Aweber and custom signup fields

Please refer to:

http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/aweber-integration-2/?qcAC=1#post-17408

Do yo have an actual example with aweber.com? Obviously the filter names will not have mail chimp but I tried a substitute of aweber for mailchimp and it does not seem to be working.

Here is my code:

add_filter(‘ws_plugin__s2member_aweber_merge_array’, ‘aweber_merge’, 10, 2);
function aweber_merge($merge, $vars)
{
$cfields = get_user_option(‘wp_s2member_custom_fields’, $vars[‘user_id’]);

return array_merge($merge, array(‘SCHOOL_CODE’ => $cfields[‘school_code’], ‘HIGH_SCHOOL_NAME’ => $cfields[‘high_school_name’]));
}

both high_school_name and school_code are valid unique ids for the custom registration fields

Hi Edward,

That filter does not exist within s2Member. Unlike MailChimp, AWeber’s API doesn’t support a merge array, so the same functionality isn’t possible. If you need to pass custom registration fields to your list server, I recommend using MailChimp.

Aweber can take any field through the same email mechanism that you send the name and email address, its just a matter of putting the custom fields into the email on the s2member side and configuring the parser on aweber’s side. There is no way to do that? I was actually kind of surprised that that is not the default behavior.

Hi Edward,

Thank you for your patience on this. I’ve heard back from the lead developer and he confirmed that currently s2Member is using the email mechanism to integrate with Aweber. The next big release of s2Member will use Aweber’s API instead, which includes much better support for integration.

In the meantime, you can use the following hack to send the Custom Registration Fields in the email that’s sent to Aweber for new subscriptions:

Create this file and directory: /wp-content/mu-plugins/s2-hacks.php

<?php
add_filter('ws_plugin__s2member_aweber_msg', 'my_aweber_subscribe_command_via_email', 10, 2);
function my_aweber_subscribe_command_via_email($msg, $vars = array())
{
	$user_id = $vars&#91;'user_id'&#93;;
	
	$my_custom_field_value = get_user_field ('my_custom_field_id', $user_id);
	# A Unique Field ID you configured with s2Member.
	
	$msg .= "\n".'my_custom_field_id : '. $my_custom_field_value ;
	
	return $msg;
}
?>

The default email message that is sent to AWeber looks like this. So the hack above, is just appending additional details, which you may want to parse (i.e. via your AWeber Email Parser for s2Member inside your Aweber account):

s2Member w/ PayPal Email ID
Ad Tracking: www.example.com
EMail Address: johndoe22@example.com
Buyer: John Doe
Full Name:  John Doe 
First Name:  John
Last Name: Doe
IP Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
User ID: 1
Login: johndoe22
Role: s2member_level1
Level: 1
CCaps: music,videos
- end.

I will give that a try but right now my aweber seems to have stopped working completely. It was doing the default fields fine. I can test my parser in aweber with a sample message s2member sent me and it fires the rule and parses.

Are there certain email addresses that have to match addresses in aweber for the parser to work. It seems I read something like that somewhere, not sure if on your site or aweber but I can’t seen to find it.

When I try to send an email by hand to the passac-members@aweber.com it bounces back:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at mail1.aweber.com.
I’m afraid I wasn’t able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I’ve given up. Sorry it didn’t work out.

Hi Edward,

I’m not sure why the emails are bounding back from Aweber, but you may want to contact them to see if they can help you resolve that.
