I installed this and it works great on www.rustysoaptraders.com.

Glad you like it How was the install? Any suggestions? I put this together rather quickly in response to the original request, but since there seems to some interest in it, I would like to release it as a hack so it's more visible.

sorry, was going to get back to you. this worked out great, but for some reason, any and all of my applications for the ebay affiliate thing were denied. i ended up using only the template hack you suggested.

I also wanted to send you this, it's an ebay icon, with a white border surrounding it - Right now it has a redish matte, but with the white border, you can easily change it without harming anything.

Thanks for all your efforts! (I'm currently working on v3.0.4 and my semi-modded board...)

Install went easy...hardest part was just figuring out where I wanted the eBay logo in the postibit...I found the instructions easy to understand and follow.

Great, Chris. Thanks for the feedback.

So, bi11i, was an ebay affifialte account required to use the tool? I haven't tested it yet, but it looks like there is an option for non-affilate Ebay accounts.

SVTBlackLight01 - excellent work. I can verify that you do NOT need an affiliate account to use this hack. I must admit that things do get a little confusing in the sniplet stage when they ask for search paramaters. Perhaps you could put in your instructions for the coder to just input "userid1" in the second option where they ask for 'Search by Seller Id" (or something like that... i'm doing this from memory).

Anyhow, this would then help the coder find the &si= substitute area a little quicker. I ended up signing up with commission junction and adding search parameters up the wazoo before finally figuring it out. ROFLcopters and LOLlerskates. oh well.

In addition, I would like to suggest adding the following coding to the "memberlist_resultsbit" template. This would allow people to pull up a member's eBay listing when they do a Members List search. The ebay.gif link your provided will be displayed right under each Member's name and User Title (assuming User Titles is enabled.)

ok:

ADD A LINKED ICON IN MEMBERS LIST

In "memberlist_resultsbit" template, find (it's right near the top):

<if condition="$show['usertitlecol']"><div class="smallfont">$userinfo[usertitle]</div></if>

Below, add:

<!--eBay Listings bit-->
<if condition="$userinfo['fieldx']"><a href="member.php?&do=memberauctions&userid=$userinfo[userid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/ebay.gif" alt="$userinfo[musername]'s eBay Auctions" border="0" /></a></if></div>
<!-- // eBay Listings bit-->

I think that's right and again, i'm doing it by memory. I'm not really a coder and haven't tested it out on an active board.

Good luck all and great work SVTBlackLight01!

Thanks, yinyang. And thanks for the tips for the seller ID and the update about the account requirements. The only required search perameter for this hack is the Seller ID. The rest is mostly user preference.

The icon in the member list is a great addition. :up:

This is a little off-topic, but I noticed the Amazon store http://www.modernengineuity.com/store/ on your site, and I was wondering how you installed that one...
