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

lol he probibly got flagged as a spammer from his host, this cause's you to get the 403 or 404 error at your website.

and would have to cmod his public_html dir back to 755, happened to me this morning so i installed this version as i was running the latest version from tapatalk

Good to see it is working well

Easy Installation, good product, however the massive amount of SPAM users in the hundreds per day signing up caused me to abandon the product, it is still installed for members, but not listed at all on the Tapatalk website.
I also had to implement a large ip range block as the bots continued to sign up for weeks.

We should be allowed to add the forum from invitations sent from website for the new users who won't b able to find the forum on the tapatalk website.

We would love to hear what made you think it encourages spam users? We don't even have the registration API?

On 3 different occasions when I listed the site at tapatalk, it began when I removed it it ended.

As I said it was so bad I had to implement massive ip range blocks.

I love the product, and it works great, I currently use it on my phone, but can't have it listed which makes it impossible for New users to find.

I wouldn't and am not bad mouthing the product in any way, but I am positive somehow these massive numbers of bots are finding the sites listed through this product directory.

I must not have the product installed correctly to display to new users so I will verify that, but it isn't listed at tapatalk.

Like I said amazing product easy to use but I hate spam registrations and 100's a day sometimes thousands was killing my site.

Send me an e-mail if you need any info, logs, stats etc.
Thanks.
