iPhone / Android / webOS / WP7 / BlackBerry for vB - Tapatalk

[MortysTW]

Any chance this can be used in South-Africa we have 3 mobile phone operators here

This has nothing to do with the carriers.

If your phone is blackberry,droid, iphone, and you have a data plan on your cell phone account that allows you to surf the web and your phone can run any apps, then this will work for you if using tapatalk to view a forum that has the tapatalk plug-in already setup in their vbulletin.

[discoduck]

Works great on my forum

[MuseFS]

It this mod compatible with v 4.1.1?

Thanks

[TeknoSounds]

Yes.

[andreamarucci]

I use Tapatalk from a long time but now me and other forum members that use the commercial iPhone App have the same problem. All the post are showing on the iPhone with a mess of html and BB codes that really make the reading almost impossible as you can see from the attached screen.

126368

I've just reuploaded the latest version of mobiquo on my forum but nothing changed and I've not changed anything on the forum side, at least nothing I think has some impact on that.

I'm using VB 4.0.8pl2

Can you please help me?

[andreamarucci]

Wow! I'm really far from expecting a real time reply but I'm asking myself if there's someone here giving support...

[BirdOPrey5]

You will probably get quicker support on their own forum: http://www.tapatalk.com/

[andreamarucci]

That's what I've done yet but no answer by now, that's the problem...

Hello!

This issue has been addressed at our forum, it was because of one of your third party MOD conflict with it.

[yellowpeter]

This has nothing to do with the carriers.

If your phone is blackberry,droid, iphone, and you have a data plan on your cell phone account that allows you to surf the web and your phone can run any apps, then this will work for you if using tapatalk to view a forum that has the tapatalk plug-in already setup in their vbulletin.

In a way it does depend with carrier, something carrier blocks unknown (or some of the known) user-agent to prevent tethering etc. If you have this issue, try to turn on "SFR Support" to see if it makes any different.

[your24hourstore]

Will this work in 4.1.2 .. also will it play nice with this new mobile style in this version. Has any one had problems ?

It was installed and tapatalk account did see it and said was installed in head include
But had some errors that specified tapatalk as the culprit, so had to uninstall till i figure it out, now im not sure if i installed a lower version as i didn't really notice there is like 3 installs for lower versions, Im going to install again and see if it was my error, actually as i remember i used the download at tapatalk as the files i installed.

so will install the file from here and try one more time

[davidpf13]

How would I install this for a forum that was protected by amember?

[Aaron873]

Something isn't right with Taptalk Forum App via the Andriod Market. It says 2.95 US Dollars and when I get to the Google Checkout page it says 23+ dollars. What the hell is this?

The 23 dollars is the HKD which where our account is resided. It is likely Google Checkout did not covert it to your country currency and hence the confusion. You will only get charged by conversion to your local currency.

[Aaron873]

I hope so. >_> Haha

[poita]

Close to being one of the best things I have installed onto my forum!

Has increased traffic flow on the forum, especially from users who can't access the forum via work internet connections.

Great job guys :) Very happy

[WHM]

Android 2.2.1 and the errors are:
85 in java.io
as well as
unknown error...error code is 2

It works fine on my Iphone

Where are you getting those errors?
What version of the Android app are you using? There were two updates just recently.
Are you using the latest tapatalk version server side? 3.0.1 just came out a few days ago.

Works fine on my site :)

[Qtek]

Its not free anymore, so its wrong to says that.

[Alan_SP]

From their site:

FAQ from Forum Owner:
Q: How much does it cost?

A: As a forum owner you are free to activate Tapatalk in your forum, and you are free to remove/deactivate it anytime you want to.

[TeknoSounds]

Correct, as a forum owner. But I think hes pointing out there is no longer a "Free" version of the app on the Apple Store anymore.
So it'll cost your users to purchase the app unless they use a blackberry.

[Brandon Sheley]

I updated tapatalk on General-Forums (http://general-forums.com) and I can now moderate, thanks!

[romster13]

any possibility of shoutbox integration?

[Alan_SP]

Correct, as a forum owner. But I think hes pointing out there is no longer a "Free" version of the app on the Apple Store anymore.

That is true. But, our is to provide users with ability to use our forums in more ways than just one. If they want to buy it, they'll spend $3 and buy it. If not, we don't loose anything...

[TeknoSounds]

Agreed entirely.
$3 is not much for anyone, seriously.....and on top of that it'll work for ANY forum that has tapatalk installed.

But was just pointing out that the free iphone app is no longer available as that other user mentioned.

Personally, I <3 Tapatalk and I think its well worth it.

[Alan_SP]

Yes, it would be nice that they still offer free versions with some limitations for all mobile platforms. :(

[RustyDogma]

Is not reading BBCode on my forum (at least with the Android app), even with the BBcode setting on. Is this something I'm missing server-side or is it the app?

[8thos]

How do you upgrade? Do you just overwrite the whole folder or delete the old mobiquo and upload the new mobiquo folder?

[TeknoSounds]

Either or. Just grab the newest version from their site. I usually just overwrite it myself.

[yellowpeter]

Either or. Just grab the newest version from their site. I usually just overwrite it myself.

Right on Tekno.. just replace the entire folder is fine. :D

[J-P]

just installed.

I don't have a phone to verify so can someone check www.invertplanet.com/forum/ ?

Thanks in advance :)

[bryanb]

Hi all,

I've followed the instructions to the letter on installing this mod and no joy.

When I go to verify the installation status I get "Not Installed: Server Error(1)"

All files are chmod 755

I've disabled vBseo in case this was the issue.

Any ideas?

[Alan_SP]

For files, it only needs to be 644, 755 is for directories. If you copied files and added JS in headinclude, that should be it. After that, everything should work ok. But, usually there could be problem with FTPing files to the server. Try upload all files again. And put them in forum's root. Also verify where is JS, does it point where you put files in?

[GONUMBER6]

Hi just installed per request of our users and it works great! :up:

One question....How do we add the advertising/banner on it?

[bryanb]

Yep, did everything like you said. Still nothing :(

Guess I'll contact their support unless there is another equivalent plugin for vB 4.x

[lurch_cr]

I think people should be aware that the WinPhone 7 variant of this mod (Board Express) is essentially unsupported it would seem.
The support forum in the Board Express website is essentially dead a dodo.

