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.

Standard Disclaimer:
BACKUP YOUR DATABASE & FILES BEFORE IMPLEMENTING THIS HACK!!!

This add-on will always be free, however your donations are kindly accepted and will help towards further development. The link is on the right under "The Developer" info.

Just this.

<div>iTrader: (<b><a href="itrader.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$post[itrader_total]</a></b>)</div>

Hey, thanks, I tried implementing that piece of code in my header (at least there I will be able to find it (I have no idea about all the particular templates and how they are displayed) and it produced the following:

iTrader: ()

So I guess I've gone wrong somewhere.

Here is what I have done so far:

All the contents of the includes folder => includes folder on server
iTrader folder within the images folder => images folder on server
Contents of the admin cp folder => into the admincp folder on my server

I then installed the product xml via the product manager (wouldn't let me install it as a plugin (as directed by the instruction file).

I changed the usergroup permissions, configured the iTrader options and then edit my postbit_legacy template to include: <div>iTrader: (<b><a href="itrader.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$post[itrader_total]</a></b>)</div>

And nothing. Perhaps this isn't designed for someone with next to no intuition when it comes to programming!

If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated, otherwise I guess I will just cut my losses.

You are doing very well, but there's other templates. Read the template info.html file supplied within the download package. It walks you through every edit you need to make.

[domaino]

Hey.

Yeah, sorry, should have noted, I have already done the edits on the templates and nothing doing. I have removed the conditional from the MEMBERINFO and memberlist_resultsbit templates and included it in the postbit template. I have done all the necessary edits but still I don't see any trader ratings; all I see is:

iTrader ().

Anyway, thanks for your help. But I think this one is for someone who actually knows what they're doing

Cheers.

Everything takes time when hacking code. Never try to rush because this is where mistakes happen. Good thing is, mostly everything is able to be fixed. Good job.

I have instaled iTrader on my board, and some members have over 5 trades submitted in their iTraders, but only 5 trades are showing up when they post.

[Jah-Hools]

I have it installed and organized so that the Itrader totals and logo are only visible in the classified section.

But I have run into a problem where sellers are unable to find buyers to leave feedback..

Can you think of a solution?

Perhaps have is visible in the user profile data fields?

I dont really want the Itrader data visible out in the main forums..

Thanks

I must be doing something wrong. I uploaded the FTP files and installed the XML product, and activated it under the "General VBulletin Settings", but I don't see one new thing on my website. Where is it?

Check your downloaded install package. There is a template configuration .html file in there you need to read to set the variables on the templates you want this to show up on.

Thanks soundbarrier. I've added the link, but now when it loads the trader.php it is blank. I think it is because it is not passing the session data. $session[sessionurl] is a NULL value for some reason:

Under NAVBAR:

<if condition="$show['quick_links_groups']">
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="trader/itrader.php?$session[sessionurl]">iTrader</a></td></tr>
</if>

Any ideas?

Oh FYI, I had to create a sub folder "trader", because if I didn't, it would have rewritten all the images & admincp that's already on my server! Did anyone else notice that?
