Event Pages and Referrer URL Detection

[stevenmilstein]

I’d like to offer a promotion code to visitors coming from an affiliate’s site. Is there a way to detect the referrer URL, determine if it matches a particular domain and then display a div section?

It’s certainly possible – but can I ask, is this essentially the same question as you already posed here?

[stevenmilstein]

It’s to resolve the same challenge I have trying deal with a referrer site. I’d like to dynamically add a “Welcome .yada yada yada … here’s your promo code”.

[Barry]

OK, I mean in general it’s as simple as this:

if ( isset( $_GET['referral_code'] ) ) 
    echo '<div class="referral-stuff"> ... </div>';

This is very much custom development territory, though, and so I’m afraid we’d need to leave this one to you 🙂

Good luck!
