We’re thrilled to announce that DAP 4.3 is now out of beta, and we’ve just released DAP v4.3.1 and LiveLinks v1.8.1 – both of which are now available for download from the member’s area.

You can directly install DAP v4.3.1 afresh on a new site which never had DAP installed before… OR you can also upgrade to it from ANY previous version of DAP (including from v4.3 beta).

• If you had previously already upgraded to/installed 4.3 beta, then you must upgrade to DAP v4.3.1 and LiveLinks v1.8.1.
• If you’re going to freshly install DAP or upgrade to it from ANY previous version, then please be aware of these items below before you upgrade.

WARNING: READ THIS BEFORE YOU UPGRADE

There a few critical things you need to remember to do BEFORE and IMMEDIATELY AFTER you upgrade.

BEFORE UPGRADING

Make sure you are not combining FREE and PAID users in the same DAP Product.

Starting with DAP v4.3, if a user has access to a product, they will get access to content within the product (as per drip dates and access expiry, of course). The only thing that changes is…. you no longer have to make sure that content is marked as FREE in order for FREE users to be able to access it, or worry about mistakenly adding a user as FREE to a paid product, and forgetting to mark them as PAID, and then they have an issue accessing the content. This is the biggest issue for most people starting with DAP, so we’ve finally decided to fix it the right way.

So the thumb rule here is: If a User has access to Product, it doesn’t matter if they’re a free or paid user, and it doesn’t matter if your content is marked as free or paid; the user WILL get access to the content in the product (depending of course on their access start and end dates, drip days/dates, etc – no change to those things).

Restart Browser

Log out of DAP Admin and WP Admin panel, clear browser cache, restart browser, and then log back in first to WP admin (that will also log you in as DAP Admin – one of the new features in 4.3).

AFTER UPGRADING

Revisit ALL of your FREE products and set "Allow Free Signup? = Yes"

DAP 4.3 has a new field on the "General Settings" tab of the Products > Manage page, called "Allow Free Signup?". If you are using a free DAP signup form (also known as "Direct Signup Form" or "Free Signup Form" in DAP) to sign up people for free to a DAP Product, OR if you are doing Aweber-to-DAP integration (where you sign them up for free to Aweber first, and then have Aweber add them to DAP), then be sure to set this new field to "Yes" for all such FREE products.

You need to do this only for your free products. If you don’t do it, your free DAP signup forms will no longer work.

By default, after upgrading to v4.3, all of your DAP Products will be set to "Allow Free Signup? = No" – so there will be no impact to your existing paid products.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask via the comments below.

Cheers!

EXPIRED USERS:

If you don’t see the latest files in the member’s area, that’s probably because your 1 year of free access to DAP Support & Upgrades has expired, and you may renew here. If you think you should have access to DAP v4.3.1 and LiveLinks v1.8.1, then please open a ticket and we’ll take care of it. Thanks!

We’re absolutely ecstatic to announce the release of DAP v4.3 and LiveLinks v1.8!

This release is jam packed with oh-so-many goodies: Tons of new features, UI and Usability improvements, enhancements to many of the little nagging items, and of course, a few bug fixes too.

And with this new release, you can now also install and use DAPTicket, our support ticket plugin fully integrated with DAP (details further below).

