Trader Ratings has evolved from my vB2 Buy/Sell/Trade User Rating System. 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 based on the honor system since there is no way to truly tell if they did engage in a transaction. (But I'm working on a way to fix that.) Trader Ratings 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 Buyer, Seller, or Trade ? Leave comments about the deal ? Records date when rating created ? Specify a URL to the deal ? 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) ? Admins & Mods can edit/delete anyone's ratings (just incase) ? Stats page showing best & worst rated members, and recent ratings ? PM notification when a person is rated Basic Info: ?????????????????????????????????? I haven't written a FAQ or any real documentation yet, but the way the system works is very simple. The only part that might confuse someone is that the Feedback Score is based only on UNIQUE members. Also, there are simple checks in place to make sure they actually do select proper info and enter a comment. A user is not able to rate themself (obviously). Permissions for viewing / rating are similar to standard forum viewing / posting permissions. Also it checks to make sure users exist and all that good stuff. Installation Info: ?????????????????????????????????? This hack is very simply to implement requiring only: ? 1 new file ? 5 new templates / 2-3 template changes (navbar, posbit/postbit_legacy, MEMBERINFO, memberlist_resultsbit) ? 52 new phrases ? 1 new DB table / 1 table DB change & index An install/upgrade PHP file is included to do all the template/phrase/DB stuff, so basically you run that, upload the file, and edit your postbit template.

Drumsy - Yeah, that happened to one other peson, because the indexes were missing beforehand.
You will need to manually run the following SQL statements to complete the upgrade: Code:
ALTER TABLE user_rate_trade DROP userdate; ALTER TABLE user_rate_trade CHANGE datetmp userdate INT(10) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL; ALTER TABLE user_rate_trade ADD INDEX rateduser_2 (rateduser,userdate,userrating); ALTER TABLE user_rate_trade ADD INDEX rateduser_3 (rateduser,userbuysell,userdate,userrateid); |

Actually I just commented out those lines and refreshed the screen. Seems to have worked! :thumbup:

commented out? I hope you mean the code above the alter table lines I posted previously? You have to let it drop the old userdate table and rename the new one because of how time is stored and utilized in the new version.

Correct. I commented everything from the lines dropping those columns and above. All of the additions went through successfully.

Okay, last night I couldn't sleep so I pondered on the part of making verified deals, and conceptually here's what I have come up with:
1. In your forum's FS/WTB section, whenever a user makes a new thread, the first post has an additional buton somewhere. Not sure of the name yet, maybe "Deal" or "Buy/Sell" or whatever... 2. Anyhow, people can reply to the thread as usual, however when someone agrees to purchase/sell said item, they click on the button in the first post. This does two things. First - it closes the thread and prepends the thread title with "SOLD -". Second - It creates a relationship between the user who clicked the button, and the person who posted the thread. (Maybe have an intermediary page that confirms that they do indend to purchase/sell said item and must check a box before confirming.) 3. It will send a PM to both people, just as notification of the transaction. Also in each member's trader ratings page it will have a "pending transactions" link. 4. Under the pending transactions page it lists people who they have done the steps above. If neither person has rated each other, there will be a "cancel" button, however both parties much cancel for it to actually take place, then the original thread will automatically be reopend and title changed back. If one person rates the other, then neither can cancel the deal. They will also have a preset amount of time to rate the other person before the opportunity is lost. 5. The old rating still will still be in place, however they will be considered "unverified" deals. With the steps mentioned above, they will be considered "verified" deals, since there is a link back, they clicked the link with the knowledge of engaging in the transaction, etc... Overall this shouldn't be too difficult to implement, and I think will enhance this hack a lot. Please give your feedback & suggestions as it's easier to make changes before I start writing/changing any code... |

I love it except for one minor detail that may create problems.
Say for example someone does in fact clicks the button and then decides they don't want to purchase the item. What will take place? I mean like eBay for example once you use Buy It Now, technically the same deal, if someone doesn't pay, they force being left negative feedback and the seller has to re-list or re-post the item. So with this, are we making the buy/sell relationship that strict whereas the person buying will in turn have no choice after they hit the button and confirm, and they must purchase or have no choice but recieve negative feedback. My main point is how strict in fact the button will be. I love the idea of after clicking the button it closes the thread and PMs both users but I just don't want people to be forced into deals as a result of clicking the button. I guess actually maybe it won't matter and this whole post was meaningless because as long as you can be clear with how it will work to your forum members, it shouldn't be that much of a problem. |

Ok nevermind. I decided to skip reading #4 and #5 and decided to just start typing without reading your whole post
That actually makes it alot better with those options and doesn't necessarily lock them into a deal. |
