Buy/Sell/Trade User Rating System (aka eBay Style User Feedback Hack)
Developer Last Online: Jan 2020 
Buy / Sell / Trade User Rating System (aka eBay Style User Feedback Hack)
Standard Disclaimer: BACKUP YOUR DATABASE & FILES BEFORE IMPLEMENTING THIS HACK!!! Description: This is a rating system for when members buy / sell /trade items from each other. It is based on the honor system since there is no way to truly tell if they did engage in a transaction. However I created this system because it was a pain to try and maintain a single thread listing good / bad traders and so far has worked out quite well. Key Features: - Rate 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 - Admins & Super Mods can delete ratings (just incase) - Pagination (Just for Mist  )Current Version: v1.11 There are instructions in the zip for upgrading from 1.0 -> 1.1 *Note*, I forgot the change of templates "faq" & "faq2" (added as steps 19 & 20), thats why I uploaded v1.11, otherwise everything is the same as v1.1 (If you don't want the little FAQ part, just remove the FAQ link in the getinfo template below the rating stuff) Tested On vBulletin Version: 2.2.9, 2.3.0 (should be compatible with all versions, very simple stuff) To Do List: (Last Edited: 05/01/03) - Send user an email when feedback is left for them - Allow the user who received the feedback to comment on the feedback left for them. (For Neutral/Negative Feeback Only) - Allow optional time limits for how often you can rate someone - Allow all columns to be sortable ASC/DSC - create a sort of wall of fame / shame (check this thread) for more info - have a link so you can find out all the people you rated (and how you rated them) Additions & Changes: 1 File Uploaded 1 Table Added 1 Table Changed 3 Files Changed 10 Templates Added 5 Templates Changed Credits: I can't take the entire credit for this hack, while I did have the idea in my head for a while, I took bits and pieces of code off of the User Ratings hack written by EXCHANGE. Also I would like to give a big thanks to all the members at the Extreme Overclocking Forums that helped me test out this hack as well as give me suggestions for additions and improvements.

Okay, I just posted v1.1 and in the zip there are new user install instructions, as well as upgrade from v1.0 instructions.
If you are upgrading it should only take a couple minutes of your time. You only have to run 1 SQL query, edit 1 file, and do a little template editing. New Features: - You can set the colors & style for the pos/neu/neg bar on the profile page. - Pagination (can be fixed or set to user default page length) - Other variables can be set at the top of the usertrade.php file (like date formatting, who can delete ratings and such) - Profile page has a URL bar added so people can enter in the URL of the deal (it's not a required field), if they do then their comment text becomes hyperlinked, also I cleaned up the formatting a bit and things lined up. - Removed a couple of custom templates that really wern't needed. (and thus you can delete) I think that is it for now. I haven't had time to work on the email notification yet, I need to dig up that function or find out how vB does it so that it can mesh in. You don't have to upgrade from v1.0 if you don't want to, there are no bugs that I know of that could break anything. You are only gaining new features with this release.

drumsy - Oops... I just made up my own FAQ for my site explaining about how it works, I didn't think anyone would really be interested in it, I forgot to remove that link before uploading.
Well, in anycase, I just updated the code and am going to upload it now. I named it v1.11, however the only changes are step 19 & 20 (Changing Templates "faq" & "faq2"). Mist - Man.... after all that work with pagination!!! I thought you would install it just for that feature along! LOL! Has anyone had any problems upgrading from v1.0? I think I made the upgrade instructions pretty clear, but I just wanted to make sure I didn't leave a step out.

It's in the new file. Look at the very bottom of the install_v1.11.txt file, #19 & #20 are the two steps required to add it into your FAQ, then the link on the profile page will work.
Ack... I tried posting the code here, but it replaced all the things with the { }'s...

some questions and suggestions:
1. can you tell me, if some user has the rating "0" and someone gives 2 him negative comment, then user will have "-1" rating or? 2. it will be good to set up in admin panel, how offen one user can comment another. 3. can you make the top of most positive and most negative users? thx.

ExcErr -
1. Yes, a user can (and would in your scenario) have a negative rating if they go below zero. 2. I'm not really sure you would want to restrict it, because I currently have users who are filling out all their trades which include multiple deals with one person. I don't think it makes much sense to say that you could only rate a person once a week or so. If you find a person abusing the system, is that really a person you want on your forum? I could however add in an admin option to prevent a person from rating other people... that would make more sense than limiting how often they can rate other people. 3. That's a good idea, to expand on it a little more, how about if I make it so you can click on any heading to sort on that column in the popup window? That way you could do name, date, etc... Currently there is no sorting, it just lists them as they were entered in the DB... (So I guess you could say it is by date). But that is also why I color-coded it, so you can pick out the negative feedback easier..
