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".

app.

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.

This is the additional add-on you can use to customize the Who's Online label.

I *very* anxiously await! Ps - is there a main page somewhere that I can check for updates at ? I'm sure it's not here on the vB mod forum

Here you can find a wealth of information:

Yes I'm on that forum - but I'd rather know of a single URL I can check for when updates are released instead of searching through a whole forum (I run multiple sites, multiple servers, multiple forums, and already try and do 2hrs of online work for every 1hr of real time, so I'm a bit too busy to be 'involved' in another entire forum)

This is the announcement area we use:

http://www.tapatalk.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=3

For important update we usually send email or use the email feature here at vb.org to all users who marked as "Installed"

Thanks

Any idea on a time frame when the 'unread' posts button will be working? Right now switching between "All Posts and "Unread" posts, does nothing. 'Not sure if it's a problem with the Tapatalk app on the phone, or the vB mod part of it. (although being able to set the resize size on my Android is more important to me)

We are revamping the Unread function to make it works more like a New Posts function in VB and I hope it will be ready really soon.
