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

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

Hi,

The app access only the tapatalk.com domain - is there a way you can tell us which IP is having problem with?

Cheers,

[yellowpeter]

We have submitted the latest iPhone app version 1.4 to Apple few days ago with "Edit" function where you can open you post in edit mode and save the change on the fly.. I hope you guys will like it. In addition we have reworked the pagination and full screen images display logic to make it more stable and usable.

I will let you guys know as soon as it is approved.

Make sure you upgrade your plugin (MOD) to version 1.1 to take advantage the new feature.. Cheers.

I am receiving an error when I click the Inbox.. I get this message

This function is currently unavailable- please contact your forum administrator if this problem persists.

[yellowpeter]

Are you still having this problem? PM me the URL of your forum and a test account and we will look into it accordingly..

Or you can open a issue ticket at http://www.tapatalk.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=13

Cheers

Installed!

So far so good, but I've only been able to do some very basic looking around.

One thing I noticed right off the bat: Is there a way to save our site as a favorite when opening the Tapatalk application, versus having to search for it? Or even better, would there be a way to place an icon on the homescreen that would go straight to our forum (much like you're able to do with a bookmarked website)?

Thanks for any answers!

Rich

Your forum is automatically added to user's favorites so next time he starts the app your forum will be shown on the favorites screen as entry screen.

And unfortunately no Apple won't allow us to change icon dynamically..
