MailChimp Script Customization

Thank you Nikko!

Hello Nikko,

Well, it probably goes beyond a support question. I added an extra field with the referrer information. Using the php function $_SERVER[‘HTTP_REFERER’]. But it does not work – giving me my own domain name. Probably because of a page change.

Add this to the function.php file:

// Set Cookie for Referrer

function register_bar_ref_cookie() {
	if(!isset($_COOKIE['origin_ref'])) {
    	setcookie('origin_ref', $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
	}
}

add_action('init', 'register_bar_ref_cookie');

and then this code into mailchimp.php in the subfolder avia-shortcodes:

// Get Referrer
	
if (isset($_COOKIE['origin_ref'])) {
	$referer = $_COOKIE['origin_ref'];
} else {
	$referer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];				
}

$data_to_send = array(
	'email_address' => $mail,
	'status'		=> $status,
	'interests'     => array('xxx-your-code' => true),

‘merge_fields’ => array(‘REFER’ => $referer),
);

This will give you the original referrer in your MailChimp list (add field REFER in MailChimp).
