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:

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)

Jason, a 'home page' like you had in the 3.0 version is must and the look/functionality of the 3.0 version is fine. I really do not want have to rely on another hack for that functionality as that author has abandoned his hacks in the past.

i installed everything but it has this permission problem
you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.


can anyone help?

Edit your options in the admincp > usergroups > usergroup manager > edit usergroup

Can you clarify this? I assigned "Admin" permissions to a usergroup but none of the members in that group are receiving the itrader emails, just the original administrator group.

Also, as I'm sure you know, we all really need a new itrader homepage now that the vulnerability in Gio's hack has been revealed.

Thanks again.

Jason please keep the itrader_total and itrader_pcnt fields. What would be nice is if you could also include separate fields for the amount of positive, neutral and negative ratings.

Is there any way to edit/correct a trader rating *after* the time limit has passed?

An iTrader Admin would have to change it for you, they do not have time limits and can edit any rating.

I really didn't want to add more fields than necessary in the user table, and I didn't want to try and pack multiple variables into a single field.

I'll have to double check the code, I *thought* it was just that group, but *maybe* I hard-coded it for the admin group by accident.

Thats fine, just as long as you keep the two fields that are already there.
