    Hello, I am trying to integrate jot for the articles on http://www.adibts.net. I cannot figure out how to put the comments above the submit area. If anyone could help me with that I would appreciate it a lot! Also not sure what all the call options are for jot and cant seem to find them either. Thanks

      Try this:
      [[Jot? &tplForm=`tplJotLeaveMessageForm` &sortby=`createdon:d` &numdir=`1` &tplNotifyModerator=`tplJotNotifyMod` &tplModerate=`tplJotModerate`  &tplNav=`tplJotNavigation` &tplComments=`tplJotLeaveMessageComments` &subscribe=`0` &canmoderate=`Moderator` &notify=`2` &canedit=`Editor` &captcha=`1` &customfields=`name,email` &validate=`email:E-mail not valid!:email,content:Enter message!` &css=`0`  &output=`0` &placeholders=`1` ]]
[+jot.html.moderate+]
<h1>Messages</h1>
[+jot.html.comments+]
[+jot.html.navigation+]
[+jot.html.form+]


      Pay attention to placeholders and &placeholders=`1` &output=`0` parameters.
      Just change the placeholders order and the content will follow. wink

        Thanks for the info, i tried it and it just seemed to space out my submit form. Kinda like it added a bunch of line breaks in between the form fields. My comments box still remained at the bottom of the form though. [!Jot? &subscribe=`1` &pagination=`10`!] is what im using for the call, i just pulled the sample off of the jot page. Not even sure what pagination means and why i have it set to 10. That is just what was on the sample page where i downloaded jot. If you have any other advice i appreciate it all. Thanks

          Call Jot like this [[Jot? ... ]] instead of [!Jot?...!] and let me know.
          If the page is cacheable the call should be un-cacheable and vice versa.

            Well went in and changed the call to [[ instead of [! and it didnt seem to change the order of how things were displayed. I may just have to deal with it haha. I wish there was a list of different variables or whatever they would be called for the snippet call. If you ever think of any other options for me to display the comments above the form I appreciate your help. Its for an project called adbits that im working on. Free links if anyone wants any by the way. http://www.adbits.net

              If you want the Jot comment form to appear AFTER the actual user comments and not BEFORE -- then just put your placeholders after the Jot call. This is my chunk below and it works fine.

              [!Jot? &placeholders=`1` &output=`0` &canpost=`Registered Users, Site Admins` &canedit=`Registered Users, Site Admins` &pagination=`5` &badwords=`{{JotBadwords}}` &bw=`2` !]
