Trader Ratings v1.2.0

[Osiris2k]

How do mods and admins edit users feedback?
Thanks.


beside the comment that was left for the user there is an edit button. you can edit the rating comment etc if you are logged in as a admin.

[djwins]

Thanks!

Is there a way I can "import" previous feedback (which consists of just text in forum posts).

Can I put in starting feedback numbers somewhere and then have the new Trader Ratings trades get added onto that?

I realize it would be quite a data entry project, but is it possible?

[Telkman]

One of my forums also had a feedback thread for users - personally I just created a dummy user and manually entered all the feedback into the system... seemed the easiest way.

As entries were from multiple users, I also edited the script to allow multiple feedback from the dummy user to count towards the feedback scores.

[djwins]

Any other options?

Hi Jason.

I have a small question I ave installed the hack, but I have a special section called Buying & Selling Category.!

What I want to do is only the users who have registered to that paid subscription, have access to the trader ratings.! The users who have'nt registered to the paid subscription DO NOT have access..!

Help :)

[eoc_Jason]

djwins - There is no "import" system simply because of all the complxities and variations involved. You can either opt to do it all manually, have your users rate each other for old things, or just let everyone start at zero.

mojo8550 - You can do it all with the vB templates conditionals, wrapping links and such with <if condition=""> </if> statements. For further protection you can edit the .PHP file to include extra validation to ensure users don't try to circumvent the system to rate people (though I've never found anyone that has).

Sorry Jason

I'm alittle new to this would it be possible if you could simplify the method or
exactly where would I insert all that code..! PLEASE..! :nervous: :nervous:

[djwins]

If you have a community that is good about policing itself, you could have the users fill out excel spreadsheets and import the feedback into the DB.
If you have honest users and a few who are willing to do some double checking, this could work...

[Polo]

Excellent Hack. Thanks Jason..

And well I had a question.. is it possible to make the trader ratings so that members can only rate a person once only? I'm using this mod in kind of different way, and this would help me alot...

[Polo]

Anyone?

[dethfire]

anyone know how I could restrict a forum to only users with say a rating of 50 or greater can view a specific forum?

[Khaine]

How would I go about preventing a specific usergroup from receiving feedback? On my site we have a number of advertisers who compete with the same products, and I really don't want to have to deal with the drama of them having competing trader ratings.

[Kihon Kata]

Clicked Install!!! :bandit:

This is a hot hack! Good job!

I own and run a beauty product review/swaps site with a swapping section where users(mostly women) trade beauty products. This has replaced my version of our feedback system. I did do some minor tweaking to the script to fit our needs, but nevertheless, the hack rocks! Thanks a million!!

I have one issue: The PM notification. The PM is working fine going into the PM box, but no one is receiveing EMAIL notification when this PM arrives.

Any Ideas?

(of course I am talking about users who select this option in the usercp)

[eoc_Jason]

since it's not really a "cricital" message, I hardcoded it not to send an email notification. You can alter the PM code to lookup the user's info to see if they do want email notifications, then alter the function when it sends the PM accordingly.

[Martaigne]

Just upgraded to v1.2.0!

Feel free to add my site to your list of sites using it: www.accordinglydone.com/forum/

[Kihon Kata]

Can you point me in the right direction with this on how to actually do it?

I'm having problems installing this Hack.. I am very new to the Vbulletin world .. My site is www.offroadblog.com ..

[rex_b]

could someone please share with me the easiest way to manually change a users Rating. I don't care if I have to go into the DB I just need to know where.

[pdx77]

Very nice hack! <clicks on Install>

and Rex, let me know if you find out how to manually change a rating, either on here or on SU. (mtied, on the other site)

[eoc_Jason]

You can't manually add / remove points to a rating, it is recalculated based on data in the DB each time someone rates the user (or a rating is edited of course).

Can someone help me modify my member templates so that theres a nice link in their profile to add feedback?

