How to create download pages within DLguard?

Ilya Feynberg · 08-06-2008, 05:30 PM

Hi All!

Does anyone know if there is a tutorial or something along those lines within dlguard on how to create secure download pages for your pdfs? I downloaded and installed dlguard just fine, but I'm a tad bit confused on how to properly get the download pages set up so that I can go ahead and submit everything over to clickbank

Thanks for the help in advance!

Or if Sam wants to chime in here that works too!

Do you know what?

Sam has a great support forum hosted on his own web server. You could always try asking your questions there.

http://www.dlguard.com/forum/

You get a quicker response that way.

Hope that helps.

Kindest regards,

Janet

When you do that, it asks you, among other things, for the URL of Product File - you need to upload your PDF somewhere to your site, then enter the location in that field.

There are also question marks beside each field that you can click & see a lightbox display with info for that field.

Thanks for the response Jeff! I'm going to go play around with it right now, but do I have to create a new page on my site, THEN point dlguard to it? That's how it's supposed to work yes?

Thanks for the quick reply Jeff! I'm going to go play with it now and see if I can get it done just right!

Hi Mike,

It sounds like you may have already got it all sorted out, but basically it's all automatic.

You don't need to create your own download pages, DLGuard does it for you.

All you do is add the URL to your PDF file into your product page, and that's it.

DLGuard will then create a secure download area, and put secure download links on it for you.

Naturally you can also modify this download area if you want, it's all standard HTML.

cheers
Sam

Sam,

I honestly don't know how you do it! You always respond to every post on Dlguard and every PM I always send ya! You're amazing!

Thank you!

Anyway...

I just found the clickbank walk through in my admin area and it looks pretty strait forward, so I'm gonna give it all a try right now

samstephens · 08-06-2008, 09:40 PM

Heh, no worries Mike, I'm glad I could help!

Let me know if you need anything else!

cheers
Sam

Hey guys!

I was able to get it almost right I think.

I have two problems though...

When I go to my thank you page link that I created I get a dlguard icon that reads "Error: Clickbank sales data incomplete"

Then...

I'm having a problem with the actual url where the pdf is hosted. If you go to the url on it's own then the pdf loads and shows up right there as normal. But when it's used in the download page, and someone goes through the order process and then tried to download it, it downloads as an unknown file, at which point to view it as a pdf I have select the pdf option a couple times to load it. Not the ideal way for a customer to get the file (it should just download as a pdf right away).

Whew....

Lot's of issues I know...sorry for that!

Hi Mike,

I don't want to take over the warrior forum with DLGuard support questions, so I'll just give you a quick answer - if you need something more, then feel free to post here:

www.dlguard.com/forum/

...or open a support ticket, and I'll be more than happy to help out!

So just quickly:

1) This is normal: Clickbank sales data incomplete means that you've just gone straight to your Clickbank thankyou page. This is designed to work like this so that people can't bypass your sales process.

You'll need to run a test sale (using the DLGuard sales link) to see it work.

2) Check to make sure you haven't used any spaces in your folder or filename, as well as check to make sure any capitalization is correct.

If you're still having troubles, open a support ticket on my site and send me your DLGuard login details and I'll login and check it out for you!

cheers
Sam

Ilya Feynberg · 08-08-2008, 01:34 AM

You're right Sam about turning the forum into a support forum for this. Sorry bout that!

I'll give it all a go and if it doesn't work than I'll open up a ticket.

Like always Sam...THANK YOU!!

samstephens · 08-08-2008, 02:52 AM

No worries at all, Mike - I don't mind, I just don't want to annoy anyone else on this forum.....such as Allen, for example

Let me know how you go!

cheers
Sam
