Ebay in Postbit and Profile with direct Link to members auctions

Hello Guys! :smoke:

Well, what does this little modification do?

If your Users have Ebay-Accounts, they can go to "Edit Profile" and write there Names there.
The Names are displayed in there User-Profiles and also in the Postbit with a direct Link to there current auctions.
This is the basic Idea.

++ Addon ++

With the little Addon you can participate by every click on the users auctions.

Note: Only if your have a Advertising - Partnership with Ebay.

Install-Time: 5min

Yes, that looks good!
In Germany we have Sites like www.affili.net where you can setup partner-accounts. You can look for something to that should be easy.

Kars10: Got the hack working thanks alot!

Was thinking though. How to make this linkable in the profile page? An IF statement wherever the $customfields variable is?

I'm such a php newbie

Hello Limey!
Glad you like it!!
Ok, for Profil Page i make a new version soon.
So stay tuned!

[Kars10]

Ok heres the Link for the Profilepage (thanks to Xenon):

open member.php

search for:

PHP Code:

$profilefield[value]=$userinfo[$profilefieldname]; 


replace with:

PHP Code:

$profilefield[value]=$userinfo[$profilefieldname];
// ebay
    {
    if($profilefield[profilefieldid]==ID) 
$profilefield[value] = "<A HREF=\"http://partners.webmasterplan.com/click.asp?ref=101294&site=1382&type=b297&bnb=297&ebloc=2&ebmn=$profilefield[value]\" TARGET=\"_blank\">". $profilefield[value] ."</a>"; 
    
    }
    
// ebay end 


++ Replace The "ID" with your Ebay - FieldID

[limey]

Close, but no cigar. The ID needs to be [field7] or the link does not recognize the user. If I simply put 7 in place of the ID the link doesn't recognize the username.

If I put [field7] I get parse errors.

[Kars10]

@ Limey, for me it works like a charm. Please post the error you get.

I forgot to reply...sorry I've had it working for awhile...

I just had an idea with this Kars. What about adding a bit so that everyone who does NOT enter their Ebay name (or who just doesn't have one), the ebay-profilefield automatically posts your default link such as: "Join Ebay" or something like that.

That way it will encourage members to sign up and you get a the most $ if an ebay member signs up.
