Mailchimp signup before viewing page content

Hi!

i need visitors to sign up for the free newsletter before watching a video on one specific Page.
The video is in a custom field and therefore it won’t work with a regular password protected Page.

Would you guys think it’s the best to let the visitors register as s2Member Level 0 and automatically sign up for the newsletter as they do… even though this is only for one single Page? The video is like a preview before they’ll buy the whole video course.

OR..

Would it be better to have a mailchimp sign-up form sort of “floatin” on top of the page and as they sign up they can see the content? (if this would be better; does any one know where to refer me to make it possible?

Thanks!

Hi Malin,

You could use either method, but I would recommend using s2Member to automate the MailChimp subscription. That way, you can redirect them straight to the video page after they login.

If you want to use the second method, you’ll need to find a plugin that creates a popup over the page. Then you’ll add the MailChimp signup box to the popup. However, that might get tricky too because the visitor will probably be directed to another page after signing up. They’ll also need to verify their subscription by clicking the link in the email they receive.

If you sign them up using the free membership option, you can disable the confirmation email that gets sent out and subscribe them silently (see here).

Thanks!
Yes, it seems better the first option.
Just that I already have a redirection after they buy the video class….
I guess I need to do a separate redirection for Level 0 ?

Yes, that would make sense. You can use the current_user_is(“s2member_level1”) to check that with a conditional (see Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Advanced PHP Conditionals).

Hi!

Alright, I managed to have 2 different login welcome pages… IF i named them e.g. my-profile-0 and my-profile-1

I did this in General Options/Login Welcome Page:
http://prkiosken.se/min-profil-%%current_user_level%%/

It works fine… BUT I would love to have 2 completely different names of the Pages…
For level1: http://prkiosken.se/min-profil/
For Level2: http://prkiosken.se/gratis-smakprov/

Mainly because we’ve been tracking “gratis smakprov” and I want it too keep its name.

I read somewhere this could be done with java script redirecting… but I have no clue how to do that.

Anyone who knows?

Hi Malin,

You could use some code similar to this redirect example for the Membership Options Page. Set a single Login Welcome Page where all users are sent to and then use some code on that page to determine their level and then redirect them to the correct place.

Hi!

Sorry, that’s not working for me, they all end up at the first login welcome page… (which is using a template where I added the code.

Am I doing something wrong?

Here’s where I made changes in the code…
Specific Page/Post ID; i picked the ID of the page where they registered; http://prkiosken.se/gratis-smakprov-registering/.
Purchase page, is in my case my second login welcome page

case "1120": // Specific Page/Post ID
$purchase_page = "http://prkiosken.se/gratis-smakprov-test/ "; // Purchase page
break;

Isn’t there a way to use level 0 instead of page ID?

Hi Malin,

That code is designed for use on the Membership Options Page; I was suggesting you look there for ideas on how to redirect.

You probably want to do something like this on the Login Welcome Page:

<?php
// Check current user level and set purchase page       
if (current_user_is("s2member_level0")) {
	$purchase_page = "http://prkiosken.se/gratis-smakprov-test/";
}
if (current_user_is("s2member_level1")) {
	$purchase_page = "http://prkiosken.se/some-other-page";
}

// Use JavaScript to redirect to the correct purchase page
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
window.location = "<?php echo $purchase_page; ?>";
//-->
</script>

Thank you so much, this works perfectly!

Yeah, haha, I’m not a hacker :)

You’re welcome, Malin! Glad I could help. :)
