Thanks, and yes the button will help. For now I will just add that.

what about v2/0?
"somebody" promised to make it:)

There will be a v2.0, which will contain some new features, bug fixes, and various changes... However it will probably be the last one since I'm focusing more on a "heavier-duty" solution for the whole FS/WTB thing...

Sweet. I'm looking forward to it! Thanks, Jason!

Can't wait for V2.0! What do you plan for the "heavy duty" thing?

Hi,
Great hack.

Could someone tell me where I can change the words "Trader Rating" in the post bit.
For the life of me I can't find it!

cheers.

2. Execute the following SQL Queries (Can be done in PHPMyAdmin):
-----------------------------------------------------------------

CREATE TABLE user_rate_trade (
userrateid INT(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
rateduser INT(10) unsigned DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
userid INT(10) unsigned DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
userrating SMALLINT(6) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
userbuysell TINYINT(1) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
userdate DATE DEFAULT '0000-00-00' NOT NULL,
usercomments VARCHAR(80) NOT NULL,
userurl VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (userrateid),
KEY rateduser (userid)
);

ALTER TABLE user ADD ratetradetotal SMALLINT(5) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL;

does that mean i have to get telnet software connected to my database and key in all the commands (or simply copy and paste?) i tried copy and paste, but endless errors show up and my database screwed...please...teach me how to get your hack installed in my site...thanx

run PHPMyAdmin then select your vB database then select SQL
now paste the code below but do not include the ending semi colon ; from the code above
now click go and the PHPMyAdmin will run the commands and create the table.
now do the same with the second query

thank you stu...
but what is phpmyadmin? a program i have to download?
seriously, i am learning everything from scratch now...
please help, thanks!

phpmyadmin is a "visualizer" for your MySQL database. It allows you to navigate the database in a Graphical User Interface and run queries, insert things, etc., all without having to do things in command-line format.

The ISP that hosts your forum should be able to set this up for you. There's also a hack here that allows you to run simple queries from the vBulletin ACP I think. Although, I've never used it.

Hope this info helps.
