Thanks. I have a working solution and will post it tonight (I'm guessing that's tomorrow for you :D )

yes you have deleted 1/3 of the hardcoded dir, remaining 2/3: the activate and deactivate hooks

Good point. I was hasty and was looking at the setting that pointed to the fonts.

I'm sorry to say that 2.9.3 is still buggy about this.

Tried with folder name custom-anti-spam2 and it didn't create tables.

I repeat: the dir is still hardcoded in the code

add_action('activate_custom-anti-spam/custom_anti_spam.php', 'cas_install');

this is the problem, the activation function will never be throw because it looks to 'custom-anti-spam' dir ;)

Dynamic folder name recognition now in Version 2.9.3.

Yes, I will check that out. Thanks!

In case anybody's wondering, this is Marco's plugin (although he has a few):

Yes instructions are clear, but do not expect that people will read them :)
They do the same with my plug-ins :D

In my opinion a plug-in shouldn't have a dir rename to get properly used, but it's only a opinion.

Anyway I pointed to you a solution, read it into my plug-in and feel free to copy if you want.

Thanks for the feedback! I was hoping to cover that in the instructions at:

http://wordpress.org/extend/pl.....tallation/

But I guess that even if I made the instructions super-clear, I should still make it more intuitive. The problem is that the WordPress plugin system automatically gave me that folder name... I guess I'll either do the dynamic folder recognition or simply rename everything to refer to the folder peters-custom-anti-spam-image.

Hi,
I'm the author of the cimy user extra fields plug-in.

Tables are not created because if you download the plug-in from
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/

then your zip file contains this dir:
peters-custom-anti-spam-image

but in your code you have hardcoded (not a good idea) this dir:
$cas_fontpath = "wp-content/plugins/custom-anti-spam/";

so all people installing from that package will never have tables creation because the plug-in will never throw installation function, renaming to custom-anti-spam will work.

See my plug-in, I have workarounded a bit this problem to automatically recognize the dir name.

hope this will help.

bye
