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.

Standard Disclaimer:
BACKUP YOUR DATABASE & FILES BEFORE IMPLEMENTING THIS HACK!!!

This add-on will always be free, however your donations are kindly accepted and will help towards further development. The link is on the right under "The Developer" info.

What do you think about how eBay disallows sellers to leave negative feedback if a buyer gives them a negative? I was thinking about implementing a similar feature, so that if one user gives the other a negative, the other person couldn't retialite giving a negative too?

I've never actually had an instance where that has happened on my forum personally. Usually a member will dissapear after getting money from someone and so they leave a negative, but that member also ususally gets banned from the forum anyhow.

That's not a bad idea, actually. We've had this happen several times, using iTrader like a rep system and then turning to the admins to clean up their mess. I think it's logical addition.

Isn't that an error you'd get when you don't have overwrite ticked?

i got it fixed. took me a day and half to figure it out

So those of you who are usuing this now, how well does it work, being an interim release I am skeptical.

[CarterMarkham]

So i installed this, but nothing shows up. I uploaded everything, but its like nothing is there, no links, no numbers under peoples names, no tabs, no nav link. And yes, it is turned on...

Any help in adding a tab in the users profile, and a link in the UserCP menu?

[CarterMarkham]

And I also updated permissions...

[markp_2000]

My forums would revolt if I could not get the up in the new version.

I put together an auto-insertion hack for those interested. In the next go around you can incorporate it if you wish.

The hack is pretty plain jane, but it avoids me having to edit templates.

It is running right now at www.organicgrocerydeals.com.
