This hack is the only reason I'm not upgrading right now. I can't wait till the new version!

-Michael

w00t!!! I need this hack!!! My forum wont live without it.

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?

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

ahh ok thanks for that! but if i upgraded to 3.5 and installed this once the compatible version comes out, will all the info appear once it gets reinstalled later on?

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

thanks so much Gavin, i suspected that (seeing as the database tables would survive the upgrade) but thank you for confirming it for me :)

I'm running it here on 3.5.

Was ported up manually tho

any update on this Jason?

Yeah, I am eagerly awaiting this hack for 3.5.

I have it on my site

BUT I am having a hard time for it to show in the memeber info.

would somone send me a screen shot to show me where you put this at in your member info templated please?

thanks

How? :)

Both releases for 3.5 should be out this coming weekend, trying to iron out some bugs and misc things. I'm also having to make two separate installers: one for people upgrading from 3.0.x and one as a new install.

Sounds good man! I can't wait and neither can my members! :)

*Rubs his hands together mythotically**Blisters hands from too much friction*
OUCH!!!!!

This is great! The anticipation is like waiting for GOLD to be released all over!!

*Realizes he really has NO LIFE to find excitement in this*

Looking forward to it :)

Cant wait!!!

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.

*crys to sleep*

Looking forward to it.

Hi,

I'm tring to intsall this hack, but I get this error. Can anyone advice me on what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks

Thanks for the update! :)

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

Anyone help me ? :disappointed:

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?

I'm putting it on 3.5.0 & I got that error the first time I tried to install it. What can I do now ?

This version will not work for 3.5.0, it's only for 3.0.6

Doh ! :o

Great update Jason :D

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).

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

Can someone tell me how I can display the Trader Rating button for registered members or logged on members and not for people just browsing the site and not logged in? Also what is the code and where do I place it..

Ok I have the trader ratings working so far but I want to get the is_member_of working and for the life if me I cant get it in the correct place without getting an error.

I have tried placing it in both postbit & postbit_legacy but I get an error listed below as discribed is what im trying to use. I can get the forum id code working but not the is_member_of ? Now can someone explain to me if I dont have the is_member_of code in there who can use the trader ratings feature by default?

This is what was in the templates.txt file but I cant get it to work

- Combining the two together:

<if condition="is_member_of($post, 11) && in_array($thread[forumid],array(200,201))">
(trader ratings row)
</if>

I cant believe no one has responded to this? Can someone please help?

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.

Can some one please answer this

Navbar--wherever you want it.
Just put whatever conditional you want around it.

Can you tell me how to add the condition and where to put it I am totally clueless sorry.
Basically I have it in my navbar but it shows the link to everyone and I just want it to be visable to only certain groups or anyone logged in

quick question, the Display ratings over time isn't updating. When you add a new buyer feedback, or what ever.......the membersinfo isn't updating next to his user name.

I have a user tp_cobra_95 that has 3 sells and 1 buy and next to his name, it only show's 2.

is there something i missed or something i need to change in order for the system to update?

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?
