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.

Since Jason is no longer supporting this hack and hasn't visited vBulletin.org since Spetember '06, does someone else want to take up this hack and develop it further?

That would be nice, but someone or the one who would take up this should try to contact him.

He can be contacted here: http://www.extremeoverclocking.com/contact_info.php


Apart from this one question.

I'm thinking about a further control in the hack like this:

control if the user who rates has posted at least once in the thread he name for the rating.

any idea who the statement should look like?

Another interesting option would be a moderation queue for ratings (maybe only for users that have less than x positive ratings).

How can I change which usergroup # receives the suspicious activity and negative rating emails?

Thanks!

Edit all the usergroup permissions (all groups default to no access). The iTrader permissions will show up at the bottom of the list.

i am sorry but I am a newb to vb but I dont understand this step in the read me file. Is it telling me to edit usergroup permissions for forum permissions or which ones sorry im confused.

The same issue happens with any user... It does not allow me to leave any feedback for any members. what exactly went wrong???

I really need to figure this out, any help???

[hitboy]

one thing you might consider is not reposting 10 minutes later everyone needs help lol and its probably a firewall on your server ask your host