[bigtree]

I can't seem t publish it. Is there a waiting period?

[bigtree]

got it!

Thanks!

[Jennifer2010]

This app is completely useless - a joke. The whole purpose behind having a "mobile friendly" site is to display your site differently to visitors on mobile browsers.

Where people are getting confused is that none of your initial visitors are actually going to see your mobile friendly site - they're going to see your non-mobile site that doesn't fit well on their browser. Then, they'll be prompted to pay for this guy's app. If you get hundreds or thousands of hits to your site via mobile browsers per day, do you really think they're all going to pay to see your site before they even know what your mobile version looks like - let alone be ready to justify paying to look at a site they're brand new to?

All that happened is they built up a big userbase offering the app for free and then decided to capitalize off that, while ruining the whole point of it in the process. I can understand forum owners paying a license fee to offer an app, but not charging every user to download it.

Uninstalling and rating 1 star.

Useless!

Dear Angry Elf,

First, you don't have to pay for the app to read the forum.

And if you want to show a mobile skin to your mobile devices, thats YOUR job to do it - not this mod. There are plenty of mobile skins and mobile device detection scripts all over the place. Find one, admin.

And finally, paying for the app allows you to post to thousands of forums. I've had plenty of users come BACK when they found we had tapatalk on the forum.

Stop being so angry. Thanks.

[Jennifer2010]

Dear Angry Elf

I'm not an Elf, you dirty fly! (lol)

First, you don't have to pay for the app to read the forum.

I never said or implied you did. What's implied is that if you're downloading this mod you want your visitors to be able to view your site in a mobile version. Why would you want every one of your visitors to pay for the ability to do this? And if this mod isn't about that, what's it about?

"Tapatalk is a vBulletin mod that allows your users to browse your forum using a native mobile application. "
"Only one MOD installation to support all mobile devices including iPhone, Android, WebOS, Windows Phone 7, BlackBerry and Nokia."

And if you want to show a mobile skin to your mobile devices, thats YOUR job to do it - not this mod. There are plenty of mobile skins and mobile device detection scripts all over the place. Find one, admin.

Doesn't that contradict what I just quoted them saying? Lol, why do you think people download this mod? You just proved my point exactly. You download and install this mod, users are prompted to pay to download an app, then they can see a mobile friendly version of your site. So thank you for elaborating and the obvious point I was making - don't use this app - go find a free mobile skin/device detection.

And finally, paying for the app allows you to post to thousands of forums. I've had plenty of users come BACK when they found we had tapatalk on the forum.
Stop being so angry. Thanks.

And finally, my point: people should, can and do post on my site using their mobile device without having to pay to do so :) Plenty of users, eh? Right. I'm sure the hundreds of people who hit my site via mobile devices will flock back to become a regular just because there's an app they can pay for. Right!

Stop being so naive, Thanks!

I really don't think you understand this mod, or we're not communicating properly. As far as I know, no one has to pay anything to view your forum in the Tapatalk mobile app. If you want a mobile theme to show when your mobile users visit the site using a web browser, dartho has put together an awesome one. I suggest you check it out. (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228986)

No one has to pay to see your forum in the Tapatalk app! You only have to pay if you want to post via the app. And really, these Tapatalk guys are developing an app over 7 different mobile platforms. That's pretty impressive. I don't think anyone can argue that they don't deserve to be paid for their work.

And of course your users are also free to post to your site without paying. There are literally TONS of ways to do so. This mod, and its associated app, are only another way for your mobile users to consume what you provide.

I run Tapatalk and also have a mobile theme available. I don't care how my users consume my site, I just want to make it as easy for them as possible. You should try it. You might be surprised on how many of your mobile users already own the Tapatalk app for their platform. I bought it to use on my forum, and now use it on several others...

Now go have a nice weekend or something. Sheesh!

[0verl0rd]

Hi,

It looks like it asks for users to buy an app for $1.99 ?

[Jennifer2010]

@Fly,

I understand what the app is completely. I cited exactly how they described it as well as my own description. I understand completely that they don't have to pay for the app to see my site. What I'm telling you that you're not understanding is that unless you have a mobile theme for your site, users are not going to see your mobile site until they buy the Tapatalk app. Is this that hard to understand? It's completely obvious that people are installing this mod thinking they're making their site mobile friendly when in actuality it's only going to be mobile friendly once a user pays for the app. What if your site isn't displayed correctly on mobile browsers? Who would pay to find out whether or not they are even interested in your site? Do you see what I'm getting at here? And before you tell me it's not their job to do this and it's my job to find a mobile style, please re-read the upper half of this paragraph again before you make yourself sound stupid. (And in case you don't know what this means, it means a mobile style renders this useless app... useless)

The way they describe this mod is suspiciously vague in relation to what it actually does. I'm glad to know that you have a mobile theme for your site in addition to Tapatalk. It renders the app useless to non Taptalk users as they can see your site's mobile version already and apparently do all of the same things that the Taptalk app can do - unless I'm missing something here.

Thanks to Overlord (SC2 Fan?) for proving my point further:

Hi,

It looks like it asks for users to buy an app for $1.99 ?

And you wonder how many people that install this mod actually know that. I wonder why Taptalk hasn't updated this stating it's not free anymore. Hmmmm:erm:

Put two and two together buddy.

[Eq4bits]

Good Lord, why is every one getting their panties in such a twist? If someone wants to install this app, please let them without berating them. I *don't* have a mobile style on my forum and tapatalk works just fine. I *LIKE* the tapatalk app for my forum, as do the members that use it. Those that want it pay for it, those that don't get to use their phone's web browser. The mod is free so why are people complaining? They could work it the other way around and seel the mod for big bucks.

What's the big deal? Oh, I know what it is. It's the fact that reading comprehension is so close to nil these days that folks don't understand *what* they read in previous posts....

[Jennifer2010]

Reading comprehension is obviously close to nil as I was never berating anyone for installing this mod. Why don't you read what I had said and see that "Fly" was the one who called me out for having an opinion.