[eoc_Jason]

Read the text file. All you have to do is modify the memberinfo (I think it is) template and add the TR text similar to the postbit. Also you might want to modify the member search results too for convience.

you need to add the template changes to your other style...

[hasan2k]

I have a few questions:

Once installed, can I change the settings in the traderratings.php file. I want to change the time limit allowed for editing the ratings.

If it is possible, how can I set the editing time to 90 days. Is it still in seconds? (90 days X 24 hours X 60 mins X 60 sec)

Do I need to reinstall to change the setting. I have already installed.

Also, I have read through most of the pages and still not sure about the following issue. From what I understand ONE unique user can give 10 feedbacks but they will only count for 1 point in rating. Now my question is which point will be taken. A person can rate "positive" in one feedback transaction and "negative" in another.. You know what I mean? what if in 10 feedbacks 6 is positive and 4 is negative. Will the script count any of those? or is it going to only count the first one? I am very confused.

[xtreme-mobile]

ive done the template edits on both :ermm:

[djwins]

Is there a way that I can have the Trader Rating notification private message contain a link back to the sender's Trader Rating page?

Thanks again for the awesome hack!

[Telkman]

The actual message is stored in the phrase: tratings_pm_message.

You could have that passed a parameter and return it as part of the phrase, but I think it's probably easier to add it manually.

The last code in traderratings.php is the function for sending the pm. You can easily see what details are being used as far as the username/userid etc are concerned, so it's easy to add the url into $message before it's sent.

If you want the url in the middle of the message, or don't want to hard code the message so it's easy to change in future or translate, you can use a particular unique word in the phrase in place of the userid and then replace it with a string function before inserting the pm.

[djwins]

Hmm...sounds a bit over my head, but thanks!

[hasan2k]

In the template.txt file provided with the installation zip file it says the following:


NOTE: If you only want specific user groups to use the ratings, you will also need to modify the traderratings.php code to prevent users from getting to the feedback page through manual URLs (unlikely, but possible). This feature will be fully implemented in the next version (if you don't want to modify the php file).

Can anyone here tell us the what code in the php file to modify. I have done the template modification to not allow certain user groups but i want to make it full proof so that none can use the ratings system via manually going to the trader ratings pages (all pages in TR).

I would appreciate if someone here gives me the actual code to reflect the change.

[kobescoresagain]

Would it be possible to make a small module for vbadvanced that shows like the top 5 rated members or something?

[kobescoresagain]

to do this I think I would need the portion of code that makes top rated traders. Can anyone help?

Nice hack!

[DaShAkA]

eoc Jason, I just sent you a pm. with a few questions

[eoc_Jason]

As I have said many times in the past, this hack will work with just about any vB 3.x version (past, present, and future) because it is implemented independent of 99% of vB itself.

I don't provide any technical support because I am too busy with other work. (Which is why that nifty little checkbox next to "supported" is NOT CHECKED). I've been meaning to come out with an update, but seeing as how this is free (and works great as-is) it's not exactly high on my priority list.

It's not a complicated hack, if you can't figure it out then I'm sorry but you will have to rely on some of the other people here for help, or just try to track down what you are doing wrong yourself.

[Sh4dy313]

[Spinball]

Agree with djwins - this is one of the most important hacks I have on my board and is appreciated by all users.
Jason - appreciate you may be really busy, but a rebuttal facility would be an excellent addition.
Also I hope you'll be able to set aside a little time to tweak the hack for 3.5.

[Spinball]

Jason, I'm running a trading forum using 3.5 beta 1. I am happy to beta test the new version of this hack.

[eoc_Jason]

I'm not even going to consider a 3.5 hack until it becomes a stable / gold release. Besides, I've got some bigger plans for the TR system that should make it a much more valuable resource to the end-user. (It will always be free, don't worry.)

This is the most used hack on my site. I wouldn't consider the upgrade until a 3.5 hack is available.
I know this has been discussed many times but when/if you release a new version would it be possible to allow multiple feedback from one user to count? My members want the ability to show how many trades a person has made on our site.

