[RC1] Geocator's Feedback Ratings MOD (eBay Style)

[Garfield312]

Well only 2 days ago I got phpBB installed and I am now learning to FTP. I messed up the forum and had to get the person to reinstall it for me. How easy is this to install? Are there any security issues?

Sorry if I am asking anything obvious, I just want to make a forum for people to post where they have things to sell and people make transactions in real life then come back online to rate the trade. I think I saw that it can be done in a way that the transaction would then be locked and moved to another forum when the sale/trade is done? IS this automated or admins need to move it?

Ok, looks like you never installed a mod

Then, it will not be very easy.

But you should try it. First of all, make a full backup of your forum. Then download the package and the search file. Unzip (unrar) the package to a new directory.

Open the install.txt file (or a file like that ) and follow the instructions. It's quite easy to mod, if you are carefull and follow the instructions exactly.

After editing all files, upload the edited files and the new files from the mod to your webspace, run the database install file while you're logged in as Admin, and that's all you have to do.

To your question about locking of threads / offers :

You, the Admin, can lock every thread. Also the user who started the topic can do.

Just test the mod, I think, it's not difficult to use.

Would you tell me your URL ? I'd like to see it in action

Okay, I need to find out a few things first since I tried backing up and it did not work out too well, had to get someone toreinstall phpBB for me, heh.

This back up, should it be the FTP backup of all files or use the backup feature in the admin backend?

Also, I see a .zip file and a .MOB file....what's the difference? Which should I use? The only thing I got to install no porblem is templates

As soon as I can figure out what I need to, I will surely post for all to see here as well as test out.

Okay, I am close to getting easymod installed, I got as far as installing it from the web browser but i have some issues where permissions are concerned so the person who owns all the web space and all that will install for me. Can i install this MOD with easy MOD? And about my comment before, I meant I was seeing .MOD files, not .MOB Thanks.

[samureye]

I tried installing this with EasyMOD and nothing. So now I am going to try the manual install, running phpBB 2.2.20

It said using Easymod 3.0 beta was succesful but not for me. Am I supposed to do an SQL thing? If that is the case I need to give the person running the server to do that part for me.

[Garfield312]

Hi,

you just have to follow the installation file.

You have to run a database install file, that is included in the package.

BTW: Easymod is - unfortunately - often a problem. Sometimes, it really makes things easyer - but not in this case

hi there,
i am german, but i try to write in english.
I installed this mod normally like the install file describes. But it doesn't work.

In ACP there is a new category, but there is no text about the configuration.
The user profile didn't change. I can't post a feedback or something like that.

Can someone help me or speaks german here?

[Garfield312]

Hallo Maxxo,

eigentlich sollte hier wohl kein Deutsch geschrieben werden, aber versuchen wir's mal.

Ich hab den neulich auf www.hottelino.de eingebaut, udn er funzt prima.

Hier hast du das deutsche Sprachfile :

www.hottelino.de/temp/lang_feedback.php.txt -> natürlich umbenennen, das .txt am Ende weg, und in language/lang_german rein damit.

Dann brauchst du auch noch deutsche Grafiken :

www.hottelino.de/temp/feedback-bilder-deutsch.rar

Die Grafiken gehören in :

templates/deintemplate/images/lang_german/

Sie ersetzen die englischen Bilder.

Was den Text angeht, der im ACP nicht da ist :

Du hast bestimmt irgend ein Sprachfile nicht hochgeladen. Prüfe das mal...

[maxxo]

Hallo Garfield,
danke dir

ich habe alle Sprachfiles testweise in alle Sprachordner hochgeladen ..

http://2page.de/testforum/

Da ist es installiert, aber es gibt einfach keine Anzeichen des Mods. Nirgends gibt es dieses Bewertungssystem in den Userprofilen bspws. das liegt ja dann nicht an den Sprachfiles, oder?

[Garfield312]

Ha !

Jetzt fällt mir wieder ein, wo das Problem war :

Man mußte in PhpMyAdmin, glaube ich, noch händisch die Tabellen umbenennen !

Schau mal :

http://2page.de/testforum/feedback.php

SQL Error : 1054 Unknown column 'BUYER' in 'where clause'

SELECT feedback_id, feedback_text AS text, response_text, seller_id, buyer_id, feedback_date AS date, bbcode_uid, f.topic_id, score, forum_id FROM FEEDBACK_TABLE f, phpbb_topics t WHERE seller_id = -1 AND feedback_type = BUYER AND f.topic_id = t.topic_id ORDER BY feedback_date DESC LIMIT 0, 20

Line : 380
File : feedback_view.php

Die Tabellen ansich haste ja angelegt ?

Dann benenn die mal in PhpMyAdmin um wie folgt :

phpbb_feedback
phpbb_feedback_stats
phpbb_feedback_transactions

Ich glaub, die hießen nämlich anders !

Probier mal, und sag Bescheid.

If you want support in German, please visit a German support site. Posts on this site should be in English. Thanks.

[Garfield312]

Sorry @drathbun.

We'll continue on phpbb.de.

Ok, Maxxo, continue here :

http://www.phpbb.de/viewtopic.php?t=130792

I think you know that thread

Thx.

[Garfield312]

Btw, are there any basics here to help samureye installing a mod ?

It seems he doesn't knows how to install a mod.

I'm sorry, but I don't know phpbb.com as good to tell if there is a basic manual for installing mods.

Drathbun, can you answer this ?

[drathbun]

How to install a MOD from the Knowledge Base.

[samureye]

I used that before to no avail. I think I messed up the install with another mod, maybe I left out a comma or something. I just don't know. I will try again, last time I tried this, editing php files and all that, phpBB had to be reinstalled fully.

[samureye]

Well I found this http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.ph ... s&start=90
and this is what I really want to do, it allows people to post classifieds in thwe way I want but....people cannot reply to posted items, what if people want to beat down the price or ask questions? Also there is no feedback like here. Is there a way to implement the two systems?
