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.

No expected date. Just whenever it's finished.

Hey DJ.....Update.....

My ratings changed. If you do trades regularly with the same person and you continually rate each other, they won't change. Once you get other ratings from other users then it changes.

Looks like I've been fine all along. I've just done too many trades with the same person LOL

You can't see it? You mean there's nothing at itrader.php or your template edits are gone? Remember you have to redo your template edits when you upgrade.

I previously had version 3.6.8 for vBulletin and iTrader 2.0.1. I had vBulletin upgraded to 3.8.0 and then started following the upgrade instructions for iTrader 2.1.0.

I uploaded the files and disabled iTrader then performed a new addon and pointing at the new XML file and selecting overwrite. iTrader was listed as Offline though even with everythng set correctly, including permissions

EDIT - ALL WORKING!!!

I went into debug mode as Jason mentioned on Page 1. I then edited the version number on the first page from "2" to "2.0.1" and hit save. iTrader went from saying offline to working.

Thanks

I think it could be anything at this point. Jason has stated in previous threads that he kind of works on this when and if he has the time. It's one of those things where you know it will get done, but a million things could put it off till later.

That said, the only genuine bug I've run into in this version is the closed iTrader problem, which is pretty easy to fix. Everything else reported has either been user error or something specific to certain forums.

After installation it says it's closed when it's set to open. There's a fix on the first page that takes care of that problem
