Okay, I just posted v1.1 and in the zip there are new user install instructions, as well as upgrade from v1.0 instructions.

If you are upgrading it should only take a couple minutes of your time. You only have to run 1 SQL query, edit 1 file, and do a little template editing.

New Features:
- You can set the colors & style for the pos/neu/neg bar on the profile page.
- Pagination (can be fixed or set to user default page length)
- Other variables can be set at the top of the usertrade.php file (like date formatting, who can delete ratings and such)
- Profile page has a URL bar added so people can enter in the URL of the deal (it's not a required field), if they do then their comment text becomes hyperlinked, also I cleaned up the formatting a bit and things lined up.
- Removed a couple of custom templates that really wern't needed. (and thus you can delete)

I think that is it for now. I haven't had time to work on the email notification yet, I need to dig up that function or find out how vB does it so that it can mesh in.

You don't have to upgrade from v1.0 if you don't want to, there are no bugs that I know of that could break anything. You are only gaining new features with this release. :)

Gonna do anything with the FAQ?? I've got the link on the site but no FAQ for my members to read..

Wow this is amazing - i love these features you have added and you never know if i have any time free before my exams are over you may be the first person to get an install click from me in months ;)

drumsy - Oops... I just made up my own FAQ for my site explaining about how it works, I didn't think anyone would really be interested in it, I forgot to remove that link before uploading.

Well, in anycase, I just updated the code and am going to upload it now. I named it v1.11, however the only changes are step 19 & 20 (Changing Templates "faq" & "faq2").

Mist - Man.... after all that work with pagination!!! I thought you would install it just for that feature along! LOL! ;)


Has anyone had any problems upgrading from v1.0? I think I made the upgrade instructions pretty clear, but I just wanted to make sure I didn't leave a step out.

No problems upgrading but I still don't see the FAQ upgrade! :)

It's in the new file. Look at the very bottom of the install_v1.11.txt file, #19 & #20 are the two steps required to add it into your FAQ, then the link on the profile page will work.

Ack... I tried posting the code here, but it replaced all the things with the { }'s...

KICK ASS!!!

This hack is awesome!!!

Works like a charm!!

some questions and suggestions:
1. can you tell me, if some user has the rating "0" and someone gives 2 him negative comment, then user will have "-1" rating or?
2. it will be good to set up in admin panel, how offen one user can comment another.
3. can you make the top of most positive and most negative users?
thx.

ExcErr -

1. Yes, a user can (and would in your scenario) have a negative rating if they go below zero.

2. I'm not really sure you would want to restrict it, because I currently have users who are filling out all their trades which include multiple deals with one person. I don't think it makes much sense to say that you could only rate a person once a week or so. If you find a person abusing the system, is that really a person you want on your forum?

I could however add in an admin option to prevent a person from rating other people... that would make more sense than limiting how often they can rate other people.

3. That's a good idea, to expand on it a little more, how about if I make it so you can click on any heading to sort on that column in the popup window? That way you could do name, date, etc... Currently there is no sorting, it just lists them as they were entered in the DB... (So I guess you could say it is by date). But that is also why I color-coded it, so you can pick out the negative feedback easier.. ;)

Jason - well i'm trying to fix some problems i'm having on my forums right now with the awards hack and editing of threads so until they are sorted and my exams are over its a negative :(
