Trader Ratings - A user feedback hack
Copyright ?2004 Jason Rabel, All Rights Reserved. __________________________________ Latest TR Verson: 1.2.0 vB Versions: 3.0.0 - 3.0.9 Author: Jason Rabel Contact: PM me here, I'll respond.

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: ??????????????????????????????????

... Damn ... It still doesn't work.
My members still can't get any acces to the Feedback System, and I double checked and changed the 'config' 1000 times, but nothing came out... Might try a re-install.... Which tables do I need to remove from my database? And does it effect the code I inserted to the postbit etc. |

Clicks install :devious:
Cool hack, thanks... I havent enabled it yet for forum members as I am sure it will be abused though! Verification Could you not use the same method vBulletin uses for Account Activation. The seller and buyer both get an email/PM with a link to the Add Rating page? The activation id passed in this url could be replaced with a 'Give Trader Rating' id. Process I liked the idea where..
What I like about this is that the entire wheeling and dealing is done in public and is testamony to a sale. If they go off and deal via their PM's then they dont get the opportunity to UP their Trader Rating. Logicaly thinking, this isnt hard to achieve - if you know your way round vB that is! |

Hey everyone, soory I haven't been around much, just have had lots of other things to deal with. I need to get some files online for some people to upgrade from older versions (I haven't forgotten about you guys).
As for kristian's post - Yes, that has been discussed before. But there is a lot of "what if" scenarios in that. And also will probably end up being a lot of code hacking. I'm trying to keep this version of trader ratings very simple and clean. In the future (one day) I'm hoping to make a classified/auction add-in, that way I can tailor it how I want and not have to hack up a dozen vB files in the process. (I'm never a fan of file hacks because it just makes one more step when doing upgrades). Also I'm hoping to extend an optional module that will allow trader-ratings to be somewhat centralized and cross-forum capable. |

@eoc_Jason... i've built a good module for CMPS interacting with your script:
