Auction Side box

Greetings all;

I had a copy of the Mod that allowed you to list your Auctions that you have with Ebay on your side box, originally it was "geeks4u.com_zc_ebayauctions" but i didnt like a few things so i changed a few small things, the new version can be found at

http://www.delightsoftheflesh.com/privite/Ebay.rar

for a demo goto https://www.delightsoftheflesh.com/store/

Be Warned this site contains adult material, don't click the link unless you are over the age of 18.

Also while i was at it, i was making a addon for the Auction site Sexybay, I have done most of the work, but just need the URLs for Sexybay to bring up the results. I dont know what these URLs should be, can anyone help me with the finial stage,

the working progress is found that the URL

http://www.delightsoftheflesh.com/privite/Sexybay.rar

Re: Auction Side box

It is the "tpl_sexybayauctions_default.php" file that is causeing problems,

There are several URLS for Ebay and i dont know what they new URLs would be for Sexybay.

Re: Auction Side box

Re: Auction Side box

There is only one thing that i am having problem with. it is the following line.

// $End = "</p><SCRIPT SRC="http://include.ebay.com/aw/pics/js/stats/ss.js"></SCRIPT><SCRIPT SRC="http://include.ebay.com/aw/pics/js/stats/ss2.js"></SCRIPT><p>" or "indicates that auction has ended.";

Now i need to put that into the right context for Sexybay.com.au,

I have done 95 % of it, but i can't find the last part that i need. To see the code you can download the RAR files at

https://www.delightsoftheflesh.com/privite/Sexybay.rar

Also i changed the ebay model to make it more appealing for my shop,

Re: Auction Side box

Looks like Ebay made a change to their site. None of our auctions are pulling up now.

Re: Auction Side box

It isnt just the search, it must be something else,

the new search is

$URL = "http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZribfacQQhtZ-1";

with ribfac = UserID

that works normally, however still dosnt work with the ebay model.

Think that is the link for the normal page, wehen you come from Ebay Front end or if you want to set a standard link to ebay-auctions.

The problem is, that something in the Ebay API Structure has changed....and the tool is looking through the ebay API-Model and not from the front end...

:(

This is the link from the script:

http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand=ViewListedItems&userid=......

But if you put in a ebay username after userid=..... a Login-Page is comming up now...

Re: Auction Side box

I have the Contirb "Current Auctions" running in OSC, too - here it works, when I change the following line from:

$URL = "http://cgi6.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand=ViewListedItems&userid=$ebayid&since=$since&sort=$sort&rows=0";

to

$URL = "http://search.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand=ViewListedItems&userid=$ebayid&since=$since&sort=$sort&rows=0";

But the ZEN Cart Version is not working with this modification.....:down:

Re: Auction Side box

hmmmm...perhaps someone of the authors of the ebay contrib could change the code to work properly....but I think they forgot about Zen Cart...too few users worldwide and less interesting in supporting contribs for a small cummunity...:(

The Ebay contrib wasnt written by people from ebay and infact i doubt they gave any input into how to get it working in the first place. I have been to other Auctions sits like Sexybay and asked for assistance with the code and still havnt got any replies, wether it is they don't know themselves or maybe they don't want to help with the Contrib.

This might explain why ebay has all of a sudden changed their coding.

Re: Auction Side box

I think there are a lot of ebay API-Users with problems after ebay API changes - not only ZEN CART Ebaysidebox users....

I think this community is dead - no new contribs and no support for older contribs..I think I have to deactivate the sidebox or reduce it like an OSC Ebay Sidebox...or kick it away...at last perhaps i will not recommend ZEN CART to my customers any more.

Re: Auction Side box

Ours is working on the one website we have it installed on (not the site in my signature) and has been for awhile, but that one is a 1.2.7 version of Zen Cart if that makes a difference. :smile:

I'll finish that project tomorrow, I've made enough mistakes today!

Re: Auction Side box

Sure. It's: https://www.adriftwood.com

I think I got it from the downloads section before they redid everything. I've been using it for almost a year now.

Looks like it's still listed in the Archived Contributions HERE.

It's the geeks4u eBay contribution. Not sure if I used the first one or the second one listed though (or if they're even different).

HTH :smile:
