Database issue, makes no sense NEED HELP ASAP!!

[Sinister-Racing]

I tried to install The Enable/Disable Categories Contrib. Everything went fine as far as I could tell until the reload. All I had visable was the header and the 1st 2 boxes on the left. The rest was blank. The first 2 boxes we my Ebay auctions box and then my categories box with the Coolmenu as a contrib. I tried to restore the files with the backups and remove the one line that I added to the database (ALTER TABLE categories ADD categories_status TINYINT(1) UNSIGNED DEFAULT "0" NOT NULL;) But now all I have is jumbe from the Coolmenu and the following statement

 

1054 - Unknown column 'c.categories_status' in 'where clause'

 

select c.categories_id, cd.categories_name from categories c, categories_description cd where parent_id = '0' and c.categories_id = cd.categories_id and c.categories_status = '1' and cd.language_id = '1' order by sort_order, cd.categories_name

 

[TEP STOP]

 

I did a search through all the files to find anything pertaining to the categories_status, but found nothing. If I reinsert the SQL command it goes back to the blank screen with the header and 2 boxes. any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am not sure if the Coolmenu DHTML contrib. has anything to do with this or not??

Have you checked the database to make sure the new field was actually added?? The error message leads to believe that it was not.
