Hi Ravi,
Just wanted to confirm, Can I do the “customer ordering” of links in this version?
(In reference to your article here http://www.digitalaccesspass.com/doc/order-of-links-on-my-links-page/)
I’ve been using the ‘ClickBank INS support’ for the past couple of weeks (thanks Veena) it works great!
Hi Ravi,
in this new version, I can remove the association between a subscriber and its referring affiliate (i.e. my JVPartners) ?
Thanks
Ermes
HTML email now is very cool. I can’t wait to start using that. I love the vbulletin addition too! Can you say community, community, community!
does it have N tier affiliate option ?
Great features,
Do we have to pay for this upgrade?
Thanks
I’m having trouble seeing my customer list and make changes if needed. I didn’t have that problem before the update.
After the upgrade the dap users list no longer displays from Manage–>Users Search, but instead “Oops, an error occurred in the database. Please try again or contact site owner”.
The users are still present in the dap_users table.
Some good stuff in here, looks really great. I look forward to the final release!
Are you planning to integrate with other forum softwares or just VBulletin? Also is it a completely seamless integration so you register on one and are registered on both?
Do you offer a set up and design service?
Ravi and Veena, YOU ARE AWESOME!
Can’t wait until the multi tier affiliate program come out!
Thanks all for your comments.
Justin,
We will certainly integrate with other forum softwares in future. DAP already integrates with WordPress-based Forums – like bbPress, Simple:Press, buddypress etc in addition to vB.
We plan to integrate DAP with SMF, phpBB etc in future.
Jason/Ray,
Looks like you did not get redirected to the page that shows you a link to upgrade the database when you go to your DAP Dashboard.
So just visit:
http://yoursite.com/dap/admin/updates/update.php
(Pls change Yoursite.com to your actual domain name).
And then you’ll see a link to upgrade. Just click on that link, and then it should be fine.
You do not need to specifically pay for this upgrade.
You need to renew your access to DAP upgrades/support only if it has expired.
You can login to your membership area at http://www.digitalaccesspass.com/dap to find out your access dates.
The DAP license is non-expiring. It’s just the access to upgrades/support that expires every 6 months.
Keyur,
DAP N tier affiliate option is not part of DAP 3.9 but will certainly be part of DAP 4.0.
Ermes,
DAP 3.9 does not support the removal of association between a subscriber and the referring affiliate.
Trying to upgrade, but it’s asking for the config file. Was that forgotten?
Michael,
We never include dap-config.php – otherwise it would overwrite your existing one. Hope you didn’t delete your existing config file or “dap” folder, did you?
See this post about upgrading (Step #2):
http://www.digitalaccesspass.com/doc/upgrading-to-latest-version-dap/
Ankur,
No, you cannot do “custom” re-ordering of links in this version. It’s on our to-do list and hopefully will make it to DAP 4.0.
You said ” The DAP license is non-expiring. It’s just the access to upgrades/support that expires every 6 months.”
How do I purchase access to upgrades/support for another 6 months? Tx
Thanks, wan’t to test it BUT when I log into my Unlimited account I can only find 3.8? On question that’s maybe not direct linked to DAP but could be to WP. My site (running DAP 3.7) looks right BUT I don’t want the “drop-down” menus to show up and the when clicking on the get the message “You must be logged in..”. Can I hide some of the “Tabs” or submenus form showing up until I am logged in as member?
Graeme, you can purchase access to upgrades/support for another 6 months here:

Does DAP integrate with Google Checkout?
I haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere on the site. I did a site search & found a couple comments where it was asked but the questions weren’t answered. Thanks.
Mark,
Yes, DAP integrates with Google Checkout via the
XML response handler.
We recently integrated DAP with GC but we do not have any documentation on it yet that’s why you do not see it mentioned on the site.
If you want to integrate DAP with GC, please open a support ticket at http://www.digitalaccesspass.com/support and we will send you detailed instructions.
Hey Ravi and Veena,
What exactly is “ClickBank INS”? The No more need for “Email Processing†for CB has really got my attention. Does that mean there is no longer need for the email config setup and cron job between my site on DAP and CB?
Alan,
Correct, no more need for Email processing.
See – http://www.digitalaccesspass.com/doc/integrating-clickbank-via-ins/
That is awesome! Time to purchase the upgrade. That’s most of my support issues with my products when my host mail server hiccups and it doesn’t communicate with CB and they don’t get their access email right away.
Ravi
Any date for Joomla compatibility yet?
I’ve got an application just crying out for DAP.
Thanks.
