Automatic database upgrade for non-module objects?
I am working on migrating some modules and started with downloads. I discovered my site did not have icms_data_file and icms_data_urllink tables in the database because we never added them to the upgrade scripts when we added them to the installer (in version 1.3.0). The Downloads uses those tables and I'm working on adding them to the database and addressing this for anyone else who might be in the same situation.
If these were module tables, there is an automatic upgrade method that looks at the object and its variables and determines the name and structure for the tables and adds or applies any necessary changes. At this point, I haven't found similar methods for these objects - and there are quite a few. Avatars, comments, notifications, files, URLs, images and image categories, users, groups, group permissions, private messages, autotasks, blocks, ranks, templates, and probably a few more - I haven't gone through them all. They all seemed primed and ready for this approach - am I missing something?