New WordPress Integration Features

• NEW: When you log in as WP admin, or browse any part of WP admin, you’re automatically logged in as DAP admin (DAP admin user with the least user id, in case you have more than one DAP admin user). No more having to log in separately to DAP. This is also configurable (default is YES). In case you do not want WP admins to be auto-logged in as DAP admin, then you can set this to NO under Setup > Config.
• NEW: When you log out of DAP by going to http://YourSite.com/dap/logout.php, you will now also be logged out of WordPress, whether you are WP Admin or regular WP user
• NEW: When you log out of WordPress, regardless of whether you are WP Admin or regular WP user, you will now also be logged out of DAP.
• NEW: Reverse sync from WP to DAP now available. So, if a regular user goes to the standard WP profile page, and updates first name, last name or email id, their corresponding DAP record will also be updated. This also disables regular users from even updating their password in the WP profile page. So, the only place they can update password is via the DAP profile.
• NEW: Shortcode [DAPUserLinks]: Allows you to heavily customize how the links are displayed when you use the merge tag %%USERLINKS%%…
  [DAPUserLinks showProductName="N" showAccessStartDate="Y" showAccessEndDate="Y" showDescription="Y" showLinks="Y" orderOfLinks="NEWESTFIRST" howManyLinks="10000" errMsgTemplate="SHORT" productId="ALL" dateFormat="YYYY-MM-DD"]
• NEW: "Coming Soon" Shortcode [DAPComingSoon]: Allows you to display links that are coming soon.
  [DAPComingSoon showProductName="Y" showAccessStartDate="Y" showAccessEndDate="Y" showDescription="Y" showLinks="Y" orderOfLinks="NEWESTFIRST" howManyLinks="10000" errMsgTemplate="SHORT" productId="ALL" makelinksclickable="N" dateFormat="YYYY-MM-DD"]
• NEW: Merge tags for WordPress: %%USER_ID%%, %%PASSWORD%%, %%SITE_NAME%%
• NEW: Shortcode Features:
      – "publicUntil": You can set a date UNTIL which a blog post is public (no protection or rules will be applied from any other shortcode parameters.
      [DAP publicUntil="2012-12-31" hasAccessTo="1"]This message will be completely public UNTIL (and including) December 31st, 2012[/DAP]
     
      – "publicAfter": You can set a date AFTER which a blog post will become public (no protection or rules will be applied from any other shortcode parameters.
      [DAP publicAfter="2012-01-01" hasAccessTo="1"]This message will be completely public AFTER (and including) January 1st, 2012[/DAP]
     
      – "hasNoAccessTo": A much requested feature. You can now specify a list of products that a user does NOT have access to, like this:
      [DAP hasAccessTo="2" hasNoAccessTo="1,3" ]This message will appear only to active (current) users of product 2 but don’t have access to 1 or 3[/DAP]
     
      – "startday" and "endday": Now you can specify "startday" and "endday" in the shortcodes to make the contents stop being shown after a certain end "day". Previously available "day" variable has been deprecated and replaced by "startday" instead. However, if you already are using it somewhere, it will continue to work as is. However, if you wish to use the "endday" variable, you must now also use "startday" instead of "day". Very useful for, say, displaying a message on the Welcome page only on the first day.
      [DAP hasAccessTo="2" startday="1" endday="1"]This message will appear to you only to users of Product 2, on Day 1 and no further[/DAP]
     
      – Negative Days: "startday" and "endday" can also be a negative number.
      For eg., [DAP hasAccessTo="2" startDay="-6" endDay="-3"]Howdy[/DAP]
      This basically means, the message "Howdy" will be shown starting 6 days before the "Access End Date" of the user’s access to the product with Id "2" (specified in hasAccessTo). So you can use this to display a special message – or specially priced offer (buy button) – for those whose access has not yet expired. Last day (same day of access end date) is day 0. Day before that is -1.
     
      – Error Message From File: You can now specify a file name whose contents are to be used as error message. Use the existing errMsgTemplate field, but add a "file:…" to the beginning, and make sure the file name is a fully qualified URL starting with http:// and your domain name. So you can say…
      [DAP hasAccessTo="2" startday="1" endday="1" errMsgTemplate="file:http://YourSite.com/customMessage.html"]This message will appear to you only today[/DAP]

New Affilate Features

• You can now show your affiliates more information about their referrals in their affiliate report. In Setup > Config, you can now configure the following info to be shown to the affiliate (only for their own referrals, of course):
  First Name, Last Initial (Default) (or)
  First Name, Last Name (or)
  First Name, Last Name, Email (or)
  First Name, Last Name, Email, Phone
• Ability to remove associated affiliates (including making user "UN-Affiliated" – meaning, no affiliates attached to the user any more)
• Ability Re-assign a new affiliate to a user
• Instant Affiliate Credit enabled even for Free signups. So new free members no longer have to log in for affiliate to get credit – it happens instantly upon signup.
• Both you and your affiliates can now view referral data for free sign-ups too. Just add a commission row for each free product with 0.00 commissions (if you don’t wish to pay a PER LEAD commission, but still want your affiliates to see the details of the referral). And then, when an affiliate refers someone to your web site and the visitor signs up for a free product, your affiliate can see the new sign up as a "Lead" in their affiliate report.

