Hello UBB'ers
I have been think a long time now if there is a way to add a ebay media tag.
Not a video tag like the you tube or my space but still similar.

I'm thinking that it should be possible just to add the ebay item no in the popup menue and hit enter or put the entirely url in the popup window.
Now you may think its possible thru the link button but here is my twist.

Most of us have surely joined the ebay partner network and created campaigns links, I would like to use my Forum campaign id on ebay to be included within the link that the media/link tag generates thru the popup window.
After all it is when the member clicks on a link on our forums the traffic generates to ebay.

Do you follow me? see below link I used the campid=5337067648 to promote item=112179606421 for one of our members when he wanted to advertise a motorcycle on the forum HOWEVER I made this MANUALLY. the goal must be to autogenerate these links.
Thanks for you help
Morgan

Well, you'd make a tag named "ebay" then make the user insert the auctionid; then have the custom bbcode output the link with that product (keeping everything that needs to be static, static).

If you're looking to create a tag yourself, versus hiring a developer, you should look at a more simple existing tag, like the old MySpace Video tag at UBBDev:
https://www.ubbdev.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/316983/custom-tag-myspace.html

You'll see how it simply grabs the id out of the url, then where that variable is populated to the "resulting markup" and just replace all of that with how the embedded URL would look on your forums.
