What this is about

1ShoppingCart recently updated their recurring billing email notification format. So we have created a new template so that DAP can process your recurring orders automatically.

Who does this affect

Anyone using 1ShoppingCart (1SC), or any private labels of 1SC, including our own 1SiteAutomation.com and have setup a subscription-product through DAP. You could be using 1SC for selling a number of different products through different web sites. This is relevant to you only if you have DAP on your site and have integrated it with 1SC for certain recurring products.

[NOTE: If you are a new DAP customer, and downloaded DAP any time after 3 PM PST on August 22, 2010, then this update is already part of your DAP installation. You may ignore this post entirely.]

What you need to do

1. Log in to the member’s area at http://DigitalAccessPass.com/dap/
2. Download the zip file update-1sc.zip from your member’s area.
   [NOTE: If you do not see the file in your member's area, it is possible that you no longer have access to DAP Support & Upgrades, in which case you will have to renew first. If you have already renewed, and still don't see the file, just open a ticket and we'll resolve it asap]
3. Unzip it to your desktop. You will see a file inside by name update-1sc.php
4. Upload this directly to the dap folder on your site, via FTP
5. Log in to DAP on your web site as DAP Admin
6. Run the script, by visiting the following link in your browser:
   http://YourSite.com/dap/update-1sc.php
   (Please change the text “yoursite.com” in the above link to your actual domain name)
7. Once you visit the above link in your browser, you will automatically be redirected to your DAP Admin Home Page on your web site.
8. Optional: Delete the file update-1sc.php from the dap folder on your web site.

That’s it!

If you have any general questions, feel free to post them in the comments below.

If you have any specific technical questions relating to your web site, please open a ticket at http://DigitalAccessPass.com/support/

[NOTE: If you are a "Membership Site In A Box" (MSIAB) license owner who is paying monthly for support, then please open a ticket with your Site URL, FTP & DAP Admin details, and we'll install this for you for free]

Using the Unlimited License

With this license, you can install and use DAP only on web sites you ow (as an individual or business entity).

This includes (but not restricted to)…

1) You CANNOT use it for a “JV” (say a partnered membership site) with another business owner. Example: You tell your partner, “You bring the content, I’ll bring the membership software”. Not allowed.

2) You CANNOT use it for your clients’ web sites, say, if you are a web , designer or virtual assistant (or perform any kind of services for clients).

3) You CANNOT redistribute, re-purpose, re-package the license in any way whatsoever. It is strictly to be used only on sites you own.

4) If you want to install DAP for clients, feel free to use your own affiliate link to purchase a license on their behalf, and you can bill them separately. Don’t forget to use a unique email id when purchasing a license on somebody’s behalf, so that we can track it as a new sale and give you the correct affiliate credit for the sale. Or you could also simply give your affiliate link to your client, and ask them to sign-up for DAP using that link.

5) When you buy this license for yourself, installation is free only for the first web site. Additional installations can be purchased for just $19.97 per installation, or you could do it yourself.

Additional Comments

* When you purchase the unlimited license, you own the license for life. But you get free support and updates for 6 months.

* While the software itself will never expire, your ability to get free support and upgrades does expire after 6 months. At which time, you may sign up for our extremely affordable Upgrades & Support program. But again, this is optional. You don’t have to sign up for anything or pay us another penny ever again if you don’t want support or upgrades after 6 months.

You can upgrade your license to a bigger license (say, “1-site” to “3-site” – or “3-site” to “Unlimited”) at any time by just paying the difference.

Please note that if you upgrade, your “Free Support/Free Upgrades” dates will not be extended.

They will stay the same as your original license purchase.

1) Download the latest version of DAP WP Livelinks from the members area.

2) Unzip the zip file to your desktop. Upload the entire DAP-WP-LiveLinks folder (including the folder too) to your WordPress plugins directory (which is wp-content/plugins/)

That’s it!

The following is relevant to you only if you are “Upgrading” DAP from an earlier version. (What’s new?)

Here’s how to upgrade to the new version:

2. Download the zip file (from your member home page) and unzip to desktop. You should now see a folder by the name “dap” on your desktop.

3. OVERWRITE the entire contents of the “dap” folder on your web site, with the contents of the new “dap” folder on your desktop.

4. Upgrade your version of LiveLinks too.

5. Login as WordPress Admin, go to “Settings > Permalinks” and then click on “Save Changes”.

6. You will now see a new link called “DigitalAccessPass” towards the bottom left of your WP Admin menu. Click on it and follow the instructions on your screen.

That’s it!

That’s it!

This is just for your information….

We have moved the email and header/footer templates from text files into the database, as some web hosts were very weird with file permissions and were causing issues. So all files which were previously located under /dap/templates/email/ and /dap/templates/content/ have now been moved to the database.

The contents of these template files have been copied over as-is to your database. But just as a sanity check, visit your “Admin > Templates” screen and double-check the content of these templates.

Updating your installation of DAP is very easy.

1. Download newest version of DAP files (dap_vXX.zip) from your member page
2. Unzip contents of the file to your desktop (or somewhere on your hard disk)
3. Overwrite the contents of the dap folder on your web site with the contents of the new dap folder on your desktop
4. If you’re logged in as DAP Admin, log out
5. Log in as DAP Admin and follow the instructions on the screen (you’ll be asked to click on a link to start the upgrade).

That’s it!
