buy/sell/trade feedback system

andrewjs18

treyb I have money in hand ready to go!

your write up is perfect, imho.

luceos

treyb based on these requirements, pledging is now available.

treyb Goal: An extension to facilitate user feedback for buy/sell/trade interactions, akin to eBay's system.

Key features proposed include:

Feedback Submission: Users can leave feedback (positive, neutral, negative) with optional comments and a link to the related thread. (OP would select the buyer, similar to "best answer")

Role Specification: Indication of the user's role in the transaction (buyer, seller, trader).

Notifications: Configurable alerts for users upon receiving feedback, possibly through the default notification system, private messages, or email.

Profile Integration: Display of feedback and trade statistics on user profiles, with visibility controlled by permissions.

Additional Features: (Nice but could be a later update)
Additionally, a suggestion was made to award badges or stickers to users after accumulating a certain amount of feedback, similar to other selling platforms.

Project will have MIT license and available on GH.

luceos Thank you!

@andrewjs18 Bounty has been enabled! We should be able to get some traction now.

treyb just added to the bounty.

@huseyinfiliz with this finalized requirements list, would you be willing to take another look at the project?

treyb I'd be willing to bump up my bounty some to get this done, how about you?

as an aside..how can I message you outside of flarum to chat about something related to our forums...?

huseyinfiliz

treyb I appreciate the effort being put into this extension. A feedback system like this is a core feature in many traditional forum platforms, and it would be valuable for Flarum as well.

As I mentioned earlier, I would have liked to work on something like this myself. However, my goal is not personal use but to contribute to a widely useful extension.

That said, I still find some features overly detailed. For example, XenForo has a similar premium extension: XenCentral Feedback System 2

However, this extension is premium and requires a subscription. To avoid the same issue and ensure free updates in the long run, I believe some features should be trimmed.

I believe trimming 1–2 features would be sufficient. Specifically, I personally don’t see the need for badge support in this extension.

andrewjs18 Me as well.

You can reach out on Discord.

treyb shot you a friend request on discord.

treyb

andrewjs18 Nothing coming through so far. What's your user?

andrewjs18

treyb same as on here

andrewjs18 Says you aren't accepting friends. Try this link to a server. https://discord.gg/C46ZsqMm

treyb

huseyinfiliz Just to confirm, would you be interested in taking on the project if the Badge requirement was removed along with one other?

Just being honest, the request is pretty barebones with the 4 core features. Which additional feature would you suggest be removed?

The badges could be manually added by the mod/admin team if sellers/buyers prove themselves trustworthy.

A "Send Trade Feedback" button will be added to the menu on user profile pages.

Clicking this button will open a modal for submitting trade feedback. Since this action will be initiated from the profile page of the user you want to give feedback to, the recipient field will be fixed and cannot be changed.

Recipient of the trade feedback: The user whose profile page the modal was opened from.
Sender of the trade feedback: The user who clicked the button to open the modal.

These two details will not be displayed in the modal; they are just part of the process.

Fields in the Modal:

Role: Buyer/Seller/Trade
Overall Experience: Positive/Neutral/Negative
Discussion URL: (No validation mechanism for now; any URL can be entered. A validation system could be implemented in the future.)
Comment Area

The user receiving trade feedback will get a notification.
Trade feedback will be listed on a new page added to the user's profile.

By default, all users can receive trade feedback, but only users from specific groups (assigned via the admin panel) will be allowed to submit trade feedback.

The profile statistics section will display P/N/N (Positive/Neutral/Negative) feedback counts.

This is the general idea I have in mind. I believe we can refine it together to develop an extension that works well for everyone.

andrewjs18

huseyinfiliz would there be a way to display the total feedback counts within a thread somehow? having to look at a user's profile before doing a transaction is inefficient, imho.

as seen in my OP:

the shopping cart icon represents my b/s/t feedback.

huseyinfiliz

andrewjs18 treyb I have thought about this extensively and tried to find a solution at a common point without disrupting Flarum's simple structure.

I decided that the most important place where the trade score should be seen, apart from the profile, is in the "shopping" related tags. The trade score of the person who opens the discussion should be visible in the tags where the discussion is opened.

In other words, instead of having the trade score next to each member's name, it will appear as part of the discussion and the trade score of the person who starts the discussion will be visible.

Would this be suitable for you?

treyb

I definitely think we could come up with a reduced scope to get the framework built for the current bounty.

I agree with andrew though in that we would need some indicator (even a pre-defined signature maybe?) on the post.

Nodeloc

huseyinfiliz It's a great idea.

treyb

huseyinfiliz I do think this could be a solution, on my site specifically, every tag except maybe 3 will be "shopping". Would this go for buyers and sellers in those posts?

andrewjs18

huseyinfiliz I think I need to see it in action.

that aside, everything you mentioned in your previous post is perfect:
