Does the latest version (1.2.0) contain the ability to limit access by usergroup(s)?

I could not find this important information anywhere in the posts..may be I overlooked. Can someone please tell me?

By default if a user has generic posting permissions, then they can use the Trader Ratings system.

However if you want to limit it even further, you can simply add conditional statements in your templates (with the is_member_of() function). Also you can add the same code to the traderratings.php file to make it 100% complete, but usually just editing the templates is enough so that only certain user groups can view / rate people.

finaly got this working

originaly had vbtrader on my vb2 board
upgraded to vb3 and ran into some problems with duplicate fields/tables with this installer (not upgrader)
dropped the conflicting db stuff and got it to work on one style but even after running the installer on multiple styles it still didnt add them
installed the templates manualy from the installer and

it's not working great!

thx for a fantastic script, looking forward to the complete classified system

I don't want to have to read through all the pages, so maybe someone can answer for me. Can I manually set someone's feedback number? We have a manual system now and I'd like to implement this, but it would be nice for people to be able to keep their current numbers. Follow what I'm saying?

To answer your question, no you can't. The system recalculates out their score each time a ratings is added.

You *could* in theory generate a bunch of old ratings (using some sort of script would probably be the easiest), but you would run into the problem of not having them by a unique user.

Awesome mod, however, everytime someone tries to read a rating, they get this message:

The Trader Ratings system is currently down for maintainence, but will be back up as soon as possible.

How can that be fixed?

Tks,
Tim

A couple of questions.

1. Edited to say: Found the answer to my own question. :)

2. Is it possible to set submitted ratings to be moderated for approval?

3. How can I fix the "You are responsible for your own words" screen that is extended beyond the screen requiring vertical scrolling to view it completely? See attachment.

Fabulous hack! Thanks!

Something else. In a member's profile where it shows their location when logged in it shows:
Unknown Location /discussions/traderratings.php? @ 09:32 PM

Can we correct this to say Viewing Trader Ratings or something?

And another something else. Is it possible for members to opt out of receiving a PM for every rating someone leaves them?

tteal - Did you do an upgrade or new install?

Cyn - No, there is no mod approval in this system, and I doubt there will be in the future. Most people watch their ratings like a hawk and if something isn't right I always get a PM about it. ;)

As for the text, it's all just in the template (I think that might actually be a phrase). However you can just adjust the table structure to stack one on top of the other instead of side-by-side.

As for the unknown location, you can modify your online.php file (I think it is that one) and add a custom location for that file (I believe there are 2 places). I don't like hacking separate files which is why I didn't include it (since it's not really a big deal). However if you really want just do a search as I'm sure you can follow some similar instructions for editing that file.

Thanks for the prompt response. Our members think this feature rocks! :)
