Or also called as network builder. And we introduced this feature in DAP v4.4.

We call it DAP “Upline” – basically a shortcode called [DAPUpline] that allows you (site admin) to display the person’s upline’s affiliate code to the person. So in effect, it is a downline builder.

1) John joins your site
2) John fills out profile with (say) his ClickBank nickname
3) John refers Adam
4) When Adam logs in, he sees affiliate link to some xyz third party product, but CB nick in the affiliate link is replaced with John’s CB nickname.
5) Adam fills out his profile with his own CB nickname
6) Adam refers Jill
7) When Jill logs in, she sees affiliate link to same third party product, but cbnickname is replaced with Adam’s CB nickname.

This can be done with any number of third-party programs, as long as the nickname can be easily replaced with the info provided by the upline affiliate.

DAP even takes this one step further.

When Jill joins through Adam’s DAP affiliate link, if Adam has not filled out his CB nickname in his profile, then the third-party CB link shows CB Nickname of Site Admin in its place.

So if an affiliate fails to claim his affiliate link, then site admin gets credit for it (and all such links).

Here’s the documentation for [DAPUpline]

Q: How to automatically add a new user in DAP to a 1SiteAutomation.com (1SA) list (or other 1Shoppingcart – 1SC – private label)?

A: Every list in 1SA/1SC gets a unique email id – like 1sc-12345@autocontactor.com ).

Add that to the “3rd-Party Notification Email Ids” field of the DAP product (under Products > Manage > “Notifications” tab)

And make sure you set the “Direct Subscribe” field in your 1SA/1SC list to be “On”.

If you are using double-optin for your DAP product, then you would normally have entered the text %%ACTIVATION_LINK%% in your email body, which is replaced by a unique confirmation link specific to that user.

Normally, when that activation link is clicked, the user is redirected to your login page configured under Setup > Config > Login URL.

But if you wanted them to be redirected elsewhere to a page of your choice, then in your double-optin email body, where you normally enter %%ACTIVATION_LINK%% , enter this instead:

%%ACTIVATION_LINK%%&redirect=http://link/to/landing/page/

Where “http://link/to/landing/page/” is the URL where you want them to be redirected to after they click on the double-optin activation link.

[DAPUpline]

Basically, this shortcode shows a user their referring Affiliate’s (a.k.a Sponsor’s) information.

So when a user visits the page that has this shortcode, it will display information of that user’s referring Affiliate – from

1) Cookie (if affiliate cookie exists).

2) Or if they’re already a member, and have logged in to DAP, then it will show their current Affiliate’s information.

3) And if neither the cookie is set, nor the user has an Affiliate attached to their account already, then it will show the info of the DAP Admin.

So you can use it to show the user information of the person (affiliate) who referred them to the page.

Think of it as a “Your Sponsor” tag.

For eg., to show affiliate’s first name on a page, insert this into page:
[DAPUpline showField="first_name"]

Full list of available fields from sponsor’s or affiliate’s profile:
[DAPUpline showField="first_name"]
[DAPUpline showField="last_name"]
[DAPUpline showField="user_name"]
[DAPUpline showField="email"]
[DAPUpline showField="address1"]
[DAPUpline showField="address2"]
[DAPUpline showField="city"]
[DAPUpline showField="state"]
[DAPUpline showField="zip"]
[DAPUpline showField="country"]
[DAPUpline showField="phone"]
[DAPUpline showField="fax"]
[DAPUpline showField="company"]
[DAPUpline showField="title"]
[DAPUpline showField="paypal_email"]

Showing Custom fields:
[DAPUpline showField="custom_"]

Eg: To show affiliate’s/sponsor’s custom SSN field (say “ssn”):
[DAPUpline showField="custom_ssn"]

NOTE: You should’ve already created the custom field “ssn” before you can do this, of course.

In DAP, you can not only send automated pre-scheduled emails to your members (Autoresponders), but you can also set up similar pre-scheduled “Reminder” emails to be sent to you (the admin) every time a member reaches a day milestone.

Eg: Let’s say you (the admin) want DAP to send you or someone on your team a reminder email to follow up with each member by email once they reach day #7 – meaning, it’s been 7 days since they signed up for a specific product.