New DAP Admin/Usability Features

• NEW: All real-time emails to be sent using SMTP (if configured)
• NEW: Drag & Drop rearranging and re-ordering of links within same drip day, is now possible (on "ContentResponder" tab)
• NEW: Newly signed up "Free Signup" subscribers will now be instantly logged into the member’s area. But NO auto-login for double-optin enabled products – they must confirm first. And NO auto-login for those who are already a member, and are only signing up for a new free product.
• NEW: You can now have a limited-duration one-time product. Previously, all one-time signups were assigned "9999-12-31" as access end date. No longer necessary. You can set a limited duration – like 30 days, or 90 or 365 days as the duration of your one-time product. And if you set the "Membership Duration" to 9999, then as before, it will set access end date for user to "9999-12-31".
• NEW: New Config item: To allow "display" of protected links in the menu even if the user does NOT have access to it (regardless of Sneak-Peek)
• NEW: New Config item: Is Free Product?
• NEW: New Config item: Allow Free Sign-up?
• NEW: New Config Item: Global Sales Page URL (for when a user has access to more than one Product)
• NEW: New Config Item: Global Error Page URL (for when a user has access to more than one Product)
• NEW: New Config item: Allow Auto-login of WP admin as DAP admin?
• NEW: LiveLinks to use new global sales page url and global error page url
• NEW: No more having to worry about free users not having access to paid content. It is all controlled by whether or not someone has access to a product. If they have access to a product, free or paid, as long as access dates are OK, they will get access to the content assigned to the product.
• NEW: Ability to sort Products ordered by Product Name or Product Id – ascending or descending
• NEW: Affiliate referer links shortened in referral report for both Admin home page as well as Affiliate report page
• NEW: To improve performance, number of rows in affiliate referral report now restricted to just 2000 on Admin home page
• NEW: Login count field is now updated for each successful login attempt by user. Not yet exposed in DAP Admin area. Will be available in the next release.
• NEW: Logs were showing last 1000 rows. Instead, will now show all logs for the day
• NEW: On the "Content responder" tab, next to the heading "Protected Content", it now shows how many links are protected as part of the product. Eg. (# of protected links:
• NEW: Product list now shows up as a drop-down at the top of the Product screen tabs, so that it’s always visible even when moving across tabs.
• NEW: On Products page, moving from one product to another will keep admin on same tab even across different products. So switching products (only when using drop-down) will NO LONGER make you jump back to the new product’s "General Settings" tab. You will remain on whatever tab you were on previously.
• NEW: ContentResponder tab’s contents can now be "popped out" and shown in large window, so you can even see long links without any part getting cut off from the display. And then you can pop the window back in once done.
• NEW: Now you can mass-delete all Autoresponder Emails from Product in one click
• NEW: New lines in /dap/inc/language/english.php
  //———- Added in v4.3 ———//
  define("USER_LINKS_COMINGSOON_TEXT","Coming Soon…");
  define("USER_LINKS_COMINGSOON_PREFIX_TEXT","[In XXX day(s)]");
  define("MSG_UNSUBSCRIBE","[In XXX day(s)]");

  define("MSG_MISSING_COUPON","Sorry, coupon code is a required field. Please go ‘back’ and enter a valid coupon code.");
  define("MSG_PAYMENT_FAILED","Payment failed. Please contact the site admin. ");
  define("MSG_THANKYOU_SIGNUP","SUCCESS! Thank you for signing up. Please check your email for further details.");
  define("BUTTON_UPDATE","Update");
  define("SUCCESS_CREATION","SUCCESS! Your account has been successfully created! Please check your inbox for login information…");
  define("NO_AUTH","Sorry, you are either not logged in, or not authorized to perform this operation.");

