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.

• Tapatalk allows you to put your sponsored banner into the app so you don't lose potential revenue **NEW**

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".

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.

What am I missing here, I just downloaded the zip file at the top of the thread, installed and tried to publish on the tapatalk page and got this message:

Installed but not up-to-date, please install the latest update before publishing your network to Tapatalk

I do not see a way to upgrade?

Is it anyway to make the location of a person who is on a forum look different than this on the "who's online page"

PHP Code:

Unknown Location
/forums/mobiquo/mobiquo.php

Is the part of the code that resizes the image down to a tiny little (imo useless) thing, in the app or in the vB mod? I really need to change this because the images it attaches are not really even viewable quality.

*Edit*

never mind had the wrong version

[bplinson]

Great app but I am wondering why the OP does not address questions as to why the app is not free.

I understand that software development requires a lot of time and money but but why should provide an app to my members that takes income from me, Google Adsense ads, Supporting Vendor ads, etc..., which are not viewable via this app and only give incomes to the app developer?

You can upload attachments, but as far as I know, only images - and they're resized to a useless resolution (small pixel size, and massively compressed so they're small AND blurry).

Auto-quoting the msg you're replying to would be nice. I dont' want copy and paste though. The simpler the quicker. You can do all that stuff just by opening a regular browser and going to your forum that way.

[MissKalunji]

Well i believe copy paste is useful because of what if you copy past ea convo or a quote or something similar. Anyways it's still in beta i found another one still be looking out.

how's the iphone one? ide like to get it for my fellow iphone user

The only thing I'd like to see with Tapatalk right now is the bug fix for msgs (clicking the button for unread msgs doesn't do anything), and the ability to set your resize for image resizing - right now it turns big 5MPixel images down to tiny things with really low quality. It would be great if the user could configure that him/herself.

The image resize for upload, you can set it in "Settings" in iPhone, you can adjust the upload image quality.

Oops.. we have just updated the package so it tells you that you have installed the older one. You can simply drop in the latest package and all will be good.