Hi, I was wondering if/when is this hack going to be upgraded to 3.5? It's pretty much crucial that we have it for our forums :)

Also, is there a way to do a one-button "Delete All Ratings For This User" thing? I've tried to edit traderratings.php but I'm no good at php. Anybody help please :D?

[eoc_Jason]

1. When the final release of 3.5.x is available, then an updated version of this hack will be released. Not until then... I'm sorry to do that, but if anyone remembers how many changes vB 3.0 went through before it finally became a stable release, you would understand.

2. There is no "delete all ratings" button, I never considered that a valid action. However you could manually go into the database and delete all based on his userid, and manually update the TR info in the user table too.

3. If you want multiple feedbacks to count towards the score, simply modify the function at the bottom of the traderratings.php file. It's not that complicated to modify.

[cherieann]

nm, great mod :) installed

trying to change the word "optional" on my trading to "mandatory"

i've already edited the .php so it'll be mandatory, but cannot find the words "optional" anywhere in tratings_thread_url :(

Then modify the phrase tratings_thread_url and removed the "(optional)" text.

i'm assuming it's using $vbphrase.. but i'm not very good at php to know where to edit that specific vbphrase

anychance you can point me in the right direction? :)

thanks

[eoc_Jason]

Phrases are edited via the AdminCP... Under the "Languages / Phrases" section (or something similar to that... it's the 3rd choice on the list I believe).

[kobescoresagain]

is there a way to change it so it displays a number, then something like 5 stars. I don't think it would be that hard, could be done with a while statement, I believe. Anyone know how to do this.

[eoc_Jason]

Why would you want a star rating instead of numbers? I don't see how the two would correlate, unless you made the # of stars relevant to the % of positive feedback.

[yoyoyoyo]

Why would you want a star rating instead of numbers? I don't see how the two would correlate, unless you made the # of stars relevant to the % of positive feedback.ebay uses both and it works fine. they give you a specific star icon for the level of feedback, and also list the number.

[eoc_Jason]

My mistake, I thought he said stars instead of numbers, but he said numbers and then "something like 5 stars"... (Which I'm assuming he means the vBulletin scale of 1-5 stars). The easiest way to do it without having to even edit the PHP file would be to just do some if conditionals in the postbit template to base your stars on the TR score.

As for the eBay stars that yoyoyoyo mentioned... don't even get me started with how pointless those things are... They are eyecandy and nothing more... and that's all I will say about that.

[bigcurt]

I think the hack works great, the stars are cool but there just for looks, My site could not live without this hack..and there are a few things I would LOVE to see done with this hack jason but stars arent really one of them :P. If you ever get time I might give you some money to modify this hack for a few things jason, when you get time :). I love this hack, and thank you a TON for doing it.

I am still hoping for a percentage mod for this. Right now I am having problems because people assume ANY positive number means the seller is okay, and buy from them without looking at the details. But as it turns out, a seller with 10+ and 4- = 6+. It should really equal 60%.

My members are trying to work on this. I am not above doing on the fly calculations on my site, as it's pretty small. Alternately, I can add another DB column and run some SQL to populate it, and then I just need to code to display it.

1. I said this before and I will say it again. There will NOT be an update for vB 3.5.x until they have a final release. (So much code changes during the beta/RC versions, I really don't feel like having to do a bunch of needless re-work). It is currently a RC1, typically two more RC's come out, then the final release.

2. If you want to know how to make a % display, look at the function that does the calculations, and also the main TR page (since it calcs %'s for that page). The easiest cource of action would be to add another column to your user table to store the % value (if you don't want to do it on the fly). Then under the function that calculates out the TR score, add the code to calculate the % and update the user table with that info too.

You will have to run a mass-update to re-calc all users. I'm not sure if I posted any code for that, but the concept is not that complex to write your own little routine.

[eoc_Jason]

1. Edit your templates that you modified with TR Info
2. Delete the traderratings.php file
3. Delete all tratings_* templates
4. Delete all tratings_* phrases
5. Drop the user_rate_trade table
6. Remove the ratetradetotal column from the user table

Your issue with skin/template is probably an inheritence issue. I.E. the TR templates are at a lower level than the skin you are using.

