Referral for Referral Trading Forum

Im sure I as many others have a difficult time filtering through the trade proposals for willing trade participants. I know this idea has been suggested before but I think it will help clarify everyones trading needs.

If you are just looking for trades then this would be a greeat feature.

Vote yes if you feel this will help the site.

I say yes

Good idea, but it would mean an additional forum for us to moderate, as well as the added work of having to watch for people offering the wrong trades in each of the separate trading forums.

I think we need to make it mandatory to have the "trade" icon for referral 4 referral and the "cash" for cash trades...It used to be mandatory I thought.

I dont want to be like A4F

anyway to embed the code so that whenever a post is created on the trading forum the user would have to select either a cash button or a trade button. If nothing is entered an error message is displayed and the post is not created.


I see the icons listed as they are right now. Seems like way too many too choose from for the trading forum. Anyway to restrict the number of icons displayed to just the 2 most relevant icons mentioned above whenever a post is created in the trading forum.

Even give a third option of cash/trade implying that user is availbe for both.

I say hooah

Yes for sure. It can get annoying looking through topics and finding people putting "PayPal cash offer", only to see they only do trade-for-trade =/

I voted yes.

i can moderate it ;)
i think this is a good idea with the huge influx of users but if it too much work we can keep things how they are. our mods and coders donate tons of time to this site

I think its a good idea...Yes

I like this idea more than the separate forum route.

anyway we could get this implemented? It cant be more then a few lines of code.. Heres my psuedo code

Inside of the Create post code

if ( forum.id=trading)
call to restrict the number of icons visible to user(cash & trade options)
if(icon=cash)
call to create post with cash option
if(icon=trade)
call to create post with trade option
else
error message and no call to create post.[/coloredcdc6de5a]
else
whatever existing code is to create a post[/coloredcdc6de5a]

code in blue belongs to the first if statement
code in green is existing code(else statement.. not posting in trading forum)

That is a good idea good2speed.

At the moment, the only way for anything to be added to the site is for either Tyler or David to do it. David is out of town and Tyler is a busy guy, so it'll have to wait for now I'm afraid.

Duh Frank, just paste the pseudo code onto the database using Word.

Ok, now what do I do? Hit Submit?

That'll do it.

[quotecf4cef81a3="bballp6699"]That'll do it.[/quotecf4cef81a3]

Done.

EDIT Oh shit, what have I done?

lol

Thx for keeping me updated. I guess all there is to do now is to flood Dmorris's inbox with change requests... P JK. I guess I'lll just try to keep it fresh in memory for whenever he returns from his much needed vacation.

lol + karma that made me laugh.

Request is noted. Frank, would you want to add this to the Forum Enhancement request list we're keeping in the Admin forum? Then prioritize it with the other stuff.

I like the idea in theory, but due to the nature & structure of the code, it's not quite as neat and "contained" as good2speed's pseudo-code would appear. Still, it should be doable to some degree. It's just not the only thing on the list to get done, so it'll have to be prioritized based upon both difficulty and urgency compared to other requests.
