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.

Figured out the issue with the red letters but now I cant see anyones auction when I click their ebay name.. If Ipull my name out it works and if I leave it in it doesnt..

This not having an ebay id is related to having something in your own profile to view the others.

Question is there something you can put in this field by default that won't generate the eBay pic in the postbit for users who do not sell on ebay?

Try this someone, anyone.

When you do not enter an ebay name in your own usercp profile then you see the screen that the user does not have a valid ebay name. So copy your ebay_member template and paste this into the ebay_no_member template. Basically you end up with these two templates mirroring each other.

I can't say I'm sure what you're defeating by doing this but it allows people who have not entered an ebay user name into their usercp to see the others who have entered their ebay names.

If you dont add your ebay user id it doesnt add the ebay graphic in your post bit. I fyuo do have an ebay id then it adds it hence -

<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></div>

If this condiftion is met then it adds it to the post bit, If it isnt met the graphic is not displayed.

The graphic wasn't the issue. The issue was when a user did not enter an ebay id they would not be able to see the auctions of the users who had. It was only displaying "This member has not given their Ebay ID", which is coming from the ebay_no_member template that was created when the xml file was imported.

What really needs to happen is that ebay_no_member template needs to just go away.

Well it is a cheesy work-around but it's working perfectly for my board. I can't say why it is working for me and not you. I'm certainly no code guru.

[fiber_cut]

Are you using 3.5.1 or 3.5.0?

[Tulsa]

3.5.0

[fiber_cut]

Ahh that would explain it then, Wait till you upgrade to 3.5.1 it wont work. But you definatly want to 3.5.1 due to the holes in the board.
