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

I am using vB4 on a new forum, I'm sure my base of 5 users (me twice) can handle a few bugs.

I think what would really benefit for forum owner is to have an app integrating the CMS side of the vBulletin. So News etc can be published and accessed inside the app.

FYI folks.. we are about to release the first Android beta, if you have an Android device please make sure you drop us a note at here tell us which model you are using.

A long promising feature.... Mobile Upload!

We have managed to finish the image upload feature on iPhone, now (well, i mean as soon as we submit it to app store and apple approves it) you can simply attach a photo either from Library or straight from the camera! No more email via other third-party tool!

when "Add Image" button is tapped it will ask if you want to take the picture from camera or from library:

Tap "Start Upload", you can continue to write your post while the image is being uploaded at the background

It takes only few seconds to upload, image will be re-sized to smaller resolution (if taken from camera) so to make the transfer faster
Attachment 106697

We are still doing some final testing on this feature but I just can't wait to share this good news after months of hard work to make it happen!

[vbreal]

ahhh man that is great news!!!! I've been waiting for this. cant wait it till i can get my hands on this version. haha

[yellowpeter]

Hopefully it will get to your hand soon...

[yellowpeter]

We have just started a small beta testing of the Android app! Here are some screenshots:

[vbreal]

so far so good on the android app. the few peeps on my site that are in beta love it.

[Stryker412]

Any chance of this making it's way to the webOS (Palm)?
