So, I need to know a) how to access the error files logs, b) can I add code for S2Member to my AWeber HTML code for my optin box or c) how do I get AWeber & S2Member to play nicely together?

Hi Sarah.

Did you integrate AWeber with s2Member? http://www.s2member.com/api-list-servers-video/

Do you mean letting the person register free and add them to AWeber in the process? Then, instead of using the AWeber opt-in form, you can simply have the person register and the s2Member List Server API will add them to AWeber. WP Admin -> s2Member -> API / List Servers -> AWeber

The registration form would be the standard WordPress one at /wp-login.php?action=register or, with s2Member Pro you have the free registration pro-form which you can add to any page/post in WordPress. WP Admin -> s2Member -> PayPal Pro-Forms -> Free Registration

You can customize the registration form fields too, to make them less or more. WP Admin -> s2Member -> General Options -> Registration/Profile

I hope that helps! Sorry I missed your posts these days, I had not noticed it here in the sub-form.

Bonnie, glad you sorted it out!

Brandon, does ClickBank add the person to your AWeber list? The way it'd work with s2Member is that when the user gets a certain s2Member role as configured in the List Server API, he'd be added by s2Member to the AWeber list you specified. WP Admin -> s2Member -> API / List Servers -> AWeber

I hope that helps!

Hi Everyone,

I saw this conversation going on and wanted to see how Aweber was integrated with S2 membership pro.

now this is just a question I am using clickbank and it's parsing why couldn't I just use that instead of the S2 Membership pro parsing

Because My sales process/membership login would be

1- they go to the sales page
2 - purchase membership through Clickbank ( Are added to Aweber)
3- be directed to account page for S2membership pro and create an account ( I am new and haven't set this system up yet so I think that is how it works.
4- they login to members area and start learning.

Does that work or am I missing something.

I am new to membership sites and just trying to learn how all of it works.

Thank you

Hi,

I am having the same problem with the AWeber integration. I have used AWeber for a few years, do don't really want to change to MailChimp. I have watched all the videos, I think. I have the list ID set up in s2member and use Authorize.net, so I have the sett as the parser in AWeber. My husband did a test, so I could see his screen as well and he did not receive an opt in message from AWeber and is not on my list. I can't figure this out
I tested my authorize.net payment and that works, I just can get it configured with AWeber. I am doing a Fixed Term membership program and will be sending weekly lessons via email through my AWeber, so It's really important I make this connection and get the configuration right. I also have Optimize Press installed. It should be compatible with s2member, so I don't think that's a problem. Any help you can offer is appreciated. I plan to launch my membership program on Monday, 11/28.
thanks so much!!
bonnie

Thanks Eduan,
I integrated it only some month ago, there was a tutorial linked from the S2Member Admin Panel.
Now the link comes here. I don' t remember what I did last time. Is this available that tutorial, is it still working that solution?
Thanks

Thanks for the follow-up Chad. We appreciate that.

Yes, while s2Member is integrated with the MailChimp API, it still uses the Custom Parser for it's AWeber integration. We became aware of AWeber's new API awhile back, but s2Member has not been integrated with it. We will certainly work toward this in a future release, but for now you'll need a Custom Email Parser, as seen above. I'll notate this comment from AWeber in the post above. Thank you!

Hi Guys,

I emailed Aweber for you... Here is the response I got:

AWeber - Jordan Premick, Nov-18 01:02 pm (EST):

Hello Chad,

Great to hear from you, but we actually do not support
custom parsers anymore. The reason being is that we
have just released a new addition to our API which allows
customers to add subscribers through 3rd party services like
PayPal and S2Member.

http://www.aweber.com/blog/new-features ... ribers.htm

*This allows for a much more seamless and stable integration with
those services.

If this is an integration you would want to work with, you can contract
a developer to create that for you. We do partner with a service called
oDesk which outsources their work for integrations like this:

https://www.odesk.com/groups/aweber

*You can always create the custom parser if you want to, however we no
longer provide any support on how to set that up.

If you have any other questions, please let me know!

Regards,
Jordan Premick

Re: AWeber Email Parser for s2Member.

2011-11-03T15:05:09-05:00

Thank you. So wp_mail() is succeeding in your tests. Interesting. For some reason it's failing on s2Member's call to the wp_mail() function to AWeber. Perhaps it has something to do with the email recipient ( i.e. your server is unable to connect to afterbreakingup@aweber.com )?

