Just want to make sure that I have this right. The "detailed comment minimum characters" field corresponds with the "Additional comments field". Is this correct?

If so, then I'm having the following problem:

I have it set to "0" to disable it, but I am still getting a message that I must have a minimum of 10 characters in my post...

If not, then sorry to have bugged you :)

Thanks

Will you be adding something so one can pick the For Sale forums by id and then have the user shown a dropdown choice of buy/sell/tradewhen creating the thread? This attribute would then be displayed on the forumdisplay so users know what type of ad it is before clicking in. Also this attribute can later be used to verify the seller/buyer role perhaps?

Upgraded to 2.01a! :)

Fantastic - just one request - is it possible to have a "user must have been registered for X days" option to stop people signing up with multiple accounts in a short space of time just to boost ratings?

Yeap! I am running non-english forum, where dots are automatically replaced with commas. So:

is fine for MySQL serwer, but
(comma!)
means for MySQL server, that we try to send command "0" to a server, which ends up in an error :)

Upgrage from 2.0.0 to 2.0.1 went smooooothly :)

Good job! :up:

Jason, in your template info.html you mention:
I am assuming (yeah I know :)) that this would be a conditional that would check their percentages and adjust the images accordingly. Am I off-base on this one?

Spinball - It is coded so any group set to "iTrader Admin" will receive the emails. You can customize this quite easily by editing the functions_itrader.php file and changing the function itrader_email_admins. Just edit the WHERE clause in the query to your liking. That function is used to report suspicious activity & negative comments. The "report rating" page uses it's own chunk of code in its file, so if you want that changed too you will need to edit that file. In the next version I'll try to code it all to use that one function for simplicity.

mrderanged - Yes, that vB option controls the detailed comment length. If you customized any templates, you will need to revert them because of code changes. That's probably why it's not working.

mvigod - No, sorry, but I am not integrating anything into the thread/post tables or templates. I'm trying to keep this as separate as possible from the stock vB stuff. As mentioned before, this is meant to be very flexible and coding things like that would in effect limit how listings are posted, and also how the system can be used.

bennFF - That can (and should) be done using usergroups & auto-promotions.

zlos - That bug should have been fixed in 2.0.1, are you still experiencing it after upgrading?

zendiver - Yes, easiest thing would be to use some nested conditionals in your templates.

One little glitch has been discovered that might affect your iTrader system from always showing as closed. There a few other changes / suggestions that have been made so I will try to release another update within the next couple days. (Today I have to go do my Christmas shopping!)

In the interm, if you are experiencing the problem described above, please PM me and I will explain a quick-fix.

Thanks Jason, I'm looking forward to the update - great job on this mod by the way, I'm VERY impressed!

That did it. Thanks!!!

Is it possible to edit who can view the detailed comments, say on a usergroup basis?

For example a usergroup permission "can view detailed comments"

just wondering

mrderanged - Yes, you could add another setting in the itrader usergoup, all you have to do is modify the XML file, then rebuild your usergroup permissions, then add in permission checks at the various places.

is there a way to get the search member option like in the older hack? or how bout a list of positive feed backs?

What permissions do I need to change after the upgrade from 3.0.7 to 3.5? I found the one to allow view and ratings (Usergroup Manager, near the top), but my test user still can't view my own rating.

Any ideas?

Agreed. I have it installed, but I'm not able to use it at all. :(

there are many places throughout this thread showing the codes to use and where to put them

Folks,

Does has anyone put together a rating dispute policy that they would care to share?

Thanks.

Nevermind, I figured out what I was doing wrong.

hi guys i installed this tonight and all my old Trader Rating data migrated over perfectly!

just one question, i want the menu link to go to the Top traders list, not just your own feedback.

the existing code in my navbar template is;

<a href="itrader.php?$session[sessionurl]">Trader Rating</a>

what should i change it to?

Also can anyone recommend a good way to add this to peoples profile pages?

I too would rather see the Top Trader list instead of my own profile. This would help others see exactly what is going on constantly instead of having to check out each member. Jason, is this possible?

Thanks and Merry Christmas all.

There currently is no top trader list with this release. Hopefully the next one :)

Hi seems easy so far on istall. I think I have it on our new forums www.drywallzone.com
I placed a link on bottom for access to ratings area. How do you place a feedback?
I can not find it. I looked in the forum replies and threads. Is there some other code I need to place somewhere.

I would love to see a landing page with this. It is such a valuable tool it would be nice to have a little portal with it or something to view more ratings at one time, more statistics. You know, if someone has a few hundred hours of free time and absolutely nothing to do but codecodecode, right? ;)

Many? I saw maybe a couple. Pardon me if I don't understand by looking at the code what it's supposed to look like. I didn't think a bit more explanation for someone who isn't a coder was too much to ask considering other people have requested the same thing I did, since Jason also admitted the documentation was lacking, and especially since I took the initiative to donate money. I'm not asking for a hand-out. I think it's a superb hack, and as such it should be well documented. The first hack description post should be updated so someone new to the hack doesn't have to look through 185+ posts just to figure out how to put working links on their board. Much of the 185 posts are troubleshooting other problems as well, so the specific fix I'm looking for isn't exactly easy to find. That's great that you know how to do this already, and even better that you think it's easy. If I was a pro at this, I wouldn't have been asking in the first place. I'm sure other amatuer hack installers would appreciate documentation in order to avoid the risk of breaking something else in the process. Also, it's not like I'll be the last one to ask if the documentation never gets updated.

Here's a good example of what I'm talking about with another mod. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=65198

What do you need help with?

Awesome I will install this as soon as possible

installed and all workign so far

is there a possibility for a reent feedback given screen in the admin cp?

Thanks for this :D

hey, easy there big fella, i was just pointing out a fact in response to your post, if you dont want to search thru the posts to figure it out so you can use the hack thats up to you, I never said it was easy, I'm no coder or anything either, I read through and figured it out

Where did I ever say I didn't want to? I did search through every post in this thread. There were two instances (not many as you stated) citing examples to use that were not very clear, one of which put the results on the memberlist. A hack of this caliber should be well documented in the description area considering the majority of hacks released do so.

This hack was easy as pie to install... Installed.

Yes, the install was easy. No doubt. Where do you put the links though? Something other than "get creative" with them as the documentation stated.

It's not like this has to be anything difficult either, which is why I really don't understand why it hasn't been done.

In the MEMBERINFO template:

Find:

replace with:

I'd say 100% of the hacks I've installed had something along those lines. iTrader is by far a premier hack, and can't provide something that simple??? https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2005/12/2.gif

I offered to help you but it looks like you would rather just complain about the lack of documentation.
Maybe give that a rest and just post what you are wanting to do so you can get some help. :)

Was that you that IM'd me offering to help install it? I have it installed. I just need help with what templates should be modified for the links to show up. Basically just like my example above.

No I didn't IM you but if you like you can just post where you want the links and I will write it up for you.

Like your board under the user's post count would be fine with me.

It looks like Strict URL Checking will not function if you have vBSEO installed.

Ncturnal,

I'm just getting ready to put in iTrader and will be putting vbSEO in. Any further info on this. Is it a problem?

thanks