That's understandable - and I for one appreciate the time you've invested into this system - as it's a great addition to any site that has regular sales taking place.

I completely forgot to check to see if this supported 3.5 yet and just finished the conversion - had I checked this and seen your response, I wouldn't have upgraded since this is probably the most useful modification I have in place. I kept the SQL information saved so hopefully it'll work into the new system.

[Chedy]

I've only read through half the pages here, so please forgive me if this has already been covered but I haven't seen it. I am running TR 1.2.0. I have a handful of people reporting that all the TR pages are blank in IE. They can be seen in Mozilla, but not IE. 99% of my users can see it just fine in all browsers. It's just a handful that can't see it in IE.
Has anyone encountered this before? I've already commented out the "$phrasegroups = array();" line. That fixed it for many who had problems, but not all.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

[eoc_Jason]

As mentioned numerous times before, it is probably an inheritence issue with your style sets. If you use multiple styles then you need the templates to obviously be at the highest level so that they can be inherited by all other styles below it.

[RealDN]

Hey Jason or anyone. I have a little problem. I'm not sure whether this is supposed to look like this or not, but it does. On my forum RealDN.com (http://www.realdn.com) when you take a look at the members list, you see that the layout is all messed up. I'm not sure where the ratings, and user titles are supposed to go, but it looks a little weird.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I installed this with no problems on vB 3.0.9. However, I have some questions:

1) Where is my admin control panel for this Trader Rating hack?

2) Right now, anyone can click on the link in the navbar and view everything. I only want registered, admin, mods, and supermods to access this. Can anyone help me with permissions on how to do this?

UPDATE: I got Question #2 fixed, but I don't think my Trader is complete. All I see is "Trader Ratings" link in my navbar. Where's the control panel, if it has one? I followed everything in the instructions, but can't figure out where the other stuff is. Please help!

Thank you!

[hydrostatic]

It doesn't have a control panel... Anyways I'll wait for a port to 3.5.

I do have one suggestion though: can you make a button to clear a user's trader ratings? For example, User A has 10 trader ratings. I want to delete all 10 without going to EDIT and check DELETE THIS RATING for all 10... it'd take forever. I want this mainly because some people liked to "scam" for ratings, and there were a bunch of users (like 20) who tried to do so. So I had to delete every single one they got by hand. A horrible nightmare.

[digitalSite]

So...no control panel, ok. So how do we use this then? If I click on Trader Ratings, all I see is a list of about 15 users with "0" next to their names and that's it. Is there any documentation on how to use this? There are a few screenshots at the beginning of the thread but I only get one of those screens, and that's after clicking on "Trader Rating" link.

Pleeeeaaase help! I would liek to get this going soon on my site. :nervous:

@ eoc_Jason:
Since the complete hack is a new file and there are no code modifications in other vBulletin files, I assume that this program works also on vBulletin 3.5, right?

(I just renewed my upgrade subscription, so I can't yet test it myself).

[Gavin B.]

No it doesn't work with vB3.5 out of the box. I've hacked mine to work, but it's very dodgy and I'd rather not spread around a half-arsed patched together version of it. :)

Will be looking forward to the official port to 3.5 though jason - thanks for all the work!

[Trana]

eoc Jason,

I looked at the template file, and was wondering if there is any way to limit trader ratings to users who have mo9re than 100 posts (without using a user group). Is there any way to specifically use the post count?

Thanks!

[NickCat]

Just installed... this hack is awesome... I can't wait for more features! :)

GREAT hack! I've been using it for awhile now, it's perfect! I'm begging Jason to port it to v3.5 so I can upgrade my forums. :D

[NickCat]

Sorry if it's been covered already, but is there any way to check the URL for a matching URL prior to allowing the member to post.

