Description:
iTrader for vB 3.5.x & 3.6.x 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.

Standard Disclaimer:
BACKUP YOUR DATABASE & FILES BEFORE IMPLEMENTING THIS HACK!!!

Donations:
This add-on will always be free, however your donations are kindly accepted and will help towards further development. The link is on the right under "The Developer" info.

Future Additions:

• AdminCP & ModCP Menus for searching IPs, stats, mass-prune, etc
• Better navigation across pages
• Better error descriptions
• Adjust action icons some
• Page to link two ratings manually
• AdminCP Option to choose how ratings are ordered (asc or desc by time)
• AJAX editing

Release History:
2.0.1 - December 18, 2005

I have found the problem source:

simply replace

with

itrader_pcnt = '" . $userinfo['tradepcnt'] . "'

Chrisbaktis - I'll be releasing an update today, and that will be included as an admincp option.

Areku - Admin's override all restrictions, for various reasons, that's why you can leave multiple feedback within the restricted timeframe. If a postid is submitted in the URL all it does is back-check to the the threadid, it's just there for convience. I allowed duplicate threadid's because on many sites a person has a single "FS" listing URL, thus multiple people could end up linking to it. Like I said, a person is free to edit this however they feel fit for their own forum use. Everyone runs their forum differently, for instance, in my FS/WTB sections, a user can create the thread and edit it, but that's it. People can not reply because that would alter the natural order of items being listed FS.

zlos - I'll be sure to fix that with the next update.

Here's a quick list of some things for the 2.0.1 version. I'm sure there is more but these are just off the top of my head. It's late and my brain is only halfway functioning so I'm going to wait to release this till tomorrow so I can double-check everything one last time and make sure I package up everything properly in the zip. If I do it tonight I'm sure there will be something small I'll miss.

Please let me know if I happened to miss any bugs. I looked over the thread tonight and did not see anything that I haven't fixed. I meant to get this out earlier today but one thing always leads to another, you know how it goes.

• Fixed:
  • Several Changes In Upgrade Script to process users in batches
  • Checks PM for errors before attempting to save
  • Altered user table to accomidate negative scores
  • Some phrase fixes
  • Changed templates to $show (instead of $itrader) when deciding blocks of HTML to show
  • Changed a few instances of <br> to <br />
• Changed:
  • Edit Time Limit is now specified in minutes (instead of seconds)
  • Duplicate User Rating Time Limit is now specified in hours (instead of seconds)
  • Adjusted checking to accomidate more than 3 types of deals (ex: loan, rent, whatever)
• Added:
  • AdminCP iTrader Menu - Update iTrader Scores (Batch Updating)
  • Admin Option - Detail comments minimum characters (0 will disable / make comments optional)
  • Admin Option - Contact staff on negative rating (Y/N)
  • Admin Option - Maximum Time To Return Rating (specified in days)
  • Admin Option - "New Trader" Score (Affects how other options function)
  • Added indexes on ipaddress for faster IP checking (No admincp IP searching yet)
