End-User Options - iTrader version 2.5.0, new generation now released

As announced last month, here we are today with the launch of the next generation of iTrader, version 2.5.0.

The tradition continue, we're proud to announce that vbEnhancer is now the official host of iTrader, with a new structure, more addons and a cleaner code for the future versions.

This is just an update, because for 2.5.0 we were focussing in centralizing all the existing addons for the old 2.1 version, and we made it clear that it would be easier with a smooth update for the existing clients and an easy spleen for the new players.

So, what do we get in the box?

All the files are now cleaned and easier to debug, here is the setting page in the vBulletin Options:

• Gio~logist's Main Page is now integrated fully
• A new Profile Tab
• Completely and only compatible with vBulletin 3.8 generation
• Refurbished templates, with new icons for ranking (positive, negative, neutral)
• Option in your Profile Settings so you can show that you are selling/buying something
• Force display of iTrader infos in specific forums
• Display of iTrader Feedback Score in postbit

The thumbnail attached shows the extensive list of settings you can manage thru the regular path. as you can see, some new features have settings in the bottom of that page, they are good to look at.

And here is the form you see when you submit a new feedback regarding one of the transaction you've been involved in.


all without any template or file edit...

You want to upgrade, or install as new?

Easy, if you have not used any of the addons released on vBulletin.org, you simply have to upload all the new files, overwriting the old ones, and uploadthe product file, allow overwriting the product, so it upgrade to the latest.

If you have used any addon that required template edits, like the old version of Giologist Profile block or his Main Page, or if you used MagnetiCat's Profile Tab, you will need to uninstall these first, and hopefully, we provide all these versions in the Jason's iTrader Archive forum on top of this... (just follow the opposite of the instructions!)

So, that's it... there is not much new instructions, as now the entire engine is self documented... you can always post a question in this forum, so you are answered as soon as needed... but also, what's fun, is that we ask for your requests, suggestions, needs; because we want to make the engine even better for the next version, which will jump to number 3.0 ...

I've got the plugin working fine in 3.8.4, no problems at all.

Just one thing I'd like to do if possible, in the posbit only show the feedback score if a user has been given feedback, otherwise don't show the feedback score: 0.

the problem is that if we do not show the zero feedback, there is no link for others to feedback that person... or you simply use the profile tab... is that what you want?

i will add a little tweak to make it so, next week when i debug the actual version.

I'm trying to remove "Feedback Score: XX reviews, XXX%" from the postbit as I've put the iTrader ratings into the postbit myself, is there any possible way to remove that line? I've examined the product but I can't seem to find it. I'm not a professional in editing products, lol. Help would be appreciated.

Many thanks.

support will be back at http://vbenhancer.com in the next days, and i'll have a fix for that as well in the next 2.5.1 version to be released at that moment... *(ability to not display ratings in postbit at all.)

Installed to 3.8.4 No problem.

For torch bearers to update the script, I recommend

• Adding a readme.txt file which suggests updating the user group permissions (adding itrader adds itrader permission sets under user group management and each group needs to have the ability to 'view feedback' turned on), else people will install and post about how it doesn't work. (Makes for long forum threads)

• Add a small graphic which appears before "Feedback Score:" in he postbit. This will draw attention, make it more aesthetic, etc.

• Add support for non-trade related feedback tracking.

• Ability to modify text which appears in postbit e.g. I'd like it to say "Secure Trader Feedback:..."

As far as the idea of a paid addon like this, anyone wanting to do that would be starting from scratch since the code base for itrader itself is GPL, however look at the installs and consider the value. It's a no-brainer. Make something affordable, and I for one would certainly make the purchase. Feedback is a well loved tool.
