been about 40 hours lol

any ideas what the problem is?

one of my members has over 30 items for sale yet the only thing showing is the random ebay thing

I figured out the random eBay thing and changed my snippet to show nothing if there are no auctions, however there is still a problem. When clicking the link to view someone's eBay auctions, I am told "This member has not given their Ebay ID" even though I had entered a valid ID (with auctions running) into the user's account. Is this also due to the delay mentioned above?

does your actuLLY show the auction up cos mine dont :(

Only "This member has not given their Ebay ID" and that's it.

The installation and/or snippet must have been generated wrong then...

It is working for me...

Here is an example of a member who has active auctions:
http://www.mumsonline.net/forums/mem...ns&userid=1767

And one that doesn't have any active auctions, thus its displaying most watched items from the 'baby' catagory from ebay.co.uk:

Here is my snippet code if it helps you debug your issues... (feel free to use it yourself, it has my affiliate code in it! ;) )
EDIT:
there is spaces rendering in the above snippet code that are not in the orginal code... Quote this message to get the snippet code as it appears in my ebay_member template

that did the trick :bunny:

Ok, I finally got it working...

Things I noticed that I had to change...

In the readme, it says

To get it to work, I would have needed it to read like this:
I had to remove the " vbulletin-> " part

This is something else I did (integration) :D

Edit your MEMBERINFO Template

Find

or if you have the skype/gt/etc. mods in place
Find:
Add, after:
Don't forget to replace x with your field number.

Also note that I chose to put this under Contact Info (I do this as I am going to have other things with ebay - for references) - You may want to choose to put this under Addtional Information.

For the life of me, I am not getting this to work. I have re-generated the snippet a few times, pasted the new code over the old, made the change as per christanb's post, added the memberinfo stuff from his other post, and I keep getting the same error.

What is it doing?

If this is what you are referring to, when you have it in there unmodified (not sure how you modified it), there should be a search box rather than auctions showing if that member has no auctions. If you go to my site, find a post I made and click on the ebay logo, you'll see what I mean.

Also, don't forget your field values (I know I forgot a couple times while redoing the hack).

I know this question has been asked by I could not find a difinitive answer, this was working for a day or so and now all of a sudden this appears when viewing members Ebay ID

This member has not given their Ebay ID

This is my snipplet that I am using:
Help

I have the prices coming up in $ instead of £ can anyone tell me how it goes to ebay.co.uk instead of ebay.com please

Correct, this is what I was referring to. No search box, just that message in red bold letters.
Yes my field values are correct. I just combed through them again.

Here is what is in my MEMBERINFO template:
This is in my postbit: And this is in my ebay_member:

Same here, just red bold letters stating "This member has not given their Ebay ID"

And I have triple checked everything. It did work now it has stopped working.

I don't know if this helps anyone to debug this but here goes, I entered my Ebay UserID into my profile and hey presto I can see my forum members auctions, then I took out my userID in my userCP, and guess what...the red wording about members iD's again, went back to my userCP entered my Ebay ID and then I could see my forums members auctions....me thinks there is a connection there.

I have the same problem. If I take my userID out of my profile then I get "This member has not given their Ebay ID". However, if I take my name out of my profile I get a box with an ad (even on those that I know have live auctions!)

ive had to uninstal this :(

Has anyone got this working properly?

Sounds like it was working in some cases, but a bug managed to surface just when Creed stepped away from vB stuff for a while. I assume he'll be back shortly.

Here's something I just noticed.

When viewing a member's auctions, I can see it just fine. However, when I log in as a member, rather than admin, the same screen pulls "This member has not given their Ebay ID"


And for the record... its not set to private field either

FIXED IT - at least on my site.

I got to thinking about it earlier - about the last post - so I went to the user profile settings - I changed it to make it a private field. And this worked.

So that tells me there is something that is in the code that is reversing the permissions. Now as any member, I can click on the ebay and pull up the auctions, aside from the admin view.

Didnt work for me Im still getting this:

This member has not given their Ebay ID

im lost on the whole thing can someone please help

i got all the step the two steps below. how do i do them?
1. Create a new User Profile Field for eBay Username. Make sure to remember the field number.

2. Edit ebay_member Template, replace with your new code.

**NOTE** When adding your Ebay Sniplet Source Code to the template, find this bit &si=whatever and add your profile field: &si=$vbulletin->userinfo[fieldx]

You do the new user profile ID in your admin CP and the say with the edit on the template.

At the moment though it would appear that its not working for most of us :disappointed:

User profile field is in the AdminCP (left side) User Profile Fields - create a new user profile area - doesn't matter how its set up as long as the user knows that the area is for inputting ebay user ID.

I've got mine set up as follows

Title - eBay Username

Description - This is your eBay Username

Max length of allowed user input - 100

Display Size -25

Profile Field Type ? Single-Line Text Box

Display Order ? 5

Field Required ? No

Field Editable by User ? Yes

Private Field ? Yes (do to reasons I stated before this post ? others will vary)

Field Searchable on Members List ? No

Show on Members List ? Yes


Don't use the "vbulletin->" part (take out that part of the code. Should be &si=$userinfo[fieldx]

silurius, did you get your issue figured out?

No, unfortunately the private field workaround didn't have a noticeable impact on my issue.

Can you post your sniplet code?

i got it all done but thie step

2. Edit ebay_member Template, replace with your new code.

**NOTE** When adding your Ebay Sniplet Source Code to the template, find this bit &siteid=whatever and add your profile field after: &si=$userinfo[fieldx]

where is ebay_members?

AdminCP --> Styles and Templates --> Style Manager --> Edit Templates --> ebay_member template

i don't have that file where do i get it from? it was not in the zip

It's created when you install the product. If it doesn't create it, you may need to reinstall it.

Here's the code.

Actually, the code I was referring to looks like this:

Yeah exactly, that was my third code paste in that post:

Sorry, didn't see that :P

I see you've got the &amp issue on your script.

Edit: try copying my sniplet and changing your field where appliccable.

I have doen this exactly as it says andI cannot get this to work.. I cant get any field to show up.

I jsut kep getting this -

This member has not given their Ebay ID

Any fix for this yet?

I still get the above.. I have changed it to private and non private and still no go..