List of Improved Features

• IMPROVED: Category protection error message.
  • If a category is protected as part of just 1 product, and someone doesn’t have access to it, then DAP will redirect to Product-Level Error Page URL. If that is blank, it will use Global Error Page URL.
  • If part of multiple products, goes directly to Global Error Page URL.
  • If DAP tries to use Global Error Page URL (however it got there), then if that field is also blank (or defaults to /dap/product-error.php), then it will use "In-Page Error Message with Padlock".
• IMPROVED: Logging in thru Login/Logout widget on any page is now considered a primary login.
• IMPROVED: When DAP Admin removes welcome/thankyou mesg, now shows a WARNING
• IMPROVED: When Product is saved, if there is no welcome mesg, now shows a WARNING
• IMPROVED: If Product is recurring, you can no longer set "recurring count" to null or 0 (in Products page)
• IMPROVED: Clicking on the link to a post that’s part of a product’s available content output from %%USERLINKS%% no longer opens that post in a new window
• IMPROVED: Product description may not be more than 127 characters. Cannot save product settings if it’s more.
• IMPROVED: Changed default templates for new installations: Forgot password subject and body, Locked email body
• IMPROVED: One-time products with access end date of "9999-12-31" will no longer be highlighted with a warning color.
• IMPROVED: Enter key works during login now
• IMPROVED: If recurring is Y and recurring cycle 1 is not set, then show ERROR

• FIXED: Link Titles can now have apostrophes and it won’t show backslashes.

WARNING: READ THIS BEFORE YOU UPGRADE

There a few critical things you need to remember to do BEFORE and IMMEDIATELY AFTER you upgrade.

BEFORE UPGRADING

This release is BETA – not for use on already LIVE web sites with ongoing sales

If you’re already running a live web site that’s generating sales, then you should probably skip this beta release, and wait for the final release.

However, if you’re just getting started with DAP, or if you are at least a week or so from launching, then we highly recommend that you upgrade to this version, as it has so many usability features and fixes to nagging issues from the past, that it will make things a LOT easier for you during setup and maintenance.

Make sure you are not mixing FREE and PAID users in the same DAP Product.

Starting with DAP v4.3, if a user has access to a product, they will get access to content within the product (as per drip dates and access expiry, of course). The only thing that changes is…. you no longer have to make sure that content is marked as FREE in order for FREE users to be able to access it, or worry about mistakenly adding a user as FREE to a paid product, and forgetting to mark them as PAID, and then they have an issue accessing the content. This is the biggest issue for most people starting with DAP, so we’ve finally decided to fix it the right way.

So the thumb rule here is…

If User has access to Product, it doesn’t matter if they’re a free or paid user, it doesn’t matter if your content is marked as free or marked as paid – they WILL get access to the content in the product (depending on their access start and end dates, drip days/dates, etc – no change to those things).

AFTER UPGRADING

Revisit ALL of your FREE products and set "Allow Free Signup?" = "Yes"

DAP 4.3 has a new field on the "General Settings" tab of the Products > Manage page, called "Allow Free Signup?". If you are using a free DAP signup form (also known as "Direct Signup Form" or "Free Signup Form" in DAP) to sign up people for free to a DAP Product, OR if you are doing Aweber-to-DAP integration (where you sign them up for free to Aweber first, and then have Aweber add them to DAP), then be sure to set this new field to "Yes" for all such FREE products.

You need to do this only for your free products. If you don’t do it, your free DAP signup forms will no longer work.

By default, after upgrading to v4.3, all of your DAP Products will be set to "Allow Free Signup?" = "No" – so there will be no impact to your existing paid products.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do ask them via the comments section below.

We’re super-thrilled to announce the public launch of our newest site, WickedCoolPlugins.com (WCP).

But don’t go there yet – because you certainly don’t want to miss out on this wicked-cool offer we’re about to make you.

Now, WickedCoolPlugins.com comes with 7 Wicked Cool Plugins.

We first did an internal beta, then a closed-beta with a few DAP users, then we did a soft launch, and finally, we’re now opening it up for a full-on public launch!

And for the next few days only, you will be able to get an insane deal on these 7 plugins.

We’ve priced these 7 plugins so low during this launch, that you can literally get 7 plugins for the price of 1. And you’re never going to be able to buy them for less than what we’re currently offering.

But Wait… There’s More!

You knew we would say that

The incredible bargain that you’re getting right now, is not even the coolest part!

We really wanted to make you an offer you couldn’t refuse!

So here’s our very exclusive, "You Gotta Be Kidding Me!" super-special launch bonus (available for the next few days only)…

The 8th Wond… er, Plugin!

