UPDATE on 02/14

DAP v4.0 is now out of beta.

UPDATE on 01/10

UPDATE 1: Spanking New Feature: "Dime Sales"

This is a rocking new feature that will allow you to have "Dime Sales". Basically, a "Dime Sale" is where you configure the price to go up every "X" sales. We've taken this one step further, and allowed you to hike up the price every "Y" days too! And of course, the price hike is not restricted to just "dimes" (10 cents).

UPDATE 2: Custom "Thank-you Redirect URL" for Paypal Button

When you use the new built-in Paypal buy-button generator, you now have the ability to redirect the buyer to any thank-you page URL after successful purchase. In the first update, this was hard-coded into the button and you had no control over it. Now, thanks to a new Config item, you can set the URL to which user is redirected AFTER Login-Xpress happens. So "Login Xpress" will still happen, and user is automatically "logged in" to their members area right after purchase. But now, you just have the added ability to redirect them to a custom URL, after they've been logged in. This new config setting will over-ride both the Product-level and the Global Config-level "Logged-In URL" fields.

UPDATE 3: Multi-site Auth.net Support

Authorize.net has only one account-level "IPN" url. It's called the "Silent POST URL". Unfortunately, they have provided a way to specify only one such URL within your Authorize.net account. So we have included a very cool work-around for this. This new custom url will allow you to specify which Silent Post URL to redirect the Auth.net silent post to. Which means, one Authorize.net account can now be used by multiple DAP-powered and even non-DAP web sites, thanks to our awesome "hack"
 

UPDATE 4: In-Page Dripping

We've updated the new DAP Shortcode framework to include the ability to specify a "Day" right within the shortcode itself. So you don't have to use the DAP Products page just for specifying the dripping. You can now simply specify the dripping "Day" as a parameter in the DAP shortcode itself.

Which leads us to an extremely powerful new benefit: "In-Page Dripping".

So you can now publish, say, 10 videos on one page, and you can enclose each video's embed code with a separate DAP Shortcode that has a different "Day" setting, so the very same page will show 1 video on Day 1, 2 videos on Day 2, 3 videos on Day 3, and so on.

You don't have to create multiple pages/posts just to drip multiple pieces of content. All of the content can now be dripped within just one "download" page, like this:

[DAP day="1" hasAccessTo="1" isPaidUser="Y" ] VIDEO 1 CODE [/DAP]

[DAP day="2" hasAccessTo="1" isPaidUser="Y" ] VIDEO 2 CODE [/DAP]

[DAP day="3" hasAccessTo="1" isPaidUser="Y" ] VIDEO 3 CODE [/DAP]
 

UPDATE 5: "For Your Eyes Only": User-specific Custom Content Dripping

Let's say you run a coaching program. You have 10 clients. You want to provide custom reports to your clients, and you want to publish those client-specific videos or PDF reports on your blog, and you want only those specific clients to see content that is meant for them. And you want to drip the content.

So you want Joe Customer to see a tailor-made custom video meant only for Joe, and Jill Member to see a specific PDF report written specifically for Jill's business.

Now using the new "userId" parameter in the DAP shortcode, you can now protect a piece of content so that only a specific DAP user can see it.

Previously, if you wanted to do this, you had to create a separate product for each client, and add the content meant for them, to the Product meant for them. Not so any more. If you want to create a video specifically for Jill Member (whose DAP Userid is, say, 35), then simply create a page called "JillMember" and then put the video embed code for Jill's video into that page, and then wrap it with the DAP shortcode, like this:

[DAP day="1" hasAccessTo="1" isPaidUser="Y" userId="35"] JILL VIDEO EMBED CODE [/DAP]

You can still specify all of the other parameters – like Jill has to be a paid user, must have access to Product 1, and drip on Day 1. Very cool, even if we say so ourselves

UPDATE on 01/03

UPDATE 1: Coupon Support For Recurring Products

We have now added coupon support for recurring products too. So now you can set a separate discount amount for 1st /Trial payment, and a separate discount amount for Recurring Payments.

UPDATE 2: Post-Dated Product Chaining

This basically extends the existing Product Chaining feature such that you can now set up a product chaining to occur in the "future" (rather than always happen "now", like it was earlier). This gives you the ability to, say, give a member access to a bonus product "X" days after the purchase. You can even use this feature to trigger an automatic move from one product to another after "X" days.

UPDATE 3: Button-level "Return URL"

The "return_url" is now set within the DAP-generated Paypal button. So as long as "Auto Return" is turned "ON" in your Paypal account, it doesn't matter what "Return URL" you enter in that field within your Paypal account. You can enter any generic URL there, in case you are using your Paypal account for multiple web sites.

