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.

How about your suspicious activity emails? Have you tried assigning someone to test the system to see if you receive this email?

hi DJ, had you been able to look further into the % or Total points issue?

Jason, I've got iTrader 2.0.1a installed on one of my forums and when strict URL checking is enabled, the system won't allow a moderator to modify any member ratings (they are not one of the members who started the referenced trade thread). The itrader_checkurl() function is always returning an invalid URL.

I checked the current 2.1.0 release and the function code did not change, so I assume the problem remains with the current version.

Any idea how I could modify the function so that moderators (super mods/admins) can modify ratings?

No luck so far.

Last night we upgraded our forum from 3.7.3 to 3.7.4. Now when someone tries to submit a feedback via iTrader, it tells them they do not have permission.

I tested it out as Admin and tried to leave feedback for another user. It allowed me to leave it but then it posted the feedback I left for the other member to MY feedback.

Any suggestions on how to restore this to work properly?

Looks like the settings were reset, go into the "Usergroup Manager" and set the "iTrader Permissions" to each usergroup permissions...

I am having trouble getting the proper trader rating to display on the postbit template. If you go to:

http://www.leanbulk.com/forum/waterc...g-fitexpo.html

As you see, the member Sonny has a rating of 9 being displayed, but if you click the number and look at his actual ratings he has 18. It hasn't been updating for a couple months now. Does anyone have any ideas?

thats because in the iTrader Options you have it set to ebay style rating (one point per unique user ) you need to change this option to NO and that will solve ur problem.


has anyone made their own memberinfo_block for this? so that it could be diplayed in a block on the right hand side along with the others?

I think if you move the existing iTrader Profile block add-on to the area where the right columns display it will display the same way.
