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:

any update on when the new version will be released (that hopefully includes a home page)?

Does anyone know what this means when a member tries to leave feedback and enter a valid link but gets this message “The deal URL is invalid!” which does not allow him to leave feedback?

[Shoemoney]

It means when it checks the url specified its invalid... where are you stuck at

About the 80 character "short comment" field...

I want to increase this, so I changed the number of characters in the itrader_feedback template, and I changed it in the DB.

But the phrase, $vbphrase[itrader_max_characters], still says 80 characters. How do I edit the phrase so that I can change the number? Otherwise, when I go to leave a rating for someone, it says 80 maximum even though I increased it.

I went into AdminCP > Languages and Phrases, I found the phrase and clicked edit, but there's no text box there for me to edit it next to "Text:". It just shows this line: Note: 80 characters max & no HTML/Smilies/vBcode

Do I have to somehow edit the phrase through the DB, and if so, how do I make the forum show the reflected change when I'm done?

Its all in the documentation =P

if your talking about this:

Most likely you will want to add the score info to the postbit and/or postbit_legacy template(s), MEMBERINFO, and memberlist_resultsbit template. Actual placement and style is entirely up to you, however here's a sample to get you started. Note that the MEMBERINFO & memberlist_resultsbit templates won't need the conditional around the text since you can't view a "guest" in those cases.

<if condition="$post['userid']"><div>iTrader: (<b><a href="itrader.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$post[itrader_total]</a></b>)</div></if>

all that code does is provide the member score info... im asking for more than that if you click the link i provided you will see exactly what i mean thanks

One question:
In the vB3.0 version of this hack, an overview page was included, where you could see statistics about all ratings and the top rated members etc.
Where is this page in iTrader 2.0?
