hope someone will be interested of my little experience ...
when i did install the zWatermark Addon first it didn't want work. Everythink did look good: the plugin was installed, the watermark image was uploaded and the plugin says that it's ready to watermark new images!
but when i did try to upload a new image, there came an "echo" from the script resp. the database: "Updating table pixelpost failed! Error: Unknown column 'zw_id' in 'field list'"
first i did not understand. but when i did read this message once again, i found out that there was already written the reason respectively the solution of the problem!
The reason was, that the circumstance that there is in my database no more a table called pixelpost! my very own pixelpost-tables did get an extra prefix (xyz_ pixelpost) and in this case the installing resp. the altering of just this one meant table couldn't be done the right way! the script did have has looked for a table named "pixelpost", but that wasn't there!
I do wonder a little why the script didn't gave an error-message after installing itself. cause it wasn't able to work really!
At last i did solve the problem by adding the 5 necessary columns into the table xyz_pixelpost by hand! And so the Addon does work well right now!
in this case i do think, there is a little lack in the concept of the plugin, resp. the admin_zwatermark.php.
But - it is a "beta", i know. ;-)
Hope i've should have given a little help and will say thanks at all for this pretty work!
