Closing comments

Is it possible to close comments for a certain document? How is it done?

I would presume you would simply modify the parameter in the Jot snippet call to disable posting.

I was hoping for something more suited to the enduser. Though i might be able to tackle that by adding a TV for commentable documents.

The modx wiki has dns problems at the moment so i cannot access the documentation. Which parameter disables posting replies?

I use a TV in the single-post template. It has radio options with labels On and Off and values for the Jot comment form placeholder or "comments closed" message:


My setup is actually slightly more complicated, using a snippet to check visitors against the Project Honeypot blacklist and deny known spammers the opportunity to post anything, as well as giving manual control per item on comment-closing. Just putting the [*comments*] TV in place of the [+jot.html.form+] placeholder should work, I think.

Thanks for all the help thanks to google cache if found it.

Toggling Jot parameter ’action’ between values ’default’ or ’comments’ seems to do the trick. I suppose this just hides the form and with some knowledge you could still post. But well Jot is just what it is.
