[wp-hackers] Upgrading a plugin that works on WP 2.9.2 to work with WP 3.0.1+

[Dustin Lennon]

I'm still at a loss at how to get my plugin to activate without errors. Is
there anything, anything at all that I can do to my code to help me out? The
WP Codex hasn't been updated in how to write plugins that use a database to
store values. I do know that in the codex that it still mentions using
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php'); and that is
deprecated. Having it in my code originally cased it to show a white page
after plugin activation.

Right now, I have a plugin that says it creates a fatal error, what fatal
error I don't know as it don't give any more information and am unsure
whether or not if I do any plugin updates, it updates the MySQL tables.

Plugin was deactivated when I went to the plugins page to activate, when I
did, same error w/o any indication as to what it is.
