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:

Sure. It's www.mr2board.com. Also, I don't know if this helps at all, but I found this: http://www.vbseo.com/f2/vbseo-functi...nsibility-1662 It may as well be in Greek though, because I don't really know what they are saying there. :speechless: If you need to see any of the behind the scenes stuff just PM me.

Hi Jason,

Yes that was what I was saying - whereas I wanted it so if the *post* was by one of them it would validate (even if they hadn't started the thread) - I've modified my code to allow this..

So don't worry, your code is fine Just not what I wanted to use it for

The only confusing thing my users find is the "Trades" - does this means trades as in a swap, or traders as in commercial entities?

[eoc_Jason]

Trade as in swap (or barter)...

I'll get to looking at the vBSEO thing today.

Probably will have 2.0.2 released on Monday. Not sure if I will have all the features I was planning on adding, but it will have some more stuff I'm sure you guys will like.

I'm still trying to think more about how to make the choices customizable, and I think I've come up with a reasonable solution, but coding it is going to be a pain, so there will not be a time frame for when it will be implemented. Until then I guess the best course of action would be to edit it to suit your own needs, which isn't too difficult (to add extra transaction types).

Jason, I have tried to PM you.

[sellbuydomain]

hi, Jason, can you look up my last post here, i have an error on the forum, can you take a few mins to look up the error i post, please help, thank you

[techxpert]

I also can't users to strict URL when submitting feedback.
I have static URL on my forum like www.website.com/forum/thread133.html

Is there is any work around?

[telc]

Is there a way to setup a conditional in the the postbit, so it only shows the "iTrader" info if the user has at least 1 feedback?

[djwins]

<if condition="$post['ratetradetotal']"></if>

That was for the older Trader Ratings code...the new one is probably itradertotal or something...

[Puntoboy]

i want to add the itrader score so that it shows up when users post.

how would i do this so it appears under their post count?
