I'm trying to run the leaderboard example, and I've inserted into db.players. However, when running leaderboard, no names appear. Not even the ones specified manually in the code. mongod is running.
It might be because you're inserting into db.players, instead of Players
(Players is defined as a meteor collection at the top of leaderboard.js)
If that's the case, change your insert statement from:
db.players.insert...
to
Players.insert...
