I don't know how many of you have used Prosperent.com on your sites, but they have an awesome product API that lets you pull back products based on a keyword. When someone buys one of the products, you get a commission. I've been using their regular TCPA ads for a few months on my automotive sites and i've made quite a bit of money, but I think I (and everyone here) can make a great deal more if we can integrate their API into vbulletin as a plugin. I started on this basic idea of doing a product search engine. I have it working, but now I need to convert it into something that will work with Vbulletin and I have no idea how to register the variables with Vbulletin (and I did read the article on it). So, if anyone is willing to take a look, I want to keep the whole project open source.
Here is the results page I need help converting:
