Well to use a template tag you need to add the calling code to a template. Most usually something like a sidebar or a footer...

But I get the impression you were after something else. Are you looking for the unread/new post list under the groups and forums on the front page? If so that is not - by default - shown to the admins. Are you wanting to switch it on so admins can see it as well?

You are going to need to make a small edit to the spGroupView.php template of the SP theme that you are using. You can use the theme editor for this.

Right at the bottom you will find the call that displays the post list which is, by default, shown to your members and moderators and guests. By default it will read:

sp_RecentPostList('show=10', __sp('Unread and recently updated topics'));

You need to add an extra argument like this:

sp_RecentPostList('admins=1&show=10', __sp('Unread and recently updated topics'));

Note the ampersand between the new and current argument.

As always we recommend that you create your own SP theme so that any customisation is not lost during a future update. (http://codex.simple-press.com/.....g-a-theme/)

As to this second issue i can assure you the unanswered plugin and template tag simply reads data - it does not write any out. What are the symptoms you are seeing?
