What do you mean "no changes made to the templates" ?

This has template changes, if you don't make them then it's not going to work ....

i see you updated the zip. the first version you uploaded only had the xml in it, no info on what template changes to make so i assumed that the plugin did it during the install process. i just dl'd the zip again and i see you have updated it with the required info.

[Paul M]

I haven't changed or re-uploaded the zip.