This mod is unbelievably vague in what it actually does and the statement that it's free is false. It's not free and it does not make your site supported for mobile devices. Oh wait, it does, but only when people pay for it.

Those that want it pay for it, those that don't get to use their phone's web browser.

I'm glad to know that you require your visitors to pay to see/use your site like a mobile device should.

The obvious alternative is to make your site mobile friendly for every single visitor, for free. Is this really that hard to understand? There is no obvious advantage for anyone to install this app other than you're listed in their directory. Install your own mobile styling and this app is completely useless to anyone who visits your site. Who would buy Tapatalk if your site is already built for their device?

I have a good friend who develops apps. I rather pay him $ to make me a free app for my customers instead of making people pay. I have far too many users to expect them to pay for this let alone do I think it's okay that TapaTalk make that much money off of them. It's too greedy IMO. Let the forum owners pay a license fee, not the customers. DUH.

[fly]

It's not free and it does not make your site supported for mobile devices.

Wrong.

The app costs $1.99 for your users. It only makes your site mobile friendly once someone pays for it. Don't act so condescending, it's pretty pathetic.

Oh really? That's funny. When I visit my site on an iPhone it prompts me to pay for and download an app. It displays my site in a non-mobile version. Hm..... Hm.....

lol, seriously, grow up.

There are two versions of the app. The FREE one that allows one to read your forum (and thousands of others). There is also a PAID version of the app, that allows you to post to your forum (and thousands of others).

Oh really? That's funny. When I visit my site on an iPhone it prompts me to pay for and download an app.

If you don't like that prompt, remove it. It doesn't HAVE to be there. That's why you're an admin.

What does this mean to you?

"Tapatalk is a vBulletin mod that allows your users to browse your forum using a native mobile application."

That doesn't mean it will magically change the web browsing experience for your mobile users. It will change their experience when you use the free or paid version of their native mobile application.

Thanks for keeping this up. This is fun. :D

[Jennifer2010]

There are two versions of the app. The FREE one that allows one to read your forum (and thousands of others). There is also a PAID version of the app, that allows you to post to your forum (and thousands of others).

Sorry, there is no free version. There's no free version in the app store, and there's no free version listed on their site. Show me the free version if it exists, because as of now there isn't one available on their site, the app store, or when my users visit the site. Back up your argument with proof, please.


If you don't like that prompt, remove it. It doesn't HAVE to be there. That's why you're an admin.

Oh really? How do I do that? Where exactly would I go about removing the prompt? No where in the Tapatalk panel can I remove it. There's not even a settings section in vBulletin? Do you expect me to go digging into the code? What about their license agreement? "Modifications to the Software are prohibited.". Please, enlighten me with your knowledge of how to do this. I'd love to know.

What does this mean to you?

There is no free version of the app. And my point exactly - their experience is changed after a user pays for an app. You can provide your users with the exact same functionality that Tapatalk does for free without them having to download an app, let alone pay for anything. So, what does that mean to me? Well, what does this mean to you?

"Step 6

Download the free Tapatalk iPhone app from the app store
(http://itunes.com/app/tapatalkro) to confirm it is indeed working."

"Your request could not be completed.
The item you've requested is not currently available in the US store". HM... What does that mean to you? Maybe you installed this mod when it was free for your users.

Straight from the Tapatalk website:

Q: What's the point of this app if my members can access my site with mobile skin or Safari at no cost?

A: We received a lot of feedback from users that they want a dedicated app on their smartphone. Most users are contented (content?) with the mobile skin or a standard web browser but some of them would appreciate a full-on native app on their phone. For example Tapatalk app allows user to upload photo directly from their phone to your forum as an image attachment."

That's the ONLY example they give. "upload from their phone". Ugh, are they blind to the fact that anyone can still upload a photo? They don't need to download an app to do that. They have no feature list. Why wouldn't they have a feature list?

In a nutshell, all this app does is provide a mobile style on the back end that's consistent through out each forum they visit. It doesn't offer any functionality unless your website doesn't have a mobile style. Any smart site owner would have a mobile style for their mobile users. And if you have a mobile style, you don't need this app. You can do everything this app does without having your users pay for it. It's greedy. Shady at best. That's like FireFox or Chrome charging to use their browser, and only websites that have the FireFox or Chrome mod can be accessed. People are caught up on the idea that an "app" is some how magically superior when it's doing the exact same thing that a mobile style would.

This is fun :) Try not to use any common sense or logical reasoning when responding - it might hurt your brain!

[greenchicken]

This app allows users to turn off the mobile ads ... Can't pay the bills like that, sorry.

It's been nothing but positive for me. Even tho I have a mobile theme installed, most people seem to appreciate the usability of this app.

[BirdOPrey5]

Actually while I agree Tapatalk is overall a positive experience (I have this and forum runner installed and people tend to prefer tapatalk 5 to 1) they have made some decisions I don't agree with but their loyalty is to the consumer buying the app, not the forum admin since we don't pay anything (for the non-branded app)

While as an admin you can set up advertising, in the tapatalk client settings users can still turn it off. So if any of your users look at the settings they probably turned it off.

Next, they did discontinue the free app- you have to buy the app to use it all all- no more free read-only access.

That's actually OK with me- I want tapatalk users to contribute by posting- giving people free read-only access is counter-intuitive to growing a forum IMO.

So yes Tapatalk isn't perfect, but it's better than a mobile style IMO- much better.

vBulletin has an "Official Mobile Style" built in now

http://youtu.be/D45CHqjxQzU

There is 0 difference in functionality between a mobile style like this and Tapatalk. Call Tapatalk an app, sure, all it is is a browser unique to forums who have it installed. The difference being a mobile skin is displayed to every single visitor who visits, for free, without having to pay or download anything.

[Jennifer2010]

Ah, here we go!

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/content.php/518-vBulletin-Mobile-Suite-FAQ

This is exactly what I've been preaching the ENTIRE time. The vBulletin people are not stupid, thank God. Anyone who gets a decent amount of mobile traffic would be nuts to think that offering a paid app is good business. It's completely the opposite. The only time it would be good business is if YOU were the one capitalizing from app sales - not some cheesy app company.

