Okay, I think I can confidently say that by Monday I will have the 3.5.x version released.

I should be able to finish coding it tomorrow (Friday), then I can put it on my own forum to have them test it out and fix any last minute bugs / typos. I've already got a full weekend of holiday festivities that I can not get out of, so mid-moday should be go-day.

I had to break the code out into a few different files, it was starting to become too much to try and manage within a single file. A lot more code than the vB 3.0.0 version.

Excellent news... I saved all the SQL from the old 3.0.x version instead of deleting it when I upgraded, we'll be able to upgrade and use the existing old data correct?

great news Jason, thank you for your hard work and time

Well I'm kind of stuck at the moment and I don't know what the heck is causing this problem.

When you enter a comment via the wysiwyg editor box, and there's an error, when the page is re-created it doesn't fill in the text like it should. If you use the enhanced editor or plain text box it works fine (fills in the text you submitted)... very frustrating. I swear I've peeled over all the code and I can not find out the cause. I know it has to be something simple I'm overlooking.

well, if that is the only thing holding it up, I think I can speak for the rest of us that we wouldn't mind having that feature disabled in order to get a release, then you can work on it and do an update.

what do you think?

There is still a lot more work that *just* that, however it is just one serious issue that is mystifying me....

At first I used the code for the quick reply box and it worked fine, however that template doesn't allow for passing back the text to re-edit, so I had to switch to the full size editor box which does have it. But something is wrong because any info you submit via the wysiwyg box does not actually get submitted, so it's got to be some missing javascript or something I would presume.

EDIT - Oh sweet jesus finally fixed it! Not 100% sure what the issue was, made several template changes at once and now it works... hehe... woohoo! Back to working on error validation....

EDIT AGAIN - Spoke too soon... it's not working again... *grumble*

EDIT AGAIN - Fixed, I hope.... I think it was related to having to run the word length check on submit. Otherwise the text which is sitting in some javascript variable doesn't get passed back to be submitted...

I know how frustrating that can be. Thanks for your hard work. Trader Ratings is a truly remarkable add-on, hack, or whatever you want to call it. :)

So shall we wait for a 3.5.0 update by Monday mate ?:)

Thnx for the hard work

We are waiting for 3.5 compatible version :o

Monday Morning Update

I decided to go ahead and implement dedicated iTrader "usergroup" permissions. Right now there are only 3: "can view", "can rate", and "can admin". It was getting to the point of just plain dumb trying to use generic usergroup permissions based on forum things, so I figured this would be the smarter route since a lot of people only have certain user groups they allow to rate with this system.

So here's what's left to do:

• finishing changing out all the permission code & make sure everything is correct
• finish up comment editing code and some display stuff on the comment page
• finish coding the "rating link" page and make sure all checks are correct.
• add in the last couple vB CP option checks (real quick)
• move some bits of text in templates to phrases
• double check all phrases / templates / everything else is listed under the "iTrader" product.
• compile all the files together, write some quick documentation, and get them posted online!

Editing comments would be a lot nicer with ajax, however that's definitly going to have to wait until the next release since I don't have a clue where to start for that and it's not *that* critical.

So, hopefully sometime this afternoon / evening I should be finished. (Finally!) It's all getting down to the "little things" and ironing out the little bugs.
