OOOh - I'd forgotten about this - we need this here.

Hehe yup. I just updated to add tablewrappers. My FTP is acting funny so my upgrade on my test server is a little slow, so changes to mods are coming slowly.

Merci

In your next version this is what I would love to see...

Create a method for the developer/hacker to create a simple script that they can attach to their mod. When I the user have added the mod I can run this script and have it auto fill in the database record/and or modify the database.

This way I can have all the data provided by the developer correct instead of having to type in everyting manually.

I would envision a elegant script that will allow developers to enter all data about the mod and auto generate the necessary script for them to copy and paste in to a file.

Thanks again..

Good idea. I like it.

In fact, that info could potentially be generated by the modification index here; all the info required is here from what I know, all that would be required is a link or something added to each modification saying 'Generate Mod Info Entry', and it would give an SQL query to enter into on your admin panel.