Even though you will find 7 spanking new plugins at WickedCoolPlugins.com, we are actually about to add an 8th one!

And you can get this 8th Plugin as a FREE LAUNCH BONUS (a $97 value) if you act fast.

[If you already purchased a copy during pre-launch, then no worries - just open a ticket and we'll send you a copy too!]

DAPTicket

That’s what we’re calling this 8th plugin!

DAPTicket (DT) is basically a support ticket system for your web site, that you can install on your own DAP-powered membership site, and have your members open tickets to get help with questions about Billing, Product Support, Pre-Sales, Technical Support, etc.

Here are some highlights of DAPTicket:

• A "Members-Only Ticketing System" – so you can keep non-members and expired members out.
• Fully integrated with DAP
• Supports Single Sign-on. If they log in to DAP on your site, they are also automatically recognized by the ticketing system, and can open tickets without having to enter their name or email address.
• You can set up "Rules" that decide which DAP products are eligible for support (and hence, which ones are not)
• You can force members to log in to DAP on your site first, before they can open a support ticket. This eliminates the problem of members using a completely different email id (than used in their membership account) for the ticketing system, then you not being able to recognize who they are, and then having to ask them what their member email id is after they’ve opened the ticket. As you can imagine, we too face this problem with our current support system here at DigitalAccessPass.com, which was a big part of our motivation to create this new system.
• If a member’s access to a product has expired, or if they’ve gotten a refund, they will not be able to open a support ticket
• You can also configure a "Renewal Link" in the rules, so if a member’s access has expired, they will automatically be taken to the renewal page where you can sell them on the benefits of renewing.
• A fully automated, "Do It Yourself" support system for your members: They can open new tickets, update existing tickets, upload files along with the tickets, and view the status of all of their current and past support tickets via an easy-to-use support dashboard.
• As the site admin, you will get notified on all new tickets, updates to existing tickets, alerts about overdue tickets, etc.
• You can also create any number of "Departments" – like Billing, Product Support, Technical Support, Pre-Sales, etc

NOTE 1: DAPTicket is our custom fork of an open-source ticketing system, which we have customized and fully integrated it with DAP. Plus we’re offering 1 year of free support for our modified version – something that you can’t get for an open-source solution – not for free any way. And we have changed it quite a bit to work with DAP, so we will have to continue maintaining the fork going forward.

NOTE 2: We’re currently beta-testing DAPTicket on this very web site, so the plugin is not yet available for download. It will be available along with our upcoming DAP v4.3 release that comes out in just a few weeks.

NOTE 3: Plus, we’re only just getting started . Since we are already using the system ourselves, we’re going to know exactly what features to add, and which ones to improve. And, as user feedback comes in, it’s only going to get better and better with each new release.

And for a limited time, you can get this entire system for free!

What You Get With DAPTicket

Here’s what you get with the DAPTicket Plugin:

• The entire Support Ticket app (it is a stand-alone system – not a WordPress plugin)
• Includes scripts that contain the DAP integration
• The "DAPTicket Rules" scripts that go into your "dap" folder
• Free 1-year of support and upgrades
• You can easily install it yourself. However, if you would rather have us do it, then installation may be purchased for a nominal fee of $49.99.
• And for those who can afford it, we will soon be offering a  "Done For You" package for DAPTicket (more details on that when we release it)

Here are some screen-shots of DAPTicket…

DAPTicket: Support Home Page (click to enlarge)

Of course, you can use your own logo and footer links – you don’t have to use ours. That’s just to show you how we’ve customized it for ourselves.

DAPTicket: Open New Ticket (click to enlarge)

DAPTicket: View Ticket Status (click to enlarge)

NOTE: We’re currently beta-testing the DAPTicket plugin on our own web sites, and the plugin is not yet available for download. It will be available along with our upcoming DAP v4.3 release that comes out in just a few weeks.

And you will get it for FREE (when released) as long as you buy a copy of the WickedCoolPlugins.com Unlimited-site license before the end of the day on Monday, February 20th, 2012 (by midnight)

So head over to WickedCoolPlugins, purchase it at the lowest price you’ll ever get it for, and when you purchase the Unlimited-site license, then you will also get the DAPTicket plugin (a $97 value) for free in a few weeks when it is launched.

