End-User Options - iTrader 2.5.x

The former iTrader version released here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=182400 is now in the graveyard, and even if people don't know why it was posted there, the reason is this actual release. In the last months, i took-over Jason's work, and rebuilt a new version (upgrade and new), so the engine is easier to support, have more features, packed with all known additions and is debugged as much as possible.

This is my first release on vb.org for ages, not the last one. i'm actually tagging this release as supported, but this is only for DEBUG. features requests and customizations will have to be made on the official site.

So, what is iTrader:

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

• Gio~logist's Main Page is now integrated fully

Attachment 98980

• A new Profile Tab

Attachment 98978

• 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... I'm reading this thread for questions, but the technical support (customization etc) will be given only on http://vbEnhancer.com... 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 ...

Browse http://vbEnhancer.com to see how iTrader interact... and click "installed"...

Fixes:
1- no version change, but fixed Forums Where Feedback Score is shown, thanks to breakpoint for reporting bug!
2- no version change, but fixed a database error when submiting feedback, thanks to gronph for reporting bug!
3- no version change, but fixed a typo that was causing to display no link in the postbit and no % of rating. you have to re-import the product file, nothing else!
4- no version change, but fixed a database error when submiting negative feedback, thanks to breakpoint for reporting bug! (was reported 3 times more, but never had the error, so was unable to fix!)
5- no version change, fixed an existing array_merge that was making CMPS unhappy... thanks to gnatster for reporting it!

for people having the old version installed on their site, you DO NOT NEED to uninstall the old version... if you do, you loose all feedbacks. just update, like anyother update.

if you NEED the original plugins, here they are: http://vbenhancer.com/jasons-itrader-archive/

also, as indicated at my official site, i'm not supporting the old version or any older vBulletin but the 3.8.x ... the original 2.1.0 version is working fine on 3.7 and older:

i am not supporting vB 3.6.x, but the engine will do fine... you just have to edit the product-itrader.xml file and change the line

        <dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="3.8.0" maxversion="" />

to this:

        <dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="3.6.0" maxversion="" />
