Hi- I an trying to get acronym working. 

I have copied the files to the folders as instructed.
Added the css: acronym { border-style: dashed; border-width: 0 0 1px 0; cursor: help; }
And clicked install on the module control panel
I see the Acronym list in the control panel so I am pretty sure that the module is installed.

Now when I go to this age I don’t see the acronym AOL underlined as described by the functionality of the acronym module
http://www.votetocracy.com/blog/index.php/site/entry/weekly_update_monday_5_1_09_to_friday_5_5_09/

So here are some questions:
The module files did not come with a “images” folder as described
Do I have to put any code into the templates file?
Do I have to do anything in the body area of the blog post when I awnt the acronym to be underlined. Such as tags or anything


Thanks for your help.

Dave

You’ll need to put the acronym tags in your template.  You can find the tags in the acronym docs.

Nothing needs to be in the body of your entry as long as everything else is set up correctly.

Thanks Lisa smile

Because our Documentation is a little poor there… I’ll throw in this example for your template:

{exp:weblog:entries}
<h2>{title}</h2>
{exp:acronym acronym_group_name='Standard'}
<p>{body}</p>
{/exp:acronym}
{
/exp:weblog:entries}

Just for future viewers, you need to close the pair:

{exp:acronym acronym_group_name='Standard'}
{bill_news_body}
{
/exp:acronym}
