Description of the Hack:
This will provide your vB community with a business directory.

This version is not time limited in anyway and there is no obligation to upgrade to the full version.

I originally stated that I would not release any of my hacks here, however due to popular demand I decided to change my mind and put together a txt documentation so it can be released here.

This version is:

1) be FREE and not time limited in any way without any obligation to upgrade to the full version.

2) only support business directories, hence auctions or classifieds listings will not be available.

3) not include "Buy Now"/"Pay Me Now" buttons.

4) not include paypal intergration.

ZIP UPDATES:
23/3/04
HTL users only: Unfortunatly I just realised that I didnt add the VB Trader FAQ's that are added to your forum FAQ's. This is now fixed in the ZIP and for those who have already installed the VB Trader I will put together an addon pack for you.

FIX REPUTATION ISSUE
open vbt_showlistings
find

PHP Code:

fetch_reputation_image($seller); 


and replace with

PHP Code:

$userperms = cache_permissions($seller[id], false);
fetch_reputation_image($seller, $userperms);

Damage can always be repaired Trafix... it just takes some extra effort that might not have been otherwise necessary. I'm sure you've reviewed this thread by now and know many people are or have been interested in Trader Lite. Some never installed it, some did but later removed it, while others have an incomplete section currently on their sites. I would suggest that this may be a good place to start the rebuilding process.

Hi all,

Now i have a new computer its full steam ahead with the vb trader!

I have inlisted the help of a friend (with thanks) to assist me with completing the search function for the VB Trader.

The following applies:

Can search for keywords in either title or description .... or both
Will only work for MYSQL 4+ .... if your server is using an older version you will need to upgrade .... or ask your server tech to do it for you (whatever applies)
I can estimate that this function will possibly be complete in 3-4 weeks.

Is anything in the works with this. Im not too concerned about a search function just want to allow users to list "items" and have them buyable with site bux(Ushop).

[trafix]

Yes as far as I remember everything does work except for the search ... but that should even be complete in the next couple of weeks

Sorry to disapiont you but the trader is designed to trade with REAL MONEY and not site but .. points or any other form of fum demonination.

I'll confirm that. I recently did a test install and everything worked just fine. It's just the search function that is missing to round out a very nice hack. The only other strange thing I noticed was I couldn't find a way to disable the moderation of new listings (every one needs to be approved by admin). This may be by design or it may be tied in to another setting but I could not find a way to disable it without hacking the code. Other than that, it's ready to use.

I realize that however I imagine it would not take too much to modify it? I will keep an eye on this thread and i guess we will see. Thanks
