Ok, First off I have been trying this till I am blue in the face for 3 days straight. This is my last attempt for help before I cancel my e-junkie account.



I currently am using paypal with no problem at all and how everything is set up is with 1 Dropdown Menu for the users to pick the amount of Views that want to purchase. Each amount is a different price. Then I have a text box for them to input there Video URL so we will know which video that need views in. Using Paypal it works like a charm.



I want to use e-junkie to be more professional and I just can't figure out how to do this to save my life. I have read every tutorial you have on picking VARIANTS - affect price (dropdowns only) & VARIATIONS - provide you more information about the product (dropdowns and textfields)



I need help so bad, I know that this can be done. Do I need to add each amount of views to my market place first them some how compile it all in code?



Can you please please give me 1 example code how to do this, this is insane the amount of time I have spent to do 1 simple thing lol.



Thank you so much

You would need to enable both "Variants having individual price/weight/stock/SKU" and also "Variations which tell more about the product..." Your Views dropdown would be configured as Option1 for Variants, and your Video URL text field would be configured as Option1 in Variations, where you'd leave the list of Option1Values blank to get a text field in your button code.

My friend I have done that. I have done that combination plus about 20+ more. Yes it creates the drop down menu and the textbox but no values. I have about 10 different entries I need to add to the drop down menu but as it says in the instructions you can only add the same amount of variants as you have options. Honestly I have been testing and testing and testing way too long brother.



Now I can go add it all through html but then it says the items are not added you know.



e-junkieguru, this is a very common task, why does it seem just about impossible to do with e-junkie?



Here is an example of me doing exactly what you have mentioned sir:



In Define Variants Having...

For Option 1 - I name it numofviews



Now I need to add 2,500;5,000;10,000;15;000;20,000;40,000;60,000 & 100,000 (That is 8 items I need in the drop down menu with different prices for each(Keep in mind this is a digital service, not tangible)



So for the values I will put this:



vi1,17.99,0.00,0,numofviews,,

vi2,27.99,0.00,0,numofviews,,

vi3,37.99,0.00,0,numofviews,,

vi4,47.99,0.00,0,numofviews,,

vi5,57.99,0.00,0,numofviews,,

vi6,77.99,0.00,0,numofviews,,

vi7,87.99,0.00,0,numofviews,,

vi8,97.99,0.00,0,numofviews,,



That is all the proper values to my understanding. I even have tried it with out the ,,(two commas at the end as well)



What blows my mind as well is that there isn't even no where, where I can name each item in the dropdown menu



Ex. 2,500 Video Views

5,000 Video Views

10,000 Video Views etc...



Now I see in the next section that I can but it isn't the same thing, buddy am I just trying to do something that e-junkie can't do. I would like to tell my self I'm not because this is a simple common usage. I have seen this used in this way all over the place for many years. Its common to need a dropdown menu with multiple items with diff prices.



Then for the next I can get the textbox made just find.



E-JUNKIEGURU, you are a GURU pleeeeeeeeeeeeez help me my friend, pleeeeeeeez :slight_smile:

First, you would want to Name your Options in a way that buyers can understand -- e.g., Variants Option1Name: Number of Views, and Variations Option 1 Name: Your Video URL.



Then, when you configure Variants, you would add a line defining every possible buyer-selectable option in the order specified there:

SKU,Price,Ounces,Stock,Option1Value,Option2Value,Option3Value



This is where you would define the values that buyers can pick from the menu. Since you have only the one Option using Variants, you would leave Option2Value and Option3Value empty (but keep the commas that separate one position from the next) and only specify the range of Option1Values, like so:



vi1,17.99,0.00,0,2500,,

vi2,27.99,0.00,0,5000,,

vi3,37.99,0.00,0,10000,,

vi4,47.99,0.00,0,15000,,

vi5,57.99,0.00,0,20000,,

vi6,77.99,0.00,0,40000,,

vi7,87.99,0.00,0,60000,,

vi8,97.99,0.00,0,100000,,



Now, there is one small issue here; you will notice I did not use a comma to mark the thousands place in the number of views, because we are already using commas to separate one position from the next on each line. You can just keep it like my example, or if you must mark the thousands place, you will need to modify the button code when you paste it into your page, like so:



<form action="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?c=cart&i=XXXXXX&cl=83470&ejc=2" target="ejejc" method="POST" accept-charset="UTF-8">

Views:<br/>

<select name="o1">

<option value="2500">2,500</option>

<option value="5000">5,000</option>

<option value="10000">10,000</option>

<option value="15000">15,000</option>

<option value="20000">20,000</option>

<option value="40000">40,000</option>

<option value="60000">60,000</option>

<option value="100000">100,000</option>

</select>

<br/>

<input type="image" src="http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/ejadd_to_cart.gif" border="0" alt="Add to Cart" class="ec_ejc_thkbx" onClick="javascript:return EJEJC_lc(this.parentNode);"/>

</form>



Note here that the value= must exactly match the values in your Variants lines, but you can make the part after that, which is what buyers actually see in the menu, say whatever you want.

That done the trick my friend, that done the trick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



The only thing I was confused about now that I understand was at the end of the string was actually just each label of each item in the dropdown menu. I'm sure many people have had to misunderstand this as well. I think that they can reword it just a little bit in the instructions and it would help out a lot. I was thinking that the name of the variant goes there and that you could only use up to the same amount of options you have.



Very well explained my man, they need to let you rewrite the instructions to the users.



By the 1 last simple ?, it's ok to use my own add to cart image right? It doesn't violate any TOS does it.



thanks my friend,



God Bless
