Help with Sugarcrm 5.0 custom patch development

[moschap]

I am working on a new patch for sugarcrm 5.0 that would modify the Administrator, User and Configurator module of Sugarcrm. I want to add a new column to the database as i am installing the patch through the upgrade wizard. I have added the column to the vardefs.php in the Users module, but the upgrade wizard does not create a database column as i expect, please can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong and how i can make the Upgrade wizard operate as expected. Thanks.

NB: In Sugarcrm 4.5 i would have an sql file that contains the alter table statements that i want but this script is not processed if i add it to the patch in the sugarcrm 5.0 version.

Hi everyone,

Please can anyone help me out here i really would appreciate any help.

Again at the very end of the installation of the patch, on the last screen of the installation process through the upgrade wizard i get this error,

Warning: require_once(C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/leadcapital/cache/upload/upgrades/temp/54.tmp/scripts/upgrade_homepage.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\leadcapital\modules\UpgradeWi zard\end.php on line 47

and now if i click on the upgrade wizard i see the same thing. Hope it helps. Thanks
