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 ...

Another question.... what template do you edit to change the little description on the user postbit.

The deal URL is invalid!

Strict URL Checking?
If 'yes', then ensure that the hostname matches up with this forum and at least one of the two people in the deal was the person who created the thread. If set to 'no' then any url is allowed and only basic syntax will be checked. NOTE: This option works independent of the above setting. If they enter a URL then it is checked based on this option.

so is it good to disable this?

Rumors of a piracy door...

I've been informed lately of a flaw found in the vB 4.x version of this engine, that was put into quarantine until fixed... some possibilities of malicious injections were detected in the 2.8.x version and Entertain fixed them and updated his release last week.

That is no way related to the 2.5 version you're looking at right now?! This 2.5 version was never tagged with any flaw or vulnerabilities. with more than 230 alleged installs and 1300++ downloads, nobody was ever able to report a flaw that would make your site at risk... or it would be in the quarantine right now and i would've correct the problem.

Updates and releases of the vb 3.8x version

It has been 2 years and a half this release was made, and i never had to release an update of it, because from the start it was tagged as "Not Supported". May i remember everyone who claimed to be fooled by me that i was not the one who fooled you here? It was indicated from the start that i released this version to fix the bugs of the latest version, add features and let everyone have access to it to let their 3.8 vBulletin forum up with their iTrader... It was not intended to upgrade its features right away, because i had no time to focus on new features, only bug fixes, which i did for a period - until vB 4.0 though...

so what's up now why i post here again?...

Not to say i will support it here on vB.org, because i am not supporting legacy versions here, it's too complicated. but i am supporting it on my official site. It's paid support, it's not open to "everybody", so i'm not giving it as the ultimate solution... but it's the only thing i can do right now...

i've read that people were grouping to have a paid support and updates for the script... so why not focus on that?! we can discuss about it, for sure. i can work on the 2.5.0 version right now to make it better for vBulletin 3.8.x, and if possible, Entertain would add the changes to his version if found interesting. though, i do not think it would be appropriate to re-release it as a paid script, anyway i'm not interested to do so... it's just my time that is used to pay for the food my 8 kids need everyday...

So, yes, i could add more features if people with a 3.8.x forum are still willing to use iTrader, i just need to see what's more interesting from you.

Can somebody please simply support this product just by patching all the exploits and vulnerabilities? Other than that this works fine. It has some exploits in which has caused my forum to be compromised, malware uploaded, and staff user accounts compromised.

I am willing to give a one way link from my Google authority site. If you know how to code I think it should be simple to patch it up. The entire vB community would be most grateful for your help and support with vBulletin's #1 and most major plugin, iTrader.

I don't believe this is the culprit however I've been known to be wrong on occasion yet from what I understand only the 4.x version was affected and your site is 3.x. Have you considered it might be vBSEO? Your site shows 3.5.2 in the footer, are you aware a exploit was in that code for well over a year and never included in the official product? So with that said at least check into it and ensure you know 100% how your site was hacked before posting such statements of suspicion sound fair enough?

If you have definitive proof of this being the culprit please submit it promptly and staff will review and remove the mod if required just as the 4.x version was recently until patched.
