Add eBay Image and Username to PostBit · **Released**: 07-19-2005

Sup guys and Gals, this is my second template mod, I am not too experience, I just knew this could be done and I thought alot of people would like it. I am going to include the instrictions here and also in a zip file attached, this should work for all vB3 versions, It has only been tested with 3.0.3 but it will work for all other versions, I am not sure about 3.5 sorry. Well, here we go

First Thing
---------------------
Go to your admin cp and make a 1 line profile field entitled eBay Username
**Make sure you remember what field it is under. ( after you make it, out to the right of it it will say Field1, 2, 3, ect..( mine is Field9 ) After that is done go in your profile and enter your eBay username

Second
---------------------
In template postbit_legacy or postbit:

Find

Code:

<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon]

After Add:

Code:

<if condition="$post['fieldX']">
<a href="http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=$userinfo[fieldX]" target="_blank"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/ebay.gif" alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[view_ebay_profile]</phrase>" border="0" /></a>
</if>

Make sure you replace "X" with your field ID number.

Third
--------------
Upload the image attached to your skins folder/misc.

Fourth and Final
------------------
Creat a new PHRASE

Varname= view_ebay_profile

Text in it= View users eBay profile

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, I believe thats it, more than likely I missed something..just tell me if you have any problems I will be HAPPY to help you. Below are attached screenshot and eBay Image

When everything is said and done, your ebay name will be in your postbit and when clicked it links to the persons feedback page

Happy modding

. Please remember to click install if you use this.

p.s. I am sure there is a easier way to do this because there are TONS of different ways, this is just the wya I did it, make sure to tell me if you liked it

Thanks

Seems to display correctly, but when clicked:

Quote:

User ID invalid
The user ID you entered was not found. Please check the User ID and try again .

Note: If you only know the eBay member's email address, you must first look up their User ID.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