Will my site's users have to pay to download the app?
You are welcome to charge for the application to your end users if you so desire, or offer it for free - the choice is yours!

This blows Tapatalk completely out of the water. Ah, such a nice thing to discover. Now I don't have to pay an app developer! W00t!

[AndrewRich]

We have installed Tapatalk and are pretty happy with it (along with the existing vB4 native mobile theme... it's all about options). However, unlike the native mobile theme, Tapatalk does not seem to respect the user choice made with the "Exclude Forums from What's New (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=256264)" mod. Which is to say, if I've selected one or more forums to exclude from a "What's New" search, they are excluded in the native mobile theme but they are NOT excluded in Tapatalk. This is a pretty big sticking point for us. Any ideas?

Note that this is in reference to arbitrary user-selected forums to exclude. It is not in reference to administrator-selected forums to always exclude from Tapatalk.

[basilrath]

I have used TTalk for a while on our site

Is the VB native customisable as in logo or is it simply a "theme" as mobile theme etc because if so i have tried both and like TTalk

Im curious as to the comparissons and peoples user experiences

Except it only works for vBulletin forums. If you have vBulletin forum goers with a smartphone, chances are that a good portion of them already own Tapatalk for other forums.

edit: But in truth, you should install them ALL. Its never a good idea to inhibit your users.

There is actually a ton of difference as far as usability. You wouldn't know, because you haven't bought the app, so you really cant jump to these conclusions.

If you're going to call me out for jumping to conclusions then rebuttal what I said with evidence. If there's a ton of differences as far as usability, what are they? You would think Tapatalk would state these vast differences somewhere
(eg. their website or app store). Unfortunately the only feature list I've been able to dig up is on the app store which goes through a short list of very basic features such as the app supports image uploading, private messaging, etc. All of my users can do that already - they don't need an app to do it. What can a user do with Tapatalk that they can't do with my site already?

Except it only works for vBulletin forums. If you have vBulletin forum goers with a smartphone, chances are that a good portion of them already own Tapatalk for other forums.

I get 500+ mobile hits to my site per day. Less than 1% of them have Tapatalk. With the vBulletin app, the app is FREE to your users and BRANDED with your name. I've kept Tapatalk installed and removed the prompt simply because I do occasionally see Tapatalk users hit my site and become members - which as of now is the only advantage I see of keeping it installed.


edit: But in truth, you should install them ALL. Its never a good idea to inhibit your users.

So I think in a nutshell this would conclude that:

1. You should have a mobile theme/style on your site
2. Tapatalk is only useful for their database (Yep, you agreed, :p)
3. The custom vBulletin app to give or sell to your users for free is the way to go...

I mean, if a non tapatalk user came to your site - what would you want them to have? $2.99 tapatalk app or your own custom app for free :P

We can argue about this forever, if you want. Yes, they all function the same. Duh. But I, and obviously many others, prefer the FORM of the Tapatalk app. Use which ever one is easier for you.

2. I never agreed to that. How big was the bus you rode to school?
3. Yes. Along with tapatalk and a mobile theme, etc.

And its not about what I want my users to have. Its about what's most convenient for them. If they would rather use Tapatalk then install 6 different apps to read 6 different forums, then thats what I want them to do.

Ok so you call me out for jumping to conclusions, then I ask you to provide me with details and all you have to say is "They all function the same. Duh"? That pretty much says it all.

Thank you? Although, you weren't doing it out of the kindness of your heart. More of a poor attempt to try and prove me wrong. That was so sweet of you.

I was joking (obviously)

And its not about what I want my users to have. Its about what's most convenient for them. If they would rather use Tapatalk then install 6 different apps to read 6 different forums, then thats what I want them to do.

If you consider selling a $2.99 Tapatalk app to your users "convenient" then good for you. Unless Tapatalk somehow defies marketing principles, a very small minute portion of your mobile visitors will actually buy the app. It would be absurd to think otherwise.

The only reason this app ever got to where it is today is because at one point it was completely free and had more of a purpose. They piggy backed off that and launched it to paid. This would have never taken off if it had started out that way. Their leverage for both selling the app to users and the idea to forum owners is "10,000 + forums supported!" Why don't you think they haven't updated this thread to reflect the cost of the app to your visitors?

There's a big DUH for you. How big was YOUR school bus?

[BirdOPrey5]

Jennifer2010, if you never used the paid Tapatalk app you really shouldn't try to compare it to a mobile style. I have used both and there is NO comparison IMO, a dedicate app is far superior to a mobile style in usability. It's not something I'm going to try to explain point by point- If you're an admin then spend the $2.99 or whatever is ($1.99 maybe?) on Tapatalk and see for yourself. Consider it an investment.

Now for some more bad news, I fear you are confusing the free vBulletin Mobile Style with the paid vBulletin Mobile App. The mobile style is free, it's quite nice but still it's just a style. It doesn't have the feel of a dedicated app, and you need to use your device's web browser to use it.

The vBulletin Mobile App however is a real competitor to Tapatalk. However it's not free- you (the admin) must pay $99 upfront and then $99 a year to renew the app. You MUST ALSO pay for an Apple Developer account, another $99 a year... ALSO a Google Andoid Developer account. You ALSO need an apple mac computer to compile the app and publish it, it can't be done with a PC or Linux box. I guess you can compile the Google app on any machine. But yeah, you're going to need to compile it yourself so I hope you know what you are doing. ALSO there's no guarantees those fees don't go up in the future.

And one more issue with the vBulletin Mobile App, it is ONLY for Android and iPhone... No support for Blackerry, WebOS, or any other device. Blackberry still has a huge marketshare in the mobile world.

So consider those things too.

Yes, I do know that you have to pay for the vBulletin Mobile Suite (as I had stated) and am well aware of the difference between what an app does and what a mobile style does (as I stated).

I have a Macbook Pro so no worries on that, although I find it a weird requirement.

I agree it would be nice to see the vBulletin app on other devices and I believe in the mobile suite FAQ they're already talking about doing that.

[TeknoSounds]

So I hope your donations can cover the $200/yr for the lesser mobile suite...vs just your few people who are doing the 500 hits paying the $2 to buy an app on their smartphone (which they probably already have bought tons of apps like angry birds and such, is $2 REALLY that much?)

