Scripting Help

I've just had a look at the e-bay content highlighted in the previous thread and it looks bloody handy.

I was hoping to have a range of these scripts and display a different one each time a user visited the page in which they would be held, sort of like a banner rotator.

Thing is I don't know how to do this using the javascript provided by e-bay.

Any help would be great.

Just generate the javascript via the Editor Tool at cgi3.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?EKCreate

NOTE: You need to be a registered eBay member to access the tool.

Here is the simple "How To Do" :-

Say for example you wanted to show Playstation items:

1. Select your affiliate provider, in this case 'Commission Junction'
2. Enter your Commission Junction tracking id. Thats the number after the "click-" in a CJ link. eg.

www.qksrv.net/click-123456

3. Enter a Search Term, lets say "playstation"
4. Enter some seller ids if you just want to show results from certain sellers or dont bother with it.
5. Enter the eBay UK Category Number you want to search in, lets say "220" which is the main Toys category number
6. Enter a price range to search or dont bother
7. Display options and Graphics options are self explanatory
8. Preview the code
9. For the UK you need to change the following in the generated JS "siteid=0" to "siteid=3"

Paste the finished code into the relevant page.

Works a treat for me, pity Ebay UK don't seem to be registering (or reporting) leads at the moment!

The tool seems to work ok for all eBay sites, however it was clearly designed with just the ebay.com site in mind as it quite often does not recognise eBay UK sub-category numbers so I found it best to use the main/head category numbers to be safe

I've managed to get the E-Bay javascript displaying perfectly. I just need to enable a different script to be displayed each time the page is refreshed, like a banner rotator but for the content.

I've come up with this

it might be a bit buggy so let me know if there's any errors and if its any use i'll post it tomorrow

Keith, your script is the kind of thing I was after. Only problem is my hosting doesn't have PHP at this precise moment (will make sure I have it when I renew:-).

In the meantime though I was after something in ASP. If there's nothing easy don't worry too much about it.

Sorry Adi no can do on the ASP front only just sratching the surface with php thanks to being inspired by Aquanuke.
If you can find a text rotator for ASP you may be able to modify it for use with the eBay script.

Aqua i've been using something similar to your script with both ebay.com and ebay.co.uk for a couple of months best thing about it is that if you put some keyword links up Google crawls the results. www.google.com/search?q=a...1&filter=0

Hi

Have you both written your own eBay PHP scripts or are they based on a public one? I'd rather use PHP than javascript.

Thanks
