vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Embedding RSS Into a Post.. Is this possible?

airplane-dude · #1 04-30-2007, 05:22 AM

I have a trading section on my forum, and wish to make a way for users to show what items they have listed on eBay.

I notice eBay has an RSS for every users items. And I figured, I'd like to make a custom BBcode so that someone can put the code, and their username, and it would show their items automatically in the post. Am I dreaming, or is this possible?

For example, someone types [ebay]stevescollectibles[/ebay] and then it shows all the stuff on this page: http://rss.api.ebay.com/ws/rssapi?Fe...escollectibles

but right in the post.

Most ebayers on my forum, only sell a few items, but I still think this would be a handy feature for some..

Please help if you can. Thanks!