This is how you do it in DAP:

1. Go to DAP Admin > Emails > Autoresponders
2. Click on “Compose New Email“
3. For subject, enter (say) “Follow Up with %%FIRST_NAME%%”
4. In the body of that email, you may use merge-tags for the member – like “Be sure to email %%FIRST_NAME %%LAST_NAME%% , ask them about their progress, see how they’re doing and upsell Platinum Coaching program. Their email id is: %%EMAIL_ID%%”
5. Further below on that page, in the “Send to 3rd Party (instead of member)” field, select “Yes (like admin or staff)” and you will see an additional text box show up below, where you can enter your (or your staff’s) email id where you want the reminder to be sent.
6. Save the email.
7. Go to the DAP Product where you want this email to be added to the sequence.
8. Go to “ContentResponder” tab.
9. Add this new email to the product, click on the “Edit” icon, and set it to be dripped on Day #7.

That’s it!

Now for each member that signs up for that product, regardless of when they join, every time they reach day #7, the reminder email will be sent to the 3rd party email id specified for that message (instead of being sent to member).

Reverse Dripping

If you want to be sent this same email say 3 days before member’s access expires to that Product, then set the email to be dripped on day “-3″. (See Expiration Notifications / Renewal Reminders)

This post is dedicated just to the [DAPUserProfile] shortcode. To see the rest of the DAP Shortcodes, click here.

[DAPUserProfile]

This is the shortcode that displays all of the user profile fields on a page.

You can customize which fields to show, and which to hide. Just set the profile field that you don’t want displayed, to “N” in the tag below.

Default version

[DAPUserProfile showFirstName="Y" showLastName="Y" showUserName="Y" showEmail="Y" showPassword="Y" showAddress1="Y" showAddress2="Y" showCity="Y" showState="Y" showZip="Y" showCountry="Y" showPhone="Y" showFax="Y" showCompany="Y" showTitle="Y" showPaypalEmail="Y" showOptedOut="Y" showCustomFields="Y"]

Default is “Y”. So Leaving out the text (for eg.) showLastName=”Y” entirely from the shortcode, is the same as setting it “Y”, which means it will be displayed.

Entering just [DAPUserProfile] into a page, will show ALL fields.

Show All Fields Except Phone & Fax

To hide just Phone and Fax, you would do something like this:

[DAPUserProfile showPhone="N" showFax="N"]

So all other fields will be displayed, except those two.

Show Just A Few

To show (say) just First, Last, Username, Password and Email, this is the shortcode:

[DAPUserProfile showFirstName="Y" showLastName="Y" showUserName="Y" showEmail="Y" showPassword="Y" showAddress1="N" showAddress2="N" showCity="N" showState="N" showZip="N" showCountry="N" showPhone="N" showFax="N" showCompany="N" showTitle="N" showPaypalEmail="N" showOptedOut="Y" showCustomFields="N"]

IMPORTANT: Make sure you ALWAYS show the opt-out field (showOptedOut=”Y”) . If you hide it, then member will get unsubscribed automatically from all emails, when they submit the profile form.

Related: [DAPUserLinks] shortcode

This post is dedicated just to the [DAPUserLinks] shortcode. To see the rest of the DAP Shortcodes, click here.

[DAPUserLinks]

This is the shortcode that shows the user a list of all of the products that they have access to, and details about each product – like name, description, links that have already been dripped, etc.

This is similar to %%USERLINKS%%, but more advanced and more customizable.

You can customize most of the elements of this shortcode, as shown below.

You can even customize this to show details of a specific product (instead of all products).

Full Version

[DAPUserLinks showProductName="Y" showAccessStartDate="Y" showAccessEndDate="Y" showDescription="Y" showLinks="Y" orderOfLinks="NEWESTFIRST" howManyLinks="10000" errMsgTemplate="SHORT" productId="ALL" dateFormat="YYYY-MM-DD" showproductcount="Y"]

Most of the elements are self-explanatory. Here are a couple explained in detail.

orderOfLinks

orderOfLinks can have one of two values…

NEWESTFIRST will drip newly dripped links at the top. So day 7 link will be above day 1 link.

