Hi Jason

I tried for few hours last night to get the registration info to pass to the credit card form but I kept getting error on the registration page where it kept asking me for the first name....I will try your suggestion later on tonight..thank you

I'm attempting to use the Free Registration Forms $POST lines mentioned earlier as a means of prefilling the form from an email that supplies the user with a unique 10digit code and link to the form.

Ultimately i wanted to validate that code against a list on the server- but have not found a way to do that.
So - i could use a lil help figuring out how to prefill the reg form with the code from the user's linked email.

i may have added the the chunk to the reg form php improperly - because it rendered no change when clicked to that page from email. The email does have matching field names (fname, lname, email, reg_code on s2 is regcode in the email)

Am i missing something to call at the top?:

Code: Select all

<?php
if (realpath (__FILE__) === realpath ($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]))
   exit("Do not access this file directly.");


  $_POST['s2member_pro_paypal_registration']['first_name'] = $_GET['fname'];
  $_POST['s2member_pro_paypal_registration']['last_name'] = $_GET['lname'];
  $_POST['s2member_pro_paypal_registration']['email'] = $_GET['email'];
  $_POST['s2member_pro_paypal_registration']['custom_fields']['reg_code'] = $_GET['regcode1'];
?>

Thanks for your inquiry.
You might try something like this with your code.

Create this directory and file:
/wp-content/mu-plugins/s2-hacks.php
( these are MUST USE plugins, see: http://codex.wordpress.org/Must_Use_Plugins )

Code: Select all

<?php
if(realpath(__FILE__) === realpath($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]))
    exit("Do not access this file directly.");
/**/
add_action("init", "my_s2_prefills", 1);
function my_s2_prefills()
    {
        if(!isset($_POST["s2member_pro_paypal_registration"]))
            {
                $_POST["s2member_pro_paypal_registration"]["first_name"] = @$_GET["fname"];
                $_POST["s2member_pro_paypal_registration"]["last_name"] = @$_GET["lname"];
                $_POST["s2member_pro_paypal_registration"]["email"] = @$_GET["email"];
                $_POST["s2member_pro_paypal_registration"]["custom_fields"]["reg_code"] = @$_GET["regcode1"];
            }
    }
?>

It would also be a good idea to add a conditional page check, so this code only runs on the page where your s2Member Pro Form is at. So for instance, you might do something like this.

Code: Select all

<?php
if(realpath(__FILE__) === realpath($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]))
    exit("Do not access this file directly.");
/**/
add_action("init", "my_s2_prefills", 1);
function my_s2_prefills()
    {
        if(strpos($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"], "/my-free-registration-form-slug") !== false)
                if(!isset($_POST["s2member_pro_paypal_registration"]))
                    {
                        $_POST["s2member_pro_paypal_registration"]["first_name"] = @$_GET["fname"];
                        $_POST["s2member_pro_paypal_registration"]["last_name"] = @$_GET["lname"];
                        $_POST["s2member_pro_paypal_registration"]["email"] = @$_GET["email"];
                        $_POST["s2member_pro_paypal_registration"]["custom_fields"]["reg_code"] = @$_GET["regcode1"];
                    }
    }
?>

ok - s2-hacks.php is in place - with the appropriate slug,
the email link gets through to the correct page.. but nothing pre-filled.

i'm missing something but have no idea what. : /

Could you post the URL with all the query variables for us to check? (You can remove the domain if you don't want to share that part.)

[bitofgrace]

Not sure what url to give you.. or how without the domain? (domain doesnt publicly launch til the 20th so i cant share in forum)

[Raam Dev]

You said earlier you were trying to prefill the pro-form from an email. Is your customer clicking on a link in an email and arriving at the pro-form?

The code Jason supplied uses query variables (e.g., &fname=Raam) from the URL and assigns them to the Pro Form field (@$_GET["fname"]).

So, you'll need to be calling the Pro Form URL with something like http://example.com/pro-form-order-page/?fname=Raam&lname=Dev&email=raam@example.com&reg_code=ABC123.

I was asking for the URL you're using so that I can check to make sure the query variables are properly configured in the URL. If they're not properly configured, the Pro Form fields won't be filled in.

Ohhh I getcha now.

The emailer is merged with the fields:
lname
fname
regcode
regcode2
eot
email

the link is to the page where the form is embedded: domain.com/stringcharachtersasaname/

so, would i make the link something like this instead:
domain.com/stringcharachtersasaname/?fname=[fname]&lname=[lname]&email=[email]&reg_code=[regcode]

??
i have no idea how to call the =[] properly
i'm working from Mailchimp list.

[Raam Dev]

Are you sending that email from MailChimp and trying to use MailChimp's MERGE tags in the email to create the correct URL? If yes, then I suggest that you read MailChimp's How to Use Merge Tags.

Your example above looks correct if MailChimp's merge tags would replace [fname] with the First Name of the person (I think you have that part wrong... if I remember correctly, MailChimp uses the format of *|FNAME|*).

[bitofgrace]

ohhh i see what you mean rather than brackets - match it to Mailchimp *|

have already sent out the 10,000 invites unfortunately, but that wont likely be the last time i need to do it.

Thank you.
