replace spotlight.php which is in view/default/spotlight/spotlight.php with the following code (but please make a backup first) -- it works for me
here is the code
<!-- @page { size: 8.5in 11in; margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } -->
<?php
/**

?>

You must log in to post replies.Thank you for this. It will help me get started. Is there a way to modify this to use as a plugin on the profile page?
Is there any place to see this in action? Do you have a publically accessible page where one could see this? Because it sounds very interesting!
What would be neat would be to change the word Spotlight to Help then on every page that opened there could be a help hint for that page and maybe called from the mod view files. That way the site owner could have control over the content. To me Help seemed most likley since it an according, + open and - close
@SteveAquila you might want to take a look at this spotlight plugin http://community.elgg.org/pg/plugins/project/418727/developer/yartiss/rise_spotlight
If I remember correctly it does more or less what you suggest.
