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.

Thanks!

It's in the file that has the template edits.

Is the author still working on the mod? any issues with vBulletin 3.7.3 or vBSEO 3.2.0?

INSERT INTO itrader SELECT userrateid as rateid, userid, rateduser as rateduserid, userrating as rating, userbuysell as buyselltrade, usercomments as subject, userurl as dealurlpopulation, userdate as dateline, '0.0.0.0' as ipaddress FROM user_rate_trade;

that's a really good mod, but i need 2 features:

1) I nedd that iTrade don't send me an e-mail for the troubles with the rates, but that it write a new thread in a specified forum, with that features, all my moderator and admins can look and fix troubles, suspicious and negative rates!

2) i need to add rates arbitrary from the ACP, to add the old feedback that i've in a forum

thank's for all

Can someone help me here since I don't know nothing about codes and so on??????????

This is in the manual::

Template Instructions:

Two fields are added to the "user" table to facilitate rating usage pretty much anywhere you please within the forum. The two fields are:

* itrader_total - iTrader Score (stored as an integer)
* itrader_pcnt - Percent Positive Feedback (also stored as an integer)

Most likely you will want to add the score info to the postbit and/or postbit_legacy template(s), MEMBERINFO, and memberlist_resultsbit template. Actual placement and style is entirely up to you, however here's a sample to get you started. Note that the MEMBERINFO & memberlist_resultsbit templates won't need the conditional around the text since you can't view a "guest" in those cases.

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

Additionally it would be wise to have some sort of link that is easily accessible to your members so they can view their own ratings. My suggestion would be to add some code in the navbar or usercp menu somewhere. If no userid is specified then the system defaults to the user's own iTrader page.

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

Use your imagination where you want these links to be visible, there's nothing set in stone where it should be display or how it should look. Some people wanted the percent score so I added in this version. You can get creative and use some stars or something based on their score or positive ranking.

Please tell me in detail what I have to do?
Thanks

It already does. You have to decide where you want to put the blocks of code, and which one's you want to use. It recommends your MEMBERINO, postbit or postbit_legacy templates. If you don't know what those are then you need to review the manual on editing templates: http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/s...edit_templates

If you don't know any HTML at all, then your going to to have to let us know where you which type of link you want and where you want it, so we can tell you what to look for and where to put it. (And I'd recommend learning basic HTML, which is not too difficult to pick up with a Google Search, and essential for administrating vBulletin.)

Is this Plugin dead? Im on the fence about installing it... My forum really needs something like this.

[Digital Jedi]

What do you mean by "dead"?
