Custom registration complete url/page for google analytics tracking

[StarBuG]

Hi

I realy would like to see that after completing registration (with or without activation) the user comes to a separat landing page with a unique url so that I can track conversions with google analytics.

The unique url is the important part in this!

Currently users are directed to the index after completion of the registration which does not work for conversion tracking.

The custom page could also be used to give some directions like:

Something like that.

But the unique url is the important part so that a conversion of new members can be tracked!

I realy would like to have this.

Is this possible with rc2?

Thank you in advance

Really all you have to do is make a custom page, and then redirect to it. To make the custom page, you could try my Custom Action Mod. The redirect is a little harder, since it goes through the login file after registration. But we can use $_SESSION['login_url']. Try this:

In Register.php find:

Code Select Expand


redirectexit('action=login2;sa=check;member=' . $memberID, $context['server']['needs_login_fix']);

And Replace with:

Code Select Expand


$_SESSION['login_url'] = $script_url . '?action=whatever_custom_action_name_you_used';
redirectexit('action=login2;sa=check;member=' . $memberID, $context['server']['needs_login_fix']);

This will only work if you have immediate registration enabled. Also it isn't tested but whould work.

Hi

I am no php programer, I can read and understand code and modify it when neccessary but creating custom actions hmmmm I currently have no clue how I would go for that !?

I have no email activation so it should work.

Could you give me more details?
I just need a basic text info page with some blabla and a unique url.

1. Install this mod.
2. Create a BBC custom action with the name "welcome" and a page title of "Thank you for registering" (or whatever you want).
3. Put

or whatever you want in the body for the custom action.
4. In Register.php find:

Code Select Expand


redirectexit('action=login2;sa=check;member=' . $memberID, $context['server']['needs_login_fix']);

And Replace with:

Code Select Expand


$_SESSION['login_url'] = $script_url . '?action=welcome';
redirectexit('action=login2;sa=check;member=' . $memberID, $context['server']['needs_login_fix']);
