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:

• AdminCP Option to choose how ratings are ordered (asc or desc by time)

I have lost my trader ratings data, but that was my fault fiddling :hurt:

But telc is right, you don't loose any data during an upgrade. I've sorted myself out and got it back and also tweaked it slightly.

BTW 2.01 seems to work fine on vbulletin 3.6.2

Awsome hack!

There is one major flaw, but I am sure it is easy to fix.

When you are leaving feedback, you post an optional link to a deal. There are two holes.

1. You can leave feedback for the same link, over and over.
2. The link should be a manditory option in the ACP

If you don't have these, the feedback system is almost useless. I could sit there all day and leave 200 feedback on a friend or just sign up as another user and leave my other user ID great feedback.

Thisis an OUTSTANDING hack, I would just like to see it perfected.

Thanks!

It works great with 3.6.2! Thanks for the thumbs up.

How do I add their "in search of" to the postbit? I'd like it to be easier to access.

Thanks again!

[imranbaig]

Installed on vb 3.62, worked like a chram, I think its time it should be posted for vb 3.62 as a add-on.

maybe im just retarded or something but i have this all installed or so i think and i dont know how to get it working.

Hi,
I'm a bit confused about the installation.
I downloaded iTrader, unzipped it, uploaded the 'Upload' file and the 'Product XML' file to the 'Public_HTML' folder but now am a bit stumped. The directions say 'Install the iTrader Product via the Plugin Manager.' I'm not sure what the Plugin manager is or where it can be found.
I am disturbingly new to this and am learning as I go. I inhereted this forum from the original owner when he'd had enough. he had iTrader on the forum on his server so the info is in the database and shows on the forum but when you click on it you get an error. I moved to a new server and new vBulletin license so I 'm pretty sure I just need to install the program but am not sure how.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Kest

the plug in manager is in your adminCP at the bottom. click add new plugin and choose the file in the zip with the .xml extention and your good to keep going.

I am using on 3.6.3 and it works great. Would love to see the stuff I talked about incorperated though.