All of this is part of DAP v4.0 (beta) and LiveLinks v1.5 (beta). Both are available for download now.

If you have already downloaded and installed DAP 4.0, then see this blog post on what you need to do to get these updates.

If you haven't yet downloaded DAP 4.0 beta, then keep reading…

We're really excited to announce that DAP v4.0 (beta) is here! It's packed with some very cool new features that will help take DAP to the next level. Here's what is part of DAP v4.0…

• Coupon Codes for Paypal
  
• Paypal Buy-Button Generator (within DAP admin panel – no more having to log in to Paypal just to create a buy-button)
• Paypal Login Xpress: Buyers will be automatically logged into their membership area upon successful purchase. No more having to wait for email containing their password
• Paypal Sandbox Support
• Config option to switch from FOPEN to CURL OR CURL to FOPEN if there are host issues with CURL or FOPEN
• Support for member's Primary Email being different from their Paypal Email.
  
• Multi-Tier Affiliate: Create unlimited affiliate tiers. Extremely simple to set up.
• DAP ShortCodes:  Partial content protection. Ability to hide different parts of the same post or page, using custom DAP shortcodes
  •  Example 1: Shows content to ONLY logged-in user [DAP]protected content here[/DAP]. 
  •  Example 2: Shows content between the shortcodes to only a PAID user who has access to Product Id 1. [DAP isPaidUser="Y" hasAccessTo="1" errMsgTemplate="SHORT"]protected content here[/DAP]. 
  •  Example 3: Shows content between the shortcodes to all members who have access to Product Id 1 or 2.  [DAP hasAccessTo="1,2" errMsgTemplate="SHORT"]protected content here[/DAP]
• Support for WordPress Custom Menus: Now if you have posts or pages in your custom menu's, DAP will "hide" them completely from users who don't have access to those pages/posts
• Ability to delete individual items from job queue
• Automatically Redirect to protected URL after logging in. So you can directly send protected links in emails, and when they click on it and log in, they will directly be redirected to the page/post they were trying to visit
• Javascript fixes specifically to accommodate some new & custom themes which were breaking the JS used by the login form and user profile.
• Capture & Display of "Destination URL" for affiliate links, to answer the question: "To which page on my site are my affiliates sending traffic to?"

DAP v4.0 and LiveLinks v1.5 are both available for download from the member's area.

And don't forget to comment below. Cheers!

We have just added coupon support for recurring products too (Paypal only at this time).

All changes have been added to the current DAP v4.0 beta version.

A) If you have NOT YET installed 4.0 beta, then the changes are included already into the updated version currently available for download. Nothing special to do. Simply download DAP from the member's area.

And you may ignore everything below.

B) If you HAVE already installed 4.0 beta, then here's what you need to do:

1) Once again re-download and re-upload DAP (just the core "dap" folder – you can skip the LiveLinks plugin files as there are no changes to that.)

2) Once you have uploaded the new "dap" folder, log in to your DAP Admin Dashboard as usual first.

Then visit the following link in a new browser window;

http://YourSite.com/dap/update.php

Be sure to replace "YourSite.com" with your actual domain name. And that's it.

That will trigger the one little database change that we've added as part of the new coupon support for recurring products.

Here's the link to the previous blog post about DAP v4.0 beta.

You can get DAP as a free bonus with the purchase of either product below.

1) Evergreen Business System (EBS) Bonus

You can DAP as a free bonus when you purchase Mike Filsaime's Evergreen Business System. Just complete your purchase and forward us the receipt from your purchase, that's all. We'll then hook you up with either a free copy of DAP, or a 1 year extension of support if you're already a DAP user.

Terms of Use

If you cancel your purchase of EBS, or get a refund, then your DAP bonus will be cancelled as well.

2) 1ShoppingCart Bonus

You can also get DAP for free if you sign up for our private label of 1shoppingcart, 1SiteAutomation.com.

PRO Account: If you sign up for a "PRO" account at 1SiteAutomation.com (1SA), which is our private label of 1shoppingcart, you get a DAP "Unlimited-Site License" FREE for life – as long as you maintain your "PRO" account at 1SA, of course.

STARTER or BASIC Account: If you sign up for a "STARTER" or "BASIC" package, then you pay for DAP only the first time (1-site or Unlimited-site). And then you never have to pay for support or upgrades ever again – for life (of course, as long as you maintain your "Starter" account at 1SA).

So if you're thinking of signing up for a 1shoppingcart account, then better to do it via our private label 1SiteAutomation.com – everything's the same as 1shoppingcart. The back-end's all the same, and you'll in fact be logging into the exact same back-end, servers, look at the same screens, etc.

