Hi Colin,
The is_loaded() method is supposed to return true only if the plugin is
active. So the current behavior you are suggesting seem to be a bug.
What version of Habari you are getting this with? Could you file a ticket in
Trac for this issue?
PS: The Smugmug Silo looks like a nifty idea, thanks in advance for the
effort :)
