Template Edits Required
After noticing that Sphinn runs a module in their sidebar showing the latest upcoming submissions, I decided to customize one for my site. It's extremely simple to the other upcoming and popular story modules already developed, but this displays only upcoming stories and lists the top 5 (or however many you want) highest voted.

I find this module helps promote users to vote more pages to the front page, but hey to each his own. The module should work out-of-the-box, but I've got the template files fixed with HTML to work with my stylesheets. So if you want to customize the look of the boxes, just edit the .tpl files included with the module.

After you upload and install, the box displays very similar to all other modules. Just edit your sidebar.tpl or sidebar2.tpl wherever you want it to appear and add the following line:

Code:
{checkActionsTpl location="tpl_pligg_sidebar_stories_toptoday"}
Anyways should work perfectly, let me know what you think!

Sorry but that doesn't make any sense. Not in any language.

I noticed you had installed this. Are you having any problems with the module?