Tapatalk ftw.

Tapatalk ftw.

My sites don't run off of donations. Advertisements, affiliate links, paid memberships to name a few. If you don't make a monetary gain off of your site and could care less whether or not you get return visitors, then sure, install Tapatalk. Altough, if people are going to pay $2.99 for a Tapatalk app, why not charge them $2.99 for your own app? Assuming your site would be considered an "Authority" in whatever market you're in and would deserve it's own app. You could charge a dollar for it and you'd need a whopping 200 sales through out the entire year to make up the cost. You could do the same scenario with mobile ads and affiliate offers.

There's a huge difference between free and not free. Read "Predictably Irrational" by Dan Ariely. My goal with my visitors is to make monetary gain off of them and have loyal, repeat users. You're cutting yourself way too short if you think Taptalk will accomplish that for you in comparison to your own free app. And my argument from before was how many people install this app thinking it's free to their users?

No one backing up Tapatalk wants to address that issue. If it's not free for your users, don't say it is. It's false advertising. At the end of the day, Tapatalk is piggy backing off of our efforts - indefinitely - as long as you have their mod installed. (I removed the prompt, though).

You can't argue the comparison between offering Tapatalk and offering your own app. It's apples and oranges. One will grow your business and the other grows theirs. I kept Tapatalk installed for the simple reason I want to keep it there for the people who already have it. No one here is going to make more money selling Tapatalk to their users. And if they did, they'd make a substantial amount more offering their own free app as 100% of every user who wants the app could have it for free, compared to paying for it.

[Jennifer2010]

I'm done arguing and unsubscribing from this thread. Anyone who has a financial stake in their forums would do the smart thing: test. If you don't believe me, test it. Don't think Tapatalk is some how going to benefit you or your users - TEST IT. Don't listen to me or anyone else - look at what the data says. I guarantee you 100% it will coincide with exactly what I've been preaching this entire time.

If you don't have a financial stake in your forums, get your own app (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php/377774-vBulletin-Mobile-Suite) and charge for it. See how much money you're throwing away to Tapatalk.

I really liked this mod but had to uninstall it because it was allowing users to circumvent restrictions.

It seems the way tapatalk allows posts isn't the same way it works when you go through a browser and click reply. If I had an account restricted from posting (not banned, just restricted like X rep points necessary to post), in a browser it would show an error not allowing the post to go up but with tapatalk it would go through anyway.

[Indy CTS-V]

Tapatalks site appears to be down. Cant get the thing to publish to save my life....

I hate aps that waste unneeded time like this. I spent all morning on something that should have taken five minutes...lol....only to FINALLY have them toss a server busy or unavailable message when you hit for forum owners link. Geez.

Hope its not this problematic after I get it up and running.

It sound like you use some mod for this?

I think that TapaTalk ignores many (if not all) mods. If you did this through usergroups and made your promotion system to automatically promote users to more advanced usergroups I think TapaTalk should work just fine.

Firstly the app is the best for forums and is updated regularly with other features so how would you suggest this type of thing is funded? Or do you expect the whole thing to be free forever?

Im guessing you have:

Not paid for the software
Not paid for the app

Uninstalled the tapatalk

you have lost nothing other than a good app that my forum is constantly used to browse as it is very quick and effective.

Yes it was down earlier when I tried, remembered they had a twitter account and they had posted that their server was down for several hours. Nice to see they are back up and running!

[flirtsnfriends]

Okay..I have a question. I have been trying to get this to work on my forum for the past hour. I am not sure if I am uploading in the right place on my server. I'm a newbie so be nice, please? Do I upload it in public_html or forum. I feel so stupid!! Thanks to anyone that can help me.

[basilrath]

Ok follow this

The mobiquo folder needs to sit within the forum structure like this

http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/mobiquo/

make sure you have this set up on your tapatalk members area also for this work corectly!

the rest if you have paths ok should be straight forward

[flirtsnfriends]

Can someone give me an example of the path?

public_html/forum.........

[flirtsnfriends]

Hmmm..just saw your post basil, I think, I am uploading it right but I just uninstalled and will start all over again. I'm just a little confused where exactly to upload in my server as I am new to the server that I'm with and learning my way around. I LOVE this app and sooo want to get it added to my forum.

[CAG CheechDogg]

flirtsnfriends, just make sure it goes in the main forum directory, if you have it named forum it goes in there and it should sit between your misc and modcp folders.

Example of the path would be:

/public_html/community/mobiquo

instead of naming my forums directory "forum" i named it community, if you named yours "forum" it will go in there.

[RichieBoy67]

This used to work for me but now I am seeing no posts or forums when going through tapatalk. On the tapatalk site though it shows up fine.

I do have vbseo installed if that matters..not sure why else this would be happeneing. I have tried reuploading the latest files, I reinstalled the plug in, changed permissions.. The other thing I can think of is a mod conflict unless I am missing something.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Richie

[datoneer]

Works perfect!

[BadgerDog]

It's a nice add-on for mobile users, but for anyone using this mod, or considering it, there's a bug in how it handles the WOL function in VB4.

The WOL display shows "via Tapatalk" for users logged in using this add-on, but unfortunately when they log out (or session times out), the entry it never gets cleared from the current WOL display. :erm:

We couldn't figure out why we were still seeing entries in the current WOL display going back for days, when the user wasn't on-line. Finally we discovered it's ONLY users who employ this add-on for VB4.

Needs to be addressed as it screws up other members who keep thinking their friends are on-line when they're not. ;)

Regards,
Doug

[RichieBoy67]

What is your session time set at? have you tried lowering it?

BTW-It seems to be working now but I see no who's online feature at all..

[BadgerDog]

vBulletin 30 minute session timeout is set and Tapatalk users are stuck on the WOL display for days ... ;)

For some reason, only Tapatalk users are not being logged out... everyone else is fine...

My users also report this. I have TapaTalk v4.2.1.

EDIT:
Here is solution for my problems, it's conflict with VaultWiki: http://support.tapatalk.com/threads/4-1-0-server-error.11732/

[Ary Braga]

Why the latest version is 4.2.1 an here is 3.9.2????

