DAP Shortcodes

[…] DAP ShortCodes:  Partial content protection. Ability to hide different parts of the same post or page, using custom DAP shortcodes Example 1: Shows content to ONLY logged-in user [DAP]protected content here[/DAP] Example 2: Shows content between the shortcodes to only a PAID user who has access to Product Id 1. [DAP isPaidUser="Y" hasAccessTo="1" errMsgTemplate="SHORT"]protected content here[/DAP] […]

Is it possible to specify what day the content will be available inside the short code?

So for example, instead of protecting the entire post you can protect a portion of the post to be available on day one.

Another section of the post can become available on day two and so on and so forth.

Similar to [DAP isLoggedIn=”N”] is there a [DAP isPaidMember=”N”] so that we can show this “sign up as a full member today” button to both people who are non members and who are logged-in free members?

Thanks much. – Mitch

I actually need the exact opposite shortcode. I need to show a “Buy Now, Member’s Only Discount” button to users who DO NOT YET have product A.

Is there a shortcode for that?

[DAP isPaidUser=”Y” hasNOTAccessTo=”1″]¦Buy Now¦[/DAP]

Also, can I insert this short code into the “Message:User” template? That’s exactly where I need to promote new products on the member’s dashboard.

Thanks!

Scott – been looking into wordpress backend and we can likely make our own shortcodes with a bit of php programming and digging into the DAP code. I’ll wait and see if there’s an easier solution tho first 🙂

How do you put the shortcode to show the buy now information for people who have not purchased product id 1 and 2? (and also hide it from those who have purchased)

Kit,

See the last section “Hiding Content From Logged-In Members” @ http://www.digitalaccesspass.com/doc/dap-shortcodes/

Hi there. YES I have seen this page; I was wondering what the shortcode would look like for my situation above. I still can’t get it to work.

Hmm… I re-read your comment.

There’s no tag for ‘DoesNotHaveAccessTo’. The shortcode cannot be used to say only show to those registered or unregistered users that do not have access to product Id = 1 or 2.

This so TOTALLY rocks! Thank you!

Now I used this shortcode in a text widget – [DAP isLoggedIn=”N”]¦.content to show only to NON-members¦ [/DAP]

when I sign up I see the following

Sorry, you do not have access to this content.

Is it possible for you to change this programming in to hide the content but not to show the sentense b4 – just nothing?

Thanks for your help

>>Is it possible for you to change this programming in to hide the content but not to show the sentense b4 “ just nothing? << Try to use this: [DAP isLoggedIn="N" errMsgTemplate=""]¦.content to show only to NON-members¦ [/DAP]

It seems that the DAP shortcode outputs Paragraph tags around the content within the shortcode. Is there somewhere I can disable this behavior?

It’s actually a WP problem.

Just download the very latest version of LiveLinks 1.7.1 (if you’re not already on DAP v4.2.1, then download that too) afresh from our site at http://DigitalAccessPass.com/dap/ and upload the files to your site, and that should resolve that issue.

The WP formatting problem still exists in 1.7.1 as WP likes to mess with all the formatting of content.

Just need to be creative =)

I have a similar desire to what Mitch was mentioning above. I have given my paid product users access to my free product content, so if I protect something with the shortcode that gives access to free users, then both free and paid users can see it.

But paid users don’t need to see, for example, an upsell promotion, since they’re already upgraded. So I want to hide that sort of thing from them.

isLoggedIn=”N” won’t work, since they must be logged in to see the free stuff in the first place.

Is there a way to do this that I’m missing?

Thnx

Cass,

Use Product Chaining to move paid users out of the free product. So members of a free product will be only free members. And then you can use the DAP shortcode that restricts people only to a certain product. So if you restrict it to only the free product, then even paid users won’t be able to see it.

In fact, if you don’t want paid users to even see that such a post exists, then instead of using the DAP Shortcodes, better to use the ContentResponder section to protect the entire blog post, and unless you have Sneak-Peek on, the blog post will completely disappear for paid users like it was never even published.

Two questions:

Has the issue that Gerry mentioned – with auto-generated p tags been resolved in the newer version of DAP?

What takes precedence – a DAP Shortcode, or the setting that assigns a page/post to a DAP product?

If you wanted all of your posts to display a unique, post-specific call-to-action (instead of say, a video) to non-members – would you need to avoid adding the post to a product altogether?

Is this scenario possible? I am launching a training course, and I want all the students to begin on the same day. The course modules will appear weekly. So I can use in page dripping with the startdate shortcode for that.

However, three months down the road, I want to launch the course again and have all the new students start on a date that is three months later. They should also experience the course as being delivered in one per week modules.

I don’t want to hide the course from the first group of students. And I don’t want the second group of students to see the entire course at once.

