Sorry guys, yesterday was a complete bust. I had to do some emergency home repairs, and my back is still aching today like a son of a gun from having to crawl around the attic.

Anyhow, yes there are a few minor bugs that were discovered which I need to fix this morning, then I should be able to get the release out this afternoon.

To answer a previous question, yes there is an upgrade script from 1.2.0 (3.0.x) to 2.0.0 (3.5.x). Basically you do a regular install of iTrader, then run the upgrade script. It imports / converts all existing data, and optionally can attempt to auto-link all existing deals, delete old phrases & templates, and lastly delete the old table & fields.

My suggestion is if you are upgrading to run the script up to the point of removing the phrases & templates, but leave the old table data until you are 100% sure you new data is correct.

I think when everyones done telling Jason how great he is...

We should acknowledge that Jason has done a horrible job supporting this product that is listed as a major addition.

When a developer chooses to develop a product and string people along with phony release dates its called overcommitting and under delivering.

As forum owners, I am sure many of you have quite a few angry forum members waiting and waiting for this hack. I stopped giving dates out about 2 weeks ago and I am glad I did. We were met with many reasons for this hack not being put out the last 4 times he promised to deliver but the bottom line is it never came out.

If you are going to have a hack under major additions on this board, I think there should be some committment to act responsibly and set a realistic release date and not dangle carrots in front of everyone here day after day like bugs bunny teasing us.

Even when you release a hack for nothing out of the kindness of your heart, this still stinks. From reading this string, I and many other would pay for this and other hacks if they were released in a timely fashion.

Well, I am not the most patient person in the world, but I know what it's like when things don't go according to plan. I can wait a few days while Jason works things out on his end. I don't see any reason to criticize -- the mod will be done when it's done. I haven't even told anyone on my forum about the new feature because I realize that nothing is ever set in stone.

no, just your post and attitude stink, go away, thanks for the update Jason, sorry about the back

I agree with that :D

Hes done great work.... and I appreciate the update - I have just told the members of my forum it will return too and when they moan i just say unlucky it will be back as soon as possible and please be patient!

Did anyone told you to upgrade to 3.5 without this mod being finished ?

Maybe you ought to your members to act more clever and don't procced with the upgrades until you are absolutely sure that everything works fine and so they will be happy. The fault my friend is all yours and your way to blaim Jason is pathetic and shows that you are just ungrateful.

You have no right to complain.
You want a Trader Rating system finished on your time table...go hire a coder and pay to have it done to your expectations.

Agreed. He has no obligation to complete and furnish this to us at all. If he wanted to turn his back he could walk and guess what.. You would be SOL.. Be happy that he is taking the time (no matter how long that might be) to give it the community FREE I might add.. becuase you know what? If he decided to charge how many would pay for it? EVERYONE would becuase everyone wants it... So hush and be patient..

Considering I provide this for free, I don't think you have any room to complain. If you needed something like this so bad, you can always pay a professional developer or do it yourself. This entire site is made up of users being nice to others sharing their work for free, they are not commercial products, nobody charges for their use.

I am not just some monkey locked in a closet that codes 24/7. I do have a job, and run several websites, and try to have somewhat of a life on top of all the work.

If you do not like it, then don't use it. Simple as that...

I upgraded to 3.5 and lost the ability to use the TR, but I am not complaining! I'm just glad that it will be an option again in the future.
