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

• AdminCP Option to choose how ratings are ordered (asc or desc by time)
• AJAX editing

works even in 3.6 beta 1

I've read the whole thread and I can't seem to find a solution to my problem.

I've installed the product and in the ACP I can see the new iTrader Settings option at the bottom of the vBulletin Options list, iTrader Tools appears as an option in the ACP but I can see nothing regarding the setting of usergroup permissions for iTrader.

I assume that if I choose a usergroup and click Edit to access the list of settings for a usergroup, I should see right down the bottom a group of settings regarding iTrader (after the group of settings called "Usergroup Options, which includes "This Usergroup is a 'Banned' Group"). But there is nothing new appearing here. One poster in this thread (kellyandmike) spoke of creating a new usergroup. That doesn't seem right to me.

I have the following installed products:
vBulletin 3.5.4
iTrader 2.0.1 Trader Feedback System
Separate Sticky and Normal Threads 1.0.3 Separate Sticky and Normal Threads
SigmaChat 1.0.0 SigmaChat integration, remote authentication, and who's chatting system.
vBadvanced CMPS 2.1.0 vBadvanced Content Management & Portal System

Could one of these products be in conflict with iTrader? Can someone help me out here please?

Hi all,

I am running a custom skin and am struggling to get the iTrader showing in the postbit. I have followed all of the instructions and double checked that I have inserted the code in the correct part of the code and under the correct skin.

Can anybody suggest anything?

Thanks.

[Birdlepop]

Ok, I fixed it.

In options, there is an option to view forum as traditional 2-column vertical design.

I selected this and the itrader rating shows!

I have had a search thorugh the thread and am having problems with the Strict URL aspect of the mod.

I am using the standard daynamic URL's and so inevitably, every thread has a different URL.

Which URL do I add to the 'Strict URL Checking' option to correspond with all of the different thread URLs?

Can anybody give me an example of how to get this to work?

Thanks in adavnce.

I had it working great on our test forum, which was 3.5.4. But I completely uninstalled it, and reinstalled it under 3.6.0 RC3. (I wanted to see how the install went under the newer version.) Has anyone else had any luck getting it to work under this version? I notice someone else got it working under the beta 1 version. I'm sure not much has changed (possibly a hook location, or template changes)...?

Not sure if this helps Denby, but when you are looking in the ACP for a user group - iTrader settings don't show at the very bottom - they show just below Public Group settings which is 3rd from the top (well on our script anyhow ).

Does any one know how I could restrict certain usergroups from displaying the rating on their postbits? For usergroups like Admin and Supermoderators we do not want users to be able to add ratings as they are immune to this type of activity.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Any posabilities of this being ported to 3.6(RC3 or gold)?

[denby]

Thanks shawno but I'm still quite confused.

I don't understand where I should be looking for the usergroup settings. I thought that I should go to, say:

ACP -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager -> Administrators (Edit Usergroup, click Go)
and then find a group of settings for iTrader on that page (presumably near the bottom). After making the settings for that usergroup I would then proceed to repeat the process for each of my other usergroups.

Am I looking in the wrong place?
