__________________________________ Latest iTrader Verson: 2.0.1 vB Versions Supported: 3.5.x & 3.6.x Author: Jason Rabel Contact: PM me here. Site:EXTREME Overclocking
?????????????????????????????????? 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!!!

Maybe add a way for the thread starter to set a thread to "sold" and have to enter the buyers username. Then make it so the transaction thread is required, and feedback can only be left between the person who started the thread and the person who the thread author sets as the buyer. Wouldn't be too hard to do, and would fix a lot of potential problems.
Although I think in most communities people would respect the rules. There are always a few stinkers though.
Don't be an idiot. The old version was this way and I have over 11,000 pieces of feedback entered. My users love this system and there are plenty of vB admins who have held up on updating their forums to 3.5 because they were waiting for this update.
Speaking of useless, you should probably take advantage of the "Edit" post feature instead of double posting.

Hey m8, calm down, I do think this is a GREAT mod and I LOVE IT, but I'm asking if it is correct or not that anyone can feedback any user on the forum no matter if they dealed before or not.
In short, if i'm pissed of the forum, I'll begin leaving - feedback TO EVERYONE, even if it's 1 per 24h.
Dont get me wrong, i don't expect 100% automation, but I don't want to rely on a 24/7 admin team to look forward correct feedback being applied.
I'll EDIT what I consider I need to EDIT.
My first post was a reply and my second a message to jason.

Only 1 stinker can make you waste tons of minutes to fix things up, email upset users, etc. and the worst: recovering loyalty on the system.
Needless to say, if you plan to create a "fair system", what about 1 user with 2 accounts (1gmail, 1hotmail) and mutually leaving + fb between them so they have 200 feedbacks in a glimpse?
I have a few things I was hoping I could get feedback from everyone on...
First, if anyone would like to help with this I would be more than grateful. A *huge* help would be someone to write some thorough documentation / instructions / usage guide. (For both installation and also something to implement in vB for members to read).
Second, a person who could make some graphics would help out. I woud like to replace the pos/neg/neutral images with something a little nicer. Also the others can be changed if you are really good.
Third, (this was something someone was asking me about via PM, but also an idea I had a while back). I was thinking rather than make it strictly rating, the code could be altered in such a way that a person could rate another, except omit the pos/neg/neu rating initially. That way they have a record of the intended transaction. Then once the deal is finally completed, they can rate it, which will also "finialize" the deal (thus no more comments or editing). A 4th icon can be created to signify "In-Progress" or "Pending", so the person knows how many deals they have going on.
I want to show the total number of ratings in the postbit. I also want to show the percentage of positive ratings BUT ONLY IF the member has at least 1 rating or feedback. Otherwise, the Positive Feedback: 0% would be misleading as it would suggest no positive feedback.
I assume that the conditional to get this done would be if itrader_total DOES NOT EQUAL zero, then show [insert positive feedback percentage code]. I just don't know how to write the conditional for vB.
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.
hmm recently been getting
Fatal error: Unable to proceed with save while $errors array is not empty in class vb_datamanager_pm in /includes/class_dm.php on line 756
