Can someone PLEASE let this site use eBay tags? At another site I go to (AtariAge), you can just put the eBay tag like so:
[ebay]151693405097[/ebay]

and it will automatically create the link to the eBay auction. With a site like this, it should be done.

Have you tried the URL code? It may take a few more steps but you’ll be able to accomplish a nice result.

Example: eBay

Here is that example with the “Xoops Code” check box enabled.

eBay

It is unfortunately not possible to define custom tags in Xoops without hacking them in.

But I don’t quite get the purpose of such an ebay tag anyway, and you did’t provide any real arguments either. What would be the advantage to the user? Wouldn’t using it take even more time and effort than just copy and pasting in the complete link? STRG+L,C,V and you’re done, the forum software makes the link clickable automatically. Or am I missing something?

Just out of curiosity, does this site only allow the standard bbcode tags to be used, so all of the tags found here:

Or does it allow any additional tags and effects to be used?

I’m actually curious to see if all of the tags in the table I referenced will work on this site, since the webpage I referenced said that some of the tags on the list are less likely to be supported than the others, though they are popular. Thus, here goes my experiment:

Okay. I think I figured out most of the proper tags now, but I’m not sure if this site does some of the other effects.
