Hi - I moved the member_spotlight.asp to my forum folder but have seen no change on my forums page. I do have FrontPage News and Featured Poll activated. Is there any conflict here?

You'll need to make a change to default.asp, as well. I forget the code on this, but check the Read Me that comes with the Member Spotlight MOD.

Hi Rich,
There was no install doc in the mod download. Just one asp file. Maybe it's corrupted. Anyone have a copy of this doc?

Hi Ron, this readme is not for the original member spotlight it's the member spotlight with avatars. Not much in there, just to use it as an include and it seems to me that I had to use it as an include before it would work.
Hope it helps
Heres the readme

Read Me for Member Spotlight with Avatars:

1.) You MUST have the Avatar Mod installed.
2.) Just include this file anywhere on your site that you want the spotlight included.
You will have to do some readjusting with the tables to make it look like your site,
but I found it is a lot easier to use with Avatars than with pics. Most people don't
use pictures in the forums.

<!--#INCLUDE FILE="member_spotlight.asp"-->

Maybe something like this, but like it says above you'll probably have to play with the table structure to get it to look right.

Find these lines in "default.asp" near the bottom and add part in red
							

                                                         end if
							Response.Write	"</td>" & vbNewline
							Response.Write	"              </tr>" & vbNewline
						end if ' ##### Added as part of Minimize Category Mod #####					
					else
						blnHiddenForums = true
					end if ' ChkDisplayForum() 
				end if
			next '## Next Forum
		end if
	next '## Next Category
end if 
if strShowStatistics = "1" then
	WriteStatistics
end if

Response.Write	"            </table>" & vbNewline & _
		"          </td>" & vbNewline & _
		"        </tr>" & vbNewline & _
		"        <tr>" & vbNewline & _

<!--#include file="member_spotlight.asp"-->

Hi Brian! Thanks for this info. But when I added it - I received the following error, which makes me believe that there is a syntax error in the member_spotlight.asp. Any thoughts?

Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0401'
Expected end of statement
/forum/member_spotlight.asp, line 2
Response.write "<table width=""150"" border=""0"" cellspacing=""0"" cellpadding=""0"" bgcolor=" & strHeadCellColor & ">" & vbCrLf & _

I thought it would be helpful if I added the text of the member_spotlight.asp that I am using.... this relates to the problem in my previous post.

Yea my error though
Remove the part in red and add the part in green:
end if 
if strShowStatistics = "1" then
	WriteStatistics
end if

Response.Write	"            </table>" & vbNewline & _
		"          </td>" & vbNewline & _
		"        </tr>" & vbNewline & _

%>
<!--#include file="member_spotlight.asp"-->
<%
Response.Write  "   </td></tr>" & vbNewLine & _
                "          <tr><td>" & vbNewLine & _  
                "            <table width=""100%"">" & vbNewline & _


Sorry about that . I hope this fixes it for you
Again This is just thrown in there, you will have to decide where you think it looks best.

Hi Brian -

Thanks, That worked!!!! I really appreciate all your help!!!

One final question... it is on the bottom left of the page. What lines of code do I tweak to adjust the vertical/horizontal position on the page?

Thanks! You have been a great help!

Just play with the TD tag above it Ron,


		"          <td>" & vbNewline & _

For instance <td align=""center""> should hopefully centre it on the page, if you want it to appear higher then you'll actually need to change the positioning within the code of the <!--#include line.
