DAP users question

by Dietriffic
7 replies
I'm having a bit of a nightmare deciding on a platform for my membership site.

I know all the benefits of DAP, but as far as I know, but there were a couple of things putting me off that caused me to look towards s2member.

However, I'm struggling with s2member.

One particular issuing I'm facing is that I want to have my launch sequence run on a different installation of WordPress than the actual membership site, so that I can run OptimisePress for the launch, and another design for the membership area.

But, some of the membership software can't have the 'buy button' on a different installation, at least, not without some trickery.

Does anyone know if DAP allows this? Can I have a DAP buy button on a different WP installation than the membership installation?

    When you say a DAP buy button what do you mean? DAP is not a sales platform, it only handles the membership part of the process.

    Melanie,

    Yes. DAP allows this.

    With DAP, you can have the buy button, and even the "Free Signup" forms on any web site, different from your main DAP web site.

    Just remember, that regardless of where you have the buy button (or the free signup form), your members will eventually be added to your main DAP-powered site.

    So regardless of where they buy or sign up from, they will have an account on your main DAP site, and that's where they will have to log in to consume the content that they've just purchased or signed-up for. So that's where you have to have all of your member's content.

    So yes, your sales/sign-up pages can be on any domain, not a problem. No trickery required :-). Totally straight-forward.

      Ravi,

      That's an awesome answer. Exactly what I wanted to hear. I ended up going to your pre-sales board to ask 3 questions. This was one of them.

      The others were:

      2. I'm wanting to run BuddyPress and BBPress (not vbulletin). Does DAP naturally integrate into these platforms in WordPress?

      3. The theme I'm using on the main membership site has it's own styled login form. I understand I need to use DAP's login form, not a WP one. Is it easy to integrate DAP's form into the styling of the form in theme I have?

      Thank you.

        >>2. I'm wanting to run BuddyPress and BBPress (not vbulletin). Does DAP naturally integrate into these platforms in WordPress?<<
        Yes, it does. But please note that DAP does not work with WP network sites (MU). And it does not protect BP pages like it can protect WP pages, posts and categories.

        >>3. The theme I'm using on the main membership site has it's own styled login form. I understand I need to use DAP's login form, not a WP one. Is it easy to integrate DAP's form into the styling of the form in theme I have?<<
        Yes. Once you put the DAP shortcodes into your WP blog, it will take on the natural look & feel of your WP blog/theme, and look like a part of your web site.

          I'm not running MU. In fact, I'm only really running BP to get the private mail options for the bbpress forum.

          I don't foresee any real problem not protecting BP pages. Most of them won't be active.

          On the third question, I should have been more clear. I'm using this theme. If you click 'Sign In' on the right of the navigation, a pop up appears. Could that still be used with DAP?

            @Dietriffic: Not sure what kind of sign up form the theme is using by default. Most probably, you won't be able to use that, unless you can replace the native form with the DAP sign up form's HTML code.

            @WillR: No worries - you don't annoy us at all :-) DAP v4.3 beta has been pretty stable so far. Should be labeled "final" in about 7-10 days.
