Thanks Ronnie.

I have it pointing to the ‘Welcome To The Members Area’ page from the drop down list, as it has been for months, but when someone logs in now, it goes to the profile page.

Any other thoughts?

Brian

Dear Cristián

Thanks for the pointer. However, as I’m not a programmer, I have no clue whether to use the code referred to in the post (or whether I need to modify it in some way for my site), or where to put it.

When you have a moment, perhaps you’d be kind enough to help me with this.

Thanks.

Brian

Dear Jason

Thanks for the revised code and the privacy point. The username came through perfectly. So we’re done. Brilliant once again.

Regarding the affiliate commission on my purchase, I’ve been having a running debate with iDevAffiliate. It appears they’ve paid the commission to an affiliate I know nothing about. I’ve been asking the support team about redirecting the payment to you and the net result is that they’d like your personal contact details to discuss it with you. This is what they’ve said…

“Brian since we are the vendor for the affiliate program and S2 is our affiliate, we will contact them directly. Please provide your point of contact’s email address. We have a few contacts but when we’ve tried contacting them in the past we don’t get replies.”

I don’t think it’s appropriate to display my conversation with iDevAffiliate on this thread. If you’d like to email me your contact details, I will copy the email conversation I’ve had with the iDevAffiliate support team so you can hopefully be correctly paid for the referral.

In case you’re reading this after the Christmas break, I wish you and your fab team a jolly time off.

I’ve done as you’ve suggested, as you can see below, removing the code on the ‘thank you’ page, and putting the URL in the Signup Notifications box. I’ve used a different email address to sign up, and I’ve used a completely separate browser, which is logged out as a customer. Once again, with the URL in Signup box, it does not register on iDevAffiliate and I get no email from S2Member. Only when the code is put on the ‘thank you’ page does it add to iDevAffiliate, but Order# is shown as %%payer_email%%.

It appears that none of the API pages in S2Member do anything. As long as the code is on the ‘thank you’ page, it gets recorded on iDevAffiliate, whether or not there’s anything or nothing in the boxes on the API pages.

Sorry.

Dear Cristián

Thanks. I’ve just completed the form.

Hi Bruce

I’ve been following advice from iDevAffiliate provided in this document http://www.idevlibrary.com/docs/Optional_Variables.pdf but everything I’ve tried doesn’t work. I’ve followed the advice in Jason’s video and in the notes S2Member has put on the page in API/Tracking. I’ve tried putting every option for idev_ordernum into the code (eg subscr_id, payer_email, customer_email, customer_name, email, and a few others), and put it on the page, and in the S2Member box in API/Tracking and both, but nothing works (ie no data comes through to iDeveAffiliate, just the code I input above).

It’s all very frustrating as I feel caught between your company and iDevAffiliate. Any further help would be great. Thanks.

Brian

Hi Bruce

Thanks. I’ll give that a go and I’ll let you know if it works.

Dear Cristián

It’s probably easiest if I start with a new summary.

I’m using iDevAffiliate to record FREE member signups from http://www.sippclub.com/sipp/join/ At a later date, offline, once I’ve sold an investment, I need to go back to iDevAffiliate and manually add commission to pay the affiliate. This is what iDevAffilate has advised…

LEAD STYLE COMMISSIONING…
Trigger a commission on a lead form or other confirmation form that the customer will fillout (that’s the form on the above link). Once the deal closes, login to your admin center and approve that commission. Use the pay-per-lead tracking pixel and set the commission amount to 1.00 (as a placeholder). Then at the time of approval manually change the commission amount from 1.00 to whatever it really should be then hit the approve button.

Here’s the pixel, which needs placed into the confirmation page.

<img border="0" src="http://www.sippclub.com/idevaffiliate/sale.php?profile=44&idev_leadamt=1.00&idev_ordernum=XXX" width="1" height="1">

When a client does business, it’s easy to find them in WordPress. But the only way I can identify them in iDevAffiliate is to have that system record the email address of the person when they first become a member. The XXX in the code can apparently do that, but XXX needs to be replaced with the email address that’s found on the form signup page – http://www.sippclub.com/sipp/join/

Please can you check out the join page I’ve created with extra fields in S2Member and let me know what I need to put in the above code in place of XXX which relates to the email address.

Thanks.

Brian

OK, thanks for letting me know.

Brian

Hi Eduan

Thanks for the success code for the shortcode. That works perfectly.

I’ve followed Jason’s iDevAffiliate video for free membership (using 10.00 rather than %%initial%%) and put the Generic Tracking Pixel into the box in API Tracking > Signup Tracking Codes as follows:

<img border="0" src="http://www.sippclub.com/idevaffiliate/sale.php?profile=72198&idev_saleamt=10.00&idev_ordernum=%%subscr_id%%" width="1" height="1">

I tried it with salemt=0 as well.

But it hasn’t worked. Any ideas?

Brian

Dear Cristián

Thanks for that. Actually, without programming knowledge, I wasn’t able to edit the link with the widget being displayed on the page. So I reformatted the page, allowing me to use it as a sidebar widget, and the editing worked perfectly.

So once again, thanks for all your help. Brilliant service, as always.

Brian

Dear Raam

Thanks for your reply. I have been in touch with the theme owner and they’re still considering a way to achieve it.

If I can’t find a way to make this work, could there be another way to achieve this? Perhaps when a person logs in, they go to a completely different site – say members.sippclub.com (the main site is http://www.sippclub.com/). The disadvantage here is that there will be quite a lot of duplicate pages, which is not a great idea.

Is this something that you’ve seen done, or that works?

Brian

Dear Raam

Thanks for the PayPal clues. I’ve now sorted that out. Fab.

The contact form in the footer is a widget with the theme. How do I get into the tabindex to alter the fields to something much higher?