OLDESTFIRST will drip newly dripped links towards the bottom. So day 1 link will be above day 7 link.

showproductcount

showproductcount=”N” will disable the heading “You have access to (X) products” at the top of the “My Content” section.

So, here’s another version of the DAPUserLinks shortcode that shows oldest links at th top, and does not show the product-count heading.

[DAPUserLinks showProductName="Y" showAccessStartDate="Y" showAccessEndDate="Y" showDescription="Y" showLinks="Y" orderOfLinks="OLDESTFIRST" howManyLinks="10000" errMsgTemplate="SHORT" productId="ALL" dateFormat="YYYY-MM-DD" showproductcount="N"]

productId

productId is by default set to “ALL” which means details for all products that a user has access to, will be displayed on that page. You can also configure it to show for just one product (productId=”8″) or a few select products (productId=”8,11″).

Subscriber Flow

The flow of subscriber in this model, is “FROM Aweber TO DAP“. User gets added to Aweber first, then arrives at DAP via Aweber “thank you page”, at which point she gets added to DAP.

Now, if the flow is from DAP-to-Aweber, and are using email parsing to integrate DAP and Aweber, then your Aweber list will always be double-opt-in (as per Aweber policy, nothing to do with DAP).

But if you want your Aweber list to be single-opt-in, or you want your sign ups to be added to Aweber first and then to DAP, then use this flow. HEre, you can use an Aweber signup form on your squeeze page (instead of the DAP sign-up form) and then have Aweber add users to DAP.

NOTE: You cannot use this flow for Paid members – because paid members will need to have paid first, which means DAP needs to process their payment first, and if successful, it can add them to Aweber. So for paid members and paid content, always use the other DAP-to-Aweber flow.

But for free signups (say, like when you’re trying to build a list), you can add them to Aweber first using the flow explained below, just so you can take advantage of making your Aweber list single-optin, and then have Aweber add the subscriber to DAP on the other end. So this way, DAP can then create a free account for them, email them their login/password, and give them access to the “Free” content (that is, content available only to “Registered” users, so to speak), etc.

So here are the steps…

Aweber To DAP Integration

1. Go to DAP Dashboard > Products > Manage page.

2. Note down the Product Id of the product to which you want to sign-up the users (after adding them Aweber first, of course). Let’s call this PRODUCTID

Aweber List Is Single-Optin

If your Aweber list is single-optin, then follow the steps below. If not, skip ahead to “Aweber List Is Double-Optin” flow further below.

(The old steps 3 & 4 no longer exist. To keep the image below in sync, follow the rest of the steps starting Step 5.)

5. Now login to your AWeber account.

5A) From the “Current List” drop-down, select the list that you wish to sign up users to.
5B) Click on “Web Forms” in the menu at the top.
5C) Edit existing form by clicking on the name of the list.

6. On the next page – the list form generator page – click on ‘Go to Step 2′ towards the bottom of the page.

7. On the next, page…

7A) Click on the thankyou page dropdown and select ‘Custom’.

7B) Set the thank you Page URL to http://YourSite.com/dap/signup_submit.php?productId=PRODUCTID

Replace YourSite.com with the name of your site.

Replace PRODUCTID with the Product Id of the product  you noted in step 2.

So, if the Product Id of the product in DAP is 2, then the thankyou page URL will be…
http://YourSite.com/dap/signup_submit.php?productId=2

7C) Where it says “Pass Form Data”, check the check box so that Aweber can “Forward subscriber information to your thank you page” – which essentially is DAP, so that DAP can add the subscriber to your membership site.

That’s it!

Aweber List Is Double-Optin

In this flow, set up your Web Form as usual, with no DAP-specific settings required.

Only change required is in the Aweber list’s main “List Settings” page.

5. Now login to your AWeber account.

6. From the “Current List” drop-down, select the list that you wish to sign up users to.

7. Go to My Lists > List Settings

8. Go to “Confirmed Opt-In” tab

9. Scroll down to “3: Success Page“.

9A) Set the “Confirmation Success Page URL” to http://YourSite.com/dap/signup_submit.php?productId=PRODUCTID

Replace YourSite.com with the name of your site.

