One issue that comes up when you manually changed it is, you don't know how many were postitive, and how many were negative (or even neutral), nor do you know how many were from unique members. You just have an arbitrary number that sums up to something. Your solution is to simply take the difference of what is stored in the trade table and the rating you created, and create only all pos/neg entries to balance them out.

In all honesty I think it would just be better to drop what numbers you manually changed, and allow users to either re-rate whatever they can truly remember, or just let them live with their new (err, old) score and it can build up if they buy or sell more stuff. I don't consider it a life-altering event if a few points were lost.

However, since you seem intent on keeping their new numbers, your first SQL query that you PMed me will give you the score difference between the new and old. Then for each rating you will need to create the corresponding amount of rating rows in the trade table, which you can use either userid 0 (it should display a blank username) or 1 (which should be yours).

The whole point of the new ratings system is to display mostly by unique members, as to not over inflate a users rating (eBay, among many other sites and software packages do the same). I think it is more correct to see that X person has had X postitive feedback from unique people, rather than the same number from a single person. Changing the feedback score to not count by unique members is not difficult, however in the long run I don't think it should be done just for the sake of the few ratings that had to be manually inserted.

But, to answer your question, with v1.01 you will need to edit the traderratings.php file in two places to adjust the counting method. First at the very bottom in the tratings_user function, this is what recalculates and updates the rating score in the user tabel whenever a rating is added or deleted. Second is in the do=view section near the top, it's similar to the code in the function (In v1.02 I've actually changed it some so that it uses the same function.) But you can basically remove the "DISTINCT" clause out and that will count all entried, not members. But then you should probably change the text on the page accordingly since the pos/neg totals will no longer be by members either. (and the All positive feedback received part will be redudant).

Like I said before, I think it would probably be best just to drop the manual edits and let people gripe and moan for a while until they get over it, so that your ratings will be consistent with everyone elses and you won't have to always hack up code every time I post a new release (since I'm planning on adding a lot more features, I don't know how many will interfere with your plans for how you want it to function).
