Phew... a ton of posts while I was asleep! Okay to answer a few questions...

1. The next release v1.02 will have a few changes of the changes you guys have been describing. (I'm not going to go into details cuz I don't want to make promises I can't deliver.)

2. *Probably* in 1.03 will be an option that will tie a buyer & seller together with a thread (via a button on the thread which the buyer must click, then they will have the option to rate each other). However I don't want to get rid of rating people where there isn't a threadid, as some sites & people do deal via PM or other means. So there will probably be a split into "Verified" and "Unverified" deals, where the verified has a link to the thread and all that jazz.

As for admin stuff, I know there needs to be something done to make it easier, but I'm having a hard time visualizing what the interface needs to look like exactly. If one person was giving a lot of people negative feedback, you can always go to his trader ratings and click the link to see who he left feedback for. I'll keep thinking about it, but the more input you guys can give me, the better.

Also I was thinking of making a stats page showing the higest & most rated people, and also the lowest. Possibly the last few ratings. How many ratings per day, avg per day, etc...


Lastly, I'm just curious, if I put up a paypal donate button on the first post, do you think any of you guys would dontate anything? I know this brings a lot of commerce to your sites, and also long-term member loyalty. I usually wouldn't do something like this, however I'm currently unemployed and in what little free time I have I've been spending all of it working on coding this, and helping people get it installed (and tweaked a couple servers too... hehe).

One little error that I'm sure can be fixed easily I hope.

When I click Feedback Left for Others I get this message.

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.0:
Invalid SQL: SELECT * FROM wireless_user_rate_trade LEFT JOIN wireless_user ON wireless_user.userid = wireless_user_rate_trade.rateduser WHERE user_rate_trade.userid = 9 ORDER BY userdate DESC, userrateid DESC LIMIT 0, 30
mysql error: Unknown table 'user_rate_trade' in where clause

The user I selected positively left feedback for another, so at first I thought it was because the person didn't leave feedback for anyone, but that's not the case.

Yahoon23 - that's a bug in the file, I forgot to add the ".TABLE_PREFIX." to the part after the WHERE clause...

Find line ~200 under the -> //Various View Types For Feedback Display
under the switch case 4: -> //Feedback Left for Others

WHERE user_rate_trade.userid

to

WHERE ".TABLE_PREFIX."user_rate_trade.userid

I thought I got all the SQL table prefixes, but I guess I missed one...

[Yahhoon23]

Beautiful. Works like a charm.

Thanks alot.

Also, for those of you wanting a quick-fix until an updated version releases with the Trader Rating in the member profile. I just went and edited the memberinfo template and added the same postbit conditional.

It's not pretty, but for the time being, it's doing the trick.

Wow! Looks great. Now only if someone would pick up where vbTrader has left off this would be excellent.

[PAINTBALLM]

I love you lol

It would be awsome to have the star system too... after 10 feedbacks it changes to yellow star, after 20, blue, etc. etc. etc. Maybe an About ME page too to let people create their own info page Heck, why not go all out and actually do an entire auction system to work for vbulletin. I'd pay

I am still running into the same problem with it not showing up in the postbit, check out this thred http://www.gpfanatix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2.

The following is the code in my postbit_legacy. By looking at the code, it should show up under join date correct??

<if condition="$post['joindate']"><div>$vbphrase[join_date]: $post[joindate]</div></if>
<if condition="$post['userid']"><div>Trader Rating: (<a href="traderratings.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$post[ratetradetotal]</a>)</div></if>
<if condition="$post['field2']"><div>$vbphrase[location_perm]: $post[field2]</div></if>
<if condition="$post['age']"><div>$vbphrase[age]: $post[age]</div></if>

I really would like to get this up and running, if anyone has any ideas. Thanks

Put it up! :thumbup:

[[H]Dazz]

Do a complete classifieds/buy/sell/auction + your rating system.... :drool: I'd be all over that nad even pay a pretty penny.

[lifesourcerec]

Yeah, the stat page would be great.

[eoc_Jason]

You need to edit your 'postbit' template and add it there for your current style.

postbit = userinfo above the post (new vB3 style)
postbit_legacy = userinfo to the left of the post (vB2 style)

That's why it's not showing up...

Pimp!!. Thanks a ton, got it working now!!

*clicky install*

[eoc_Jason]

Well, my long-term goal is to create a classifieds and auction add-in, and it will definitly integrate with these ratings. But that's a lot of code, and I'm still learning all the in's-and-out's of vB3, so this is a great primer. (Yes, it will be free too when I make it.)

In the mean time that's why I wanted to get a simple "transaction" button up that can be displayed on a per-forum basis. This will give some form of knowing who the buyer & seller are, and also tie it to a thread, then allow users to rate that "transaction". The shift from a thread to a classified/auction listing shouldn't be too difficult.

I got a paypal button up on the first page, thanks again guys for all your support. I try to keep the first post updated with stuff that I'm fixing/adding. I'm hoping to have 1.02 posted this weekend. Upgrading should be fairly quick and simply, it's really just changes in the PHP file, a DB modification, and maybe some phrases (so the upgrade should all be automated).

Thanks for the tip Yahhoon23, I wasn't sure if it could be a direct drop-in the members template or not, I'll have to check it out for myself.

PaintballM - lol, eBay is going to sue my poor arse! But stars should be easy enough to implement, and also an "about me" page. Also maybe grouping users based on their stars would be good for the stats page?

Another big thing I wanted to have was a selection for user location, in the same style that eBay does where it's just general-areas. I know a lot of my users just type random things like "in your closet" for the defailt location field. Maybe that can tie in with the "about me" page?

For those who do not have full size layouts, and only using something around 750-755 pixels, the leave feedback page distorts the layout. I will write a fix for those of us who have smaller layouts in a little bit.