I have made URLs required for verification of sale. And I have told my members they must post a a URL that is a thread on my forums. Anything else should reject the feedback. Is there anyway to do this with this system?

[tokenyank]

Not that I don't want this to be updated as I have 3.5 installed on my dev site waiting to be moved over... But, don't you need eoc_Jason's permission to update this mod Zachariah?

The only reason I ask is because I don't want work to be carried out on this mod, only for it to be pulled because of permissions.

I pm'd eoc_Jason several weeks ago and he assured me that this would be updated to 3.5 when it went Gold...

Again, I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but since this is what is holding me back, it is rather important to me (as well as many of those that use it I reckon) that it is done correctly?

I'll just shut up now and sit on my hands so I don't update my board before time! :D

Ya I sent him an e-mail, I think I have 7/8 of it done. Perhaps he can use the code to speed up his venture.

Hi Guys,

Yes there will be a 3.5.0 hack released soon, with more features than the current version. I'm currently upgrading my forum to 3.5.0 Gold today, but I'm hoping to have the hack released within 7-10 days. (rough estimate) I'm still trying to get my life back in order though from the whole Hurricane Rita debacle...

I am going to be changing the name, probably to "iTrader" (I'm open to suggestions, so post them if you got them). The reason being is that I am making a stand-alone Trader Ratings website (free for everyone to use) which will have a lot more features / capability, and have additional plugins for forums so that a user can have their same ratings anywhere they go and that it is verified who they are. (But that's a whole different story). Anyhow, I do not want both things to use the same name to avoid confusion.

Jason,
This hack is one of the most intregal parts of my site. I would love the ability to have trader feedback follow a trader from various boards. What a revolution that would be to the trading arena. I like the name itrader and am more than willing to pay for some type of premium membership for this~similar to what v3arcade is doing. Thanks for all your work on this!

[KidneyBoy]

Yes this is fantastic news for us that run Buy/Sell/Trade-style boards. I am just getting started on vBulletin at 3.5.0, so I haven't had a chance to use your original MOD, but it's exactly what my site is looking for. Furthermore, you hinting that you will be running a site where feedback can be left in a universal-style setup would take things to a whole new level! I really hope that your plans include compatibility with other Forums (eg older versions of vBulletin, phpBB, etc.) so that other trading sites can contribute additional references and "red flags".

Man, it's pathetic when I can get so excited over a Modification.....Proof I have no life :lol:

Take it easy
KidneyBoy

[eoc_Jason]

Yes, the plug-in's will only require very simple information to be transferred back and forth between the forums and main Trader Ratings site. When people actually "rate" someone it will go to the main site so that proper auditing can be kept local. I know several of the people that manage "Troll Hunters" (I'm sure you all have heard of them), and am hoping to work closely with them so that fraud can be kept to a minimum, and by working at a more global level it will help keep all forums better protected.

However, I know some people still want to keep their ratings for their forum only, and that's okay. Which is why I'm continuing to support this script, albiet with a different name for 3.5.0.

Hi guys. I am just about to do a complete upgrade to the latest version of VBulletin 3.5

obviously doing that will reset all the template files and remove this mod from my forum that it is currently installed on.

will running this installer again afterwards recreate it? all the data should still be in the sql tables right?

[Odysseus]

You cannot use this hack on vB 3.5 yet, sbryan.

Yep - it will all still be there once the vB3.5 version of trader ratings is ready.

Yesterday I spent the entire afternoon just coding part of the AdminCP stuff. I figured it would be nice to move the variables out of the PHP file and into their "proper" location. It took me a LOT longer because I was having to figure it out for myself and insert all the data manually into the DB. After I finished everything, I discovered that if you turn on Debug Mode then additional options appear to add new setting things... DOH! Better documentation for developers would go a LONG way.

Anyhow, still have to finish the AdminCP / ModCP tools. Problem with that is the AdminCP you can use an XML file, but for the ModCP you have to use hooks (that makes no sense but it's how they did it). I don't think I will get a chance to work on it today though. Wish I could give you guys an ETA when it will be released, but I'm working as fast as I can, my forum members want this back too, but I don't want to release a half-assed version.

