Oops... Man I need to get more sleep... I just updated the .zip again... So now people upgrading from 1.1.0 -> 1.2.0 should go smooth.

Everyone else, just follow the step above, making sure it is "1.2.0" and NOT "v1.x.0"

eoc_Jason thanks alot for this feature :)
One question, how could I remove "Wall of Shame" ?

This is still the best hack I have used, Thanks very much (if I wasnt an unemployed bum I would donate) It just works so well for my music trading forums

You can remove it by editing the tratings_stats template. Look for the $vbphrase[tratings_wall_of_shame] area. Let's say you wanted to just comment it out so you have just the two other columns, you could do something like this:

Alternatively if you want it to appear automatically when the first negative rating is given, you can do the conditionals around that block instead of the comments...

like: <if condition="!$pginfo[bottom_rated]">....</if>

(I think that should work, but its not tested).

I got rid of it on mine because there's a single negative rating. I know it sounds silly, but for a guy that had one trade go bad, I didn't want to crucify him until he had company :)

worked like a charm, thanks !

thanks again eoc_Jason :)
BtW has Trader Ratings 1.2.0 been voted a HOTM yet?
If not it should be!

thanks

1.1.0 was submitted I think for two months... Didn't make #1 pick though...

Maybe this version will get a few more votes if it gets listed again.

Awesome Upgrade!

I suppose I missed something, but how do you make it so that a URL is required and not optional?

I added you to aim, I am having a lot of trouble installing it on my template :(

Please read the README.txt file that is included in the zip...

Specifically look under step 6 - TRATING_REQ_URL

Nice job, Jason! Such a nice hack that can do so much with so little modifications!

Jason can u add silversp00n101 on aim

When you do the install, it shows which template it will install to, if it is not the correct one, then you have to manually edit the file and set a fixed template number.

I don't use AIM much so please just post your problem here.

Jason

Can you add a update script?

I installed this hack, then removed it and tried vB Trader Lite.. and then removed that, looked at vbauctions.... and now I've decided on this hack for my forums.

Thanks for the great hack man. Let me know if I can help you in anyway in getting the auction portion of this hack going. I'm not the best at coding (I can install almost any hack and modify some hacks too, but I've never written one from scratch in php), but I'll beta test, or whatever else you need.

*clicks install*

Can you be a *little* more specific. There is already an update script in the .zip to go from 1.1.0 -> 1.2.0.....

any idea when the feature :

"button on thread that buyer/seller clicks to tie the transaction to two people"

will be added ?

I found a problem (or overlooked how to change this) - The trader ratings seems to work great except for custom usergroups that I have created. These usergroups are not being counted in the trader rating stats. Is there a place to add or change a variable?

You will have to elaborate Chris (or possibly show screenshots)...

Usergroups should not affect the functionality of the system.

The Trader Rating hack works great for each person. The Stats page, however, is not including a usergroup that I have created.

I have users with 15 or 16 Positive feedback rating however if I go to the stats page they are not included. All the normal usergroups that Vbulletin comes with are inlcluded in the Top/Recent Feedback stats. These members, in the custom usergroup with higher feedback, are not listed on the stats page. It just seems like the hack is checking all the feedback for all the usergroups when it gets the info on who to post.

I cant include a screenshot because the problem is people not being listed so I cant give a picture of something not seen :)

eoc_Jason: I've made a vBindex hack for this. Link is in my sig :)

Demo at www.kydsm.com

Yeah, that would be cool. Top Traders on non-VB page.

after removing the wall fo shame, it kinda looks plain.
Could their be something else added too it?

Try it out, dont forget to click install ;)

I don't use vbindex, so may need a code to add it to another non-VB page.

Usergroupid 10 is excluded from listings because that is the default banned usergroup. Maybe that is your problem?

Jason

You can really make any sort of info you want on the stats page, it's just a matter of writing the queries and modifying the templates...

OK i've searched this thread but can't seem to find the solution......

Basically there have been a couple of cases where the "Submit Feedback For xxxx" link has not come up in the trader ratings screen.

For example, others have been able to rate myself, but there is at least one user who cannot rate me (the link doesn't come up).

And just now another user reported the same error when trying to rate someone else.

ANy ideas?

The only permissions a user must have is the "CANPOSTNEW", and also a user can not rate them self. Other than that the link should appear unless you have added custom rules to the <if> statement.

Excellent mod thankyou :)

Thanks for that!

I had setup a new group and their permissions weren't set properly. That's why some users were affected and not others.

Great work...lovin this hack! :)

Great hack Jason, I have it working on my test board wonderfully. But on trying to install it to my functional board I got the following errors.

This I attempted to fix by search replacing all "user_rate_trade"'s in the php file with "vb3_user_rate_trade".

Then attempted to install again.
And received the following.
Which I then fixed by removing all the phrases that were added by the php file.

Then went to install a third time and received.

Any ideas?

My next approach is to change the "vb3_user_rate_trade" to something else again and change the "ratetradetotal" to something else as I can't actually remove the tables (no access).
Cheers

I am thinking about using this modification on my own forum. But I need to have something clear.

The screenshots attached in the first post, are very clear, they look like eBay, but does the system work with a unique feedback score?
I.E.
Person A. makes a trade with Person B. Because of a good trade, Person A. leave a feedback for Person B.
After 2 weeks Person A. and B. trade again. And after that trade they leave a feedback again.

Now my question;
Does every feedback counts to the total (I.E. Person A. (30)) or does the feedback-score only displays the UNIQUE trades, with UNIQUE people?

Hi all,

looking at some of the previous question's I'm a little embaressed to ask this (ultra obvious I imagine but here goes)

in the templates editing area of the readme it says

Could someone give me a quick idea where I should place the code in postbit/postbit_legacy/MEMBERINFO? Please help a newbie

thanks in advance, be gentle :surprised:

Gee. Thanks Dude! I really needed something like this for SellAdSpace.com! The installation was Really Easy!

Wonderful Hack. Thanks!

Forgot to add - *Clicks Install* :D

This is excellent and will save us much time. Thanks for the hard work and support! Super easy installation!

Something I'd like to see in the future if you continue to develop this is complete admincp integration where the admin can alter the numbers without having to manually create new entries. Having seen the code and the database, I don't imagine that this would be incredibly easy as the numbers come from counting individual entries, correct? I'm certainly not a programmer (though, it's fun to think I am lol), so I don't have a clue what goes into coding something like this. I do think that it might bypass the need for a full conversion script (assuming everyone is just running around with one long thread of feedback on their forum). 'K - I'll shut up. ;)

Thanks for the script!

Steph
