I’ve tried both solutions and I cannot make it work, I could really use some hint here:

I’ve tried:

add_action(‘activate_folder/plugin.php’, ‘function’);

and also:

$myrelpath = preg_replace(‘.*wp-content.plugins.’,”,__FILE__);
add_action(‘activate_’.$myrelpath,’function’);

But it seems that my function for installing my SQL TABLES
doesn’t get initiated. Is there something that I’m missing?
I have read CREATING TABLES WITH PLUGINS, but nothing seems to help.

I have put my install-function in its own php-file and placed it in ../plugins/ along with my plogin.php file.

UPS, sorry Im a newbe:

function my_install() {
global $wpdb;

$sql = “CREATE TABLE my_images (
id MEDIUMINT(9) AUTO_INCREMENT,
content TEXT,
PRIMARY KEY (id),
);”;

require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-admin/upgrade-functions.php’);

dbDelta($sql);
}

add_action(‘activate_my_plugin.php’,’my_install’);

BUT it still doesn’t work?

To be more specific this is what I try, but I cannot get it to work. My plugin “myplugin.php” is ofcourse placed in
/plugins/myplugin.php

and my install.php is placed in the same directory.
This is the code:

function my_install() {

global $wpdb;
$wpdb->show_errors();

$sql = “CREATE TABLE myTable (
id MEDIUMINT(9) AUTO_INCREMENT,
content TEXT,
PRIMARY KEY (images_id), );”;

require_once(ABSPATH . wp-admin/upgrade-functions.php’);
dbDelta($sql);
}

add_action(‘activate_myplugin.php’, ‘my_install’);

Im trying to use:

add_action(‘activate_your-plugin.php’,’lgoodbar_function’);

But I must do something wrong cause nothing works.
Im trying to create tables and I’ve read all about $wpdb and how to use activate_ hook to trigger my install.php when plugin installed. Maybe I type in the wrong pluginurl or maybe I put my install.php the wrong place. Can someone please help me with an example or maybe a hint about how to debug my installer.
