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
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".

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.

You can upload pictures, not sure about videos- don't think so... and no on the samsung eternity- just Apple / Android / Blackberry / and Nokia.

Just FYI you can also look up the Tapatalk usage of your forum at our website there is an Analytics section which details number of sessions it generates to your forum.

INSTALLED and works on my 3.7x forum flawlessly using a Moto Droid with Tapatalk Pro. The free version of this app is very poor!

You should get permission to include the WOL plugin for this to display correctly when viewing who's online in your forum.

Anyone have the instructions to manually remove the "Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk" message? I remember someone gave instructions for a plugin that would remove it from every post but I don't remember where I saw it and I searched high and low for it... any ideas?

I am not aware of a way to turn it off from the serverside. The signature by default is OFF on the app side so it's really up to the user to enable or disable it.. hm...

It wasn't an ideal fix, it was basically a plugin that ran as each post was submitted that simply checked if that string showed up anywhere in a post and if so, removed it- I suppose it could be used for anything but I definitely saw it posted as an answer to removing the text somehow... I guessing now it was probably at tapatalk's own forums... will keep looking- thanks.
