User will not rotate, read all of the threads before this and tried some of the suggestions, decided to let it run 3 days to see if anything will change.

How many users are in the selected groups? It looks like it's running but not finding someone other then user 16 that fits the criteria. Strange though considering you have it set so low.
If you want to manually run it a few times, change the Spotlight Next Cron Run field to 1, save it and then go to scheduled tasks and run the spotlight task. Set the Cron Run field to 1 each time you want to run it.
I looked at the code and it should be running fine.

As the description says, it's automatically set by a cron job. Only change that field if you want to manually set the spotlight user.

It looks like the translation has wrapped the text in the field. Since it's in the forum sidebar it's hard to adjust the field size. I'd say either put it in another location or modify the translation to say something different that's shorter.

I would rather use this as a widget for the front page of the CMS!

Mr Morningstarr · #**170** 03-04-2012, 04:01 PM

Is there anyway of putting this in a widget? Would be great in a widget.

DragonByte Tech · #**171** 03-04-2012, 06:14 PM

I'll look at adding it to the CMS next update.
