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

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"

<script type="text/javascript" src="mobiquo/tapatalkdetect.js"></script>

Thanks for all the questions. This forum is for discussing technical issues, features, updates etc related to the MOD - if you feel the need to discuss anything else I would recommend you to refer to here:

I'd be more inclined to purchase this if it was just for my forum and not a bunch of others all in one

Hi all,

Today we have got version 1.3 of Tapatalk iPhone app released at Apple app store - a small milestone over the 1.2.1 version. This version has added:

- Personalization - you can customize which tabs to appear on the tab bar, e.g. if you move the "Latest" to leftmost, it will automatically load once your app starts!
- Full support of Pagination - now you can flip thru pages in a long thread just like on web browser, only much easier!
- Able to see who is currently online and send instant private message to them with just a tap
- Forum Statistic - a simple tab that lists all your forum statistic (where your forum security allows) include number of currently online users, total number of posts and members, etc.
- Added Italian, Swedish and Czech language support
- plus number of bug fixes

here are some of the screenshots we posted earlier:


Any issues, please let us know!

OK where are the install instructions?

[yellowpeter]

bada_bing,

Thanks for pointing this out I have updated the instruction in the MOD detail screen - in essence everything can be found at http://www.tapatalk.com/plugin

[bada_bing]

I have this installed and seems to work ok except the images are not displaying correctly. I have a plugin called Resize IMG tag with Highslide! located here https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...t=image+resize which auto resizes all posted images which I think that this plugin does not support, can we get a fix to this please

[edytwinky]

Is there any plan in the future to have this set up so it only works with your own personal board instead of a directory of forums.

[yellowpeter]

Hi edytwinky,

We don't have any specific plan for rebranding app. But you can refer to http://www.tapatalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=187 for specific discussion and share your idea there.

Interesting. Can you give me an example (e.g. your forum) so we can look into it whether it can be fixed quickly?

I have HS IMG Tag Resize 2.1.1 installed on my forum "The Model Hangar" and the images seem to be served fine in Tapatalk.
