How to use a joomla plugin -

i have plugin have installed & able view on plugin manager , have no idea how use on template i.e possible assign plugins positions? new joomla assistance appreciated.

plugins respond (are triggered by) events. not meant attached specific position (like modules are). should enable it, it'll start listening event(s). did build plugin yourself? if it's else's it's commonplace use {myplugin} parameters {/myplugin} syntaxis, can call editor field. in case have module editor field, place in position want , call plugin it.
