Trader Ratings has evolved from my vB2 Buy/Sell/Trade User Rating System. 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 based on the honor system since there is no way to truly tell if they did engage in a transaction. (But I'm working on a way to fix that.) Trader Ratings 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 Buyer, Seller, or Trade ? Leave comments about the deal ? Records date when rating created ? Specify a URL to the deal ? 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) ? Admins & Mods can edit/delete anyone's ratings (just incase) ? Stats page showing best & worst rated members, and recent ratings ? PM notification when a person is rated Basic Info: ?????????????????????????????????? I haven't written a FAQ or any real documentation yet, but the way the system works is very simple. The only part that might confuse someone is that the Feedback Score is based only on UNIQUE members. Also, there are simple checks in place to make sure they actually do select proper info and enter a comment. A user is not able to rate themself (obviously). Permissions for viewing / rating are similar to standard forum viewing / posting permissions. Also it checks to make sure users exist and all that good stuff. Installation Info: ?????????????????????????????????? This hack is very simply to implement requiring only: ? 1 new file ? 5 new templates / 2-3 template changes (navbar, posbit/postbit_legacy, MEMBERINFO, memberlist_resultsbit) ? 52 new phrases ? 1 new DB table / 1 table DB change & index An install/upgrade PHP file is included to do all the template/phrase/DB stuff, so basically you run that, upload the file, and edit your postbit template. BAM! Screen Shots / Demos: ?????????????????????????????????? See Screenshots below, or you can view them on my forums: My Trader Rating Page Standard Disclaimer: ??????????????????????????????????

Hey Guys,
Sorry about this, but my trader ratings has broken. I have checked and dbl checked all the templates, re-uploaded traderratings.php in binary and have pulled 3/4 of my hair out.... now i am begging for help. The main page displays fine - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/for...ings.php?u=124 But if you want to leave feedback - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/for...24&do=feedback The source of that page is 100% empty.... i dont know whats going on. Thanks for any assistance. Christian |

Can you please tell me where and what code to add for this... Cheers. |

In the first bit of the code you will find this option: Code:
// Require users to enter a URL when submitting feedback define('TRATING_REQ_URL', 0); |

Here's a problem I noticed.
I have a user who had some bad deals, so he got some negative feedback. However, he also had some good deals as well. The problem is that he had more good than bad deals, so he still has a +2 rating. If people don't look at his rating in detail, they may think he's good to go and purchase from him, even though he may be committing fraud. The solution would be to change the way the ratings are calculated. Instead of just +1 or -1, it would be smarter to do it like eBay does - 100% less any negative marks. In this case, he might have 4 good and 2 bad. Instead of having a +2 rating, he would have a 66% rating, where everyone else would have 100%. How hard would it be to change the way this hack does the math? I would be very interested in seeing it like this. Besides, people are used to how eBay works, so this would make a lot more sense to more people. |

Okay, I tried to make the 100% score thing work by changing the math:
In traderratings.php, on line 460 Old: $tradeall = $userinfo[tradepos] + $userinfo[tradeneu] + $userinfo[tradeneg]; New: $userinfo[tradescore] = 100 / $userinfo[tradepos] + $userinfo[tradeneg] * $userinfo[tradepos]; The problem is that I get a division by zero error on the traderratings.php page. However, I believe the math is correct. Now how can I make this work? I'm no PHP programmer so I'm gonna have a very hard time making that work. So what is the @$userinfo[tradepcnt] = (1 - ($userinfo[tradeneg] / $tradeall) ) * 100; line for? Does that do what I want already? (line 465) |
