Modify BANS to Include eBay Store Items

There has been a lot of discussion over at the BANS and ePN forums about modifying the BANS code to the new eBay RSS feeds that include store inventory. I thought I would give it a shot last night and this is what I came up with.

It’s still a work in progress but if you’re links aren’t cloaked then this is a good fix for ya. I will post updates when I get the cloaked links converted.

Edit the FrontControl.php (found in the cont folder)

• Search for RSSFEEDS
• Replace:

• Edit index.php (webroot of store)
• Replace every occurrence of: href="'.$link.'"
• with: href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=4&toolid=10001&campid='.CJID.'&customid=&mpre='.$link.'"

I know it looks like a jumbled mess (which it is) but this is after a long day of deciphering  ebay’s rss codes. I will go over all the options and what they mean in a future post just in case anyone cares.

If you have any questions leave a comment and me or Rich will try to respond as soon as we can.

Thanks
