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!

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“>
