Wanted: Service Script help needed

[DomainAuction]

Hello,

Could someone help me? I have MostWatched.co.uk running an eBay script. It is showing ads from eBay.com

Would anyone know how to make it show eBay UK auctions instead? I believe the site is using the 'eBay Tool kit'

I know very little about coding but can manage to change things if someone could tell me where to change them.

Hope someone can help

I can't find the script you are referring to...

Thanks for that. I got the site code changed but it wont show £ signs just a ? in place of that. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

yes - you need to adjust your code page let me check:

Try this:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

works for me!

when you enter the £, use

Thanks very much for all your help. There is just one thing, i think the catagory codes are different in some cases with ebay UK and US, from the link below where is the catagory id:

src="http://lapi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?EKServer&ai=dtjhui&bdrcolor=FFCC00&cid=0&eksize=1&encode=ISO-8859-1&endcolor=FF0000&endtime=y&fbgcolor=FFFFFF&fntcolor=000000&fs=0&hdrcolor=FFFFCC&hdrimage=1&hdrsrch=n&img=y&lnkcolor=0000FF&logo=2&num=200&numbid=y&paypal=n&popup=n&prvd=1&r0=4&shipcost=n&siteid=3&sort=MetaEndSort&sortby=endtime&sortdir=asc&srchdesc=n&tbgcolor=FFFFFF&tlecolor=FFCE63&tlefs=0&tlfcolor=000000&track=2594209&watchcat=1305&width=570">

ebay squirts the html down in an iframe or writes it using javascript or something; that meta tag will fix it. eg:

http://www.fanfinder.co.uk/search/domain_names.aspx

 

[stevebrowne]

&query=MY+SEARCH+TERM&

I use search terms, so try your search phrase in that format

on some of the catagories it brings up the wrong one, but when it was set to the us site it came up with the right items.

i just cant see the catagory id to change in that above thread of code

I think your using a third party script, they have preset the cats fir US.

You will probs need to hardcode it for UK or get a UK version of the script. Or write your own for UK.

it's right at the end:

&watchcat=15032

change that number
