Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Tapatalk Signature ("Sent from my...") Remover for VB3 & VB4

Brought to you by BirdOPrey5

Version 1.1 - Updated to work with Tapatalk AND Tapatalk 2.

Tapatalk (www.tapatalk.com) is an add-on for vBulletin to allow uses with iPhones, Droids, Blackberrys, and other smart phones to easily view and post on your forum.

However Tapatalk has one annoying feature- It adds a "Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk" message at the end of each message if the user posting has enabled this feature.

NEW - As of April 2016 Tapatalk no longer allows Admins with free accounts to shut off the signatures from users using Tapatalk. This mod has become useful again.

This mod will hide or replace at your option all of the "Sent from my X using Tapatalk" messages giving you a cleaner looking forum.

At your option you can also replace the signature with something else, perhaps a small image or a link or whatever you want, HTML is allowed in the replacement.

This works for VB 3.7, 3.8, 4.0.x, 4.1.x and 4.2.x versions of vBulletin.

Full instructions in zip file.

try adding

global $vbulletin;

To the very top of the plugin, the only other thing I can think of...

Hi. I have installed and enabled the plugin on my VB4.2.2. board but unfortunately it appears to have no effect when enabled. I had set it to remove the TapaTalk signature but the signature remains in posts. Is it maybe not compatible with VB4.2.2?

[BirdOPrey5]

It works fine in all versions- however it hasn't been updated in a long time- my guess is the default Tapatalk signature has changed.

Honestly- I'm not sure why it is needed anymore since Tapatalk lets you (ad an Admin) turn off signatures in their control panel on their site. This was made years ago when this was not an option.

But if you want to use it- can you copy and paste a tapatalk signature exactly- or post a link to a post with one on your site?

Hi Joe,

There are a couple of examples of TapaTalk posts on this page http://www.snuson.com/showthread.php...-Windows-Phone

Ultimately I was hoping to use your mod to replace the TapaTalk signature with a custom mobile phone icon or something along those lines once I got it up and running. Setting it to just strip the signatures was just a test on my end really.

Good work on your mods btw. I use quite a few of them.

The "Sent from my LG-E980 using Tapatalk" message should definitely be found and removed or altered by this mod. If it isn't working it is likely some other mod interfering.

Please try going to the Tapatalk Sig Remover plugin for this mod and changing the execution order from 5 to 0.

This is done in Admin CP -> Plugins & Products -> Plugin Manager

I did notice new users using tapatalk it automatically adds "Using Tapatalk" to their signature In vbulletin. Any ideas to prevent this? Its absolute spamming.

Thank you

[blacklab]

should this still work?

tapatalk now requires site owners to pay $10 to turn off the sigs.

edit:

it's working just had to clear the xcache caches on my servers

Tapatalk has removed the ability for Admins to disable signatures unless you pay them for the privilege. I have heard reports this still works to hide those signatures so it has become useful again.