Is there a way to configure the shortcodes to make that possible?

Nick,

Then you should create 2 separate products in DAP for group1 and group2 students. And you can startDate with the hasAccessTo tag.

Make sure group1 students only get access to product 1 and group 2 students only get access to product 2.

Then use something like this:
[DAP hasAccessTo=”1″ startdate=”2013-06-15″ enddate=”2013-12-31″]This message will appear to you only to users of Product 1, between the dates of June 15th, 2013 and Dec 31st, 2013 – and no further[/DAP]

[DAP hasAccessTo=”2″ startdate=”2014-06-15″ enddate=”2014-12-31″]This message will appear to you only to users of Product 2, between the dates of June 15th, 2014 and Dec 31st, 2014 – and no further[/DAP]

Thanks,
Veena

Thanks Veena. That would work if I only launched the course a few times. But if I wanted to launch it three or four times a year, every year, it seems that creating new courses for all those launches would get unwieldy.

Nick

Hi Nick,
>>But if I wanted to launch it three or four times a year, every year, it seems that creating new courses for all those launches would get unwieldy. << True, but this is the only option currently. Thanks, Veena

Is there a way to restrict access using a DAP shortcode to members who have product 1 AND product 2?

I want to allow access to a download page for people who are FULL members of my course (product 1) AND who are current active members of my coaching program (product 2).

I don’t want full members who are not active in the coaching program (product 1 without 2) or the reverse – active coaching members without full membership [on a short-term pass] (product 2 without 1) to be able to access the downloads.

The only way I can see to do this is to use a combination of “hasAccessTo” for the coaching program (ensuring current, active membership) and hasNoAccessTo for the various short term pass product codes (which full members will not have).

Is that the best we can do, given the current DAP shortcodes?

Veena – Thanks for replying promptly so I know what is currently possible using the DAP shortcodes. May I respectfully suggest that you add a new option for the shortcodes that allows testing for a member owning more than one product (e.g. Product 1 AND Product 2). This should be pretty easy to add to your system, and would make it much simpler website content management for cases like this.

Hi,

In relation to the Member-Specific Content shortcode
[DAP userId=”144″]protected content[/DAP]

Can you show me what the code would look like if I had say three people I wanted to see the protected content.

Thanks

>>In relation to the Member-Specific Content shortcode
[DAP userId=”144″]protected content[/DAP] << You can try using: [DAP userId="1,2,3"]protected content[/DAP] Thanks, Veena

Is there any way to show the member’s first name on a welcome page with a shortcode, as in “Hi, Bob! Welcome to your Flash Fiction Classroom.”

I tried using the DAPUserProfile will all values but showFirstName set to “N”, except for DAPUserProfile showFirstName=”Y”, but while that gave me the user’s name, it gave it to me inside the form box, and with the *Required field! notice right in the middle of my text. 😀

So is there something similar to [DAPUpline showField=”first_name”] that will allow me to just show the first name of the actual member?

Hi Holly,

Yes, there is: %%FIRST_NAME%%. For full list of merge tags for WordPress, see http://DigitalAccessPass.com/doc/merge-tags-in-wordpress-posts/

Hi,

Let’s say I have a membership site with two pages. Members automatically have access to page one. They cannot go to page two until they click a button on page one. If they try and go to page two, they get an error message. However, when they click the button on page one it unlocks the content so they can proceed to page two. In addition, if they logout and come back at a later date, they can pickup where they left off.

Can this be created with DAP shortcodes?

Thanks!

This is probably going to sound a little wacky. You have a shortcode that already does MOST of what I need it to do:

hasNOTAccessTo

What I want to do, though, is outside of what’s currently possible. In my classroom, I want to show students all the classes they have (done, dead simple, thank you).

But over in the sidebar, I want to give them purchase links to all the classes they DON’T have—but ONLY the classes they don’t already own.

If there were some way to have individual URLs wrapped in something like [DAP isLoggedIn=”Y” hasNOTAccessTo=”2″]URL [/DAP] that would show up as links, that would be amazing.

But if there isn’t, is there another way to be able to put links for JUST the courses each of my students doesn’t own over in the sidebar using DAP?

Holly,

You cannot list all the URLs under a product that they don’t have access to but you can show them any sales message you want and have the sales button that allows them purchase of the product using hasNoAccessTo tag in the DAP shortcode. You can use the DAP shortcode in a text widget.

Thanks,
Veena

I did not use these shortcodes a lot previously as I believed them not to be working in all aspects… but I didn’t see any posts saying they were not working, so I left it at that. However, I found out why this was after I used some sample code directly and it badly errored an OptimizePress page I was editing making it uneditable (good job I was able to edit the database to reverse the revision).

