When you create a form in aweber and look at the html you will see all the variable you have asked about all you need to do is take the values and put them in optin revolution.
The naming is the same.
listname: The name of the list the form will add subscribers to
redirect: The valid URL of the page you’d like subscribers to be sent to once their information is successfully submitted to our servers.
meta_adtracking: The ad tracking value you’d like assigned to subscribers who use this form (Optional)
meta_message: The Follow Up message subscribers will first receive when signing up to the list. In almost all cases, this is set to “1”.
Meta Redirect Onlist: This can go any where you want, if the user is already on your list go to this url.
The variables are explained here:

Below is an example of an aweber form:
<form method="post" action="http://www.aweber.com/scripts/addlead.pl ">
<input type="hidden" name="listname" value="[your listname here]" />
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://www.example.com/thankyou.htm" />
<input type="hidden" name="meta_adtracking" value="custom form" />
<input type="hidden" name="meta_message" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="meta_required" value="name,email" />
<input type="hidden" name="meta_forward_vars" value="1" />
<input type="text" name="name" value="" /> Name
<input type="text" name="email" value="" /> Email
<input type="text" name="custom Color" value="" /> Custom Field
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Subscribe" />
</form>
Replace the populated field and save.
You will see the below when you generate a form in aweber if you want form stats in aweber then you need to add the value where you see Pixel Tracking ID Here.
<div style="display: none;"><img src="http://forms.aweber.com/form/displays.htm?id=Pixel Tracking ID Here" alt="" /></div>

When you create a form in aweber and look at the html…
I am having trouble figuring out how to view my form in html. Can you help me out?
When your in aweber on the final step of creating a form you have 2 choices:
1. Javascript
2. Raw HTML Version
Click the Raw HTML Version copy the code and paste it in a text editor like notepad then copy the values that you need into Optin Revolution.
Hope that helps.

OK I’m getting it, the only thing I am hung up on and don’t understand is…
Meta Redirect Onlist: This can go any where you want, if the user is already on your list go to this url.
Anywhere I want? What is it for? Do I need it? Don’t know what to do with this???
Thanks
Already mentioned this.
Meta Redirect Onlist: This can go any where you want, if the user is already on your list go to this url.
You don’t need to use it, if a person enters an email address and that email address is already on your email list you can redirect them. henve the name Redirect Onlist, usually this is your thankyou page.

Hi
Just a quick question on Aweber
Aweber has two licenses
The old one… Unlimited lists and subscribers but NO API and Analytics
The new one… Limited lists and sub… But API and Analytics!
I have the “OLD” one at a flat rate π
But does this plugin need the API? Or can it work without? and still have Opt-In’s? (Confirmed)
It will work without the API. You enter your details.
been reading this thread and tried but cant configure awebber with the plugin, think i got all the boxes sorted ok except Meta Web Form ID please help, what goes in here cant believe the ammount of time wasted trying to set this up
If you go to Aweber get the RAW HTML web form everything you need is in there. Just copy the values. Not that hard.
Here’s an example of the RAW HTML.
<form method="post" class="af-form-wrapper" action="http://www.aweber.com/scripts/addlead.pl" >
<div style="display: none;">
<input type="hidden" name="meta_web_form_id" value="171672097400" />
<input type="hidden" name="meta_split_id" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="listname" value="listname" />
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://domian.com/thankyou.html" id="redirect_5b75273b400be57e0fga9d10d2bdsssd10e9d8" />
<input type="hidden" name="meta_adtracking" value="My_Web_Form" />
<input type="hidden" name="meta_message" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="meta_required" value="email" />
<input type="hidden" name="meta_tooltip" value="" />
</div>
<div id="af-form-1716720974" class="af-form"><div id="af-header-1716720974" class="af-header"><div class="bodyText"><p>Β </p></div></div>
<div id="af-body-1716720974" class="af-body af-standards">
<div class="af-element">
<label class="previewLabel" for="awf_field-42559691">Email: </label>
<div class="af-textWrap"><input class="text" id="awf_field-42559691" type="text" name="email" value="" tabindex="500" />
</div><div class="af-clear"></div>
</div>
<div class="af-element buttonContainer">
<input name="submit" class="submit" type="submit" value="Submit" tabindex="501" />
<div class="af-clear"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="display: none;"><img src="http://forms.aweber.com/form/displays.htm?id=jOyMbOxMDJzsLA==" alt="" /></div>
</form>
Here is the meta_web_form_id you need to get your own value this is an example don’t copy this value!
<input type="hidden" name="meta_web_form_id" value="171672097400" />
See easy π
That exactly what i done before, and your right its not that hard
but thanks for that snippet of code that confirmed i put the correct code in all along.
another half an hour later and it still wont work
So not that bloody easy π
I’d be happy to have a look at this for you. Please send an email to support [at] optinrevolution.com with your wordpress admin and you aweber code.
