of the month plugin

[nerdygrl]

I couldnt find the old thread for this plug in and was told not to bump old threads anyways so i hope this is ok.....

I was trying to use the of the month plugin but i am unsure of where exactly i am supposed to put the ID OTM text? It says to add it anywhere with an ID field? I dont really know what that means

The question is: Where do you want it to display? Once you know that, you can put the div in a template or custom page or anywhere that accepts HTML. Basically, this is what would you would need to add:


<div id="otm"></div>


Wherever you place that, be it in template or custom page, that is where it will display. If you need more help, feel free to post back - if you include the "where" you want it to display (as well as a forum URL), more specific instructions can be given.

Are these things that are manual? Or does the plugin calculate top posters on its own?

Thanks

Normally, the questions that have appeared in this thread should have been posted in the support thread for the plugin.

With that out of the way, I installed the plugin on my test forum and it looks like manual entry. Keep in mind that this plugin looks like it canbe used for more than just "top posters", which is why it probably doesn't do that calculation - just my guess, though. You'd have to ask the plugin author for the actual reason.
