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!!!

A hack of this caliber should be well documented in the description area considering the majority of hacks released do so.

This hack was easy as pie to install... Installed.

Yes, the install was easy. No doubt. Where do you put the links though? Something other than "get creative" with them as the documentation stated.

It's not like this has to be anything difficult either, which is why I really don't understand why it hasn't been done.

In the MEMBERINFO template:

Find:

sample code

replace with:

iTrader link code

I'd say 100% of the hacks I've installed had something along those lines. iTrader is by far a premier hack, and can't provide something that simple???

I offered to help you but it looks like you would rather just complain about the lack of documentation.
Maybe give that a rest and just post what you are wanting to do so you can get some help.

Was that you that IM'd me offering to help install it? I have it installed. I just need help with what templates should be modified for the links to show up. Basically just like my example above.

[Damian]

No I didn't IM you but if you like you can just post where you want the links and I will write it up for you.

Like your board under the user's post count would be fine with me.

To add to postbit

In postbit_legacy

Find:

PHP Code:

<div>$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]</div> 


After add:

PHP Code:

<div>iTrader: <strong><a href="itrader.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$post[itrader_total]</a></strong> / $post[itrader_pcnt]% </div>

Thanks!

It looks like Strict URL Checking will not function if you have vBSEO installed.

Ncturnal,

I'm just getting ready to put in iTrader and will be putting vbSEO in. Any further info on this. Is it a problem?

thanks
