Prepopulate fields in Registration

Hi,

I want people first to subscribe to my list, and then to become a free member.

What I am trying to accomplish it to GET the name and email from the query string returned by Aweber. I wonder if this could maybe be accomplished by creating some kind of themplates and with something similar to

[s2Member-Pro-PayPal-Form ...template="registration_getaweberinfo.php" /]

?

Thanks!
Santi

Hi Santi,

You can set up List Integration for Free Subscribers (WP Admin -> s2Member -> API/List Servers -> AWeber Integration) and then create a Free Registration Form (WP Admin -> s2Member -> PayPal Pro-Forms -> PayPal Pro / Free Registration Forms).

Then when your free users sign up via the form, their account will be created and they will automatically be subscribed to the AWeber list that you configured.

Will that work?

No, that was not the idea, the idea is to First subscribe to my list, and then become a free member, if they are so inclined.

I did figure it out anyway, so I will post for the benefit of anybody that comes across this dilemma.

Short answer to my question above was “yes”, as I figured out from this forum response from Cristián. Nevertheless, there was a problem: Aweber sends back in the query string the variable name and WP does not like it, it yields a 404. So here are the steps I took to solve this problem:

1. In theme functions, I added:

   add_action('init','change_querystring_name');	
   
   function change_querystring_name() {
   if(isset($_GET['name'])){
   	$_GET['aname'] = $_GET['name'];
   	unset($_GET['name']);
   	}
   }

   That take care of the 404 when you post back from Aweber, plus it allows you to use ‘aname’ variable in the code.

2. As suggested above, open a copy of wp-content/pluging/s2member-pro/includes/templates/forms/paypal-registration-form.php
3. Modify to your liking, including, for example

   <input name="[email]" [...] value=" [php echo $_GET['email']; ] "> 

4. Save on your theme folder and call from shortcode as per my original question.

Hope this helps someone.

Thanks for sharing that. Nice work!
