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
2.0.0 - December 14, 2005

Just wondering how you would make the feedback comment link to the URL posted as the deal URL, instead of to the comments page ??

So when you click on the comment it will take you to the deal that was done so you can see what happened ? Thanks !

Thank you Damian That's perfect. :up:

Is there a way to have the iTrader ratings in postbit & postbit_legacy only show up in specific forums?
ie all classified forums, but not in the discussion forums?

There must be some kind of conditions that can be used. Help would be really appreciated.

For single forum:

<if condition="$thread[forumid] == xx">ITRADER CODE HERE</if>



Try this for mutiple forums:

<if condition="in_array($thread[forumid],array(xx,xx))">ITRADER CODE HERE</if>

Replace x's with your forum id's

I have recently upgraded to this version since I did a vb version upgrade to 3.5.3 and when I installed itrader it installed on some styles that have been causing me some issues. Since then I removed the custom styles and currently using the default style but the problem is that the itrader link is gone from the forum menu

before my upgrade i had applied this code with this condition to have the trader link only show up for certain member gorups but cant figure out where and what code to put on the new version..

Here is the code I was using for 3.0.7
</if>
<if condition="$show['member']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="traderratings.php?$session[sessionurl]">Trader Rating</a></td>
</if>

What and where can I add this simular code for itrader in vb 3.5.3 ?

Can you explain what code you place in ">ITRADER CODE HERE</ ?

The iTrader code you would have put into the postbit template.

I did not install this hack? can you be more specific please....

I need two things.

1. insert a link called Itrader in my forum menu with a condition that only logged in members can see.

2. I need to insert the rating only for certain forums (selling, trading)

I am not a coder so please your help would be greatly appreciated if you can post the correct code and exacly where I would insert this code for the two requests about

I was wondering the same thing. 90% of my board members would have an iTrader rating of 0 (0%) so I was wondering if there was a conditional to either:

A) Not display the iTrader menu in a person's profile/postbit unless they have ratings, or
B) Display N/A instead of the total (percentage).

iTrader has a permission system. You can disallow groups from viewing the itrader pages. If you want a link in your navbar to only show to members just add it to your "Quick Links' menu. There is a template edit for this included in the zip file in this post:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=254

If you want to have a individual link in your navbar to take logged in members to their iTrader page instead of in "Quick Links" menu use:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$show['member']"><td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/itrader.php?$session[sessionurl]">My iTrader</a></td></if> 


Put that where you want the link. For example, to add it to the right of the UserCP link, add it below:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$show['member']">
            <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[user_cp]</a></td>
        </if>