No problem Jason, thanks for doing this up for us...

As I'm very keen to upgrade and am only really waiting for this one to be done, could you just confirm whether or not this is going to come with an upgrade path from the 3.0.x series to the 3.5?

If yes, I can upgrade now and just disable the trader ratings until I can run the upgrade.

If no, I'll wait longer! :D

Thanks again

tokenyank - yes, there will initially be a separate install file for people wanting to upgrade from vB 3.0.x (assuming you are running TR 1.2.0), however I'm including instructions for things to "double check" just to make sure it removed all the old things that are not used / needed anymore. After than only one file should be needed for future upgrades.

phonexpo - Are you are trying to install on a 3.0.x or 3.5.0? Did you already have a failed install and you tried to re-run the script?

[eoc_Jason]

Attention - Attention - Attention - Attention

I need a couple (meaning 2 or 3) beta testers for the new vB 3.5.0 version.

Prerequisites:

Must currently be running vB 3.5.0
Must have previously used TR 1.2.0 & have not touched the data since the update.
Must have an ACTIVE forum with people using the ratings. (If nobody uses it then it can't be tested very effectively).
Must have email and / or IM for quick contact to resolve bugs.
MUST MUST MUST be knowledgable with vB templates, phrases, and database skills. (i.e. You would know how to backup / restore a table, or at least use phpmyadmin proficiently.)
Must be willing to submit ideas / suggestions / changes (not like code changes per-say, just how you think something should work in general).
Must be willing to accept the fact that they are beta testing and bugs / issues will arrise.


Please contact me via PM if you are interested, be sure to include your forum URL, email address, and IM screename (and which service it is).

Also, please be aware that tomorrow is Sunday, and I usually do not get online much, so my earliest replies will probably be Monday morning for everything.

The sooner this can all be tested (both functionality & installation), the sooner it can become an official public release.


UPDATE - Thanks for everyone that contacted me. I think I have enough people to test it now (and even a couple translations).

[Trana]

I am interested, will send a PM with my info.

Just an update for everyone on the 3.5.0 version. I've been having to track down a bug (not related to this addon) in vB, a couple of the developers even had to peel through my forum to verify it was happening because they couldn't replicate it on their test forum. Anyhow, the bug was finally found and fixed yesterday (*crosses fingers*, I haven't checked today), so I can get back to work on this now.

Same here, at the moment Guests or groups awaiting validation like Coppa and Guest who have registered by not validated there accounts can rate sales. I only want site members groups like "Members,Mods,S.Admin,Admin" to be able to rate only. And after reading the instructions. I really don't have a clue what I'm supposed to edit to achive this using the code at the bottom of the instructions. It's really unclear as to what you edit and were you place the code exactly

Also, if you don't use the postbit_legacy template, do you need to add the code to that template, or just the default postbit template only. Or both?

[grimmer]

^^+1 can we cant some sort of release timeframe?

*this is causing me to lose sleep at night*

[eoc_Jason]

I wish I could give you guys a time-frame, but I'm no project manager, and the time estimates thus far have well, come and gone.

I was working hapily along with it the other week, but decided to get a little ambitious and make some major changes, which is kind of like one step forward and two steps back.

I also have my usual daily work load that I have to do, and a few other on-the-side jobs have been taking up my free time. So unfortunatly I haven't been able to put as much time into this as I was planning. It happens, what can I say.

I know a lot of people are wanting this for 3.5.0 (including my forum members), so I'm going to try to finish up the code and remove what's not working at the moment so that I can release at least something to you guys. It will have more features than what the 3.0.x version has, but just not all the cool stuff that I was hoping to have in the initial release.

Thanks for the update Jason. I just wish I was a coder, and I could help you. This MOD will be absolutely PERFECT for my B/S/T site. As anxious as I am, I know that everyone has real lifes and there are real demands in life that *MUST* come first before hobbies like this, so as much as it kills me to say it, I'm all for you dealing with your real life demands first. We can all wait, or if we can't, we can use 3.0.9 and your current mod (or learn to MOD it ourselves :) ).

