If you have installed other hacks that modify either of those, then I'm sorry but I can't help you out there. My hack is very simplistic and uses default vB variables for generatig most of the data.

{sigh}

I was afraid you were gonna say that. Oh well, I guess I'll have to uninstall/revert back. Thanks anyway!

Is there anyway to click under the username or something to actually leave feedback, the only way I been doing it is by clicking on the users trader rating number. Hoping to put like an icon or summit somewhere.

And how what file do I edit to add it so they need to enter a URL when doing a trade/sale. And can I speify that it has to come from a specific Forum

very nice.

You will have to be more specific when you say "click under their username to leave feedback". What page are you talking about? A screenshot would help. The reason I have the "leave feedback" info on the TR page is so that people see the rest of the info on the page too.

As for making URLs required, there is only one php file to edit (traderratings.php), just change (in two places):

Block Disabled: (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

to

Block Disabled: (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Also you might want to edit the template to show that it is a requried field. However keep in mind that right now I don't do any URL checking, so they could enter totally bogus info and it wouldn't know any better.

Thanks for that mate

The bit I am meaning is the bit highlighted here mate. Its the only way a user can leave feedback for my other users is by clicking on that. Is there any way to add an add feedback bit somewhere.

Also, how do I make it for a certain user group only.

eoc_Jason · #**217** 20 Jul 2004, 21:08

Sure you can make a "leave feedback" link anywhere... Just look at the URL structure in the TR template and put it wherever you please...

For a specific usergroup, look in the included TXT file, there is a function called is_member_of() or something similar.

Freezerator · #**218** 21 Jul 2004, 12:50

Is there some kind of stats page, where you can view people with top ratings and things like thats?

eoc_Jason · #**219** 21 Jul 2004, 15:35

No, that will be in the next update though. However right now I'm in the process of trying to find a job, so I have put all my projects like this on hold.

BTW, this has been asked and answered several times before, please use the "search this thread" option at the top, most people are starting to get really repetitive in their questions.

Freezerator · #**220** 21 Jul 2004, 22:01

my bad. Good luck on finding a job though

this is a wonderful hack.

I would like to ask a question and I hope this is not stupid to ask ... but is there a way that I can delete the buyer/seller columns? I just ask because we don't buy or sell, just trade and this system would be perfect for us. If you or anyone can tell me how I can modify the hack to achieve a trades only function, I'd be overly happy.

Thank you in advance for any help

Well there are several things you can remove if you want to make it the most efficient, however to keep it simple (and make upgrades easier), I would just modify the template where you submit a new rating, remove the buy/sell/trade dropdown and make trade a hidden form field. You can also modify the display template to remove the extra buy/sell stuff.

Tilmanitou · #**223** 24 Jul 2004, 13:54

Jason, in your templates.txt you wrote:

-----------------------
NOTE: If you only want specific user groups to use the ratings, you will also
need to modify the traderratings.php code to prevent users from getting
to the feedback page through manual URLs (unlikely, but possible). This feature will be fully implemented in the next version (if you don't want to modify the php file).
-----------------------

would you please be so kind and explain me how to do that exactly, if possible in "find: x and replace with: y style" and tell me how to do that for one usergroup as well as for several usergroups.

I didn't manage to restrict access to traderratings in the postbit and memberinfo templates to one or several usergroups only. so we helped us out in limiting access to user profiles for these groups and adding the link to traderratings only in the memberinfo template.

Seems like I'm not the only one who didn't understand how to do that...thanks for explaining us!

Watson · #**224** 24 Jul 2004, 20:37

Yeah I am hoping just for a forum to be used for my ratings, and not a usergroup. so they have to do it that way.

Also Jason mate, I aint exactly sure, but how would I put in a leave Feedback image or something in the Postbit?

This is a little off topic but I think we should all discuss this.

As you all know, this script is a honor based system, so there is no way to know if the rating is valid unless we can somehow track the transaction. So I would like to throw in the topic of Verification. Lets give your best shot.

My idea would be:

1. To some how have a Credit card verification included in the script. Something like what has been used in the adult sites to verify age. This verificaiton will be used for people who want to participate in the rating system. This way you have a way of telling if the rater is not a fictitous person because some people may abuse the system to make themselves look better than the others by getting multiple id's. If you have a verification built in, one person can rate only rate others not himself.

2. What do you think about verifying a transaction by asking a few questions to verify transaction did take place. Like the amount of transaction. Now, if asking the buyer the transaction amount found and asking the seller transaction amount found do not match, it will be seen as a fictitious transaction and will not be allowed to record the "RATING".

I think verification is the only way to do this. As a matter of fact, AMAZON.com just announced that they are going to implement the credit card verification to make sure the reviewr of their products are the people they say they are.

Lets discuss.
