End-User Options - iTrader version 2.5.0, new generation now released

As announced last month, here we are today with the launch of the next generation of iTrader, version 2.5.0.

The tradition continue, we're proud to announce that vbEnhancer is now the official host of iTrader, with a new structure, more addons and a cleaner code for the future versions.

This is just an update, because for 2.5.0 we were focussing in centralizing all the existing addons for the old 2.1 version, and we made it clear that it would be easier with a smooth update for the existing clients and an easy spleen for the new players.

So, what do we get in the box?

All the files are now cleaned and easier to debug, here is the setting page in the vBulletin Options:

• Gio~logist's Main Page is now integrated fully
• A new Profile Tab
• Completely and only compatible with vBulletin 3.8 generation
• Refurbished templates, with new icons for ranking (positive, negative, neutral)
• Option in your Profile Settings so you can show that you are selling/buying something
• Force display of iTrader infos in specific forums
• Display of iTrader Feedback Score in postbit

The thumbnail attached shows the extensive list of settings you can manage thru the regular path. as you can see, some new features have settings in the bottom of that page, they are good to look at.

And here is the form you see when you submit a new feedback regarding one of the transaction you've been involved in.


all without any template or file edit...

You want to upgrade, or install as new?

Easy, if you have not used any of the addons released on vBulletin.org, you simply have to upload all the new files, overwriting the old ones, and uploadthe product file, allow overwriting the product, so it upgrade to the latest.

If you have used any addon that required template edits, like the old version of Giologist Profile block or his Main Page, or if you used MagnetiCat's Profile Tab, you will need to uninstall these first, and hopefully, we provide all these versions in the Jason's iTrader Archive forum on top of this... (just follow the opposite of the instructions!)

So, that's it... there is not much new instructions, as now the entire engine is self documented... you can always post a question in this forum, so you are answered as soon as needed... but also, what's fun, is that we ask for your requests, suggestions, needs; because we want to make the engine even better for the next version, which will jump to number 3.0 ...

I re-uploaded everything, I believe that there may be a conflicting mod somewhere, as it's still not working...... I'm going to keep fiddling around with it, maybe it'll work. Thank you for all the help though (:

ok, let me see... itrader is a addon to vBulletin, your /forum/ i suppose... so yes, they all have to be uploaded to that path... as for 99% of the products on this site. (the only 1% left is for vbadvanced)

you have to upload the files in the folder structure as you see... the files in the /includes/ folder have to go there... etc.

there can't be a 404 error if files are at the right place... 404 error is NOT related to vBulletin, they are sent from your server to indicate that the page you want to reach do not exists... so it's not related to a product, it's not related to a "problem"... it is related to a missing page.

sorry, i can't help more on that topic. installing products, uploading files, is explained all across this site from thousands of persons, it's useless for me to do it again...

Hi,

Just a quick question!

Is there a manual edit for the postbit informaton? All my other stats are placed within a nice bix and id like to do the same for the feedback score.

Ive added an attachment so hopefully it makes more sense!

sure it make sense... you will have to customize the plugin related to the postbit to make it so... the plugin is " postbit_display_complete "... if you read it well, it only create a " <div class="smallfont"> " for styling... you play with that.. and then re-import the product if you did it in the file.

Uh, wat? From what you had said at the time the impression you were giving was that there was no way you were going to upgrade the script to work for VB4 with out someone paying for it, at a large cost.

Obviously it would be preferred by all if you were going to do this. My recommendations were based on your posts that pretty much said it was never going to happen.

I just went to click on the link to the announcement you posted and it 404'd. Do you still have solid plans to upgrade to VB4 or not?

Hi,

Sorry to have to ask but im having troubles and cant quite see how to fix it.

Uploaded all the files, imported product, config'd settings etc. In the settings I have set itrader to show up in postibit, member profiles and as a link in the navbar.

But it hasn't showed up in any of those 3 positions.

I get a "Admin, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons... etc " message when trying to access mydomain.com/forum/itrader.php

So I checked usergroup settings to see if I hadn't set something in there. There is no usergroup settings so it has left me quite stumped as to what I have missed out.

Any ideas? All help is much appreciated.

Thanks

did you upload the files from the /includes/xml/ folder, as they are the ones related to that product activation and permissions.

as well, can you reach the page: yoursite.com/itrader.php ??

if not, you uploaded the files in the wrong place.
