gl_projects: install problems with 1.0rc4

I noticed a couple of small issues.

1) /admin/plugins/projects/index.php is missing an include for lib-common.php

2) After fixing that, attempting to view the index page results in a SQL error. In particular it appears that 'gl_projects.last_release' is an unknown field in the table. Sure enough, a quick peek into mysql shows that there is no such field.

Should I add that field?

Opps ok will add that line

The field should be 'gl_projects.proj_lastrelease' If its missing you may have used the RC3 installer which was not adding that field by accident, there is a file gl_projects_1.0RC2_to_1.0rc3.php in the admin fodler that will add the homepage, downloads and proj_lastrelease fields to the database. Else download RC4. Its thats what you have then some diggin on my part is needed to see what missing.

I downloaded the rc4 and installed from that. I wasn't aware there was an upgrade patch installer. Let me know if you need any more info about my system to debug it.

Michael,

A suggestion would be to also not use generic table names in your plugin such as $_TABLES['table1']. I can just see some odd errors occurring this way.

The normal practice is to use your plugin name in the array key as in: $_TABLES['projects_table1']

Thats my - Keep up the good work

Doesn't hurt to make the change just in case :-)
