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".


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.

Glad to see it working - we are putting this fix into next release also as more than few forums are having the same issue.

I understand his point, actually. I'll tell you why this app doesn't really phase me.

(1) I need a mobile version of my site. While this app is cool and wish them success, I need to solve that issue. Once it's done, I and my users don't really need this app.

(2) Many might not pay for a generic app that may or may not have all the functions of a vb forum, I don't know. For people who use VB often, if it makes life much easier, then it's a good app to buy. But many might not feel it's worth it so I'm still left developing a mobile/iphone version for my site.

So in conclusion, I'm not going to force or convince (as an affiliate) my users to buy an application for $3 in order to use an iPhone compatible version, especially without getting a piece of that revenue either. I understand the developer's point of view but it's unfortunately the way it is. Apple and it's iTunes store and their grabbing every penny doesn't help with the model either.

Nice app still and good work. Maybe in time, we'll see. Kudos to the developers on great work and a great idea.
