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.

Wow I must have just installed this at the right time if you just added image uploading support!

Ok, PROBLEMS:


- I can't bookmark my forum on my phone. In fact, I can't bookmark/favorite anything. It says to use "add to favorites feature when viewing a message" - but the only options I get are: Refresh / Reply / Close / Exit. I'd like to be able to add my MAIN FORUM as a favorite so I can just jump to it instead of having to manually search for it from the main Tapatalk screen each time.

- 2: It's resizing my nice images down to little 324x182 pixel shots! I've got a 5MP camera in my phone and would like to be able to send much larger images. Is there an option where I can set the size that it resizes to? I'd like to go at least 1024px wide. Maybe have it ask for "maximum side size: " and have it resize down to that ? This feature is VERY important to me as I run a storm site where people will be sending in photos while out on the road. Even better would be a "Max image size while on 3G" and another for while on WiFi (or simply ask user to input max pixel size when attaching, and remember last input entered)

But yah.. haven't to manually search for my site each time to get there on my phone is going to be frustrating for everyone. Being able to add the avatar for it right to their Tapatalk main screen would be nice. And having an option for what size it resizes images to. Both would be VERY much welcome additions!

Hey thanks for the feedback.. Your forum (and including your login details) are saved automatically in the "Favorites" in the entry screen so next time you don't need to search and login again, perhaps you missed it or we didn't make it obvious?

For image quality and upload, improvements are underway to make it better.. :up:

EXCELLENT! I clicked it before entering my forum and it was blank... and I never successfully [manually] entered anything into favorites, so I didn't bother checking back. But yes, my forum is now listing in favorites. Maybe have a pop-up when a user goes into a forum saying "This forum has been added to favorites" or something.. so newbies like me don't miss that part

GREAT! As I mentioned, an option/setting to set the width in pixels would be perfect. Something like, "Set longest side to: " Then I could just enter 1024 or 1280, 1920, etc...

Great app/mod so far !!! :up:

Question : why do we need to add that script line to the bottom of our footer template? I just added my hockey forum and saw that in the instructions, but yesterday when I added my storms forum I didn't know about that part, and my storms forum is working just fine without that template edit.

??

That template simply tells user who visit your site with iPhone and Android web browser, that they now have an option to use Tapatalk/

Aaah ok. It's just that one of my sites receives 30,000+ visits a day and I'm really trying to keep any extra queries/code down to a minimum to relieve stress on the CPU.

My site receives a mere 7-10K and there is nominal stress by this application and doesn't register. IMHO it's one of the best, well thought out products I have seen and the support is second to very few.

Oh I agree it's a great mod/app. I'm just saying that if it isn't 100% necessary to run that script at the bottom of each page, I'll leave it out.

The only thing I'd like to see with Tapatalk right now is the bug fix for msgs (clicking the button for unread msgs doesn't do anything), and the ability to set your resize for image resizing - right now it turns big 5MPixel images down to tiny things with really low quality. It would be great if the user could configure that him/herself.
