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:

I like it under the avatar with the rest of the info.

can anyone tell me how to make the iTrader info not show up in the postbit if the user has 0 feedback?

I am wondering if it would be possible to somehow manually edit a users iTrader rating?

Would this have to be done in the database?

Thanks!

Its the middle button below the options column on the iTrade page.

Ok I see what you're talking about, but it doesn't really help with what I want to do.

I want to actually bump some users rating up many points... (I am verifying their rating from another domain industry forum). I am guessing this has to be done in the database somewhere. Is there any risk to doing this? or easy way about it?

It doesn't use memcache, there is no need to.

You can't simply change their score in the DB. It is re-calculated each time a rating is added / removed. You would have to physically add in ratings.

Ok so I have it installed, and everything is peachy.

But how can I go on the iTrader page and search for other users or list top rated users or things like that?

Will iTrader work with vBulletin 3.7.0 (Beta 3)?

I have posted a request for a modification of this iTrader plugin.
I want to manually adjust my users trader rating numbers.
It is a paid job if anybody is up for the task...

DISCLAIMER: I am not a pro modder, but I figured out how to make this work on my 3.6.8 copy. Back up everything related to vb including files and database. Make these modifications at your own risk. NOTHING IS GUARANTEED.

With that said, I just upgraded my forum from 3.5.x to 3.6.8 and the following solution worked for so it should be a good solution for those with 3.6.8 that have no idea how to restore itrader functionality.

The reason it does not work is because somewhere in the upgrade to 3.6.8 the postbit_legacy and postbit templates are wiped and they lack the itrader template conditional which displays the itrader values for your members in the detail below their avatars.

Go to your admincp>>Styles & Templates>>Style Manager>>Find the template you wish to modify and click the "<< >>" which appears on the same line in the last column.

Scroll down to Postbit Template. Double click Postbit Template. If you use Postbit Legacy (check your vb options), then double click postbit_legacy, search for the line that contains an if condition for joindate, i.e. search for "joindate".

Hopefully that will lead you to this text:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$post['joindate']"><div>$vbphrase[join_date]: $post[joindate]</div></if> 


Paste this immediately after it:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$post['userid']"><div>Trader Rating: (<b><a href="itrader.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$post[itrader_total]</a></b>)</div></if> 


Save and your trader ratings should now function in 3.6.8.

If you use the postbit template, you can follow the same steps for that template but I cannot guarantee you will get the placement you want.
