DAP allows you to create an opt-in form to directly sign-up users to your Product (which also acts as a “list” if you only want to drip or broadcast emails).
This is very similar to creating a sign-up form at Aweber or 1ShoppingCart, and allowing people to directly sign up by entering just their First Name & Email Id.
How To Generate Direct Signup Form HTML
1) Create a Product or select an existing Product
2) Click on the link below the product list that says “Direct Signup Form HTML”
3) That will bring up a little pop-up that will have the HTML for the signup form.
4) The form looks something like this:
<form name=”dap_direct_signup” method=”post” action=”http://www.YourSite.com/dap/signup_submit.php”>
<table>
<tr><td>First Name: </td> <td><input type=”text” name=”first_name” size=”10″></td></tr>
<tr><td>Email:</td> <td><input type=”text” name=”email” size=”10″></td></tr>
<tr> <td colspan=”2″><input type=”submit” name=”Submit” value=”Sign Up”></td></tr>
</table>
<input type=”hidden” name=”productId” value=”1″>
<input type=”hidden” name=”redirect” value=”/dap/login.php?msg=Success!%20Your%20membership%20account%20has%20been%20created.%20%20Check%20your%20email%20address%20in%20a%20few%20minutes%20for%20your%20password“>
</form>
Paste the above form into any HTML page, or WordPress Page or Post where you want the direct sign-up form to appear.
The form already has all the code required to add the user to your member database, with “Free” access to the Product (for which you generated the HTML code)
That’s it!
With DAP 4.0, we allow the following additional fields to be accepted via the direct signup form.
first_name, last_name, user_name, email, address1, address2, city, state,zip,country, company,phone,fax,title,paypal_email
Take the direct signup form code from the dap products page, and to that, you can add additional attributes with the following names:
For ex:
If you want to accept the user’s paypal email address, the just that to the form code above:
<tr>
<td>Paypal Email:</td>
<td><input type=”text” name=”paypal_email” size=”10″></td>
</tr>
<tr>
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this form be published on any site? Or can it be published only on the site where DAP is installed?
This form can be published on any web site – can be completely different from the site where DAP is installed. Please note that the above form submits to the url “http://www.YourSite.com/dap/signup_submit.php” – so doesn’t matter which site this form is published on, the user is always added to the site where DAP is installed, which is http://www.YourSite.com.
What happens after user signup?
If you note the text in bold in the above form (reproduced below)…
<input type=”hidden” name=”redirect” value=”/dap/login.php?msg=Success!%20Your%20membership%20account%20has%20been%20created.%20%20Check%20your%20email%20address%20in%20a%20few%20minutes%20for%20your%20password“>
… you’ll see that the default form redirects to the page /dap/login.php (which is the default dap login page) and on that page, displays on the message “Success! Your membership account has been created. Check your email addresss in a few minutes for your password”.
After Sign up is complete, how to redirect to a link of my choice?
In the form, you can modify the hidden field named “redirect” to any URL of your choice. Here are some examples:
<input type=”hidden” name=”redirect” value=”http://www.SomeOtherNonDAPSite.com/thankyou.html“>
OR
<input type=”hidden” name=”redirect” value=”http://www.YourSite.com/2010/12/31/thank-you“>
Take the direct signup form code from the dap products page, and to that, you can add additional attributes with the following names:
firstname, lastname, username, email, address1, address2, city, state,zip,country, company,phone,fax,title,paypal_email

Thanx a bunch…this is exactly what i was looking for
How and when does the FREE TRIAL user’s password get generated initially, and how long does it take to show up in their email?
Clint,
>>How and when does the FREE TRIAL user’s password get generated initially, and how long does it take to show up in their email?<<
It gets generated as soon as they hit submit on the signup form after entering their first name and email id. Email is sent instantly from your DAP site to your member.
Does the sign up form allow the addition of more fields, such as lastname?
Is there a way to have the person sign-up for multiple “products” at the same time? (We currently use AutoResponse Plus and people check off the channels of interest and it adds them to those autoresponders.)

Hi,
Just say if affiliate1 directs a new user to the Free sign up form, how can affiliate1 get credit if the new user signs up as a member and become an affiliate?
See – http://www.digitalaccesspass.com/doc/affiliates-faq/
Would it be possible to use a variation of this to get new customers signed up to an email list from the payment processing rather than them having to fill in a forim?
I also use autoresponse plus and would like to link each product directly to autoresponse plus without using the sign up via email but rather by taking the same information which comes from paypal and passing it directly to ARP.
Yes it’s possible.
1) First integrate autoresponse plus with DAP using this.
http://www.digitalaccesspass.com/doc/dap-plugin-framework/
2) Then create the product in dap and update the Notify Plugin section to include the autoresponse plus info.
3) Integrate DAP with the payment processor
4) Now when the user comes to your site and clicks on the button, they will be transferred to paypal and upon payment, the user account will be automatically created in DAP and also DAP will automatically add user to the list at autoresponse plus.

This is great. Is there a way to have free users (or paid) automatically added to AWeber after they’ve successfully been added to a product?
Yes.
Pls see: http://www.digitalaccesspass.com/doc/aweber-integration-summary/
I’ve added a cool little bit of code you can read about and download here:
http://www.hostliketoast.com/2011/11/digital-access-pass-preventing-spam-sign-ups-using-g-a-s-p/
it’s if you want to add a level of spam protection to your Free Sign-up forms – it uses the same approach as the GASP plugin for WordPress comments.
Hope you like
Paul.
Is it possible to have a product be available for free sign up to only users you authorize, maybe using the free sign up with coupon code option? If so, I can’t figure out how to manage the coupons for free sign-up – the page for coupons says PayPal only. Thanks. Doug
>>maybe using the free sign up with coupon code option < <
Yes.
You can create dap signup form with coupon code enabled in the dap products page.
