ggardenour	posted on September 7, 2008 05:17:36 AM new Anybody know the HTML code or where to get the HTML code to put a search box for my store in my listings?
vintageads4u	posted on September 7, 2008 05:35:58 AM new Have you looked on the Photo/html board on eBay? Moody Mommy has one that I think her sister did for her, so she may come along in a min with some help. Beth http://shop.vendio.com/vintageads4u
ggardenour	posted on September 7, 2008 05:40:03 AM new Beth, Thanks I will give it a look see. Any help with this would be great.
ggardenour	posted on September 7, 2008 07:22:10 AM new I found this code <form method="get" action="http://stores.ebay.com/YOUR STORE NAME HERE/search/search.dll"> <input type="hidden" name="sojs" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="from" value="R40"> <input type="text" maxlength="300" name="satitle" size="20"> <input type="submit" value="Search"> </form> The problem now is that it works great BUT if I do specific search like "1942" it just goes to my store front page It does not show search results for just "1942" What Am I missing?

neglus	posted on September 7, 2008 07:39:06 AM new If you use Vendio, I test by pending a listing...you put in the code and then preview the listing to see how it works. I added it to my custom listing text so I don't have to worry about it once it was set up. ------------------------------------- http://stores.ebay.com/Moody-Mommys-Marvelous-Postcards?refid=store
ggardenour	posted on September 7, 2008 02:55:33 PM new It looks great but I be a bit sloooooow Where the &&&& sign appears, insert the ebay html name of your store Are you referring to the http://ebay.store/my store name? Where the @@@@ sign appears, insert your seller id number. Is this my seller id: ggardenour or is there an actual number. If there is an actual # I will feel mighty stupid that after 9 year I didn't even know I had a number Thanks so much for the help the box looks great but now if I do a search on "1942" I get ALL of ebays listings
neglus	posted on September 7, 2008 03:48:28 PM new where the $$$$ appears: The Ad Store where the &&& appears: The-Ad-Store Where the @@ appears: 7089362 (You do have a seller id #. I found it when I used the URL of the search box ebay provides.) - no spaces between the number and the Z. Here is a yellow box - you can edit the text size, color and wording and font in the Vendio text editor. You can change the color or let me know what color you want and I can try to find it. Just copy this in a pending listing and show preview and you should get to YOUR STORE and search JUST your store: <!-- Start search box --></b><table bgcolor="#ffffcc" border="5" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" width="295"><tbody><tr><td nowrap="nowrap" valign="top"> <form name="search" method="get" action="http://search.stores.ebay.com/search/search.dll"><font style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;" size="4"> <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Search </span><b style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">THE AD STORE EBAY STORE</b></font> <br><input name="MfcISAPICommand" value="GetResult" type="hidden"> <input name="sid" value="7089362" type="hidden"> <input name="store" value="The-Ad-Store" type="hidden"> <input name="colorid" value="6" type="hidden"> <input name="fp" value="0" type="hidden"><input name="query" maxlength="35" size="20" type="text">  <input value="Search" type="submit"><br><input name="srchdesc" value="y" checked="checked" type="checkbox"><font size="2"> Search titles <b>and</b> descriptions</font></form></td> </tr> </tbody></table> <!-- End search box --> I tested it with "1942" and I got about 56 listings (I forget the exact number) ------------------------------------- http://stores.ebay.com/Moody-Mommys-Marvelous-Postcards?refid=store [ edited by neglus on Sep 7, 2008 03:52 PM ]

ggardenour	posted on September 7, 2008 06:18:05 PM new Neglus, Simply awesome. My eBay number which I am still looking for was the hitch. Let me know what I owe you and your paypal addy. Thanks again for your time and effort.
neglus	posted on September 7, 2008 08:05:37 PM new No charge - glad you can use it! I think the seller id number used to be more visible (ie on My Ebay URL etc.) Now the only place I could find it was in the url when I used the ebay provided store search box. ------------------------------------- http://stores.ebay.com/Moody-Mommys-Marvelous-Postcards?refid=store
