Dear David: Where is the plug in folder? I cannot find it. Do I need to create? If so, where should it reside relative to the Ushahidi root directory? Do I need to modify the “timespan” name? A step by step for low level users such as myself would be helpful.
Cheers.
Dan

Hi David,
I installed this plugin and defined the settings in the admin area, but irregardless of the settings, time span doesn’t appear to change the main page timeline on harassmap.org. I noticed above that the plugin needs some filters defined (ushahidi_filter.active_startDate, ushahidi_filter.active_endDate, ushahidi_filter.active_month) but I’m assuming that these are defined bu the plugin. Is that right, or do I need to be defining them elsewhere?
We updated our Ushahidi_Web instance on 3/2/11 from the Git Hub repository. We’re also running Database version 49, if that helps.
Thanks!
JD
