Profile Enhancements - iTrader 2.1.0 (Interim Release)

To hold people over until I get the full updated version with new features released, I'm posting this Interim version that has been tested / updated for vBulletin 3.7.x

There are no new features in this release, it is simply compatability updates and minor bug fixes. There are changes to both files & templates, but no changes to the iTrader tables.

Description:
iTrader for vBulletin 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.

I'm having an issue with one particular users itrader rating not displaying properly. They have 5 positive transactions but their rating is only "4" while other users with 5 positives have a rating of 5.

Again... someone please help.

So this iTrader version doesn't seem too good...why don't we just stick to the old one?

This version works fine, and the old one is in the Modification Graveyard.

I am not having any problems, 3.7.3

Hi

I would like to have iTrader ratings and link to be displayed.

1) In just the classifieds forum (I have got that going, working fine)
2) On member profile pages
3) On PM messages (I am not 100% sure on this and I could live without it if its to much of a pain to manage)

Do you think all that is do-able?

I would ask my web tech to code it

But just wanted to check beforehand in case it was not possible or a bad idea..

Many thanks VB comrades :up:

In the new release I've coded it to be a bit more explicit if there is a file vs DB difference, but with this (and previous releases) it just says closed to prevent any issues. I'm assuming you chose the overwite option when you updated? Make sure you are using all the latest files.

Last thing to check would be to enable debug mode on your forum (probably best to close the forum temporarily). Go to your vBulletin Options -> Version Info and Other Untouchables. Then look for iTrader Version Number, it *should* be 2.1.0, if it's not then click the 'edit' link and under the "Default" field change it to 2.1.0 and make sure the Data Validation Type is set to "Free".

If none of that works, let me know, but one of those has to be the problem.



Easiest way without modifying the code would be to just remove those options in the template where they input a rating.

Fixed my problem on 3.7.3 PL1 perfectly!

Yes this is possible as I have it on my forum version 3.5.7. (pre upgrade) I can't remember the exact code but it is possible.

Check your settings and increase the number of ratings people are allowed to give in a specified time.

Do a "Titles Only" search for iTrader Stats Member Profile.
