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

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

Hi abqtj,

Aware of the issue this morning - today we have reworked the setup instruction so you don't need to rely a small script in our server which apparently is not meant to handle to load. Now the entire Tapatalk setup is completely self-hosted and no dependency whatsoever.

You should also receive an email from us about this update. Let us know if you need further assistance.

We will update the full instruction and like the other user suggested, add a README.txt in the package to make it more complete.

Cheers

Hi Big-Pete,

The verification process (basically it make sure everything setup correctly and if not it will show you what's wrong) has nothing to do with the location of the code you mentioned.

Are you able to login to tapatalk and reinstall it with the updated instruction? We updated the package so it's no longer load any files from our server (and so to avoid potential performance issue when our server is overloaded). We are not google so we are not going to beef up our server instead we will make it competely self-contained in your server and no dependency to us.

I already removed my forum and account from the tapatalk site. Do I need to start over from square one on there again if I decide to add it back?

Yes unfortunately. but trust me it will be all good this time

This freaking mod has knocked my forum offline all day. I constantly get 'Content Encoding Error' screens and the whole forum is offline. I have had to figure out by pasting bits and pieces of clues all over the net to try and figure out how to fix this whole fiasco, and nothing is helping. I would suggest you install this mod with caution!

Cheers Yellowpeter, installed and updated tapatalk and all verified ok on VB4.0.1 with VBSeo and sitemap 2.6 running..

Hi RollaJedi,

I'll be really concerned if there is such error, one of our fellow sent you an email to follow-up. I hope it gets clarified very soon whether it is related with this MOD, and if so, we will definitely go fix it immediately.
