is there gonna be adminCP integration at some point? i remember seeing folks ask for that, but don't remember reading an answer for it..

and Natch, you keep coming out with those add-ons and i will keep adding em on to my site..

Author/contributor is already there - just modify the links_linkbit' template to refer to $linkusername. You should probably think about who can see this information.

DL Filesize should be there, and will be next time.

Other items like link back to the authors site, images and so on can all be done by including standard bbcodes in the link/category descriptions when you set up/edit the link/category. It just requires a bit of discipline in how you lay out the entry.

I avoided admincp integration - I try to keep hacks as free of VB as possible, to avoid difficulties when upgrading. But as Natch says, it's just a link, so as/when I get round to understanding htl properly, I may find that that is the way to do it.
