Description:
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Trader Ratings has evolved from my vB2 Buy/Sell/Trade User Rating System. 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 based on the honor system since there is no way to truly tell if they did engage in a transaction. (But I'm working on a way to fix that.) Trader Ratings 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:
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
• Rate another 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
• 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)
• Admins & Mods can edit/delete anyone's ratings (just incase)
• Stats page showing best & worst rated members, and recent ratings
• PM notification when a person is rated

Basic Info:
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
I haven't written a FAQ or any real documentation yet, but the way the system works is very simple. The only part that might confuse someone is that the Feedback Score is based only on UNIQUE members. Also, there are simple checks in place to make sure they actually do select proper info and enter a comment. A user is not able to rate themself (obviously). Permissions for viewing / rating are similar to standard forum viewing / posting permissions. Also it checks to make sure users exist and all that good stuff.

Installation Info:
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
This hack is very simply to implement requiring only:
• 1 new file
• 5 new templates / 2-3 template changes (navbar, posbit/postbit_legacy, MEMBERINFO, memberlist_resultsbit)
• 52 new phrases
• 1 new DB table / 1 table DB change & index

An install/upgrade PHP file is included to do all the template/phrase/DB stuff, so basically you run that, upload the file, and edit your postbit template. BAM!

I also have my usual daily work load that I have to do, and a few other on-the-side jobs have been taking up my free time. So unfortunatly I haven't been able to put as much time into this as I was planning. It happens, what can I say.

I know a lot of people are wanting this for 3.5.0 (including my forum members), so I'm going to try to finish up the code and remove what's not working at the moment so that I can release at least something to you guys. It will have more features than what the 3.0.x version has, but just not all the cool stuff that I was hoping to have in the initial release.

Thanks for the update Jason. I just wish I was a coder, and I could help you. This MOD will be absolutely PERFECT for my B/S/T site. As anxious as I am, I know that everyone has real lifes and there are real demands in life that *MUST* come first before hobbies like this, so as much as it kills me to say it, I'm all for you dealing with your real life demands first. We can all wait, or if we can't, we can use 3.0.9 and your current mod (or learn to MOD it ourselves ).

Take it easy!
KidneyBoy

Hey guys, didn't want to leave you hanging. This past week I've been pretty sick with some crud (sinus / cold), and have been taking medication (and lots of NyQuil) trying to rest up and get better. I'm still under the weather but today I've been trying to do a little work.

I don't think I will have the thread verification implemented in the first release, still kind of quirky and trying to find the problem. Also moderation options will only be in the AdminCP initially till I do my research on how to implement stuff in the ModCP (since it's different).

Getting very close now to a release. I'm mostly fixing some template, phrase, and PM issues. Also making sure everything is set under the proper product.
