I don't understand the need / requirement for this... Some of these suggestions are getting way beyond the simple scope of my original hack (which read the first post to understand why I created it). If you are looking for something with a much more powerful system, I suggest you look into either vBay, or vBTrader.

Yeah, it does have a lot of possibilities. My only suggestion is to make it more secure (making like to post mandatory, making it to a way that that link can be only used twice, etc.). It does seem a lot of people trying to re-create Ebay.

I think I found the solution to the random errors that were popping up saying user.ratetradetotal doesn't exist. If you change the SQL query in the showthread.php (step 3 in the install.txt file), instead of tacking on ",ratetradetotal" to one of the left joins, add the ",ratetradetotal" to the end of the SELECT line, and you *shouldn't* get any more errors...

This info will be corrected in the next version when I ge a chance to release it.

I'm getting this:

You are going to have to be more specific on what you doing... All I get out of that is functions.php gives an error on line 1, which doesn't tell diddley....

For some reason I cant get $post_usertraderatings to show up in the postbit. I have a skin I'm using....anyone know what I might try?

excellent hack...much thanks! i implemented it on my site at

Do you have any way for me to view all feedback ever left for all users? I don't mind a raw .php file by itself but just to browse while I'm perfecting how I want to use this? Thanks.

This is fantastic! Nice work, and a very easy install.

Most of my users are not very internet savvy and I would like to add a button to the bottom of each post by the pm, e-mail, www etc buttons for something like "leave feedback" then when they click that I would like it to take them to the users profile with the url of that thread already inserted into the url section of the feedback submittal.

If anyone could help me do that let me know. I just don't know how to get it to put the previous url in the feedback box, maybe it is not possible.

Never-the-less great hack!

Did you just want a "feedback" button? If so, will this one I'm attaching work for you?

I'm willing to help out on the graphics end of things if anyone needs it. Since this hack is still part of the user profile, it will essentially just go to the Profile page.

I heard Jason is going to rework this hack to make it a separate feedback page (not a pop-up style). So we may just want to wait for the new version.

In any event, I hope this graphic helps. Enjoy.
