    When a new member signs up, I'd like to be able to save the name of the affiliate who signed them up. That way, if the member cancels, I'll know which affiliate's commission to adjust.

    So I created 2 new fields: referring_affiliate_first_name and referring_affiliate_last_name. Now I'm stuck as to where and how to populate this data. I'm assuming that I can use the fields $affiliate.name_f and $affiliate.name_l

    I've submitted this ticket to the helpdesk, and I'm waiting for a response. Thought I'd ask the forum to see if anyone has already solved this problem.

    Thanks,
    Taisha

    The aMember system should already be entering the affiliate ID in the new users info, and handle the adjustment automatically.
