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:

I like it under the avatar with the rest of the info.

But somehow I managed to add it here:



Outside the dark square, how can I remove it? I've been trying with no luck.

Seems like you have it placed twice, Remove the bottom one or paste your whole postbit_legacy on here.

Does anyone know how to automatically populate the "Deal thread URL:" with the url from the referring thread?

[RedWingFan]

I have encountered a hiccup a few times. We want to go in and edit a user's feedback comment (the public comment), but when we try to save the changes, we get an "Invalid deal URL" error message. And the URL is, indeed, correct. On the one I'm trying to edit now, there's something else odd: the deal URL has a suffix of ....&highlight=queen which means someone pasted that from a URL that came from search results. I tried saving the feedback both with and without the "&highlight=queen" but it still won't take. I hate to delete it and re-enter the feedback like last time, but we may have no choice.

Great system, loved it.

We had to make two major hacks though.

One was to hide buy/sell/other options as on our forums we only allow trades. This was easy to accomplish, just editing the templates and adding a hidden field on the form to specifiy that the transaction was a trade.

The second hack was a major one, though. itrader report system works by sending out an e-mail to all administrators and mods, however on our forums we had setup all alerts to be automatically posted on a special forum that is only available to the mods. Thus we will need to modify the system in order to make it work this way. After I modify itrader_report.php I will probably post it here so other people with a similar problem can enjoy this feature and maybe to the author to add this option on a future release.

Thanks
Gabriel

I wanted a direct link in the navbar, here is what I did.

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="itrader.php?$session[sessionurl]">iTrader</a>

Put it in this area in navbar template.

<!-- nav buttons bar -->
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-top-width:0px">
<tr align="center">
<if condition="$show['member']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[user_cp]</a></td>
</if>
<if condition="$show['registerbutton']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="register.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[register]</a></td>
</if>
$template_hook[navbar_buttons_left]
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="5">$vbphrase[faq]</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="memberlist.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[members_list]</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="itrader.php?$session[sessionurl]">iTrader</a>

If this is a repost please delete, I havent had time to read all 56 plus pages.

Thanks for a great product.

Will this work for 3.6.8?

[Coleccromos]

As I can solve that for example an user in the total list has 40 votes and you enter in the profile and he has 60 or 80 votes.