AND, once you sign up, you will get your own affiliate link that you can use right away to start promoting WCP to your list.

NOTE: To get the free "DAPTicket" Bonus plugin, you MUST purchase the Unlimited-site license of WickedCoolPlugins.com

And starting Tuesday, February 21st, the price will go up $10 every single day until it hits the regular list price of $167 for the 1-site license and $247 for Unlimited-site license. And when the DAPTicket software is launched, price for both 1-site license and Unlimited-site license will go up even more!

But you can get it all for one low price today, PLUS the DAPTicket Bonus.

Our wicked cool new web site is now live (only for some, though!)

We're proud and excited to announce the pre-launch of WickedCoolPlugins.com (WCP).

We're launching 7 wicked cool plugins (just like the name suggests) , and there's no way we could've done a big launch and still supported everyone the way we always like to.

And that's why we're doing a soft launch today.

Which means, we're not yet letting any of our own DAP users – or subscribers on any of our lists – know (not yet, at least).

And that's also why we're launching on a Friday, so that we will have time over the weekend to slow down and take care of all support requests and sort out any launch-related issues.

The only announcements about the WickedCoolPlugins.com launch are being made via this blog, and also to our 189 awesome DAP users who volunteered to beta test these very same plugins earlier last week (see the previous post on this blog).

If you were one of those who left a comment on the "Beta Testers Wanted" post, then you have just been sent an email with a coupon code that will give you an instant $20 discount towards your purchase of any of the plugins (including the entire plugin pack). So check your email inbox for this coupon. And please note that only a limited number of these coupons have been made available. So time is of the essence if you want to get the absolute lowest price you will ever pay for these plugins.

Plus, once you sign up, you will get your own affiliate link that you can use to promote WCP, even before we tell our own lists.

As always, we eagerly look forward to your comments. So please do leave behind a comment further below.

Cheers!

We've been working on a top-secret web site that we're going to be launching later this week.

Can't tell you much about it yet, but just know this…

It's an awesome toolbox, jam-packed with 7 spanking new WordPress plugins, that will literally rock your WordPress world!

How dat for a teaser?

And we're looking for 5 Beta Testers, who can help us with the following…

• You will test at least 5 of the 7 plugins within the next 3 days (each plugin should take no more than 10 minutes to setup and test) and give us meaningful feedback (not just "it works fine").
• You will provide us with a (hopefully awesome) testimonial that we can use during the launch (only if you think the plugins totally rock, of course!)
• You will maintain absolute secrecy, and will not breathe a word about this to anyone, until it's pre-launch time and you get the go-ahead from us

What's In It For You

• In return for all of your help, you get a Free Copy of the entire plugin pack (all 7 plugins)
• You get a Lifetime License of the entire set of plugins, with 1 Year of FREE, Unlimited Upgrades & Support
• You get to cut in line and be a Charter Affiliate. And should you choose to participate in the pre-launch promotions, you get to tell everyone – ahead of even us telling our own users and subscribers – for which you will earn affiliate commissions, of course!

If you don't have the time to help us us out with the testing, then we kindly ask that you skip this offer, as this is not a get-something-for-nothing offer. We do absolutely need your help, and in return, you get a free copy, 1 year of free support & upgrades, and get to be a pre-launch affiliate, and also win some big brownie-points with us

If this is something you can help us with, then please go ahead and let us know in the comments below, and we'll be in touch with the first 5 to respond.

Either way, look out for a rockin' new launch coming your way this week. You certainly wouldn't want to miss the launch, because the launch pricing starts with a whopping discount of 60%, and then will work itself all the way up to regular list pricing, with the price going up every single day for 10 straight days.

Looking forward to working with the "Fab Five" Beta Testers…

Cheers!

Funny eCards at JibJab

Just wanted to let you know that DAP now works with 2Checkout.com.

The new file is dap-2co.php and it has been rolled into the existing dap_v4.2.1.zip file, and is available for download in the member's area (if you already are on 4.2.1, you will have to download the zip file again, sorry!

And the documentation for 2Checkout integration can be found here.

Cheers!

P.S: By the way, we've actually completed integration with WP eStore too!
The code and documentation for that will be available shortly.