Replace PRODUCTID with the Product Id of the product  you noted in step 2.

So, if the Product Id of the product in DAP is 2, then the thankyou page URL will be…
http://YourSite.com/dap/signup_submit.php?productId=2

9B) Check the check-box that says “Pass subscriber info for personalizing this page”. Ignore the comment that says “Not recommended for WordPress users”, because this is going to point to a DAP script, and not a WordPress page.

9C) Click on “Save Settings”.

That’s it!

ADDITIONAL NOTES

Now that you’ve set up DAP to integrate with your Aweber list (single- or double-optin), you may use the Aweber web form directly on your squeeze page for signing up subscribers (instead of DAP’s “Direct Signup Form”).

Now, every time a subscriber signs up via the Aweber form, they will automatically be added to DAP.

If your list is single-optin, then the subscriber will be added to DAP instantly after sign-up.

If your list is double-optin, then the subscriber will be added to DAP only AFTER they’ve clicked on the Aweber double-optin confirmation link.

In both cases, if they’re a new user to DAP, they will be auto-logged in to the member’s area.

You may also configure the DAP Product’s “Welcome Email” to send out the DAP email and password via DAP itself.

-OR-

You can leave the Welcome Email in DAP Product page as blank. And then configure DAP to generate a default password (DAP Admin > Setup > Config > Default Password) as shown below, and then enter that same pre-chosen password in to your very first Aweber follow up email that goes out to your subscribers, so that they can receive their dap id/password details directly from your Aweber list.

For more details about this default password, please see this post.

The old shortcode for displaying the user profile on a page, was %%USERLINKS%% which just displayed the entire user profile with all fields, without the ability to customize which fields to show.

That one is still valid. But starting DAP v4.4.3, we have a new shortcode to display userprofile.

[DAPUserProfile]

Allows you to selectively display profile fields on a page. Entering just the shortcode [DAPUserProfile] within a WP page, will show the default user profile form with all default fields being displayed.

So entering just [DAPUserProfile] on a pagem is the same as entering the full version below:

[DAPUserProfile showFirstName="Y" showLastName="Y" showUserName="Y" showEmail="Y" showPassword="Y" showAddress1="Y" showAddress2="Y" showCity="Y" showState="Y" showZip="Y" showCountry="Y" showPhone="Y" showFax="Y" showCompany="Y" showTitle="Y" showPaypalEmail="Y" showOptedOut="Y" showCustomFields="Y"]

Not Show Certain Fields

Just set the profile field that you don’t want shown to “N” in the shortcode.

Default is “Y”. So Leaving out the text showLastName=”Y” entirely from the shortcode, is the same as setting it “Y”, which means it will be displayed.

To NOT SHOW Phone and Fax

[DAPUserProfile showPhone="N" showFax="N"]

So all other fields will be displayed, except those two.

To SHOW just First Name, Last Name and Email

[DAPUserProfile showFirstName="Y" showLastName="Y" showUserName="N" showEmail="Y" showPassword="N" showAddress1="N" showAddress2="N" showCity="N" showState="N" showZip="N" showCountry="N" showPhone="N" showFax="N" showCompany="N" showTitle="N" showPaypalEmail="N" showOptedOut="N" showCustomFields="N"]

To SHOW just Password field

[DAPUserProfile showFirstName="N" showLastName="N" showUserName="N" showEmail="N" showPassword="Y" showAddress1="N" showAddress2="N" showCity="N" showState="N" showZip="N" showCountry="N" showPhone="N" showFax="N" showCompany="N" showTitle="N" showPaypalEmail="N" showOptedOut="N" showCustomFields="N"]

(both main password field and repeat password will always be displayed together)

When you protect a page, post or file URL in DAP on the “ContentResponder” tab, every protected link – and eligible (for display, based on dripping) link will show up on the “My Content” page.

If you wish to modify the “Link Text” (the actual text that is displayed when the user sees the link), then…

1) Click on the “Edit” icon next to any protected link under the “Protected Content” section, and that will bring up the “Drip Settings” popup.

2) In that popup, you can customize the “Link Text” field with any text you want.
