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!!!

Future Additions:

• AdminCP & ModCP Menus for searching IPs, stats, mass-prune, etc
• Better navigation across pages

• 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

2.0.0 - December 14, 2005

I was re-reading thru this entire thread and noticed no one has reported a problem we are encountering - we have disabled suspicious activity email notifications thru iTrader's Admincp settings but are still receiving them.

Any suggestions?

Btw, we are running vbb 3.5.3.

Im trying to get the feedback to show up in the postbit but am having no luck. I tried adding two different lines of code but they dont seem to be working. here is what I put in my postbit.

1.

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

2.

<if condition="$post[itrader_total]">$post[itrader_pcnt]%</if>

Use:

PHP Code:

<div>iTrader: <strong><a href="itrader.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$post[itrader_total]</a></strong> / $post[itrader_pcnt]% </div>

Just hoping this question didn't get lost - has it been asked previously ? My problem is when updating the user profile directly, it still doenst update in the itrader feedback page properly. Hoping there is a better way of manually adding scores

Anyone come up with a summary page for this that only lists members with a feedback rating?

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been around. Work have just been killing me along with other obligations.

I need to finish up all the changes for the 2.0.2 rollout, there's a few bug fixes and additional features. I'll try to get the summary page done, but I'm not making any promises. Someone could port over the old page and call it something else like itrader_home.php or something.

grahm_w - Do not manually edit the scores in the user table, those get overwritten from the itrader table data. If you want to add additional records you will need to add them to the itrader table then you can do a mass-update to the user table via the admincp.

I'm not sure why suspicious activity would still be emailed if you disable it. What is the exact reason it gives? I'll have to double check the code.

Someone else mentioned an error with pagination when viewing via the "from buyers" "from sellers", or other tabs, but I have not been able to reproduce that error and nobody else has reported it, I think it might be related to an old template or file.

As for having only certain groups get the emails from suspicious activity. Any group set to "can admin itrader" gets the emails. If you don't want all your mods to get them, create a separate usergroup and set only those mods you want as itrader admins in that as a sub-group. I might make another usergroup option related to the emails, but no promises on that either.

I have just added it to acorndomains .co.uk and seems to be working great.

Would like to see a couple of mods as already requested here, a top ratings list (best and worst) and extra field for transaction value.

Many thanks for a great plug in!

I apoligize if this is innappropriate (or insulting), but I will paypal you $50 if the home page makes into 2.0.2.

Thanks!

Jason, I would like to thank you for this wonderful code. I have used your different Feedback systems before and have nothing but praise for them. A job well done.
