WP DB Backup core tables should reflect new and deleted tables

[MichaelH]

Add the new 'link2cat' table and delete the old 'linkcategories' table from the "These core WordPress tables will always be backed up:" list in WordPress Database Backup Plugin (wp-db-backup.php).

Good catch and easy to fix. Patch to come.

[MichaelH]

Thanks abhay, the fix works. I didn't test with Skippy's WP-Cron plugin, but notice there's a reference to tables in the wp-cron-daily function in that plugin. Should that be changed also?

[abhay]

MichaelH: sorry I can't find the reference. Could you give me a "grep --line-number" ?

[MichaelH]

Should have done that to begin with--line 869.

[abhay]

It's alright. I should have caught it. New patch is up.

New patch updated to use a single array

[westi]

I have tested this and it works fine for me.

The cron list of tables was still missing "link2cat" so i have added that in a new patch and moved this list of tables to a class attribute storing them in an array near the top of the file so they are easy to find for updates and only in one place!

I think this is good to go for commit

[MichaelH]

While testing westi's fix on a 2.0.2 to 2.1-alpha1 upgrade, I was reminded that the linkcategories table is being left, intact, on upgrades. With this fix, that table will show in the "You may choose to include any of the following tables" column of WP DB Backup.

Any idea on what to do there, if anything?

Also, any opinion about bumping the Version from 1.7 to 1.7.something?

Eventually, upgrade will drop the linkcategories table. I've been holding off on dropping the table until the bookmark design settled. That has quieted down though, so maybe the time to drop is near.
