Description:
??????????????????????????????????
Trader Ratings has evolved from my vB2 Buy/Sell/Trade User Rating System. 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 based on the honor system since there is no way to truly tell if they did engage in a transaction. (But I'm working on a way to fix that.) Trader Ratings 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 Buyer, Seller, or Trade
? Leave comments about the deal
? Records date when rating created
? Specify a URL to the deal
? 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)
? Admins & Mods can edit/delete anyone's ratings (just incase)
? Stats page showing best & worst rated members, and recent ratings
? PM notification when a person is rated

Basic Info:
??????????????????????????????????
I haven't written a FAQ or any real documentation yet, but the way the system works is very simple. The only part that might confuse someone is that the Feedback Score is based only on UNIQUE members. Also, there are simple checks in place to make sure they actually do select proper info and enter a comment. A user is not able to rate themself (obviously). Permissions for viewing / rating are similar to standard forum viewing / posting permissions. Also it checks to make sure users exist and all that good stuff.

Installation Info:
??????????????????????????????????
This hack is very simply to implement requiring only:
? 1 new file
? 5 new templates / 2-3 template changes (navbar, posbit/postbit_legacy, MEMBERINFO, memberlist_resultsbit)
? 52 new phrases
? 1 new DB table / 1 table DB change & index

An install/upgrade PHP file is included to do all the template/phrase/DB stuff, so basically you run that, upload the file, and edit your postbit template. BAM!

Screen Shots / Demos:
??????????????????????????????????
See Screenshots below, or you can view them on my forums: My Trader Rating Page

Plans For Future Releases:
??????????????????????????????????

? button on thread that buyer/seller clicks to tie the transaction to two people

Jason,
hi mate - glad to see this hack is getting the popularity it deserves!
I have a problem with my installation.
Please see:
http://www.avforums.com/forums/trade...gs.php?u=12711
I.e.. null dates.
I had the first version of this hack for vB3 installed and upgraded vB to 3.0.3.
So I had to upgrade/reinstall the trader rating hack.
It did crash out (see my posting on the previous page).
Do you know where I went wrong and how to fix it?
Thanks.

When I upgraded to v3.0.3 from v3.0.1, I didn't have to do anything.

Yes, one of the changes in this most recent version was the switch from a date field type to the int field type. The dates had to be regenerated in a new column, and the old column dropped, and indexes updated.

Open up the upgrade_traderratings.php file and look at the very very bottom. The script died at the part where it says:

PHP Code:
$DB_site->query("ALTER TABLE ".TABLE_PREFIX."user_rate_trade DROP INDEX rateduser_2"); 
The easiest thing to do would be to run the four SQL commands after it (assuming you do not have the rateduser_3 index) manually. Like in PHPMyAdmin, or I think you can run SQL from the vB control panel (I've never tried it that way though).

That's the reason all your dates are messed up, it's still trying to read the old date column and process it in the new format. If you still have people using the trader ratings script though, the dates will be missing for any new info that is submitted between the time you tried to update and now. If you have some PHP/MySQL skills then you might want to re-do just "Step 3" in the upgrade, but you will have to drop the datetmp column, and also might want to remove the drop's for the indexes which don't exist...

oldfan - Check the first post, there is a paypal donation link.
