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.

Step 6

We just tried to install this since we had some members asking for it. Looked like it was working well and then minutes later our entire site went down. It appeared that an issue with apache not loading was causing the problem. We are running Apache 2.2.14 and PHP 5.2.12. What could cause this issue?

Hello drumbum,

Can you elaborate more about the issue? What do you mean by "apache not loading"? The plugin does not involve any change to your system, it is simply a plugin on top of your existing vB. If you can provide more clues we will be able to look into it for you.

Installed in a medium forum (150k registered users), tested on a blackberry 9000 and working great.

Is there a chance that any new thread/reply goes with the signature "Posted from Tapatalk" and a link?

I am a computor simpleton.
I would like to download this. It mentions to download it to my root files.
Do I have to make a new file for it under my root or does it automatically make a new file and place it where it is supposed to go in the root.

root is where your vb software is installed some have it /forum/

in other words it will be in the directory where your admincp file is located