[BadgerDog]

I would avoid using this app with vBulletin, at least until they address some lingering faulty session connection issues with WOL listing (and Tapatalk spamming), which we've been waiting for a fix for over two months. ;)

They claimed it would be addressed by the end of Novemember, but so far ... nothing...

Why not simply do it as normal through your cp then they wont reflect within the tapatalk interface?

I have a staff room which is only visible for the obvious staff usergroup hence does not reflect within Tapatalk

My forum members can no longer view attachments, they need to download them individually to view anything.

I seen on the TapaTalk forum this was a know bug back in November but they hadn't released a fix for this. Has any progress been made in the 2 months? Have we now got a fix?

Otherwise the app is working fine for me.

its working on vbulletin 4.2 version?

Anything we can do about the lack of custom smileys/emoticons?

I've also just noticed that users can register on my forum via the app and completely sidestep the agreement and age restrictions.

How do I allow registrations via the app and prevent the above?

EDIT: On tapatalk 4, even with "in app registrations disabled" users can still join with their tapatalk ID.... Thus sidestepping my age restrictions and terms!!!

This is pretty important!

[ForceHSS]

Lastest update with xml

[BadgerDog]

Be careful using this product for vBulletin ... ;)

It has several compatibility issues with vBulletin and your users should be made aware of them before you install this and make it available to your site users..

For example, vBulletin CMS pages (ie: http://www.xxxx.com/content.php?) are not supported at all and worse than that, any reference in your regular forums to a link there, ends up displaying some other random linked thread within your database. Really bizarre .. :D

It has promise, but I think they've tried to make a lot of money quickly by trying to support too many platforms at once. When it originally came out for vBulletin, it had less bugs than it does today.

Regards,
Doug

[ForceHSS]

The new one i posted about works without any problems. I would not use the one in the ops post also I would fully delete all old files and put the one i posted in place

[BadgerDog]

Are you saying that Tapatalk publishes multiple versions with the same rev number? :confused:

v4.7.1 which is what I'm running has corrupted link issues when redirecting to vBulletin CMS pages. Or, are you saying your version 4.7.1 uploaded here fixes their 4.7.1 released version?

Regards,
Doug

[ForceHSS]

I installed it for someone that does not have cms so cant comment on that problem if there is one. If you are not using the latest then all i can say is download the one above and try it but you would be best to delete all files you had before and install a fresh one

[BadgerDog]

Tapatalk support acknowledges the issue with CMS and corrupt incorrect linking ..

Folks..... be very careful with this product... :down:

For weeks I've been trying to figure out how all these spammers and weird posters were getting through to our site...

Tapatalk let's people simply register and circumvent the entire vBulletin web site registration process. They just need a name, email address and password.. no other information required at all ...

Even after threads of complaints, Tapatalk have done nothing to fix this glaring security issue, except offer the vBulletin site owner a PAID version which has the ability to turn OFF registrations when using the paid version of Tapatalk, which is not available in the FREE version.

Quite simply, you have to pay "blackmail" money to change to their BYO version, in order to get a simple switch to stop hackers and spammers from registering directly using Tapatalk, circumventing all of the safety measures that have to be gone through when they do this through our web site. :erm:

In response to complaints, Tapatalk support is now claiming they use a spam detection method, which is nonsense as it hasn't done anything to stop spammers from accessing a lot of vBulletin sites offering support for their product.

We've sent out a posting to all our Tapatalk users to start searching for an alternative app ...

Doug

I use tapatalk on our forums and I have never had a problem with spammers using tapatalk to get through. You can remove the registration option from the settings under Settings > Options > Tapatalk Options > Register page url and leave it blank or put in another non-existent page ...

For you to come on here and blast a great App that many people use without problems is pretty immature of you. Tapatalk has done nothing about this because there is nothing "to do".

What you should of done is asked if people where having problems with Tapatalk in regards to spammers and registration issues like you are on your site. There is an easy fix on your side which I just posted and I believe you owe these guys an apology for coming on here and saying that they are blackmailing people to turn this off ...

Spam will happen on any site if you don't stay on top of it, there are many ways people can combat spamming and it is ultimately each forum's owner and or staff to do their job to prevent it and or completely eliminate it.

Like I said, I have almost zero problems/issues with spam on our forums, they are one of the most active in the gaming genre and none of the spam is coming through this App. In fact, I have had zero spammer accounts come in through the Tapatalk app since installing it. ....

The fix they provided (and others), doesn't work.... ;)

https://support.tapatalk.com/threads/block-tapatalk-registrations.20426/

.. and, why would it be necessary to start patching code that simply needs to have a switch added (like Forum Runner and other products have ...), to simply require vBulletin registrants to use the vBulletin proper registration system?

Anyway, your situation is unique and not indicative of what a lot of vBulletin sites have experienced with this security flaw...

To Tapatalk's credit, they have indicated they're going to address the issue in a future version, but that statement has been going on for about 6 months now. :D

Regards,
Doug

ps: no apology owed... I made the same comments in their support forum and if there's an apology owed, it should come from Tapatalk permitting this back-door to registrations to be left open with so minimal requirements in order to be able to post to any vBulletin site offering support for their add-on product. ;)

Doesn't it seem odd to anyone that they offer that switch, but only if you PAY a monthly fee to use their product?

[CAG CheechDogg]

Again, it is up to you to make sure that any app you install in your forums is safe and or you take any extra measures to stop spam.

I have installed Tapatalk on several forums which I have set up for friends and family and none of them have this problem. You can't expect an app that is free to do everything for you.

You say this is a security flaw, but any forum or site can experience huge amounts of spam accounts without having this app installed, but how is that a security flaw? What is it putting at risk that forums or sites that don't have this app installed isn't?

The problem is not a security flaw but a spam issue, two very different things ...

Look my friend.. ;)

You can be a Tapatalk booster all you want, but we are also entitled to our opinion... :)

With all of the vBulletin add-on measures we've installed, we've had virtually no spam for many many years, because registrants have to go through vBulletin process...

