iTrader 2.1.0 (Interim Release)
 

To hold people over until I get the full updated version with new features released, I'm posting this Interim version that has been tested / updated for vBulletin 3.7.x

There are no new features in this release, it is simply compatability updates and minor bug fixes. There are changes to both files & templates, but no changes to the iTrader tables.

Description:
iTrader for vBulletin has evolved from Trader Ratings for vB 3.0.x which evolved from Buy/Sell/Trade User Rating System for vB 2.x. This is a rating system for when members buy / sell / trade items from each other (presumably on a FS section of your forum). It is somewhat based on the honor system since there is no automatic way to truly tell if they did engage in a transaction. iTrader came about because it was a pain to try and maintain a single thread listing good / bad traders and so far has worked out quite well.

Features:

• Rate another member: Positive / Negative / Neutral
• Specify in each transaction: Buyer, Seller, or Trade
• Leave multiple comments about the deal
• Dates & IPs are all recorded to prevent abuse
• Specify a thread URL to the deal
• Advanced URL checking
• Display ratings over time
• Filter based on Buyer/Seller/Trade/or feedback they left for others
• Users can edit/delete ratings left for others (time based limitation)
• iTrader Admins can edit/delete anyone's ratings (just incase)
• PM notification when new rating or comment is left
• Per-usergroup permissions
• Lots of admin controllable options

Installation / Upgrade Info:
Read the included readme file, it explains everything.

nice update :)

Awesome!

However I am running it on a vb 3.7.1 board and it works fine. But I will update it when this is golden!

thanks and will be tested

After upgrading to the interim release, the iTrader acts like it's turned off, even though the permissions have been correctly set and the hack is active. Users can view the trader feedback in the Member Info page (I'm using MagnetiCat's hack - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=178158 ) but the system itself can't be used. It says that "The iTrader system is currently closed." even though it's turned on.

Bug?

Using vBulletin 3.7.1PL1

I am gonna click install :P

-> disable MagnetiCat's profile thing then retry :P

Rated and Installed, its possible to run this Mod which 3.6.x ver ?

Is it possible to disable negative and normal feedback ratings, see I want to modify this for my personal use so I can have like a Bebo love system on my site where people get to give 1 love a day to sum1.

I have done this before using the old itrader system but it was awhile ago and I can't remember what stopped me using it but yea anyway I don't wanna trash your thread so can you tell me if it's possible to limit the number of feedbacks a user is allowed to give in one day and if negative and normal feedback can be disabled leaving only posative?

Thanks

Rick

Well, if indeed iTrader is set to "open" in your vB Options, then there is probably a version mismatch somewhere. In the new release I've coded it to be a bit more explicit if there is a file vs DB difference, but with this (and previous releases) it just says closed to prevent any issues. I'm assuming you chose the overwite option when you updated? Make sure you are using all the latest files.

Last thing to check would be to enable debug mode on your forum (probably best to close the forum temporarily). Go to your vBulletin Options -> Version Info and Other Untouchables. Then look for iTrader Version Number, it *should* be 2.1.0, if it's not then click the 'edit' link and under the "Default" field change it to 2.1.0 and make sure the Data Validation Type is set to "Free".

If none of that works, let me know, but one of those has to be the problem.

Easiest way without modifying the code would be to just remove those options in the template where they input a rating.

How do I upgrade on vb 3.7
On the instructions it doesnt say, except for vb 3.0 and 3.5, or wha tis it the same?
