      In my manager, under Resources -> Chunks, I have a chunk called "Comments". In fact, it is a default chunk, installed with the default 0.9.5 installation if you chose to install the example content.

      If you have that, just put {{Comments}} at the end the content for each document you want comments on.

      If you do not have the Comments Chunk, Make an new chunk called Comments and put this in the code area:
      <div id="commentsAnchor">
[!Jot? &customfields=`name,email` &subscribe=`1` &canmoderate=`Site Admins` &placeholders=`1` &output=`0` &guestname=`An anonymous visitor` &subscribe=`1` &notify=`2` &subjectSubscribe=`A blog you are moderating at scottydelicious.com has been updated`!]
<a id="pageComments"></a>
[+jot.html.subscribe+]
[+jot.html.comments+]
<a id="pageCommentsForm"></a>
[+jot.html.form+]
[+jot.html.moderate+]
[+jot.html.navigation+]
</div>

          Get the latest Jot from the add-on repository; there was an issue with the version included with the 0.9.5 distribution.

            Ok that worked!! smiley

            But I want to disable guests from posting comments. The current code I have is

            [[Ditto? &tpl=`dittoTpl` &startID=`1` &summarize=`5` &dateFormat=`%B %d, %Y`]]

            What do I need to add so only registered users can post comments?

              Everything you ever wanted to know about Jot:

              http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/Jot

              In this case, you want 
              &canpost=`webgroup`

                Ok so I went to Security > Web Permissions

                and created a group called "Registered" So now in my code I put
                [[Ditto? &tpl=`dittoTpl` &startID=`1` &canpost=`Registered` &summarize=`5` &dateFormat=`%B %d, %Y`]]

                It still allows guests to post comments..

                Also another question how can the default user group be set to Registered. So if any random person signs up they get put in the Registered user group.

                  Ditto is for displaying the news items, Jot is for the comments. You need to put that in your Jot call, not your Ditto call.

                    Ok so if I put &canpost=`webgroup` Exactly the way it is.. Only registered users can post comments right?

                    http://bleach.endless-4um.com/index.php

                    Also why is the comment form being shown in the index page in one of the articles? I don’t want that to be shown until they click on the comments link.. It is only doing this for the recent article..