I will contact my hosting company now. What is puzzling is that it was working with mailchimp so it doesn't make any sense that the hosting company could be at fault here. I'll also disable all my plugins and see...

FYI: s2Member's MailChimp integration operates through a secure API call ( i.e. a web service connection ). Whereas s2Member's AWeber integration is handled via email commands. So these are difficult to compare. The communication methods are completely different.

Thank you for the follow-up.

Your log file indicates there was a server error that caused the wp_mail() function to fail.
'wp_mail_response' => false

I would run a quick test on your installation to be sure the wp_mail() function is operable.
If it's not, I'd start disabling other plugins to see if there is something causing a conflict on your installation of WordPress. If nothing gives, and the wp_mail() function is not working properly at all, you might try contacting your hosting provider.

To test the wp_mail() function, please create this directory and file:
/wp-content/mu-plugins/wp-mail-debug.php
( these are MUST USE plugins, see: http://codex.wordpress.org/Must_Use_Plugins )

Code:: /* Step #1. Upload this PHP file to: `/wp-content/mu-plugins/wp-mail-debug.php`. ( make sure there are no extra spaces/tabs/line breaks before or after `` ) Step #2. Load this page on your site: `http://yoursite.com/?wp_mail_debug=yes`. ( loading this page will run the test below and provide you with details ) */ add_action ("init", "wp_mail_debug", 1000); function wp_mail_debug () { if (!empty ($_GET[__FUNCTION__])) /* Load this page on your site: . */ { $wp_mail_response = wp_mail (get_bloginfo ("admin_email"), "WP Mail Test", "WP Mail Test", "From: \"WP Mail Test\" <" . get_bloginfo ("admin_email") . ">\r\nContent-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8"); exit((($wp_mail_response) ? "Mail sent successfully to: " . get_bloginfo ("admin_email") : "The `wp_mail()` function failed to: " . get_bloginfo ("admin_email"))); } } ?>

Then load this page on your site:

Code:: http://yoursite.com/?wp_mail_debug=yes

If you get PHP header errors, you have extra spaces/tabs/line breaks in your PHP file.
Unzip the follwing attachment to get the original version and upload to:
/wp-content/mu-plugins/wp-mail-debug.php
wp-mail-debug.zip

Re: AWeber Email Parser for s2Member.

2011-11-03T12:56:00-05:00

Thanks for your inquiry.

I would start by enabling s2Member's logging/debugging routines.
The s2Member/AWeber logging routines are currently enabled together with s2Member's PayPal debugging routines, so just turn on your PayPal Logging/Debugging routines from your Dashboard, under: s2Member -> PayPal Options -> Account Details -> Logging/Debugging.

You should end up with this file after a few tests:
/wp-content/plugins/s2member-logs/aweber.log

Please post a copy of that for us to review for you. It may shed some light on the issue. Also, be sure that you've disabled the PayPal Email Parser in your AWeber account, and that you've enabled the s2Member Parser that you created with our instructions. If nothing gives, I'd run back over your s2Member Custom Parser to be sure you have everything exactly as shown in the screenshots above.

Also, please note that AWeber will NOT send multiple confirmation emails to the same email address within a 12 hour period. During testing, you may need to use several different emails to get the results you're looking for. See: http://www.aweber.com/faq/questions/184 ... Message%3F

Re: AWeber Email Parser for s2Member.

2011-11-03T08:59:26-05:00

Good morning from Florida,

First, thank you so much for your plugin. I am experimenting with the free version which is incredible from what I see.

I originally set up the api server for mailchimp and everything was working well. Then I discovered that mailchimp doesn't allow affiliate marketing so I have switched to aweber.

And this is where troubles began! Nothing reaches aweber. I have setup the email parser as paypal according to the tutorial, have uploaded the s2-aweber-debug.php file into a newly created /wp-content/mu-plugins/ directory. When I register as new member, semember sends me the appropriate welcome emails:

Your username/Password for...
followed up by another: New User Registration on your site:...

and then nothing. I can see the new user in wordpress, but nothing in aweber.

I have created custome email paser as per download/file.php?id=567&mode=view

But I still cannot see any new member in aweber. Right now, I don't really know what to do!

Any help?

Thank you
