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".


Step 4

Visit http://www.tapatalk.com/addforum.php to enter your forum URL and upload you forum
logo there. It will allow end-user to find his way to your forum using the Tapatalk
app.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Let me know if you have any trouble using the app. The app itself is still in beta but the serverside component is mature as it uses the same plugin as iPhone / Android.

Peter - care to acknowledge this?

Hi Woodie,

Sorry if I missed this message. The password is only stored in the iPhone using the Apple key-chain framework. It is not sent to our server by any mean.

As soon as you remove the app or even remove the forum from the app, the login information will be deleted.

[yellowpeter]

Just to let you know that we have updated the 3.7 plugin with Search / Unread Posts / Mark Forums Read support. Please update your plugin accordingly - We will roll out the said features from the app store fairly soon

[yellowpeter]

FYI we have just released an update to the Android app with major performance improvement with ability to bookmark sub-forums. I hope you continue to enjoy Tapatalk

[yellowpeter]

Another update to the Android app with few crash fixes and added ability to customize signature now!!

[yellowpeter]

Today we just released another round of BlackBerry app update. OTA download at http://tapatalk.com/bb
