Tried it your way and it worked GREAT! Thanks again man. I just have one issue left. It runs fine and I can access my own itrader account now when I click on the nav link.

But how will I be able to go to other member's itrader accounts. On other websites, I've seen them do a post count style under the avatar picture. (the more feedback/transactions the higher the number), well you can click on that and then add feedback to their account. Because right now all I can access is my own account.

I checked out the readme files with the templates and couldn't find anything on this. Would you or someone else be able to help me out here? Is there a certain html script I need to add to a template? Any help is greatly appreciated.

It's in the Template Info.html file. Add that block of code to whichever postbit template your using.

great thanks again. I added it to my post bit template to show up on each individual's post (what I wanted). The code worked great, everything is working 100%. Thanks again for the assistance.

Anybody?

Well ive also got the

"The iTrader system is currently closed."

error message on 3.8.0 RC2. I tryed the tip in the first post with editing the plugin setting (2.0.1 to 2.1.0) but it doesn't help.

So what can I do to run it under 3.8? Maybe anyone can give me the old 2.0.1 version for trying this one (i dont have them any longer forgot XML backup :S )

Did you try this: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1555118

I thought i do, but i dont know how you mean:
I changed it by going into edit and changed the version numer to 2.1.0 there. like in the screenshot, but it doesnt worked. How else can i change the version number?

You changed the Product Info? That won't do anything other then change, well, the product info. That would have said 2.1.0 anyway.

I though you had said you followed the steps from this post: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....93&postcount=9

It worked thanks. Strange I just readed this post but dont found the solution. :X

What if clause do I have to enter to only have the iTrader ratings show up if the user in question has already received ratings?

I used this hack and it works great!! Thanks Mark!! :up:
*installed*

Also, I can't figure out how to add it as sortable on the memberlist...

There's no way for either at the moment.

Wouldn't the first one just be if (<whatever the itrader ratings variable is> !=<something signifying emptyness>) or something like that?

Can anyone send me the "itrader_upgrade.php" file? It is NOT included with the zip file attached to the author's post. Thanks.

Here we go.

That will make it so that the iTrader rating will not show up if the total rating does not exist (or is neutral, but for most cases, negative ratings will lead to questioning...). I dunno, I think it's useful.

The upgrade.php file was for people upgrading from 1.2.0 on vB 3.0, to vB 3.5. Is that what your doing?

Guess it didn't hurt to try it out. :)

I was running Trader Ratings 1.2.0 on Vb 3.0.8 and am now running iTrader 2.1.0 on Vb 3.7.4. Everything works, but I need to import the original tables and such so people get their ratings back.

Does this work pretty fluidly with 3.8 RC2? I really like the hack, but hope to avoid any pitfalls some have had problems with while installing it in 3.8.

Obviously it's missing something integral for 3.7, so who knows if it works for 3.8.

Yeah... I seen this was a interm release.. but came out back in june... so I wonder if the developer is still working this.

I PM'd him on his own forum as well since I've been a member there for five years, No response here or there. It's a pretty simple request, the upgrade file is missing from the zip package.

That is the only issue? If you get that.. HOOK ME UP! :D

Yeah, everything works so far. But, I was running his 1.2.0 version and need to import the data into 2.1.0. My members are screaming for their ratings back.

I have read this thread in its entirety, as well as other threads related to iTrader I've been unable to install iTrader in my forum for far too long. My members really need this feedback system.

To be up front so there isn't any guessing......for iTrader I'm a novice.

Here is my first question:

As I look at my outline on my server (My husband and I own the server....so I have complete access)......the outline supplies the file for XML.

There is not a folder or file that says:

./includes/xml/plugins.xml

As you know the above file name is in the........Import Plugin Definitions XML File.....located under Plugins and Products in the Admin CP.

First question.....

1. Do I need to make a folder, on my server with the below file name in my XML File section so there is a matching connection from the Admin CP to the server for this plugin?

(In other words should there be a file name created like this one below in my XML section.)

./includes/xml/plugins.xml.



I have several questions but will start with this one first as it seems to be an issue relative to the beginning process.

I would appreciate any support and help anyone is willing to share.

No the XML you are looking for is in the ZIP file download. You upload the file in the "Product XML" folder.

Oh thank you very much for your clarification!!!

No problem... if you have issue... just let me know.

So is this major mod no longer supported?

Guess not... eoc_jason was on today, but no post in here. It may just be that he is to busy to finish it... who knows.

There is no "finishing" it, it's a simple request for a missing file from the zip. If he doesn't wanna cooperate, then someone on here out of the 1600 who downloaded it has it and can send it to me.

I've had many issues and would appreciate any help I can get, thank you!

After reviewing this thread I found a reference on post #68 that suggests by using the download mentioned one could avoid doing editing and making manual template changes.

This seemed like a dream to me.........is there any feedback as to the use of this tool or is it better to edit the templates manually?

No one here may have it. Those 1600 downloaded the same file you did?!?!

I used that xml. You import it just like you do the product xml from the itrader zip. It inserts the template edits for you.

Oh this is such good news! :) Thank you for the instructions too!!!:up:

No problem... I think I ran into each and every issue last night... so I got plenty of info now! :D

I'd assume it'd be the same zip file attached to the initial post. The author claims there's an upgrade.php file included, but the file attached currently doesn't have it.

Jason updated the product, not the install documentation. As it said, this was interim release to hold us over until he did the final version with standardized install/upgrade instructions implied (upload files, import product). The docs haven't been updated yet. That's all old info from the old products whom most, if not all of us, have long since deleted. I mean, we're talking years ago here. Instances of a mod needing to be updated from the vB 3.0 series is a rarity.

Even as an interim, it's supposed to tie into the old DB tables utilized by his original release, Trader Ratings, right? That's how I understand his post.

Everything has been installed and works per the interim release, all I need is the php file that ties the DB tables together to recover my member's ratings

Since he's non-responsive or even has the common courtesy to at least tell me he's busy or whatever the case may be, I'm trying to get some resolve on recovering the ratings from his product..

Well, I'm not arguing what needs to be done nor would I know how to, I'm just explaining why no one has the file you need. As to why Jason hasn't responded to you, bear in mind the mod is ticked as Not Supported.
