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

In memberlist

Find:

PHP Code:

<td class="thead" align="$stylevar[left]" nowrap="nowrap"><a href="$sorturl&amp;order=ASC&amp;sort=username&amp;pp=$perpage$usergrouplink">$vbphrase[username]</a> $sortarrow[username]</td> 


After add:

PHP Code:

<td class="thead" nowrap="nowrap">iTrader</td> 


In memberlist_resultsbit

Find:

PHP Code:

<tr align="center">
    <td class="alt1Active" align="$stylevar[left]" id="u$userinfo[userid]">
        <a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$userinfo[userid]">$userinfo[musername]</a>
        <if condition="$show['usertitlecol']"><div class="smallfont">$userinfo[usertitle]</div></if>
    </td> 


After add:

PHP Code:

<td class="$bgclass">(<strong><a href="itrader.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$userinfo[userid]">$userinfo[itrader_total]</a></strong>)  / $userinfo[itrader_pcnt]%</td> 


If you want an button instead of a text link showing current score, add this instead of the above:

PHP Code:

<td class="$bgclass"><a href="itrader.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$userinfo[userid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/itrader.gif" alt="itrader.gif" title="Submit feedback for $userinfo[username]" border="0" /></a></td> 


Make a button "itrader.gif" and upload it to your button directory. I made a button for those of you using the default template.

Fantastic. Worked like a charm. Thank you.

Works perfect. Thanks again! REALLY great of you.

I am trying to add the itrader post count () on top of a few forums like I had with my older trader rating and read a reply by another poster but having some issues.

He says to add this code to the postbit

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

My question is what code so I enter for ">ITRADER CODE HERE</

Please Help

To upgrade from 2.0.0 to 2.0.1, I'm guessing we have to uninstall the original plugin and install the new one as well as uploading all the new files. Anything else we need to do? I tried searching this thread to find out, but couldn't find any info.

Upload the new files.
Do not uninstall the existing product.
To upgrade click on the Add/Import Product link. Make sure "Allow Overwrite" is set to yes.

There will be 2 settings that need to be manually changed in youre Admin CP.

sellbuydomain - I'm sorry but I can't help you there. PM Receipts are controlled by the stock VB class, I would check your PM tables to make sure they were inserted properly and the autonumbers are at the correct #'s.

SimCityForum - I'm not 100% sure you will need to check the code (either the PHP file or the template), but if you set it to the proper variable it should auto-fill it for you.

Scorian & belicoso fino - *sigh* yes it works... vB 3.5.x uses a "plug-in" system that for the most part makes these add-on's independent of the core vB changes.

graham_w - It links directly to a (thread) URL for normal users, it only links to the detail page for the two people involved in the deal & admins. You can still access the (thread) URL on the detail page if you click the linked comment text at the top.

Guys, I'm not going to post replies related to basic "How Do I Do Template Conditionals". Read the vB documentation on that and experiment some.

Anyhow, glad to see people have not run into any big problems or bugs using the system. I'm hoping to have 2.0.2 released either Friday or Saturday. Work has really picked up lately and I'm just swamped, so there hasn't been much time to work on this and my many other projects.

I figured out a solution. In the postbit or postbit_legacy templates replace the rep button with:

<a href="itrader_feedback.html?u=$post[userid]&amp;p=$post[postid]" rel="nofollow"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/reputation.gif" alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[add_to_xs_reputation]</phrase>" border="0" /></a>

Then in the iTrader_feedback template I replaced the dealurl code with:

	<if condition="$_GET[p]>0">
<input class="bginput" type="hidden" name="dealurl" value="$vboptions[bburl]/showthread.html?p=$_GET[p]#post$_GET[p]" />
	<else />
		</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td class="alt2" nowrap="nowrap">
			$vbphrase[itrader_thread_url]:
				<br /><span class="smallfont">
				<if condition="$vbulletin->options['itrader_requrl'] == 1">
					$vbphrase[itrader_required]
				<else />
					$vbphrase[itrader_optional]
				</if>
			</span>
		</td>
		<td class="alt2" width="100%">
		<input class="bginput" type="text" name="dealurl" size="45" maxlength="255" value="$itrader[dealurl]" /><br />
			<span class="smallfont">$vbphrase[itrader_url_example]</span>
		</if>

You'll notice that I changed the dealurl input to hidden from text as the user doesn't need to see it if the value has been prepadded. I used the postid instead of the threadid so that the link could be related back to the exact post not just the thread.

A similar tweak can be done to the normal iTrader link, but it requires passing the postid value along at the itrader_user template using the following code:

<a href="itrader_feedback.html?$session[sessionurl]u=$userinfo[userid]<if condition="$_GET[p]>0">&amp;p=$_GET[p]</if>"><strong>$vbphrase[itrader_submit_feedback] $userinfo[username]</strong></a>

This was a fairly clean tweak as it impacted only a few templates.

I've installed the base product and can see and configure it in the admin cp. I have no idea hwo to modify the templates, moore specifically, where to put the various code snippets.

Also, when I tried to manually navigate to http://wwwmyforum.net/itrader.php, I get a permissions error.



I'd be more than happy to add dollars to someone's PayPal account for help. I run a cigar forum, and the trader rating system would be a boon to our site.

TIA...

First give your usergroup permissions to use the iTrader system. Then simply add it in your templates as discribed.