Everything's the exact same except the name and the sales page.

So head on over to 1SiteAutomation.com (1SA) and sign up for a "PRO" account, and open a ticket and let us know where to send you your free copy of DAP!

Terms of Use

Please note that you cannot get DAP while on the free trial at 1SiteAutomation.com. You must sign up for a paid account to be eligible for this offer.

If you cancel your 1SA account before 6 months, then you may simply purchase a paid license of DAP if you wish to keep using DAP on your site. And you must pay for support & upgrades at the end of 1 year, just like everyone else (only if you want support & upgrades, of course).

If you cancel your 1SA account any time after 6 months, then you get to keep your license of DAP for free for life. And you must pay for support & upgrades at the end of 1 year, just like everyone else (only if you want support & upgrades, of course).

We're finally launching our much awaited forum. And it is powered by vBulletin,  no less. The forum is currently open to only DAP users. The general public is not allowed to post in any of the forums, with the exception of the "Pre-Sales" forum.

1. Log in to in to the DigitalAccessPass.com member's area
2. Scroll down to the User Profile section towards the bottom of that page.
3. Check if you already have a Username pre-created for you. If it is, then make a note of that. You may now directly log into the forums. You can ignore the rest of the steps below.
4. But if the Username field is empty in your profile, then first choose a Username that you wish to use in the forum. We recommend "FirstnameLastname" , "Firstname_LastName", or some variation thereof.
5. WARNING: Choose carefully, as you won't be able to change it later.
6. Save the change. That will automatically create your forum account.
7. MOST IMPORTANT: Then you must log out of the member's area, and log back in either via the member's area, or directly into the forums, and this will log you in to both DigitalAccessPass.com as well as the forum at the same time ("Single Sign-On").

Hey,

It’s DAP’s 2nd anniversary (or is it a birthday?) today

And we wanted to take a moment to thank you, and tell you that we simply couldn’t have done it without you.

It always amazes us when we think about the kindness, generosity, patience and support you have shown us in these last two years.

Your kind words of praise, your incredible feedback, your willingness to patiently wait for features while we caught up, and your support in telling your friends about us – every single thing you have done for us, is what has brought us this far.

We wanted to pay tribute to you – for being a part of our DAP family.

So please watch this short video we made for you and hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it.

(and turn up your speakers – the audio track is awesome)

[Update - 10/03] New Bonus Just Added: SSS Plugin

Guess what’s coming up on October 11, 2010?

… DAP’s 2nd Birthday! YeeHaw!

Yup, we’re turning 2 in just a few days.

And as we look back and let our eyes well up, and let our chest fill up with pride about how far we have come in 2 years, we then look to the side to see our competition, and we realize that we still have miles to go before we are considered the undisputed, #1 Membership Plugin for WordPress. And anything other than 1st-place is worthless to us.

Do you know who was the 2nd person ever to run a sub-4-minute mile?

Do you know who was the 2nd person to set foot on the moon?

Yeah, we don’t either

“Winning isn’t everything… it’s the only thing.” -Vince Lombardi. (Former Football Coach)

It still hurts when someone says “Oh, plugin XYZ does feature ABC better than DAP”.

And in a way, we’re glad that it hurts, because that’s what keeps us wanting to do better!

And the good news is:

* We’re extremely passionate about what we do.

* And we’re extremely competitive.

* And we do this full-time, for a living!

That’s a pretty decent triple-threat advantage we have, don’t you think?

Anyway…. Coming back to our upcoming 2nd birthday on October 11th….

We want to share this joyful and proud moment with you. So here’s what we’re doing to celebrate…

1) If you are a DAP user, then you are already a DAP affiliate, and your commissions have just been bumped up for all of October, from 33% to a whopping 50% (for 1-site and Unlimited-site licenses)!

2) If you are one of our Super-Affiliates, then your commissions have been bumped up to 60% (for 1-site and Unlimited-site licenses). If you are not yet a DAP user, then you are automatically enrolled into our affiliate program when you purchase a copy of DAP.

3) We’re giving some really cool prizes for the top 3 affiliates (stay tuned for more details on that later). All we know at this point, is that the first prize is probably going go be….

A Super-Cool New iPad! So don’t go buying an iPad just yet

3) We’re going to be hosting a series of free webinars with some really incredible folks. These calls are going to really exciting. Will be announcing the line-up shortly.

4) We’ll just keep coming with new ways to celebrate our 2nd birthday over the next several days, so stay tuned for our emails

Cheers!
