Plugin alters other plugins' tables

[nsrosenqvist]

I commented on this at: http://octobercms.com/plugin/anandpatel-seoextension/database-problem-with-blog-plugin?page=1#post-7954

Since the plugin depends on that other tables exists before being installed it crashes the installation procedure when a project is attached to a fresh octobercms install. It then tries to alter Blog's tables that haven't been created yet.

A much better implementation would be if it created it's own tables and just referenced the rows from Blog, but include cascading settings for the database so that no redundant rows are left cluttering the database. (like http://octobercms.com/plugin/bedard-blogtags does it)

I am planning for creating separate plugin for Blog which depends on RainLab Blog and SEOExtesion. thanks for suggestion i will try to update on this soon.

This issue still exists, the workaround for me is to remove this plugin first, then add it back again for every new project/website instance that I have this plugin attached into.
