iTrader v2.8 - Powerful Rating System
 

Please nominate this mod for MOTM!

iTrader 2.8
Click here for a version for vBulletin 3


This modification offers you a rating system for trades which are made on your board. As it is an advantage of the rating system on ebay, this gives your users some secureness.

=================================
NOTICE ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

I added vBulletin 4 support for this modification because Nexus (vbenhancer) announced that he won't do this in the next time. He gave me the permissions to release it here. Thank you!

Please do not contact vbenhancer for support! He is not responsible for this version.

=================================

Installation
The installation is as easy as abc. You only have to upload the files and import the product in your vBulletin admincp.

Update
Also updating this modification (including this from vB3) isn't very difficult. Only overwrite all files and the product in your vBulletin admincp.

[PLANNED][NEW] Speed optimization for itrader main page (in big forums)

thank you this is great mod

What does exactly this mod do? Does it enable to sell something for the forum members?

@askeroglu:
Maybe you can take a look here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=230543

When you are running a market area on your board where users deal with goods, the users can rate each other for the trades and so on. It's like the rating system on ebay.

thank you for updating

thanks
good mod

Thank you!

Wird es eine deutsche ?bersetzung von dir geben?

Wo sind die Vorteile gegen?ber microCLASSIFIEDS (General Classifieds) au?er dem Bewertungssystem?

@Kolbi:

No, I am not translating this modification into German. It's a matter of time. :(

microCLASSIFIEDS and iTrader are two completely different mods:
With the one you can sell your products and iTrader just consists of the rating system. The deals with iTrader are made via pm or threads.

Can a previous translation be imported? Does a translation exists? :)

yes this may work, but I don't know if there is one. :o

Thank you for this!! Was waiting for it!

Clicked installed!!

I wont install this until its guaranteed to work because the known issues are the most important features of iTrader.

Tagged for future consideration.

This would be awesome if we could implement this to work with microClassifieds/Auction

Thanks for the update.

That could be great!

Could be a later feature. At the moment I am rewriting the URL check because of the new url structure(s!) of vB 4.

Perfect, thank you for updating this mod :)

I was not sure what the fate of iTrader was going to be when Nex said he was not going to update it for vb4. Nice to see you update it.
Tagged for when I upgrade.

Nex is doing the native vb4 version of iTrader v3 this year

thank you

Tag for later use :) thanks

Or with Microclassifieds.

really looking forward to the final version of this, I bought it about a month ago for v3.8 :(

thanks for picking this up!

MOGmartin

There is no german translation at moment for public. if entertein enter final status for the itrader i export our translation and give it to him.

Release Candidate 1:

The release candidate now includes a url check for each url type of vBulletin 4!

The functions were splitted into 2 php files to optimize the code:
- functions_itrader.php
- functions_itrader_urlcheck.php

Make sure that both files are uploaded.

Secondly, most of the templates are rewritten for vBulletin 4. A few of them still use the old table code, but it would be very very difficult to create them without any tables.

And at last I'd like to inform you about the profile tab:
I am not sure if this is my fault that it isn't working or it is a bug of vBulletin 4. I'll wait until 4.0.1 is released to continue fixing it.

a note about this release:

1- i'm the script owner, that does not mean you have to contact me for the support, contact @entertain for it, as this is HIS version. i gave him the ability to release this version of his because he was interested in the process, and as i'm not releasing this 2.5 version for vBulletin 4.0, his idea was a good alternative for the people willing to have this version quickly.

This version is not available on my site, you have to download it here, in this thread. this is a good thing, entertain will be able to provide you with his own support.

as messengermatt said earlier, on the official distribution of iTrader, we plan to release the 3.0 version of the script, compatible with vBulletin 3.8 AND 4.0... i will keep entertain informed of that development if he is interested to play with it... :)

good luck !

@vbenhancer:
yes I'd be very interested in playing with 3.0. :) Thanks!

Thanks alot, i've been waiting for this.

I just didn't expect it to be released that fast :)

Thanks guys. I've found one small problem.

Take a look at this image. This is the iTrader page for a member named Tricked on my site. You can see that by the red underlining I've done. However, as you can see with the red arrows it lists contact information for member SuperGLS (which is obviously me).

Other than that everything seems to be in order! Once the addons get worked out this'll be great!

Thanks for reporting.

Search in template itrader_user for:

Will be fixed in the next release. :)

Will do. Thanks for the quick response. Yep, that worked great!

I got one more for you. The postbit is a bit messed up. Anyway we can have that stacked above Join Date or even better would be below the Blog Entries part?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/01/62.png

I have an auction review forum, would it be possible to use iTrader to review the sites we discuss? Thanks

I have a little problem with the visibility of the iTrader tab in user profiles.
I set "Show iTrader Stats in Memberinfo" to "show as the first tab", but I can't see any tab in user profiles.

Can somebody help me with my problem?? :(

Known issues:
- Profile Tab is not working - that's why this feature is disabled

is the answer if im not mistaken

Thanks for taking the lead on this one, entertain. I'm not installing yet, but am watching for later releases (I've subscribed to this mod). iTrader and Sphinx search are the two deal killers for us using vB4 on our production forum, so having a new iTrader gets us one step closer!

Seems to conflict very badly with VBSEO. I uploaded the files (did'nt even get to install it) and my forum broke badly. Even with the files all deleted I have problems with no images displaying correctly now. Use caution (more than I did) if you have VBSEO installed .....

Here's the errors :

I knew it was not free mod :S But anyway thats good :D

I'm getting this:
I'm the forum admin!

You have to set the usergroup permissions. :-)