I also have my usual daily work load that I have to do, and a few other on-the-side jobs have been taking up my free time. So unfortunatly I haven't been able to put as much time into this as I was planning. It happens, what can I say.

I know a lot of people are wanting this for 3.5.0 (including my forum members), so I'm going to try to finish up the code and remove what's not working at the moment so that I can release at least something to you guys. It will have more features than what the 3.0.x version has, but just not all the cool stuff that I was hoping to have in the initial release.

I keep my fingers crossed :)

Hey guys, didn't want to leave you hanging. This past week I've been pretty sick with some crud (sinus / cold), and have been taking medication (and lots of NyQuil) trying to rest up and get better. I'm still under the weather but today I've been trying to do a little work.

I don't think I will have the thread verification implemented in the first release, still kind of quirky and trying to find the problem. Also moderation options will only be in the AdminCP initially till I do my research on how to implement stuff in the ModCP (since it's different).

Really looking forward to the 3.5.0 port :)

[eoc_Jason]

Getting very close now to a release. I'm mostly fixing some template, phrase, and PM issues. Also making sure everything is set under the proper product.

[mrderanged]

any kind of estimate as to how long "very close" is?

waiting patiently while eagerly awaiting.... :)

I'm having a problem with my senior members not showing up on my top traders list. I did create a usergroup called senior members to be able to do give them certain permissions but they're not showing up on top traders. Anyone know why that might be?

[akoj]

Has anyone used this as an alternative:

Nooooo I want 3.5.0 port :(

[bryanb]

*Subscribes to the thread so I knows when 3.5 version is released. Can't wait.

[kmike]

<font size="1">*unsubscribes from the thread because of intolerable spam/noise ratio*</font>

[orban]

Come on, update this. We realllllly need it :(

[JulianD]

I miss this feature on my forums... Maybe I should start rewriting this hack for v3.5... would be nice to see the new features the author announced but it's just taking so long to release this hack :(

[slvr ralliart]

he is prb not going to release or work on this now because of little kids cryin and you prb annoyed and pissed him off

Relax, do you want a buggy hack ?? It will be released very soon.

I can be patient in waiting, but not hearing of any updates/progress reports can be frustrating.

[hanna]

Just charge a fee if you want but upgrade this one please.

[Trana]

Are there any alternatives for this sort of hack? This is the only thing keeping me from upgrading to 3.5, I don't know if I can wait any longer.

[Shoemoney]

Ive sent jason 50$ ... maybe some others should too and he would be more driven ;)

[cinq]

I have already ported this for a client who needed it urgently to upgrade. Looks great.
Can't wait to see the new features Jason will put into the new version. I might even install it on one of my own boards :D

I'm sure he is almost done, just have patience everyone :)

[tylercruz]

Nice job shoemoney.. now he's at the bar... way to slow down progress..

hehe JK :)

[Areku]

I need a port for vb3.5.x too! I don't mind paying for it, so just make it happen ;)

[eoc_Jason]

Hey guys, sorry I haven't replied in a while. I didn't get a chance to work on it last week because of thanksgiving, and was still sick, but I've finally gotten over everything and have been working on it today. Right now I'm trying to get all the bbcode parsing to work correctly with the vB editors. The vB editors are used because people can submit additional info (kind of a thread-style) for the rating. But with 3.5.x it's kind of tricky having to call certain files and classes so it's a lot of code-digging to figure out how things work and implement them properly. (I'm even excluding ajax at the moment because of how much complexity that would add.)

There's a lot that has been added / changed, but the upgrade from 3.0.x should be pretty painless as I'm including an extra upgrade script (the table name / structure has changed, and there is an additional table, but it is somewhat backwards compatible to allow for the upgrade).

I am excluding some "like to have" features right now that I do not have working, as right now I'm trying to get the bare essentials up and doing things all properly.

