What is Tapatalk?

Tapatalk is a vBulletin mod that allows your users to browse your forum using a native mobile application. Tapatalk supports iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, webOS and Windows Phone 7. It provides super-fast access to your forum and allows your members to participate more in your forum while on the go.

Why Tapatalk?

• Only one MOD installation to support all mobile devices including iPhone, Android, WebOS, Windows Phone 7 and BlackBerry.
• Forum API - build your own app or server-side integration with well-documented Tapatalk API, enjoy quality forum app from third-party developers, beyond what Tapatalk internal team can offer.
• Well-tested. This MOD has been installed in over 23000 forums, including some of the very large forums with 2 million members with over 10,000 online users. This app is designed to scale
• Tapatalk allows you to put your sponsored banner into the app so you don't lose potential revenue **NEW**
• Analytics support - you get too see how many users are accessing your forum from the Tapatalk app

Installation Instruction:

Installation is easy. It does not change any of your forum settings or overwrite any
of your existing forum code and configuration. Simply follow the procedure below:

Step 1

Create yourself an account at http://www.tapatalk.com/plugin.php. Once you have logged in
to the website, you can download the largest version. If you are not sure you are
using the latest version. Download a new one from
http://www.tapatalk.com/download.php. You can follow the rest of the instruction
from tapatalk.com onward if you want. Otherwise read on:

Step 2

Upload the zip package at the root of your forum system.
Unzip the package. You should see a directory called "mobiquo" inside 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/.


Step 3

Login to Administration Control Panel (admincp) in your server.
Choose "Style Manager" under "Styles and Templates".
Choose "Edit Template" in your current template.
Click "Edit" in your current template
Choose "headinclude" in the list, click "Edit"
At the bottom of the editor, insert the following line:
<script type="text/javascript" src="mobiquo/tapatalkdetect.js"></script>
Click "Save".

logo there. It will allow end-user to find his way to your forum using the Tapatalk
app.

Step 5

Visit http://www.tapatalk.com/manageforum.php to confirm the setup so you can select
whether you want to publish your site to the public listing or you want to set it up
so it is complete private to other end users.

Thanks wolfstream - yes you can set it as hidden forum and no one else without knowing your name can find it.

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

We have released Tapatalk Plugin for vBulletin as version 1.0.1 - please grab your copy if you have not updated it. We have fixed few minor bugs and one very annoying problem of not able to jump to latest posts if a thread contains more than 1000 posts. It appears to be working correctly now.

Let us know if you run into any problem!

Tapatalk is awesome, it's really fast now with version 3.0 upgrade to it. Really noticed improvements across the board.

[yellowpeter]

Delighted to see another happy forum owners... please expect a new build within two weeks time with some minor improvement and bug fixes.

Hi,

Today we have managed to release an update version of Tapatalk Plugin for vBulletin version 1.0.2. This version is an minor update with:- forum home page is not updated with latest post author and time-stamp ( see: http://www.tapatalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=401 )

- Now support customized default forum icon! This is useful if you really hate the "microphone" default forum icon . All you need to do is to place a PNG image as "default.png" in mobiquo/forum_icons/ directory. For background of this feature please refer to this thread: http://www.tapatalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=309

Personally I think this is a worthwhile update. Let us know if you run into any problem

Attached is a sampe of customized icon screenshot, taken from our Tapatalk Community forum
