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

installed. looks like the wait was worth it so far. i do miss being able to see the top rated people. hope that is part of the next update.


i am getting the following error when trying to access the itrader_global.php page:

Warning: main(DIR/includes/functions_itrader.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/forums.********.com/itrader_global.php on line 19

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'DIR/includes/functions_itrader.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /var/www/forums.********.com/itrader_global.php on line 19

why is that?

Brilliant, thanks. Presumably this overwrites all the values in the user table which are currently totally wrong?

[Watson]

Superb, been waiting for this. Loving it Jason. Thanks for this

[edit]

Just wondering, when I put the link in for the navbar, it seems to go to what people would see when they click on my rating. Aint this spose to be the top 10 traders bit? or is that in the next version.

Sorry if I missed this in another post, did read it, but a bit tired

Once you put the code in the postbit/postbit_lgacy template, you will see iRating : (0) click on that to leave a rating for a user

All installed fine but it seems when i submit feedback on the itrader
for the code i put in postbit it still remains like this
iTrader: (0)

when it should be

iTrader: (1)

Anyidea's dude?

[eoc_Jason]

dmark101 - did you upload the files to the '/includes' and '/includes/xml' directory as per the directions? Because it sure doesn't look like it from that error.

Watson - Guess you didn't read the thread as it was mentioned multiple times. There is no home page like before. However since so many people have requested it I will create one.

Anyhow, I'm about to start working on fixing all the little bugs and such discovered last night. Hopefully I can release an update today, or tomorrow at the latest.

Jason, Will you be making the required link back to the sale thread an option?
That's pretty important to me, since my site uses frames.

[KidneyBoy]

OttawaGolf: If I'm not mistaking, it's already just an option, and defaulted to "off". The option is in the ACP section (The top one) just scroll down all the configuration options until you find the iTrader one (toward the bottom of the configuration list).

Hope this helps

Jason,

Since some are interested in the home page and some are not, maybe an option whether or not to use it?

Just a suggestion
