Plugins are having isses

I am new to all of this and I am trying to get this work.  I am on elgg 1.6.  For some reason everytime I enable a plugin I get the same error message:

Welcome to Elgg.

<!-- display any system messages -->

 

Plugin custom_topbar_link was enabled successfully.

 

custom_topbar_link is a misconfigured plugin.

Is there soething I am doing wrong?  I have unistalled and reinstalle a few times and still the same thing.  I can't get my pollsto work either.  I was reading about a plugin mught be missing a start page, but I don't know what a start page is.  Is it specific to a wbesite?  Can someone help the metally challenged?  Thanks to anyone who can help.  Fell free to email me at 21jack@comcast.net

  • I can't believe I can't get any input. I'm not asking anyone to do any work for me, I just need someone to point me in the right direction. I am really suprised at the lack of support.

  • I did check there. It was the first place I looked. It is not any of those issues. Thank you very much for responding. Do you have any other info that I could read that may help me? It would be greatly appricieated.>

  • Here's code from engline/lib/plugins.php:

      if (!include($CONFIG->pluginspath . $mod . "/start.php"))
          throw new PluginException(sprintf(elgg_echo('PluginException:MisconfiguredPlugin'), $mod));

    So basically there's an error when Elgg includes the mod/elgg_mobile_RC1/start.php file.  You'd need to figure out what is wrong with that particular PHP script.
