mbr_autologin

Usage:

This module enables you to autologin your contacts into your membership site. It can be used as a link in an email, for example, or as a target page for a “Thank You” page.

This module will auto-generate a password for contacts who do not yet have one. A default, non-random password may also be defined. See the parameter list for more information.

Just as a user can share his/her password with others, an autologin link can also be shared. As such, it is neither safer nor less safe than a regular, manual login.

When used in conjunction with a ThriveCart‘s, JVZoo‘s, ClickBank‘s or Digistore24‘s “Thank You” page, the autologin will be validated using your secret key and the order data provided by these system, resulting in a secure login.

To enter your secret keys, please do so in “Plugin Options” -> “Security Options“, also ensuring that autologin is enabled:

When using the autologin feature with JVZoo, please ensure that you check the “Pass parameters to download page“, as depicted below:

When using the autologin feature with DigiStore24, please ensure that you set the “Append order data to thank you page URL?” setting to “yes“, as depicted below:

We encourage the use of tag ID’s over tag names. Unless a tag is deleted, its tag ID can be considered persistent. Tag names, on the other hand, can be changed any time. Using a tag name that has been changed can lead your shortcode, hook or module to no longer work as expected.

Parameters:

mbr_autologin=SECURITY_CODE This sets the action to be performed, mbr_autologin.
autocreate=yes This parameters instructs the autologin process to automatically create a new contact in your ActiveCampaign account once the Thank You page validation has taken place. This will only happen if a contact doesn’t already exist.

This option is only available for the external carts / payment platforms listed above for which a secure autologin is available.

By default, this option is set to “yes” and need not be specified. If you do not want this functionality to be used, specify “autocreate=no”.

When a contact record doesn’t yet exist, a “skeleton” contact record will be created consisting of only the email address.

redir=http://yousite.com/thankyou/ This specifies an alternate landing page upon login. Please note that most browsers will not correctly interpret the “redir” URL unless it is placed last in the URL.

Please ensure that this parameter is placed last in your link / URL to prevent some browser from interpreting the information incorrectly.

In some cases, the full “redir” URL may not be parsed correctly. In those cases, please use a relative URL, i.e. instead of “http://yousite.com/thankyou/“, use “/thankyou/“
