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

Is there a way to change a user's feedback score so if they have feedback established on another board, I can transfer that number to the iTrader board here on my forum?

If so,
where would I do that?

[nate247]

Am I right in saying that this "wont" work with version 3.5.4???

I am new to vBulletin and have jumped straight in with version 3.5.4, badly want a trader rating mod asap.

Any help would be great.

[djwins]

it works with 3.5.4

Ok, I am frustrated.
Last night, I got the iTrader to work and left fb for another user.

Today, I cannot view it and hit the "Submit feedback for x" but then I get the error that I do not have permission to access the page. I have not changed any of the usergroup permissions.

I just changed the new trader rating access to 0 thinking that it was a restriction.?. That didn't work.

Sorry to be a complete neewb but I have followed the instructions to the point of "upload the upload file" (not sure exactly which forum directory / folder it needs to be uploaded too sorry, first mod I am afraid and it doesn't state where to put it).

I have loaded the XML file by the way, guess I just need to put the upload file in the right place.

Once this is done, its my understanding that I need to insert some code to get the trader ratings to show up.

Ideally I would like them under the Avater if possible. If anyone could point me in the right direction or could advise on a post where I can learn how to do it I would be extremely grateful.

Incase you need to look at the site to advise, its www.dontfearit.com.

Many thanks in advance

Nathan

Did you create a database first? If so, put it in that folder on your ftp. EX: My database is called feedback so I put it in the feedback folder.

It is wise to read the whole 26 pages of this post, as some of my questions were answered in the pages...

I love this mod, but mine is giving me problems, so I don't want to give you any more advice...

[nate247]

Ah right..... problems hey

I have to be honest somebody created the forum for me and now I somply have an ftp to upload things to the forum.

When I did my theme I had to place the files in specific locations, so I just wondered if thats what I had to do with this mod?

To be honest, my 14yo son created mine for me. That's why I have sort of been doing things here and there and wish I could do this myself, but am too new.

I got mine up and working by creating a usergroup, but my son said I shouldn't have had to do that.

I am frustrated and wish there was a forum just for itrader questions...

Okay
I can leave feedback again. Weird. I think there must have been a time limit setting (that I have not found yet) to change how many times users can post feedback. I haven't changed any settings since this afternoon and now it is working correctly. This is just too weird, but I am not complaining. It's working at the moment.
