Appearance/Configure plugins → Click here to install a new event plugin → Backend: Features → Spartacus – if that's not there, something's wrong with your S9y installation since the Spartacus plugin is part of the S9y core.

Yes.

http://spartacus.s9y.org/index.php?mode=template_all – you're going to have to try them out to see if anything fits your needs. Also http://yellowled.de/ports.html has some templates which are not on Spartacus.
monere wrote:And one more thing: how do I install new themes?
Either using the Spartacus plugin or by downloading them from Spartacus or another source, unzipping the zip file you downloaded and uploading the directory created by unzipping them to /templates/ of your installation by FTP, rsync or whatever your web server offers.

That's why you'll want to use the Spartacus plugin.

You know, it wouldn't hurt if you'd google some things yourself before asking here. We appreciate the effort. :)

Yep, you are right about googling these myself and I usually do this, but I thought that this was a geeky term and so wikipedia wouldn't know this. Guess I was wrong about almighty Wikipedia hehe

Thanks anyway for the link :)

And yes, I found Spartacus, I don't know how I couldn't think of looking it up in the event plugins as well. Actually, I know how. I've used wordpress for so long that it got imprinted deep into my habits and now anything different (like for example the splitting of s9y plugins into sidebar and event plugins) confuses me.

Thanks for the help anyway. I hope to be able to pay it back sooner or later :)

Cheers!
