Why does the script URL link have two /forums in it?

I think I've got some bits of code I need to track down, the problem seems to occur when there is action=showpost in the query string...

Well, if there was a way to make "URL" mandatory, that would be nice. To have a forum to post the agreement, then when the transaction is completed, make them post the URL to that thread or it won't go through. If you use the "check database for dupe IPs" and screen your users, then this may be perfect.

Yes, a top x (feedback) page would be nice. That would get people moving (buying, selling, trading).

Great hack!

I have one question. Is there any way to limit the possibility to leave the feedback to a specific usergroup?

On my site, I have registered vendors that sell their products and I want only them to be rated.

Thanks!

1. option to make URL mandatory
2. A limit to how many times an URL and be entered (one for seller, one for buyer).
3. Ability to add (Positive, Neutral, Negative) on Postbits.

Hi eoc_Jason!

I'd love to install this hack because we recently had some problems with "black sheeps" in out marketplace forum.

But I actually think, that this hack cannot work without some kind of verification system that determines, whether two users are allowed to vote for each other, or not.


My suggestion to easily achieve this is:
Two users have agreed to do some trading in a thread. Now, they can open a "rating ticket". Only if both users accept this voting ticket, they know that the other person is seriously interested in this trade! (So, if one doesn't answer yout ticket request, you don't send the item, or you don't pay until he accepted the ticket).
A ticket can be opened by every user ... but only if a ticket has been accepted by two users, these two users can actually vote for each other.
If there's no ticket, no (fun-)voting can be done.

Technically, we woult require another mysql-table with 4 fields: 'user1', 'user2', 'confirmed', 'finished'. When opening a ticket, user 1 writes his username and the name of the other user into a form, which eventually creates a new line in the mysql-table, containing the id's of both users.
Now, user 2 has to accept this ticket by pressing some button and thus setting 'confirmed' to yes.
If users want to rate each other, a query needs to be performed in order to check if there is a valid (i.e. 'confirmed') ticket available.
After the voting is done, 'finished' is set to 'yes' and the ticket is invalid now.



Something like that. :)
How do you think about this? :bunny:

This will definately be Hack of the Year :)

Hmm... So many new features, and so many changes, I think I might have to re-write this one from the ground up (but make it backwards compatible with existing data), to allow for all the new features you guys want and allow all the options to be user-set in the AdminCP (since I know some people will want certain ones whereas others wont).

Sorry it took me a while to reply, I was unable to access vB.org for a couple days (anyone else have that problem?). Also I've been very ill lately so I've mostly just been resting.

Once I recover to a state where I'm semi-aware of whats going on around me and I can sit down and take a look at all the feature requests and what will be necessary to meet these requests I will post with more info.

IF you want to use my website as a testing basis your more then welcome. The website is quite large and if it works on a site this big then it will work anywhere. I saw your name registered, glad to have yeah on board eoc Jason.

Let me know

I'm already looking forward to this! :)
Hope you'll find my "voting-ticket-system" worth to be applied.
I think this would in fact solve the missing security issues in this absolutely gread hack. :bandit:
