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?
