Showing Recent JotX Comments from Selected Pages

A recent-comments block works best when the comment source scope is explicit — otherwise the widget can quietly fall back to comments from everywhere.

JotX can show recent comments, but if the source page selection is dynamic you have to verify that the final docid really resolves to the intended documents.

Example pattern

[!JotX?
  &action=`lastcomments`
  &limit=`2`
  &docid=`[[if?is=`[[UltimateParent]]:=:1` &then=`9`]][[if?is=`[[UltimateParent]]:=:2` &then=`16`]]`
!]

What can go wrong

If the conditional logic does not resolve exactly as expected, JotX may default to a broader scope and return comments from all pages.

Recommendation

Debug the final resolved docid first. In comment widgets, scope errors are far more common than rendering errors.
