Can i force a theme not to install if a plugin is not present?
Or in other words, for what's the purpose of the section plugin in theme.xml?
Can i force the theme to not install if some of the plugins listed there are not setup?

Sorry, probably i already asked this, but my memory is getting older...

Hi, I think this is an option for the theme designer to achieve a nice page filling immediately after installing the theme, but that only works with standard plugins, you can indeed never know what is installed...

And you always choose to install the plugins or not in the theme prefs?

I'm going to experiment with it, I had ignored it until now but if you set up a website and then export the settings you get a install/install.xml wow, e107 can really do a lot!

Ok, you got a point there...

Since i'm writing a theme for myself, i know which plugins i need for my theme to work....

Currently that functionality is not supported. There is a related feature request here: #4390

The url element in .xml was added in preparation of related functionality but this has not been completed.
