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.

Anyone? I'll be upgrading to 3.7 as soon as it goes Gold and iTrader is the only thing I have worries over at the moment - my users use is a lot! Thanks.

I am confused though..what support is needed? An upgrade to 3.7? Don't upgrade your forum so darn quick..simple as that.

I hope Jason does know that there are plenty of people ( including myself ) who would pay premium prices for a possible "gold" version of this mod.

[MikeWarner]

I certainly would pay for it. From what I can tell though, this should work fine on 3.7 anyway. Can anyone back this up?

[DieselTruck]

Im running 3.7 RC 2 on my Test Site. So far so good!

[Spinball]

Just to chip in, this is one of the most important mods we have. I would also chip in some $ to maintain or enhance it where needed.

Forgive me if this has already been asked but I haven't been able to look through ALL of the pages of this thread.

In the Marketplace section of my forums I already had a sub-forum called Buyer & Seller Feedback. Since my users were already familiar with going to this location, I wanted to change the forum to a direct link to itrader_feedback.php. It works fine for the admins, but no one else even though their permissions are set vie the iTrader settings in the individual usergroups.

I'm guessing that linking directly is bypassing a check somewhere and the admins just override that? Can anyone help me get this link functioning properly?

[Jase2]

Tested and seems to be working fine on 3.7.

I'll try contacting the orginal coder today, then if he gives me permission -- I'll release for 3.7, as well as taking requests for new features.

[MikeWarner]

Nice one Jase. No new features really needed though - although integration into the new profile layout would be good, maybe give it a tab of it's own on the main profile page.

Awesome. I think a rebuttal system would be good. Basically the closer you can get ot to ebay the better.
