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.

I don't see any of these files uploaded on my FTP. Can someone help me out?

Patrick, postbit and postbit_legacy are templates. Templates are edited through the Style Manager in your vBulletin Control Panel. Go there, then Style Manager, then search those templates and then edit them.

But

I would like it visible in the User Profile page (when someone sends you a PM you can access their Itrader status)

and

When you get a PM from someone

Any tips on how to do that?

Many thanks!

In VB 3.7, just import this simple product: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=178158

How can I attach this to the proper place so they can actually use the program?

You mean to tell me when you click that link, the Submit Feedback for [username] doesn't appear in the iTrader profile? (Note that this link won't appear when viewing your own profile.)

vBulletin 3.0.x -> 3.5.x Upgrade Instructions:

If you previously were using Trader Ratings 1.2.0 on your vB 3.0.x forum and still have all your rating data, you can do a simple upgrade to the new system.

1. Do a new install as per the ALL the instructions above, EXCEPT leave the iTrader system CLOSED (meaning set the "iTrader Active" option to "No").
2. Upload the itrader_upgrade.php file located in the "Extras/admincp" directory to the admincp directory on your server.
3. Login to your admincp and enter the URL to the itrader_upgrade.php file. Follow the instructions carefully!
4. That's it! Verify your data imported successfully and then set the "iTrader Active" option to "Yes" to open the system.

The itrader_upgrade.php wasn't in the zip file so none of the old ratings are there. Everything else seems to have worked fine.

For some reason, it shows I trader on my backend but nothing is appearing on the forum by our names on anyones? What could be wrong?

[TimberFloorAu]

We have this Uninstalled, but read the readme.

New Installation Instructions:

Please follow the following steps IN ORDER, otherwise the install will not work properly and I will not even bother to reply to any of your help requests.

1. Upload ALL the files in the "Upload" directory, including the sub-directories!
2. Install the iTrader Product via the Plugin Manager. The XML file is located in the "Product XML" folder.
3. Edit all the usergroup permissions (all groups default to no access). The iTrader permissions will show up at the bottom of the list.
4. Edit your iTrader options in the vBulletin Options menu. They will be listed at the bottom of the page in their own group.
5. Edit your templates, more info can be found in the Template Info.html file.
6. That's it, your iTrader system should be up and running!

Wonderful, thank you!

Thanks!
