Just discovered this product and absolutely love it. Been looking for something like this for a while now and it will be hugely beneficial to my site.

I've installed it on my test rig in my office, on VB 4.1.2 and it appears to be just fine. Although I have a few issues.

1.) With Itrader in the NavBar Sub-menu, the final entry in the drop down menu is not shown. it's is there and is clickable but it appears to be white text on a white background. Can you advise where I can fix this?



2.) When I'm viewing a user through itrader there home link (the house icon just above the tabbed interface) shows House Icon, Itrader, arrow icon, Username. If I click on Itrader it should take me to Itrader main page but it actually links me right back to the users page I'm already on.




3.) I would like to use additional.css to change the colors on some fonts on various pages, mostly in places like blocksubhead or footer. I imagine it'll look something like this..

#usercp_nav .blocksubhead a{
color: #000000;
}

Can you advise what would be the proper code for each page if I PM you links to the various screen grabs?

FInally, can I make a suggestion re the upcoming releases. Rather than cease all major work on thsi product. Might I suggest that you release one more bug fix and then from version 3.0 onwards you take this product off VB.org and make it a chargeable item. Anyone wanting to use it after version 3x needs to pay a flat licence fee. I make this suggestion because I understand your pain at not getting paid for your work...damned if I would work for free! Anyone who has already sent a sizeable donation can have their 3x version for free but all others must pay the licence fee. I am more than happy to pay you for this because this is a practical and essential product worth paying for!

Can someone clue me in to what the menu options 'Find a Buyer' and 'Find a Seller' are actually supposed to do? The 'Browse All Members' option in the menu seems to give a list of all those people who used the 'Your Options' in the menu to fill in the fields 'What Are You Buying' and 'What Are You Selling'. I presume the 'Find a Buyer' and 'Find a Seller' menu items are designed to refine this further by only showing either those looking to Buy or those looking to Sell. Is that correct? If so, it does not seem to work on my 4.1.2 test-site, although I should add that sofar only the Admin account has been configured with the 'What Are You Buying' and 'What Are You Selling' fields.

Is there a way to modify the access permissions to forums and subforums with itrader?

Example, for big transaction forums, the minimum itrader to have access must be "50".

I think this will be a great addition.

Updated:

The solution is using another product like vb experience, but when i activate the plugin, the trade button in postbit dissapears for the creator of the topic.

This was a bug that it was already fixed, so what could be the problem in this case?

Thanks in advance.

[Old-Git]

ANother Bug:

when replying to feedback the text inside the Reply button is picking up it's font colour from the block stylevars rather than from where it ought to get it from.

Also, the problem with show sellers or show buyers not actually listing anything is probably a Firefox 3.8.x issue but I shall investigate further!

Does anyone know if the developer is coming back. I note he has not been on the forum since March 11th and the 2 PM's I sent him last week have gone unanswered...in spite of the fact I was offering him money!

Hi sorry if this was already answered but I have a postbit modification question.

In my postbit it looks like this:

Feedback Score: # of reviews (Percent%)

Which is fine. But what I'd like to do is change the percent color depending on what their review percent is. I'd like it to display like this:

76-100%: Lime Green
51-75%: Yellow
26-50%: Orange
0-25%: Red

Is this possible? If it is, could someone who knows how to edit post the new code here? Thank you so much.

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'itrader_buy' in 'field list'
Error Number : 1054

There is missing the itrader_buy column in your database. I don't know why, but for some reason it was not created. Do you know how to add it manually?

There should be an image for each rating for that... Don't you see it? Usually you only need to set the usergroup permission for that.

There should be an option for that in the admincp settings to pleace the feedback score underneath the post counter.

Has that been fixed in this version?

I don't know understand what previous feedbacks you would like to import/add?

1) There is missing the following phrase "itrader_your_profile" or your itrader_navbar_menu is not up to date.
2) This is an issue I already know, but it doesn't seem to be fixable.
3) You are not able by changing colors on some pages in the css files because there are no conditions for that. You could add css changes in the footer of these pages, but that is a very unclean method.

I am not able to make a paid product out of it, because i am not the original author, who only gave me the permissions to publish these versions for free.

"Find a buyer" and "Find a seller" is currently only conntected with the "Browse all members" link, where you will find these specifications.

This was planned for furher releases, but it is a matter of support by the users why this mod hasn't been enhanced anymore.