It was only after installing Tapatalk, did we start to see spammers using Tapatalk's weak registration system (except of course if you pay the monthly fee), start posting spam again to our site. We know it's from Tapatalk's registration process circumventing around vBulletin's, because every spammer who does this ends up with the phrase Using Tapatalk added to their signature field. :eek: Nothing like building in free advertising for their product without telling either the web site admin or the user signing up. :D

Pretty funny in a bizarre sort of way .. :D

Anyway, enough said and my point here was to warn vBulletin admins that when they install this product (unless they use the paid version), they are automatically agreeing to let Tapatalk permit registrations outside of their current VBulletin installed method.

We raise it here, because Tapalk does not mention that fact when you install it or in their documentation... perhaps they should?

Thanks for your feedback and counterpoint ... :up:

Regards,
Doug

[CAG CheechDogg]

Lol, I am not being a tapatalk booster "My friend", I haven't had any problems with the app and you have ...tough luck right? Ultimately it comes down to how much time you spend to make sure these things don't happen.

Too me it seems like you don't like to take those extra steps to make sure things run how you want them to, instead you want everything to be free.

I am sure others will be grateful that you came on here to "warn" them about this "security flaw", but again, you still did not explain how this is a "security flaw" other than it allowing the registration without other required fields that you may have.

And in your initial post you never said regarding this "
Anyway, enough said and my point here was to warn vBulletin admins that when they install this product (unless they use the paid version), they are automatically agreeing to let Tapatalk permit registrations outside of their current VBulletin installed method."

You just simply make it look like tapatalk doesn't care, that the app is a security flaw and they are blackmailing people into paying for the BYO version which is completely false. Yes my situation might be different but that is because I take those extra measures to ensure that my site is free of spam and registration is done correctly if i install and app that allows their registration process to have an effect on my forums.

[BadgerDog]

Really? :D

1. Tapatalk permits completely unencumbered registration to any site that adds it and opens up their access to the forums. Tapatalk's registration process circumvents around vBulletin's, and anyone using it to register in this manner ends up automatically with the phrase Using Tapatalk added to their signature field. That's how we've been finding and banning spammers. ;)

2. Our site, using vBulletin's native built-in registration process uses vBulletin's inherent banning methods, add-ons such as IP and country banning, plus add-ons like Akismet, Glow Host Spam-o-Matic, StopForumSpam database, SpamBot Stopper, etc etc... Spamming is virtually extinct using this method of registering.

3. Tapatalk's registration processes uses none of those methods. Their software simply takes their name, email address and password desired, then pushes them into a vBulletin site so they can start posting. No other fields and no other checking. Heck, we require Location to be mandatory on registration through vBulletin. Tapatalk simply ignores that requirement so we also end up with registered users who that field is empty. The good news is that it's another way we can "search" in AdminCP and locate these back door sign ups. :D

It's simple and I find it odd you seem to take exception that we (and lot of other sites) are requesting the same switch they have in the paid monthly version, or minimally, if that don't want to do that, Tapatalk should advise any admin who's thinking about adding Tapatalk to their vBulletin site that this is how the free software operates, unless they subscribe to the paid monthly version. It has the switch built in that lets the admins turn OFF Tapatalk direct registrations. By the way, we are providing Tapatalk free access to potentially 25,000+ users who may buy their tablet/phone client through the iTunes ($5/copy for HD version) or Android store, so I don't think it's an unreasonable quid-pro-quo request that they simply let vBulletin admins block direct registrations to protect our sites.

If anyone takes the time to read the Tapatalk forum link I posted earlier, you'll see that this is not just a case of our site taking issue with this security flaw, but it's many sites.

Thanks CAG CheechDogg, for the interactive banter. I'm sure it's helped get enough attention in this thread, so that any potential vBulletin admins who might think about adding this mod and just skimmed the comments, will now take the time to query Tapatalk support about this issue and perhaps follow the thread dialog in their support forums, as to when this will be plugged in the free version, as in their paid version.

Regards,
Doug

ps: I have no interest in getting into a "my dog's bigger then your dog" pi$$ng match. We are not newbies to Tapatalk. We've been using it since the day it was released and I think we're now into 4 1/2 years of supporting it from our site for our members.

The issue isn't about its functionality for mobile devices, it's about it's back door registration code. That never existed for the longest time, as they were only interested in being a forum reading and posting adjunct for vBulletin, and now other products as well.

The issue we (and other vBulletin sites) started to experience occurred when Tapatalk expanded their code into permitting direct registrations through their code to vBulletin sites, circumventing vBulletin native code.

[CAG CheechDogg]

I fully understand what your concerned is Badge and I did take the time to read that thread and saw your comments there as well. But for you to come on here just completely blasting them was really not necessary.

Like I said, you could of just said, "hey if you guys use this app, please be aware of this bug with the registration process" then explained what is going on, posted a link to that thread and thats it.

But you decided to say that they are forcing people to play "blackmail" money ..lol..come on man.

I haven't had "one" single spam account through tapatalk because I took the time myself to make sure that it doesn't happen. If I was able to do that, why can't you or others?, that is my question.

It is a free version you are using and you have to understand and realize and also accept the fact that you are "probably" going to get something you don't like or something is going to not work how you would want it to.

Like I said, I am sure others will appreciate the fact you brought this up here on vb.org but the way you did it was just not cool.

Have a good one.

[BadgerDog]

Like I said, you could of just said, "hey if you guys use this app, please be aware of this bug with the registration process" then explained what is going on, posted a link to that thread and thats it.


Well, if it had only been 6 weeks since they've been made aware of it, I would agree, but it's been over 6 months and they've done nothing to address the issue, except to recommend site owners buy their paid monthly subscription version, which of course has this simple OFF switch built in. Doesn't that sound strange?

During the intervening 6 months, they've release no less than 4 updated versions, after having been made aware of the seriousness of this problem to vBulletin sites. I don't know what else to call that behaviour, other than "revenue blackmail". Other vBulletin admins posting were perhaps more polite and said that Tapatalk should be ashamed of themselves for not dealing with this simple exploit. Perhaps I was more outspoken, but if it walks like a duck, well... you know the rest of the phrase .. :D

To be honest, I'm less concerned by spammers exploiting their wide open "back door" registration process, as I am about a hacker getting registered easily this way.