I'm not pissed at anyone, and I'm not planning on charging a fee. I thank all the people who have donated money, that does let me know that you do find the hack seriously useful.

Hopefully by the end of the day today I should know much better where I stand on actual completion, and will post an update. Maybe I will post some screenshots if you guys are nice. ;)

[Zachariah]

Good news Sir.

[eoc_Jason]

I finally realized that I would have to write a class to manage the editor text parsing correctly, so since I've had to go that far I might as well have all the data management within that class.

It's coming along, I'm starting to get back in my groove, if I can keep myself motivated this should fly right along.

On a side note, mondays really suck. This morning I got hydralic fluid when I was on a forklift spray all in my face and on my shirt. My eyes still burn a little but it's not that bad. Then I cut my hand moving some equipment around. Oh, then I stepped in some mud with my nice new shoes. It never ends... I'm jinxed I swear... At least the coding is going smooth thus far.

that does suck and i can relate. had hydro fluid all in my face/mouth/shirt while loading a semi. used the side shifter and the hose ruptured. was not pleasant. happened about a month back.

thanks for the updates (and your hard work) on your port. i look forward to the 3.5.x version. it has (and continues to be) a very important part of our trading forum at pcper.com.

[dsotmoon]

thanks for the update, couldnt send much this time but made a little paypal donation to help out, keep up the great work

[bada_bing]

I have been running the Trader Rating on my site for a couple of months now and everyone loves it. I just had a question from one of my members and would like to ask one of you if you know why this is happening.

I have a member with these stats:

Feedback Score:
Positive Feedback: 11
100.0%
Members who left a positive: 11
Members who left a negative: 0
All positive feedback received: 12

Why is his Positive feedback showing 11 next to his name if he actually has a total of 12?

[notsonormal]

will this work on 3.51?

[dsotmoon]

Why is his Positive feedback showing 11 next to his name if he actually has a total of 12?

i believe it does this if he got positive feedback from the same person more than once

[Telkman]

Very much looking forward to seeing this one working with 3.5, keep up the good work, Jason!

I've noticed across a few TR installs (including my own) that people have modified the code so a certain user's ratings can count repeatedly, even when the rest don't - It makes for an easy means of adding ratings from a previous system.

On ZG, members used to just post feedback in a thread, but I manually converted this and posted all the feedback with a particular user for whom the ratings count repeatedly (http://www.zerogain.com/forum/feedback.php?u=11) - probably something you could include quite easily if you felt it would be of use to people.

[bada_bing]

So you are saying that a member cant leave positive feedback for the same person?
What if its a completly different sale? doesnt make any sense.

[ImportPassion]

yes they can, but it won't count towards your feedback score. exact same thing as ebay does.

[KidneyBoy]

*sighs* it's been a while since Jason's commented. Is there an alternative for 3.5.X? I run a free hobby site, and just can't afford that other one that was listed on here. I have held off "officially" opening my site hoping for this specific modification, and now I've lost my Super Moderator because how frusterated he was with the situation :(. Anyway, if there's anyone that knows of an (at least) affordable solution, please let me know; or if anybody comes up with a conversion of this code, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks, and I do still eventually have high hopes for Jason's mod. I just cannot hold on waiting for it any longer.

Take it easy

[dsotmoon]

*sighs* it's been a while since Jason's commented.

he just commented yesterday ? ? ?

[OttawaGolf]

Well, actually reading the thread takes time. :D

[KidneyBoy]

Honestly, I was only checking each time I got a "topic reply" notification. I apologise for what I said above because the lame duck I am, I didn't see the posts that were JUST under my nose. I don't know HOW I missed that. Maybe I was on page 49, and didn't realize there was a page 50. So again, I'm sorry and I can't believe that I missed that. Go ahead and give me the "Jackass of the Day" award :lol:

Damn!!!

Take it easy
KidneyBoy

[dnlister]

Hope you get better soon Jason.

Cant wait for the hack, thanks for the updates. Where are the screenies! :P
