Topic: Help - Checking nickname of new user to track a pay per lead campaign

Hello.
In October I will start a pay per lead campaign for my site on a network and I have to put a code that will track and count new registrations coming from clicks on the banners shown by that network.
The code has to be called only when a new registration is confirmed by user (I am using account auto activation by email).

So I thought to include the code into the account creation confirmation message (someone suggested this way to include adwords tracking code and it is working fine, because when the confirmation message is shown it means the registration has been confirmed and the tracking code is called). This is for adwords tracking code.

About the code of the new network I am going to use in October, it is needed that the code checks and sends to a script the user nickname. The code is this (it seems it calls an image to show, but it's just a trick):
<img src="http://WWW.EXAMPLE.COM/tracking_leads/XXX/{$nickname}" alt="Leads Monitoring" />
Well, the variable $nickname has to be the new user nickname, so the tracking code can register which new accounts is a lead (by the network) and not another kind of subscription (a user that is coming by search engines).

I hope I explained clearly even if my English is bad.

The question is:
How can I check the new user nickname? During registration confirmation does it exist a nickname session variable to put into the code I mentioned (instead of $nickname)?

Re: Help - Checking nickname of new user to track a pay per lead campaign

not really sure i understood how you want it to work.
Lets assume this:
1.User: testuser signs up at the website,
2.he gets the confirm account email
3.he clicks it then his  account gets activated.

Where in these steps do you need that img src code to run and what exactly it needs to check ?

First of all, the answer to your question:
At the third step, after the user clicks to activate his account and in the same moment that the system shows the sucessful message.

Second, let's simplify:
I need the user nickname is shown with the activation successful message.
E.g. "NICKNAME, your account has been activated."

Did you try {session.username}?

It shows {session.username}

I think it's better I open a ticket for this.
Thank you anyway.
