Well, then I stay with one more open question: when you say "manually
loading" what do you mean?
I know now that I can /must manually "include" a plugin, as any other file,
and then manually register it instead of letting the plugin dir and the
naming convention do both things for me, but I still need the plugin in the
plugin_dir to be "loaded", otherwise I will get the "could not load plugin
file" error. But actually I don't know how I can manually "load" the plugin,
you don't seem to use the words "registering" and "loading" as synonyms, so
what is "manually loading"?

yes, that's called "register the plugin manually".

no! smarty won't try to auto-load your plugin if you already
registered it manually.

it will only throw a '"could not load plugin file" error' if the
plugin wasn't registered *and* is not not found in plugins_dir. but
manually registered plugins *always* have precedence over
auto-loading.

what he (boots) meant here with "manually loading" is: "making sure
that the implementation of the plugin (the php-funciton) is defined".
