Maybe I should have been more clear. The default code that you copy and paste is fussy when used in WP. It's easy to screw up the code be simply moving a line break or paragraph near it.



The alternate is the plugin for WP with simple short codes. This is clean and works really well, but it causes issues in the "WordPress admin panel". There seems to be an incompatibility. While the plugin does correctly insert the cart buttons, it breaks things with the "WP Admin" menus.



I'm not sure if EJ makes the plugin or someone else. I'd just like a better solution. Either a plugin that's updated or a cleaner copy and paste code that plays nicer with WP.

The WP E-junkie plugin was independently developed by a client of ours who saw a need for it. We would suggest contacting him with your concerns:

Our button code can be a bit finicky about proper nesting of HTML tags, regardless of WordPress, and especially so with the FORM-based button code used for Variants/Variations menus -- e.g., as explained here:

1http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/2497#post128571



It helps to think of the start and end tags for various elements in HTML as defining the edges of a container; you can put containers inside or next to other containers, but one container cannot overlap or intersect with another container. This page goes into more detail:

The View Source Chart extension for Firefox (also developed by a fellow E-junkie client, as it happens :^) provides a handy way of visualizing this for the source code of any actual page:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/view-source-chart/

I think the WP admin text editor was updated in WP 3.2. Therefore the WP Ejunkie plugin needs to be updated to use the new text editor function. I will try to update it when I have some time. But I might end up having to fix it again when WP 3.3 launches, because they are changing the editor again.

Hi,



Is it possible to customize with this fantastic Wordpress plugin all the text labels like "country1" and "state1", for instance?

If so, how? From the wpejunkie_functions.php file?, from the "Optional e-Junkie HTML" field when editing an e-Junkie Shopping Cart Item?



Thank you. Regards,

Luis

This help page explains how to use our cart customization code:

1http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/help.custom-cart.htm1



If you're using the WP E-junkie plugin, that already adds the script portions of our View Cart code to every page automatically, so you can just add cart customization code to each page manually (e.g., perhaps in a common footer area), where it must be enclosed in SCRIPT tags like so:



<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

function EJEJC_config() {

EJEJC_POSTCALL=true;

}

function EJEJC_shown() {

jQuery("#country1").attr("innerHTML", "Ship to Country");

jQuery("#state1").attr("innerHTML", "ZIP/Postal Code");

jQuery("#state2").attr("innerHTML", "Update Cart after entering");

jQuery("#dscnt_cd").attr("innerHTML", "Discount Code");

jQuery("#discount2").attr("innerHTML", "Update Cart after entering");

jQuery("#btnContShop").attr("value", "Continue Shopping");

jQuery("#btnUpdtCart").attr("value", "Update Cart");

jQuery("#EJEJC_closeWindowButton").attr("innerHTML", "<b>Close</b>");

}

</script>

Hello:



Thank you for the response.



Actually, the issue is solved without using this plugin by replacing 'jQuery' by ''ejejc_jQuery.



I haven't tried the same workaround with the wp-ejunkie plugin although I'm sure the issue can be solved that way too.



You can see the other thread explaining this issue in:

Thank you again E-junkieGuru for the tip! Best regards,

It doesn't look like the plugin is being maintained. It would be great if ejunkie picked up the code and maintained it. Wordpress self-hosted has a big following and you're missing out on some business.

Hi everyone,



It became too time consuming to maintain this plugin for free. I would be happy to turn the code over to the E-Junkie Crew. Just let me know if that is something you guys would like to do? Or if someone would like to make a considerable donation, I would be happy to spend some time on it and get it working again.



Seth Shoultes

Thank you Seth for what you have done!!!! Much appreciated. E-junkie, will you pick it up and continue the plugin?

At present, all our spare development resources are dedicated to the new Admin project, but perhaps once we complete that, we might be able to look into updating the WP E-junkie plugin.



Seth, might you be willing to hand off the plugin to another developer to update and maintain going forward? If so, I've got some candidates in mind to recommend.

This plugin looks good, but has two years is not updated.



It would be fantastic to e-junkie update this plugin or create your own, there are plans for this.?

We might consider adopting the WP E-junkie plugin or writing our own once we finish other major internal development projects for E-junkie itself. That said, adding E-junkie buttons to a WordPress site is extremely simple and typically trouble-free (especially if you use the Raw HTML plugin) -- just copy the ready-made button codes we provide and paste them into your WP pages/posts wherever you want the buttons to appear. This help page provides some tips you may find useful, including some tips for WP in particular:

Thank you for your prompt response.



True, it is easy to put code in wordpress e-junkie.



Hopefully then they can pick wp e-junkie or design a new one, it would be great something like wp e-commerce or WooCommerce, that can make even more dynamic service that gives excellent e-junkie.



Soon.

Hi E-junkie guru,

If you don't join the wordpress community with a plugin soon I predict you will have difficulty competing for space in the wordpress arena. Woo commerce and easy digital downloads are already ahead of you making it easy to add a shopping cart to wordpress sites. As soon as I build out my new website and move into the wordpress site I will be using a different shopping cart than ejunkie. One that maintains all my product information and download information within my wordpress site.



Lou Anne

E-junkie should work fine with any WP storefront-builder theme or plugin, though if that comes with its own shopping cart functionality built-in, you'd need to disable or not use that cart, so you could use E-junkie cart buttons instead. You'd simply paste E-junkie button codes into your storefront's product descriptions.



The inherent nature of E-junkie as cloud-based "software as a service", which is centrally-managed on our servers and shared in common among all our sellers, means that it can never maintain all your product and download information entirely self-contained within your own Web site, whether you're using WP or otherwise. E-junkie will always require defining your product and cart settings at our end, regardless of how you manage product listing pages in your online storefront site.



You can at least store your download files on your own Web site server and have us pull the files from there to deliver securely to your buyers. This Remotely Hosted Downloads feature is included with plans that support digital products starting at $18/mo and up:

Is the WP e-junkie plugin still available? The website seems to be gone.

The plugin was user created and hasn't been updated in some time, it is no longer compatible with the current version of Wordpress.

OK. I'm working on a solution to Wordpress and Google Analytics. I will post what I did once I have it fine tuned.

The independent developer of that E-junkie WordPress plugin has abandoned it, but fortunately that plugin is not necessary to simply paste our button codes into a WP site.