They've once again promised a fix in the next release, which we've all heard several times before... for months and months and months ... :erm:

So, let's wait and see. If they fix it, I'll be the first here to say to members, now it's safe to install and it will follow your secure vBulletin registration rules and process.

I do recognize and appreciate you're happy (and secure) letting your members use their direct un-moderated registration process for your forums, but there are a lot of other vBulletin sites who are not, so, let each one decide themselves after reading the facts presented ...

At least now, they've heard both sides of the story ...

Regards,
Doug

[CAG CheechDogg]

Doug,

I hope you don't mind calling you Doug lol..

No I honestly understand your concern Doug, but what I don't see is how this is a real security threat, you still have not explained to me why you feel that it's a security threat, you don't need to be registered on any site or forum if their intentions are to hack you. If someone wants to hack you they will do it.

One more thing, I personally believe that all of you guys who use these mods to combat spammers are actually inviting them to keep trying it by using them on your forums and sites. I don't use one single mod like Akismet, Glow Host Spam-o-Matic, StopForumSpam database, SpamBot Stopper, because when i did use a couple on that list I noticed even more spam attacks that before I used them.

Again, it takes a lot of hard work to run a website especially a forum and the use of these addons to combat spamm is like telling a kid they can't do something and they go ahead and do it just because you are telling them they can't.

And on our forums I don't have "un-moderated" registration like you say I do. Not one single registration has come from tapatalk ....

you follow this instructions?

source: http://tapatalk.com/activate_tapatalk.php?plugin=vbulletin

Install

1. Download the zip package of Tapatalk Plugin for vBulletin to your computer.

2. Unzip the package. You should see a folder named 'mobiquo'.

3. Upload the entire 'mobiquo' folder and only this folder to your forum system root directory. For example, if your forum URL is http://www.mysite.com/forum, it should be placed at http://www.mysite.com/forum/mobiquo/.

4. Login to Administration Control Panel, go to 'Plugin & Products' -> 'Manage Products'.

5. Choose 'Import the XML file from your server', enter './mobiquo/product-tapatalk.xml', click the "Import" button.

Update Tapatalk Plugin

1. Login to Administration Control Panel, go to 'Plugin & Products' -> 'Manage Products'

2. Find out 'Tapatalk' product, click drop-down menu on the right hand side, select 'Uninstall'.

3. In Deletion Confirm window, click 'Yes'

4. Delete "mobiquo" folder from the root path of your forum.

5. Redo the Installation steps. (Make sure plugin folder 'mobiquo' was replaced with the new one, and product xml file was imported.)

Uninstall Tapatalk

1. Login to Administration Control Panel, go to 'Plugin & Products' -> 'Manage Products'.

2. Find out 'Tapatalk' product, click drop-down menu on the right hand side, select 'Uninstall'.

3. In Deletion Confirm window, click 'Yes'

4. Delete "mobiquo" folder from the root path of your forum.

[Eq4bits]

Yes I followed the instructions just like I have through each and every update.
My 'forum root' IS http://xxxxxxx.com/xxx/forum (as it is on a SUBdomain of my site) so my structure is http://xxxxxxx.com/xxx/forum/mobiquo . I've had it installed like this for at least two years and never had a problem prior to this upgrade. It works fine on the 'ipad/iphone' user end, it just screwed up my web version.

[ikorolis]

you have try to uninstall (complete) tapatalk

and install again?

i check .xml file to upload other friend (tapatalk support forum) and find all commands search this path .../mobiquo/ or MOBIQUO_PATH you have check ADMIN CP => SETTINGS => OPTIONS => TAPATALK

Tapatalk Plugin Directory
Advanced Use Only. Change it only if you did rename the Tapatalk plugin directory. And the default value is 'mobiquo'. If you have installed Tapatalk plugin in different directory, you will also need to apply the same settings in Tapatalk Forum Owner Area at http://tapatalk.com/forum_owner.php

in my case and works fine all plug ins

install whole VB package to root /public_html/ or /www/ and not have any problem.

[Eq4bits]

so I gave up. totally uninstalled and reinstalled. guess it's like my phone and ipad and computers: reboot cures all.

We were recently made aware of a security issue with the plugin used on vBulletin 4 forums. We have released an updated version of the plugin which fixes this security problem but also addresses a couple of other issues. We recommend that all vBulletin 4 forums update the plugin to version 5.2.2 as a matter of urgency.
The following fixes are included:

Fixed the Thanks / Likes features that were not working.
Fixed SQL injection issue.
User profiles now show Infractions.
Removed the option to restrict specific usergroups from logging in via the Tapatalk app. This brings Tapatalk in line with normal browser behavior. Where can I get the update?
You can download the update at our plugin page by clicking the link below and downloading the Tapatalk Plugin for vBulletin 4 version 5.2.2.

How do I update the Tapatalk Plugin?
Redo the Installation steps (https://sendy.tapatalk.com/l/HXeYgT076319rq3lr4WL7636gg/Wkg85t973Ne4IUPvC8Nqcg/moJ763892BGxPmrIfl892Ydq2usw) making sure the plugin folder 'mobiquo' was replaced with the new one, and the product.xml file has been imported.
What Happened?
Although we try our best to keep forums as secure as possible, something slipped through testing and the vBulletin 4 plugin was released with a bug that allows for an attacker unauthorized access the database. We urge you to update the plugin as a matter or urgency.
While we are constantly on the lookout for security exploits ourselves,if you come across any security issues, we urge you to report them privately to us here via our Security Incident Response Team form (https://sendy.tapatalk.com/l/HXeYgT076319rq3lr4WL7636gg/kel5Pkv49sJ7aCC4vuS5uw/moJ763892BGxPmrIfl892Ydq2usw). We appreciate any tips you may have that will aid us in improving everyone's security on Tapatalk!
Thank You,
The Tapatalk Team

Is this thread still alive?

I have custom age requirements for my forum (by editing register.php) but Tapatalk defaults back to the standard 13+ coppa restrictions thus allowing new members to bypass my rules.

Has anyone else been able to get around this problem as they seem to have done away with off-app sign ups?
