Need help with User Rating Hack!

[POLiSH]

Hello Vbulletin world..

I am very new to the VBulletin world and I'm trying to install a User Rating Hack.. The instructions are as follows.. The Site is www.offroadblog.com

NOTE: If you are wanting ot upgrade from vB2, please contact me directly and I can create an upgrade script for you.

--- To install Trader Ratings follow these few steps: ---

1. Upload the appropriate files to the following directories:

- traderratings.php = vb root directory (ALL INSTALLS)

2. You should only need 1 of the following files to do a new install or upgrade.

- install_traderratings.php = admincp directory (1.2.0 NEW INSTALLS ONLY)
- upgrade_traderratings.php = admincp directory (1.1.0 => 1.2.0 UPGRADES ONLY)

3. Go to admincp/XXXXX_traderratings.php (install or upgrade) and follw the instructions from there.

4. Be sure to delete the install/upgrade file in the admincp directory!

5. Modify your templates as necessary. There is a templates.txt file with the code.

- Did everything..

Template Changes:

################### postbit, postbit_legacy, MEMBERINFO ###################

- Add somewhere:

<if condition="$post['userid']"><div>Trader Rating: (<a href="traderratings.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$post[ratetradetotal]</a>)</div></if>


##################################### navbar ###############################
- (I placed it before my FAQ link, but it is really a personal preference thing)
- Add somewhere between the <!-- nav buttons bar --> & <!-- / nav buttons bar -->:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="traderratings.php?$session[sessionurl]">Trader Ratings</a></td>


########################### memberlist_resultsbit ###########################
NOTE: This is similar to the postbit display, it shows the rating info on search results.

- After this text:

<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$userinfo[userid]">$userinfo[musername]</a>

- Add:

(<a href="traderratings.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$userinfo[userid]">$userinfo[ratetradetotal]</a>)

... Everything added..

The only thing that is showing up on my site is User Rating on the top menu bar? What have I done wrong .. What do I need to post on here to get some much needed help =)

What type of postbit template are you using?

postbit_legacy template is like what we use here, where the member info sits on the left side of the postbit.

postbit template is like the one you see on www.vbulletin.com/forum, where the userinfo is above the message body.

Make sure you added the html to the right template, also where exactly did you place this line of code?

<if condition="$post['userid']"><div>Trader Rating: (<a href="traderratings.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$post[ratetradetotal]</a>)</div></if>

I am using the default template. . I have changed nothing on it except colors and the footer..

It is the second if condition from the top<if condition="$post['userid']"><div>Trader Rating: (<a href="traderratings.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$post[ratetradetotal]</a>)</div></if>
