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.

Also, I can't figure out how to add it as sortable on the memberlist...

There's no way for either at the moment.

[MTGDarkness]

Wouldn't the first one just be if (<whatever the itrader ratings variable is> !=<something signifying emptyness>) or something like that?

[DarkFormula]

Can anyone send me the "itrader_upgrade.php" file? It is NOT included with the zip file attached to the author's post. Thanks.

Here we go.

<if condition="$post[itrader_total]!=0"></if>

That will make it so that the iTrader rating will not show up if the total rating does not exist (or is neutral, but for most cases, negative ratings will lead to questioning...). I dunno, I think it's useful.

The upgrade.php file was for people upgrading from 1.2.0 on vB 3.0, to vB 3.5. Is that what your doing?

Guess it didn't hurt to try it out.

I was running Trader Ratings 1.2.0 on Vb 3.0.8 and am now running iTrader 2.1.0 on Vb 3.7.4. Everything works, but I need to import the original tables and such so people get their ratings back.

[ScienceOfMuscle]

Does this work pretty fluidly with 3.8 RC2? I really like the hack, but hope to avoid any pitfalls some have had problems with while installing it in 3.8.

[DarkFormula]

Obviously it's missing something integral for 3.7, so who knows if it works for 3.8.