It has been live since 09/15/2011 actually – we preferred doing a silent launch to make sure no other issues are reported, before we officially announced it.

So DAP 4.2.1 is stable and production- ("live-site") worthy.

Go ahead and download both DAP v4.2.1 and LiveLinks v1.7 from the member's area and upload to your site.

NEW: Premium Web Cart Integration!

We're thrilled to announce that we just completed integration with Premium Web Cart (PWC), a hosted shopping cart service.

Click here for documentation on how to integrate DAP with PWC.
 

NOTES:

• If you are already on DAP v4.2.1, then no further action is required, unless you want the PWC integration script, in which case you'll need to download dap_v4.2.1.zip again, and inside you'll find dap-pwc.php in the main dap folder.
   
• If you are running 4.2 or earlier version of DAP, we urge you to upgrade your DAP installation to the newest version of DAP (v4.2.1) and LiveLinks (v1.7)
   
• Click here to log in to the member's area.
   
• Click here for instructions on how to upgrade your DAP installation

• If you want us to perform the upgrade, then purchase an installation by clicking here (see "Installations" tab)
   
• Click here to view our release history that shows what's in each of our releases.
   
• Documentation on how to integrate DAP with PWC
   
• Premium Web Cart is a paid shopping cart service. We are not offering any PWC accounts for free. You must sign up for a PWC account separately. All we have done is integrate DAP with PWC.

There are other awesome things coming up, but we can't talk about it just yet!

So expect to hear from us within the next couple of weeks with some cool news.

Cheers!

PS: As always, please leave your comments & thoughts below

PPS: And if you're new to DAP, then our "Get DAP For Free" offer is going extremely strong.

Please visit this link to see our current offers about how you can get DAP for free.

Here's how you can get a free copy of DAP (1-site license) to use for yourself, or to give-away to any of your friends, customers or list members… (one day only)

Or you may instead opt for a free 1-year extension of support & upgrades on your current license (a $120 value). You can get an extension on any license you own – whether it's a 1-site license, Unlimited-site license, or Membership-Site-In-A-Box license.

Now we've probably told you this before..

Mike Filsaime's Butterfly Marketing was a key influencer in our vision for DAP to include an affiliate program right from the very beginning – and that very feature has really helped us distinguish ourselves from other competitors.

And Mike, now a good friend – and one of the good guys in the industry – is on the final day of launching a very cool script that lets you do automated webinars.

This thing is REALLY loaded….

• Automated Webinars
• Performance metrics
• Webinar replay page
• SMS notifications for attendees
• Delayed events, polls, live chat
• No monthly fees
• One time purchase, with Lifetime Support & Lifetime Updates (launch bonus)
• Free tickets to live event (launch bonus)

Believe it or not, we were seriously thinking, barely a few months ago, about creating a script in the automated webinars niche, but Mike beat us to the punch .

We may still come out with a similar script some day, but for now, gotta recommend Mike's solution, because he's one of the few really techie marketers around, who understands technology, and can also afford the infrastructure to support such techie products, and because the solution is here, n-o-w!

And to show our support for Mike, who so kindly gave us a testimonial for DAP (it is plastered on the front page at digitalaccesspass.com) as soon as we asked, we have decided to give away a free 1-site license of DAP to anyone who buys through our affiliate link below.

All you have to do is buy through our link (we get compensated, of course!) and then forward us your receipt, and once we confirm your purchase, we will give you a FREE 1-site license in your name, or in the name of anyone you nominate (could be your favorite customer, friend, affiliate, or a list member. Heck, you could even create some kind of a contest and then give us the name of the winner!). Or you could instead get a free 1-year extension of support & upgrades on your own current license.

But the launch is ending in less than a day (sorry about the last minute notification – we just got back from an awesome vacation and just found out about this).

P.S: You already know that we rarely promote third-party products to our users, and even when we do, we have never, ever offered a DAP license for free till date. This only goes to show you how much we believe in Mike's products. So check it out regardless – the worst that can happen is that you may experience a big "Aha!" moment

P.P.S: Obvious disclaimer: If you buy Mike's script, you must stay past the refund period (duh!). If not, your free license (or 1-year extension) will be negated.