If you copy / paste the code direct from this page into WordPress it is has a likelyhood of failing to work or erroring so badly you “may” loose the edited page. The main reason is the inverted commas are not correct with some database default datasets in all situations and DAP / WP does not recognise them. This can be compounded by an active Theme / Plugin like OptimizePress.

NB: I wouldn’t have noticed but being inherently lazy I copied/pasted rather than typed it in the majority of times but there is a very subtle difference in the visual appearance. I haven’t dug in to see which dataset is at fault as I wasted enough time getting the functions “The Chief” desired.

The example above will work if its using the following ” character rather than ”
Working version, (for me).
[DAP hasAccessTo=”1,2,3″ errMsgTemplate=”SHORT”]…private…[/DAP]

As I mentioned, it is possibly a database dataset issue but I wanted to add this as a warning as it cost me a lot of time and loss of functionality (since I never bothered to use all of it).

Hope this helps someone else.

on my previous comment… regarding the Inverted commas the site theme / database changed the inverted commas to the wrong ones – (the ones that done work correctly)…

Just wondering if you are still considering the conditional content dripping feature?

Hi Ian,

>>Just wondering if you are still considering the conditional content dripping feature?<< Yes, absolutely. We ended up delaying the launch of this feature as there were other higher priority items to address but we will release it in a few weeks. Don't have the exact date yet. Thanks, Veena

Using either the DAP Upline shortcode or something similar, is there any shortcode that can be used to show a member information on other members that they refer of sponsor. I’d like to be able to show our members, the name and email address of people that they have sponsored using their referral-link. Preferably this could happen under the %%Affiliatedetails%% shortcode, but it could be something done on it’s own.

Does this exist currently?

Thanks… Bryan

Hi Bryan,

So you want to do the opposite of the Upline shortcode ( at http://DigitalAccessPass.com/doc/dap-upline/ ) ?

This is already possible as part of the %%AFFDETAILS%% shortcode. As DAP Admin, you can enable what information about the referred user that the affiliate can see. At this time, they can see First, Last, Email & Phone. You can configure which they see, under the Affiliate section of the DAP Config.

I wonder how I can display someone’s receipt number. For example,

Bob Jones purchases – his receipt number is 948585. I want to display that in Bob’s backoffice.

Mary purchases – her receipt number is 948586. I want to display that in Mary’s backoffice.

I would manually enter the receipt numbers somewhere under the client’s profile, and then, it should show somewhere?

Can this be done using Custom Fields or another way???

Thanks!

I dont have DAP installed yet, currently using Membermouse but thinking of switching since membermouse does not allow you to syncrhronize email autorepsonders with content dripping

Can i use a DAP shortcode in a sidebar of my WordPress Theme?

I would want to have a list of available drip content to display in the sidebar of each lesson page.

Is this doable?

Thanks,
Robin

Hi Robin,

>>Can i use a DAP shortcode in a sidebar of my WordPress Theme?<< Yes, you can use DAP shortcode in a text widget and configure it to show in the sidebar. But if you use content dripping and want to display the 'available' and 'upcoming' links, you will have to use the 'my content' shortcode and not the 'DAP shortcode'. See this post for more on 'My Content' shortcode: http://www.digitalaccesspass.com/blog/2015/03/responsive-my-content-page/

Thanks,
Veena

Is there a way to implement Nested Shortcodes? I have free and paying members and would like to put all the content on one page without locking it down totally from the public with the contentresponder.
—————————————
eg:

Public sees this… blah blah

[DAP]

free members see this… blah blah

[DAP hasAccessTo=”2″ errMsgTemplate=” “]

Payed members see this also… blah blah

[/DAP]

[/DAP]

—————————–

Not sure how to get this working if it’s possible.

Thanks,

Rob

Hi Robert,

Say product Id = 2 is your free product.
Say product Id = 3 is your paid product.

You can do this:

Public sees this… blah blah

[DAP hasAccessTo=”2″ ]

free members see this… blah blah

[/DAP]

[DAP hasAccessTo=”2,3″ errMsgTemplate=” “]

Both free and paid members see this … blah blah

[/DAP]

Font size for errMsgTemplate is really small. Can it be changed? My customers are older ladies and they have a hard time reading small font.

To be clear, in:

[DAP hasAccessTo=”72,74,75,76,77,103,107,112″ errMsgTemplate=”Pour avoir accès aux bonus (incluant le livre Le pain maison qui fait maigrir), vous devez avoir acheté au moins 1 recette dans la bibliothèque.”]

The phrase “Pour avoir accès aux bonus (incluant le livre Le pain maison qui fait maigrir), vous devez avoir acheté au moins 1 recette dans la bibliothèque” shows up really small.
