    Can anyone help with Jot email and moderation on ModX Evolution 1.0.3?

    What I want to do...
    I have two Manager Users on my site

    Admin (Administrator)
    Aideen (Editor)

    I want them both to recieve an email notification any time there is a new blog comment.

    What I have done...
    So far I have created a User Group under Manager Permissions called Blog Admins and
    both Admin and Aideen are users in these groups.

    My Chunk...
    My Blog Comment Chunk looks like this

    [!Jot?
    &captcha=`1`
    &moderated=`1`
    &customfields=`name,email,company`
    &validate=`name:Please enter your name,email:Please enter a valid e-mail address.:email`
    &pagination=`5`
    &placeholders=`1`
    &output=`0`
    &canmoderate =`Blog Admins`
    &notify =`2`
    &subjectModerate =`Blog - new comment awaiting moderation`
    !]

    Possible issue?...
    I just noted in the Jot Parameters that the Parameter ’&canmoderate’ applies to ’delimited web groups’. I don’t have any Web Groups - just my two Manager users which are connected to the ’Blog Admins’ Manager User Group


    Hope I have not confused you! Any help appreciated.

    • Only the document’s author will be notified:
      but a manager will receive notifications if

      * you use Jot 1.1.3+
      * the manager is the document’s author and
      * you provide &notifyAuthor=`1`

        Is there any way to have all the Manager Users notified regardless wether they were the original author or not?

          Thanks Susan
          That worked fine. I also created a Web User and Web Group and managed to get notifications working for them.
