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

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

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.

Just an fyi for people.....learned this today.

Went to go see whose online, have someone viewing: "Unknown Location
/forum/mobiquo/mobiquo.php "

All this means is that they are using tapatalk.......he's also posting from droid, so it's available for that too

I finally got around to marking this installed even though we've been using it for months on www.planet-9.com

Our members seem to like it and we are also waiting on the Blackberry support as I don't want to have to install another product to get that.

FYI you can also customize this "Unknown Location" to something more descriptive. One of the vbulletin.org member has created a Who's Online Plugin for Tapatalk:

It should - but I notice it doesn't seem to work for your forum. We will look into it

[yellowpeter]

FYI we have just released another update to Android. Less force-close and added few more features such as able to see avatars in Who's Online list. Enjoy.

Just checking with you guys that whether you have trouble to locate the app from the Android Market? we heard few incidents that users cannot find the app if their device OS on version 1.5.

[yellowpeter]

We have released another round of iPhone update at app store. Version 1.5.6 with a new logo! Enjoy!
