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.

Good stuff

Out of interest, what has been updated for 3.7? I have 2.0.1 installed and working fine with 3.7 with a few minor hacks, is it worth upgrading to this version or waiting for your final release?

[Slingblade61]

Works fine for me.

Nice work!

In the new release I've coded it to be a bit more explicit if there is a file vs DB difference, but with this (and previous releases) it just says closed to prevent any issues. I'm assuming you chose the overwite option when you updated? Make sure you are using all the latest files.

Last thing to check would be to enable debug mode on your forum (probably best to close the forum temporarily). Go to your vBulletin Options -> Version Info and Other Untouchables. Then look for iTrader Version Number, it *should* be 2.1.0, if it's not then click the 'edit' link and under the "Default" field change it to 2.1.0 and make sure the Data Validation Type is set to "Free".

If none of that works, let me know, but one of those has to be the problem.

I had the same problem with iTrader not opening. I did the edits you suggested in Debug Mode, but the version would continue to come up as 2. Took a chance and changed it to 2.1.0 right from the form field, without going into Edit, and it took care of the problem. Don't know what that means, or even if that was the smart thing to do, but in case it helps address the problem, figured I'd share. I'm on 3.7.1 PL2.

I have the 2.0.1 installed on my 3.7 board and it works great. I have been looking for a mod like the Itrader Extension though. Is there anyway we can get something like implemented on this one? All of my traders always ask for a top Itraders list of some kind. Itrader is a key part of my forum so that would be really great if you could?

[OsideRida06]

I am putting this new button in my profiles. It is going to be linked to that persons Itrader page. But I cannot for the life of me figure out what to put to link in there. I have went through all the templates looking for all the different links and cannot figure it out.

I have got it to where there is a link but it goes to your own Itrader page. I need it to go to the Itrader page that the profile belongs to.

Does anyone know how I can do this? I would greatly appreciate the help.

I have the same question - where is the itrader page? How do I find that to add feedback?

[Notical Mass]

Is it possible to make some sort of leaderboard that will show who has the highest itrader to the lowest itrader..?

[webcosmo]

Great. Installed it at http://www.webcosmoForums.com

But I am getting little problem showing the iTrader total on the member profile page.

Adding this line on the MEMBERINFO is not working, please suggest:
iTrader: (<b><a href="itrader.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$post[itrader_total]</a></b>)
