I've looked all over for mod similar to this, but I haven't been able to find this. I'd like to have a mod where users can leave feedback based on a transaction - and a positive, negative or netural rating - if it is positive, their number increases by one, negative substracts one, etc. Also, the admin would need to have the ability to set the number manually if needed. Basically, this is very similar to ebays feedback.

We are a sportscard trading forum where this feature would be very usueful.

Anyone have any idea of how complicated this would be? I'd be willing to pay for this. I'd then probably release it to the snitz community if possible.

We are running 3.4.03 on an SQL server.

Thanks, looking forward to hearing some replies

Could you explain what you mean by transaction? I may be stupid, but do you mean a rating of positive, negative on posts? What is the nature of the thing you need to rate

I wish I could help you. I am interested in seeing a MOD like this myself.

Perhaps you could get someone to modify an old Topic Ratings MOD released for Snitz 3.3.xx ...

Here is how the readme_topic_rating.txt file starts out:

Topic Rating Mod v 1.0  (based on Big9erFan's Member Rating MOD)

For Snitz Version 3.3 (or Huwrized 3.3)
(Release for Version 3.1 to follow)

Initial Release - 06/11/2001
Author (rofl) - Azaniah

This has ONLY been tested on Access and forum version 3.3

... (edited this area for brevity) ...

- members can only vote for a topic once
- members can't vote for their own topics
- topic rating can be turned on or off at the forum level.
- members can decide if they want a topic to be rated or not
- fixed bug for archiving
- rating can be shown by stars or percent. (see readme_topic_rating_stars.txt)

Cheers,

Etymon

When two members made a trade, they post the trade in the trade agreement forums - once the trade is compelted, feedback is left for them in a topic in the trader ratings forum. YOu can see it at http://www.traderretreat.com/community/

A feedback system would be great for our forums to replace the trader ratings forum, so people don't need to search for a members feedback topic.

Ah, ok. That's what you mean by per transaction.

I don't know who to talk to about this.

OK I understand what you mean now... if you just have 1 rating for each member of the board, and then people register their vote as +1 or -1 based on their feedback, then this wouldn't be too hard to accomplish. How much experience with ASP do you have? What I would suggest would be setting up a new table called ratings, which would contain three fields, voterid, memberid, score (or similar names). Then you would setup a page (possibly members.asp) that would allow you to choose a positive or a negative rating, and then this would be saved in the database so you could see who had voted for what. Then, you would add up all the scores for a given member to give an overall score that could be displayed under their posts, or whatever.

Is this the kind of thing you want? I don't think there is a mod that does this, but a +1 -1 ratings system would be possible, I might be able to look at it for you.

There is also a Member Rating MOD made for Snitz 3.1.xx, and it also uses the RATINGS table.

The Readme file starts out like this:

Member Rating Mod v 1.0 based on the UBB v 6.0

Initial Release - 8/15/2001

This has ONLY been tested on Access and forum version 3.1 SR4  I don't have 3.3 but I think a few small changes
in topic.asp and pop_profile.asp will allow it to work in 3.3 as well.

- stars shown are based on an average of total votes
- member can only vote for another member 1x
- currently there is no ability to show all the members you voted for on one page, nor who voted what for you.
	that's a version 2 release.


And, its dbs file goes like this:

Member Ratings
[CREATE]
RATINGS

RATING#int#0#0
RATINGS_BYMEMBER_ID#int#0#0
RATINGS_MEMBER_ID#int#0#0
[END]

[ALTER]
MEMBERS
ADD#MEMBER_RATING_TOTAL_COUNT#int#0#0
ADD#MEMBER_RATING_TOTAL#int#0#0
[END]


I hope that helps a add to or stimulate some ideas for you.

Yeah I think its a definitely possible mod which wouldn't take too long to code, and might be useful to others as well as your forums. It would work using the method I outlined in my previous reply to do with the ratings table. How much experience with ASP do you have? I could alternatively look in to writing it for you.

I have limited experience, if I look at a script I can generally figure out whats going on, but I doubt I could write one.

OK fine , well someone else in the community may be willing to write it for you, but I will do it. Please could you contact me direct via email over the forum about it, because I'm quite busy at the moment with various things, but I can get onto it as soon as I can.
