Tag member with traffic source

When someone signs up to become a member, is it possible to tag the wp database to show the traffic source for that member? This could either be an affiliate number or a traffic source. I would like to know where the user came from when he became the member.

Thanks,

Ray

You’d need to write your own custom code for this, but it’s certainly possible using s2Member’s hooks/filters.

How you implement this would depend on what you’re tracking. Is it a variable in the URL? (e.g., your signup page is called with /signup/?affiliate=someID.) Or do you just want to track the page that referred the person to your signup page? (e.g., using something like PHP’s $_SERVER[‘HTTP_REFERER’]; that will only work if they go from the referred page directly to your signup page, not referred page -> home page -> signup page; the latter would show the ‘home page’ as the referred page unless you implement a separate referrer tracking system using a session.)
