I have a web page that just goes directly to e-junkie. A click on my custom purchase button calls this page instead of exiting my site directly. This enables Google to accurately measure how long a user spends on the page before clicking the purchase button. This overcomes the problem that, without this, Google can't measure the time and so gives the page a time of zero.

It's a very simple page, short and sweet. It just contains a link to e-junkie, with the standard two parameters:

<html> <head>

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?c=cart&i=881&cl=46037&ejc=2" />

<title>Please wait...</title>

</head> <body> </body> </html>

But for a two product purchase, I need to send more parameters...

So, copying the ahref from Shivani's very helpful post at http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/2428, it seems that the ahref I need is:

<a href="javascript:EJEJC_multiAdd(Array('https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?c=cart&i=881&cl=46037&ejc =2','https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?c=cart&i=882&cl=46037&ejc =2'));">Add ALL</a>

Now my expertise in web-sites, html, and javascript is actually very, very limited, as is perhaps obvious from this query. Even the html above sorely tests the limit of my knowledge!

So how do I pass these extra parameters in my html call to e-junkie please? What do I need to do to my web-page to convert this more complex a-href into correct html?

All help and suggestions very much appreciated. Many, many thanks in advance.

I'm thinking perhaps you may be interested in our version of the Google Analytics tracking code, which adds support for tracking cart-button clicks:

The sort of thing you're asking about, converting a multiAdd href= URL to a page redirect, just will not work. What that multiAdd code is actually doing is making a clickable link such that, instead of linking to another page URL (which could work with a page redirect), it just calls a built-in function of our cart inside your page, telling it to display the cart on that same page while adding multiple items to the buyer's order.

Thanks so much for your clear, though naturally very disappointing answer.

It seems as though this is going to be far more complex than I originally thought. Way beyond my very limited capabilities.

Two responses have come to mind.

1) Please enhance e-junkie's capabilities to honour the pdf stamping request even on a package of two products. Then the difficulties caused by this limitation would completely go away.

2) How do I hire someone competent to implement the workaround for this limitation which means I need a Multiple Add product to continue to get pdf stamping on my products. Exactly what needs to be done? and what code is code required to put pdf stamping on my package, which is a paid product bundled with a freebie.

Where can I find someone capable of doing this?

If you need assistance or custom work done for functions not built-into E-junkie itself, we can recommend the competent, E-junkie-experienced developers listed at the "Developer Directory" link at the top of every page on our site.
