Global Trade Station, gotta trade 'em all!

In celebration of 100K unique visits, I'd like to announce, that we have finally opened Global Trade Station. You no longer need to contact with the other person, and exchange ID's and VC's with them, risking being scammed. You no longer have to add manually each one of them as well.

All you have to do, is to visit our Global Trade Station. There, you can make trades containing chosen Virtuadopts. Other people may see all the trades (or even look for certain kind of Virtuadopt), and make an offer. Next time you will check your trade lots, you will see if, and what other people offered. If you accept such an offer, simply, Virtuadopts from your trade travel to offerer, Virtuadopts from offer go to your account. The Virtuacodes are automatically changed, so there is no risk of scamming.

If you offer on someone's trade, you will have status of that offer. Unknown means, that trade owner didn't yet do anything with your offer. If status is in red, that means he turned down that offer (and you need to delete that offer, to get them back on your account). If your offer has green status, it means you trade owner chose your offer :king:

Moreover, introducing GTS brings us evolving by trade, so, you may be able to get some adoptables, that evolve only by trading.

Go check by yourself!

I am still testing everything, so if you encounter a bug, let me know.
The Global Trade Station forum will disappear in around 24h.

On a side note, thanks to stream, Pokeplushies admins lifted our ban, that appeared somewhere in the past, due to some affairs. You can now post our Virtuadopts in PP signatures!

I noticed after a trade is accepted it says: Status: Trade owner chose this offer. Congratz!. My question is, do we then delete the lot/offer? Because the lot still says on the page, even after we have gotten our Pokemon from the trade.

Also I got this when Trading a Kadabra with another Kadabra:

Congratz, you have chosen the following offer:


Fatal error: Cannot redeclare imagecenterttf() (previously declared in /home/virtuado/domains/virtuadopt.com/public_html/rebuild.php:16) in /home/virtuado/domains/virtuadopt.com/public_html/rebuild.php on line 24

And you can't offer a pokemon in a trade if it's already offered to another anyway, you have to cancel the first one first.

ooooo....nice GTS stef. you've been doing great with these updates(and I bet that wasn't easy to put on the site).

Pokémon: it should only be a shadow of the trade lot, and offer. Both traded, and offered shouldn't be in trade/offer anymore, and it only views the old trade. You should delete the offer for the sake of deleting it, but it is not needed for correct work of GTS.

As for the error, it appeared when more than one Virtuadopts from trade/offer had to evolve. I think I fixed it now.

Thanks LG, it certainly wasn't easy :) I am glad I managed to finish it, after halway, I started noticing lots of stupid things I wrote, and it was hard to operate with them. I still need to learn a lot, but heck, that's the main reason this site exists :king:

Thanks for the reply. I just wanted to make sure if it was ok to delete the older trades. Your right, it doesn't seem to be doing the shadow trades anymore. You work fast for correcting things. Again, thank you so much for adding this feature. It will give me hours of entertainment, lol. :D

Yeah. stef does work fast. and tbh, this thing was so huge that it was bound to have some bugs(even after the beta testers, since they can't catch everything). Honestly, I'm surprised stefanol got this up as fast as he did.

NP stef..you're a good friend for what its worth. And makes sense over why this site exists. good way to learn more coding skills.

I think you misunderstood me.

a)when trade owner deletes trade lot, it isn't viewable anywhere (and can't be offered on), and it discards (not deletes) offers.

b)when trade owner accepts someones offer, it discards all the other offers and accepts chosen offer. The trade lot is made invisible in GTS, and it can only be viewed by people, whose offers were discarded. What they see is only the shadow of the trade - the trade doesn't exist anymore, can't be offered on, and can only be viewed. Virtuadopt in those "shadow" trades can be normally traded in other trades. Shadow trade disappear once you delete the offer notice.

blarg, it's unclear, but imo it works as it should ;)

//ah I think I know what you meant... That when you accept someone's offer, you still see it everywhere, right? It had to do with earlier error with evolving Pokemon. Should temporary work now.
