BladeUK - I replied to your PM with the (hopefully) info you need to correct it.

horrordvds.com - Like I said before, it's based on unique members. In a way, you have to think of the logic behind it. Seeing that 20 different people bought/sold something from a person IMO is a little more comforting to know that one person bought/sold 20 things from a person. The Rating is just the score displayed in the thread view. On the user's trader rating page it displays the total amount of positive feedback received. If you feel the need to make it non-unique, you can easily edit the PHP script to do so, however I'm not planning on making any changes/options in my code.

therczone - Yes, I always knew about how it displayed that info incorrectly in the "who's online", and there are numerous posts on how to alieviate the issue for any custom file (like you posted). I might add an additional text file for people who want to make this change, however I see it as non-essential. If you notice, the rest of the hack doesn't require editing any vBulletin files (this was intentional) so that upgrading from one version to the next (for both vB & TR) would be quick and painless. ;)

First off have to say what a great hack this is! It installed very easily and on my default style is working perfectly. I have 2 styles and made all the same template changes I made to my default to my second template. Each user now has the Trader Rating link with their feedback amount. But if you click on the link to leave them feedback it takes them to a blank page. This is only on the second non-default style.

I tried searching through this thread to find a answer but did not find exactly what I was looking for in relation to my issue.

Thanks in advance!

This is such a great addition to my board. Thanks!

Very nice and thank you! Would like to second the link validation in future releases.

Very Useful !!!

This is a template inheritence issue. You need to have all the trader rating templates at the highest level of your styles so that they can be used by all the lower custom styles.

right now im using 1.1.0 and its really doing all i want it to, the other new things i really have no use for and i hate to mess with something thats working

so

the oen thing i do want is the notification when someone leaves u feedback, is there anyway to install just that into 1.1.0? i can do it manually if u can tell me what to add

thanks

The change from 1.1.0 to 1.2.0 includes more than just new features. It also have various bug fixes that can be somewhat critical under various circumstances. Not to mention that if you do not upgrade properly then there is no guarantee that you will be able to upgrade to future versions correctly.

The upgrade to 1.2.0 is very quick and painless. It does not modify any existing TR templates (if that is what you are concerned about).

ok i upgraded, i wasnt worried about it loosing data i know that never happens (usually anyway), i just didnt want it to stop working so well, one thing i love about this hack is even when i upgrade vb3, the hack doesnt have to be reinstalled, (least in 1.1, we shall see for the new one

one thing, i had hoped this problem for me would have been fixed in 1.2 but its still not working, might be a conflict of another hack im not sure but anyways

the "trader rating: (3)" shows up in legacy but not in vb3 default (the new style postbit)

i have a template hack that allows users to pick in the CP whether they want legacy or vb3 default, could that be causing the problem?

i got the right code in both postbit styles, but just doesnt show up sadly, any ideas?

There's no reason it shouldn't work for both template styles (I've used them on both). As long as your code is in both templates and at the right style level, it should work. (I don't know how many custom style's you use, if any, however that seems to be most peoples problem is they have the templates only for one custom styleid...)
