No, unfortunately it grabs products from all sellers. Perhaps in a future release, I may add an option to limit the results to certain sellers.

I don't want to display certain types of products, I want to display the products that say, 10 different people are selling on ebay, each on a different page, will this work for that? can I search for their ebay user name?

Campaign id. Everything is from the main Amazon store (no third-party
stores).

Will this plugin work with a store id or do you have to have a campaign id?

You bet. Glad that at least it works w/ smart ads.

same thing, it's not a big deal, it's working great with the smart ads plugin, so I'm cool with it. Thanks for all your help

Perhaps if you simplify the code, you can isolate the issue. How about if
you just try [ebay campaignid="YOUR-CAMPAIGN-ID"
keywords="YOUR-STORE-KEYWORDS"] and replace YOUR-CAMPAIGN-ID and
YOUR-STORE-KEYWORDS appropriately. Does it still break?

Just chatted with my friend, and his is working fine now. He had missed a bracket. My issue still persists, so I'm going to assume that it's my wordpress that's messed up.

That's bizarre. I'll have to try it out on another WordPress 2.8.5 blog I haven't yet installed it on and see if I get the same issue.

I was using the html editor when I got this error – and also using html editor on friends site with same results

That small issue aside, your plugin works great and was just what I was looking for. Thanks

It sounds like you're using the visual editor, so that may be the problem.
Try clicking the HTML tab and then adding the code.

That said, I've got it to work fine using the “Smart Ads” plugin

I don't have any article editing plugin. The brackets don't change, they just disappear, and the commas change from straight to curly commas. I assumed that it was something to do with the wordpress theme, so I tested a number of themes with same result. I've even had a friend test it on a different hosted domain with similar results:

The following is the output of the code on the post page unaltered. The results are the same regardless of what I do to the script, notice the brackets are gone, but the commas change:

ebay campaignid=”YOUR-CAMPAIGN-ID” keywords=”YOUR-STORE-KEYWORDS” rows=”NUMBER-OF-ROWS-YOU-WANT-TO-DISPLAY” columns=”NUMBER-OF-COLUMNS-YOU-WANT-TO-DISPLAY” pagination=”yes” vertical=”yes”

When you save the article/page and re-open, the brackets are converted to
braces? Are you using some kind of article editing plugin perhaps?

I'm using the latest WordPress 2.8.5.

By: GeekLad

GeekLad — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 18:44:16 +0000

That's odd, I haven't seen WordPress change square brackets to curly braces.
What version of WordPress are you using?

By: Oto

Oto — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 18:41:23 +0000

didn't work for me in post, I think the reason for it is that the enclosing double quotes are being changed by wordpress from a straight quotes to curly ones, and therefore not being read as code correctly. I tried the code in widget and using third party ad software and worked fine, just not in post.

If you set it up for pagination and page through them, you should see older auctions. I don't know that there's really any any other way around this at this time. I may have to add in a sort parameter to show the newest auctions.
