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 ...

i always say that a kick on the bucket can help a little... fishy

Used this to replace the old version of iTrader on my recently upgraded forum (3.6.8 -> 3.8.4), works flawlessly with the existing database of iTraders I already had. Thanks for taking over this project.

Hello, I am still having the internal server problem, whenever you click to give feedback, you get an internal server error.

I realize that this modification is not supported, but would you please help me? Thank you (:

[vbenhancer]

what is that internal error "exactly"...?

[WebkinzCoast]

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@************.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Apache/2.2.11 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.11 OpenSSL/0.9.8i DAV/2 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at ************.com Port 80

That's the screen that comes up when I click to give feedback, or anything else for iTrader.

I am using 3.8.4, thank you for the quick response (:

[vbenhancer]

error 404, you did not install the files in the right location... the installation have to start on the same location as your forum, and as it's a 404 error, do not tell me that the files are there... the server can not lie.

[WebkinzCoast]

I thought the 404 was found (no pun intended) because the ErrorDocument is not working properly? "404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument" I uploaded the files to the root, and in all of the sections. root*/forums/.... I'll try re-uploading through a different client.

[vbenhancer]

that other error means that you have no file to display when there is a 404 error... *(usually 404.shtml) ... that has nothing to do with the 404 itself...

remember, you have to upload what's inside the "upload_this", not the folder itself... also, you need to keep the actual structure with the folders inside.

a different client will not change a thing, the server indicate clearly a missing file, not a misformed or a no-accessible file...

[WebkinzCoast]

Thank you for your help (: I have a skiddish question though, for the itrader.php file, and the other five files, do I just upload those to the /root*/forums/ section? Or do I just upload those to the root? Thank you (:
