End-User Options - iTrader version 2.5.0, new generation now released

As announced last month, here we are today with the launch of the next generation of iTrader, version 2.5.0.

The tradition continue, we're proud to announce that vbEnhancer is now the official host of iTrader, with a new structure, more addons and a cleaner code for the future versions.

This is just an update, because for 2.5.0 we were focussing in centralizing all the existing addons for the old 2.1 version, and we made it clear that it would be easier with a smooth update for the existing clients and an easy spleen for the new players.

So, what do we get in the box?

All the files are now cleaned and easier to debug, here is the setting page in the vBulletin Options:

• Gio~logist's Main Page is now integrated fully
• A new Profile Tab
• Completely and only compatible with vBulletin 3.8 generation
• Refurbished templates, with new icons for ranking (positive, negative, neutral)
• Option in your Profile Settings so you can show that you are selling/buying something
• Force display of iTrader infos in specific forums
• Display of iTrader Feedback Score in postbit

The thumbnail attached shows the extensive list of settings you can manage thru the regular path. as you can see, some new features have settings in the bottom of that page, they are good to look at.

And here is the form you see when you submit a new feedback regarding one of the transaction you've been involved in.


all without any template or file edit...

You want to upgrade, or install as new?

Easy, if you have not used any of the addons released on vBulletin.org, you simply have to upload all the new files, overwriting the old ones, and uploadthe product file, allow overwriting the product, so it upgrade to the latest.

If you have used any addon that required template edits, like the old version of Giologist Profile block or his Main Page, or if you used MagnetiCat's Profile Tab, you will need to uninstall these first, and hopefully, we provide all these versions in the Jason's iTrader Archive forum on top of this... (just follow the opposite of the instructions!)

So, that's it... there is not much new instructions, as now the entire engine is self documented... you can always post a question in this forum, so you are answered as soon as needed... but also, what's fun, is that we ask for your requests, suggestions, needs; because we want to make the engine even better for the next version, which will jump to number 3.0 ...

I saw in postbit_display_complete:

$this->post['itrader_total']

How can I replace that with tradepos and tradeneg?

(to do what mandrinvborg was asking)

I'm wondering the same thing. Site's down... been down for a little while too.

Anyone know what's happened to vbenhancer? I'd like to install iTrader on my site, but without a dedicated support/website to go to I'm a little hesitant to install.

I had to pay for this. He commercialized it and you had to have a key to download it which you had to pay for. I noticed that the site had dissapeared too. I have since upgraded to vB4 but I still have the files

Thanks!!

I'm with you!

I've downloaded the latest version posted here on vBulletin.org (v2.5.0), but there's no readme.txt file documenting the installation process. I know from reading the posts in this discussion thread that we are supposed to upload all the files/contents of the "upload this" folder to our respective servers/locations, but is that it? Do we then go into our AdminCP and install the plugin using Plugins & Products > Manage Products > Add/Import Product? If so, what file do we upload... product-itrader.xml? These may sound like dumb questions, but for the inexperienced/novices, getting the answers to these can mean the difference between giving our respective forum members what they want and not.

I know vbenhancer has said he isn't here to explain how to install mods, but I wonder how he would have felt if others had that attitude when he first started using vBulletin. Besides, including a simple readme.txt file outlining the installation and maybe some FAQ would easily answer a lot of the simple questions and would be worth it just to avoid the rash of support queries.

What was the difference between the 'free' version posted here and the commercial version? Did it have more features or greater support?

I keep checking to see if vbenhancer's site is back up and running, but no luck so far.

It's a real shame too. A lot of the big-name forum sites are successfully running iTrader. It's a great mod, one that is obviously considered of great importance. It's just a shame the support has essentially disappeared.

how can I view what topic is linked to the feedback?
