if people have to hack the files if they use cb 1.0.2.. why not fix it in the actual plugin...

If you can tell me how, i would be pleased to know. The plugin needs to output some HTML after all fields have been sent to the client. Currently the plugin API allows to load HTML to tab headers, but not after this. Because of this a function call from CB to this plugin must be added.

This hack could be done automatically on install, but "autohacking" is a really bad idea for several reasons. It might be possible to "reverse engineer" this dynamically using reflection, but this is another raelly bad choice.

hmm i recently just tried the conditions plugin (downloaded from joomlapolis downloads section) on CB 1.0.2, and it works fine. However, i had to duplicate the getEditTab function in getDisplayRegistration so that it'll work during registration. Other than that, everything works great.

The reason for this problem is that the uninstaller does not remove the previously defined conditions (this is intentional), and then the installer tries to recreate the columns. The problem is that you cannot use "if not exists" with "alter table" in mysql.

You can easily overcome this with an installer file.

Can yo post your modified file here? My sites have all kinds of little customizations, so I cannot post my version.

Yes. The real reason why this has not been done is that I am too lazy to write an installer.
