Hello,
I have a little bug on iTrade:
When I rate someone (me as a seller), the rated user it is displayed as trader.
When I rate someone (me as a trader), the rated user is displayed as a seller.
When I am a seller it is working ok, the other one is a buyer.

To make an example I make a screenshot (I put in the comment what I really am):



Can someone help me?

Is Itrader available and working on 4.07, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 please?

Is Itrader just and enchange thing or can it be used just for "Buy It Now" items too, please?

Many Thanks.

PS. If anyone has a live demo that I could look at, please can you PM me the URL link?

Yes my website runs 4.0.8 so it should work on yours.

iTrader is something that you can use to submit feedback AFTER you've sold/bought something (if the transaction went well, you give them a positive rating, and vice versa for negative) you don't actually sell things with this modification.

Here's a live demo: http://www.zirrage.com/itrader.php?u=4

Thanks Mysterious.

I will register on your forum to take a look.

What do you use it with? I am looking for something, but I only need a "buy it now" section and not auctions or swaps etc.

Thanks.

If you're looking for a mod for your users to make purchases on, try the Point Market System.

Thanks Mysterious,

Not keen on a points system.

I would like forums members of a certain usergroup to be able to start/list an item that has a buy it now.

I would like the transactions to be done between them and not me. I would luike varioos options of payments, including PayPal.

And the iTrader feedback system to work with it.

I used to use vBclassified on 3.x, I have looked at microClassifieds, but it is not for me.

Many Thanks.

Itrader does not do anything like that Welshy. It is merely an enhanced reputation system.

Let me explain, I run a hobby board in the UK. We have a forum set aside for folks who want buy, sell or trade hobby items. These are private transactions between individuals and all the forum offers them is a central location where they can start a thread listing what they want to get/want to dispose, and how they want to do this sell, buy or trade. It's nothing more than just people posting threads. Caveat Emptor applies and everyone knows that these are private transactions and nothing to do with the board. Like you I have looked at MicroClassifieds as a replacemtn for this but found it too cluttered and not very well thought out. So I've decided to stick with the dedicated forum and leave it at that until something better comes along.

In the meantime Itrader allows me to add an extra tab on everyone's profile page that simply indicates how many postive, neutral and negative feedbacks they have received from people who have choosen to leave them a feedback for one of these transactions. It can be link to the transaction by including a URL to the original thread. There is also the option to add a 'leave feedback' button on the first post in a thread in the dedicated forum.

You can leave a postive (plus1), a neutral (0), or a negative (-1) and a comment 85 characters long. Everyone can see these. There is also provision to leave a longer, discussion type message which can only be seen by the two main parties and the admin team. This, I presume, is for dispute resolution issues.

There's not much more to it than that and it does seem to do what it does rather well. I've played with it on my test rig and have just installed in on my live system although I haven't yet let my users live on it. I'm waiting to upgrade to 4.1.3 to ensure that there are no issues with this before I do that.

NOW, how about adding a Northern Ireland flag to you flag mod so I can install it on my site. I'd love to use it but I have a load of Ulstermen who will get miffed with me if I don't give them their flag also!

[Welshy2008]

Thanks Old Git,

I currently have a dedicated forum set up for transactions for members too.

I never realised that this mod can be used with that too.

With regard to the Northern Ireland flag, I have had this requested on my forum too, the problem is that I took over the mod from someone else, and a friend of theirs actually made the flag.

I have also had a request for a yorkshire flag amongst others.


Thanks for your input, would it be alright with you if I could possibly see you forum? would you be kind enough as to PM the URL, please?

Many Thanks.

I am currently running my forum on 4.0.3 -- Is there a way I can download the 2.7.5 version of this mod ?

The latest version does not let me install it on 4.0.3
