Store Last URL Visited before Registration

s2Member Team,
I want to be able to identify the last page my users see before registering for FREE on my site (level 0, free acces).

Ideally, I want to store a URL or specific Page parameter in their profile so I can segment my email lists. I’ve seen the notification features, but can’t figure out how to make them fit.

Any easy way of doing this?

Thanks!
Angie

Hi Angie,

There are several ways to accomplish this, but all will require a bit of custom coding on your part.

You could utilize the custom= attribute in a Pro-Form shortcode to pass the URL of the last visited page via cv1 through the signup process and then use the Tracking or Signup Notification area (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Tracking -› Signup Tracking Codes or Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Notifications -› Signup Notifications) to catch that cv1 variable (using %%cv1%%) and then write some code to store the URL on the users profile.

You could also create a Custom Registration field that remains hidden on the Pro-Form but gets pre-filled with the last visited URL (you’d need to edit the Pro-Form templates and add the necessary PHP code to pre-fill a hidden field; see Pre Sale FAQs » Is it possible to modify s2Member® Pro Form templates?)).

Thanks Raam. I feel comfortable putting some code in and deep diving into this, but want to make sure your suggestion still applies:

1) By Pro-Forms, are you referring to Paypal Pro-Forms or “S2member Pro” forms?

I want to make sure that I get this right before I invest a couple of hours on it. I’m just interested on the last page the free sign ups come from (I don’t care about the users who pay).

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Angie

Yes, he’s talking about the s2Member Pro forms.
