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!!!

That did it. Thanks!!!

Is it possible to edit who can view the detailed comments, say on a usergroup basis?

For example a usergroup permission "can view detailed comments"

just wondering

[eoc_Jason]

mrderanged - Yes, you could add another setting in the itrader usergoup, all you have to do is modify the XML file, then rebuild your usergroup permissions, then add in permission checks at the various places.

is there a way to get the search member option like in the older hack? or how bout a list of positive feed backs?

[Trana]

What permissions do I need to change after the upgrade from 3.0.7 to 3.5? I found the one to allow view and ratings (Usergroup Manager, near the top), but my test user still can't view my own rating.

Any ideas?

One of the places i've implemented it so far is in the popup menu for a username. Underneath the Homepage, Send X a Private message etc.

Agreed. I have it installed, but I'm not able to use it at all.

there are many places throughout this thread showing the codes to use and where to put them

[agiacosa]

Folks,

Does has anyone put together a rating dispute policy that they would care to share?

Thanks.

[Trana]

Nevermind, I figured out what I was doing wrong.

hi guys i installed this tonight and all my old Trader Rating data migrated over perfectly!

just one question, i want the menu link to go to the Top traders list, not just your own feedback.

the existing code in my navbar template is;

<a href="itrader.php?$session[sessionurl]">Trader Rating</a>

what should i change it to?

Also can anyone recommend a good way to add this to peoples profile pages?
