Custom Default Spotlight
(Edit your project's description!)
Replaces the default spotlight with a three column admin editable one. Each column has a heading and a body content.

Sounds great. I'm going to give it a trial.
Thanks for sharing.

The third column appears under the first, either using tinymce or not. This is without using any theme on 1.5

That screenshot is from a 1.5 install with the default theme... (using Firefox who knows what other browsers do with it) I would suggest that you edit /mod/customspotlight/views/default/spotlight/default.php to put whatever html around spotlight values you like. Feel free to send me any improvements.

i have a problem with this plugin...
it is working great on all pages except on dashboard (riverdashboard)
where spolights are included in dashboard and looks very messed up...

i'm sorry... it's not your plugin that does that... it's autodash plugin...

Anyone else having format issues? The third column for me goes beserk. I"m on a MAMP install, so maybe it's that, but any help in resolving would be great.
Thanks, and thanks for this great plugin.

I had the same issue. What's happening is that your text is too wide. It's causing the table to wrap around. Also, for those newbies, here is the link to edit your settings: /mod/customspotlight/settings

I got the same result with column 3 appearing under column 1. I tried editing the text width by clipping sentences in half and adding the second half to the next line in the editor. Still didn't work. Any ideas?

I just had a play with it. It seems that if the first line of column 3 is long then it will wrap around.
ORIGINAL (gets the wrap around)
Yes, it's 100% free! You never have to pay anything but your time.
FIXED VERSION (lines up fine)

Great plugin. Worked well. Took some time to find how to add Spotlight content (you probably mentioned it somewhere but I never read instructions). Would be nice to have a Settings tag on the Tool manager area. Not a big deal. Great job. Looking forward to dynamically linked content (probably embedded code in the column vs static html). Items could be GoogleAds, RSS feeds, Grooveshark widget, etc. I'll experiment and see what I can do. Thanks a lot.
