Description:
iTrader for vB 3.5.x & 3.6.x 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!!!

Future Additions:

• AdminCP & ModCP Menus for searching IPs, stats, mass-prune, etc

• Page to link two ratings manually
• AdminCP Option to choose how ratings are ordered (asc or desc by time)
• AJAX editing

Well, on this ideia, I would suggest that you could NOT take it out of the hack, but simply add some way for the Administrators to turn ON/OFF those options via the AdminCP. :up:

Yes, please DO NOT remove at all! Please DO add the option in the Admincp :u

Yess! fixes are ALLWAYS welcome!:up:

FANTASTIC! :up: This would make iTrader PERFECT!!! :up: PLEASE do ADD this feature! :up: :up: :up:

Thank you SO VERY MUCH!

I am looking forward to the 3.7 version of this mod. We have been using it for quite a while now at our site and we were really disappointed at the thought of potentially losing it after an upgrade.

I don't have any suggestions for changes. We've been using it just the way it is and it's great for us.

Waiting for a compatible version for the vB 3.7.0 too. This is the last modification which i need befor i start to upgrade...

[dsotmoon]

one question i have: if I upgrade to 3.7 gold and disable this add on until jason releases his new version, there should be no problem upgrading the hack at a later date, right? without losing current feedback, etc?

just want to reasure myself as this is the most used hack on my forums but I want to upgrade this weekend

[murekhalir]

Will be waiting for 3.7.0 version with big anticipation =)

btw - would you do custom paid work after? Wanted to go deeper with this itrader.
