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.

Post your question and answer in case anyone else runs into it

Pretty simple...if you don't actually install ALL the files into the proper places, it won't work. lol

The Upload folder includes:

.php files: These go in your root directory on the site (where all the other php files are at)
AdminCP folder: these files go in the AdminCP directory on your site
Images folder: these files go in the Images directory on your site

Yeah, I'm a newbie, but now that I've figured it out, I'm installing hacks & mods like crazy. LOL Yes, I'm really Oh So Blonde!!!

How would I go about limiting its use (or its view, for that matter) to a single specific forum only?

Well, you could use conditionals to show the postbit ratings in one specific forum, as well as any navbar links. But the mod itself isn't forum specific. Ratings are given to users and on it's own page.

Could you tell me how to do the former, please? I really only want it "showing" outside of the forum it's meant to be utilized in. Thanks.

Is there a way to prevent specified usergroups having a trader profile?
Have tried for a while with is_member_of but it seems I can only prevent
users of specified usergroups seeing trader profile.

Thanx for any help.

Here's a list of template conditionals that should help you:

It tells you which templates to add them to. You then put them wherever you want them to appear.
