I'm using a theme (blue day dynamique) that assumes I have the xoEmail plugin and from what I gather it makes sense to have it. However, it seems I can't get the plugin to install and load correctly, as I keep getting an error

Error: Smarty error: [in db:system_userinfo.html line 63]: [plugin] modifier 'XoEmail' is not implemented (core.load_plugins.php, line 118)

Do I need to do something else than unzip the files of the XOOPS installation to install the plugin? I've looked at the site of the plugin and I've searched this site, but nowhere can I found how to go about this.

Yes, that is exactly what it says on his site, but nowhere does it tell me what I have to do to get it working. It just states how you can use it and how you can configure it, but I can't even get it running.

How did you unpack your ZIP file (which file has gone where)?
Did you update the system module?

It does not run just by uploading the files. You have to edit modules templates were emails are displayed, for example, in users profile. You must identify the email variable and add the smarty modifier.

For example, replacing:
<{$user_email>

by
<{$user_email|xoEmailImage}>

Thanks for taking your time (special nod to you trabis).

Sorry for not being clear enough, but I know I have to change the templates to actually use it. The problem is that when I do that (i.e. try to use it by adding |xoEmail) I get the error message which I described in the first post.

So, it seems to me that when I try to call the xoEmail function, it fails to load it and I can't figure out why.

Edit: OK, I found the reason. When I unpacked the files, the permission was automatically set to Read for all users. I manually changed the permission to read&writ and that did it. Anyone care to give a brief explanation as to why it's necessary to also have write acess (these files are not modified by the system, are they?)?

Anyway, thank you Ghia and trabis for your efforts.

To all of the files or to directories?

Just changed the permissions of the specific files related to xoEmail and that did it.
