Just been playing with this mod...
Great idea...well done snork13
Here's a couple of enhancements to tidy it up.....at least for SMF 1.1 RC2 - Theme Green
Place this Ebay graphic
into your theme's bbc folder:-
Themes -
default theme -
images -
bbc -
This will give you a proper "Ebay" button....
Next open the theme's Post.template.php file (save a copy of the original)
seach for "ebay" along that line replace "Ebay Item" with something like "Insert Ebay item number"...
Save and upload to your smf folder....
This will give more info for your users on the mouseover....
This works on our forum here...

....further enhancements......
Maybe you want the Ebay Item to come up within "Ebay.co.uk" instead of Ebay.com
and maybe instead of displaying Ebay Item #12345678 on your forum a nice little Ebay graphic...
Item #12345678
Here's what to do....
Make a copy of the Subs.php file in the Sources folder...
Search for this section in Subs.php (this is the only place "ebay" crops up, so put that in the find field)
Edit the .com to .co.uk
If you want the graphic add the image tag as shown here....
The red bit is the URL of where your forum is...
The green bit is your default theme folder and/or the theme folder you are using...
(I'm using Theme Green)
Upload your edited version of Subs.php and bob's your uncle.....
(please make sure you have a working copy of Subs.php before you play)

Hi aussieholden,
I'm running with SMF 1.1 RC2
I downloaded the mod and it installed just fine with the package installer in the ACP.
My forum has a heavily customised theme.
It all works fine.
So perhaps that's the starting point. Get the original mod installed and working, then work on the extras.
I'm afraid I can offer no real practical help with why the mod isn't working with your setup.

@aussieholden
This mod was made for 1.1rc2, so no update needed. If you have other mods installed it may be the problem. This mod changes two files, they are:
$themedir/Post.template.php
$sourcedir/Subs.php
The mod only changes the default theme, so if you have a custom theme you will need to change the code manually. Please refer to the ebay_tag.xml file for modifications.
You may want to check your files against the modifications .xml

Running SMF 1.1.4
Just tried to install this and got a "package zip is either corrupt or not compatible with SMF - install cancelled" error
When will the zip get updated? I'd really like to have this one on our forum.

I think it would be better if you were able to enter the URL, and then the mod changed it to the action title?
That is what I thought it was going to do when I installed it.

Hi,
it should same code for 1.1.11
I've changed code a bit to use new Ebay Widget "ToGo" - Just insert this into Subs.php instead of original code out of the mod:
