eBay Integration Mod

This extension allows users to enter their eBay username, and will then have a link in postbit that will show all the users current eBay Auctions.

Does require a couple of template edits, and edit of a file (not native to vB).

Based off of the idea and hack from 3.0.x which can be seen: here.


1.0.1 Updated XML to parse two templates, saving two queries (thanks to Zachariah).

1.0.0 Initial Release


*To Update*
Reupload all files, Re-import product, making sure to allow overwrite.
-- Make sure you replace fieldx with your field# in the XML before updating.

Yes it works.
Need to change "fieldX" in 2 places to the user field you create in the AdminCP.

EX: field5 -- etc . Then the user fills in there Ebay user name. All should work fine.

2 places where?

[Zachariah]

2 places in what?

1. Go here http://cgi3.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?EKCreate to create your Ebay Sniplet Source Code (you have to have an ebay account and have a ebay user ID available)

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]

3. Edit template: posbit or postbit_legacy:

find:

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

add after:
<if condition="$post['fieldX']"><a href="member.php?&do=memberauctions&userid=$post[userid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/ebay.gif" alt="$post[username]'s Ebay Auctions" border="0" /></a></if>

[The Realist]

But my snippet from Ebay says this: &siteid=0

Not this: &si=
