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

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

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.

you can see the version string at the mobiquo/conf/config.txt file, usually accessible from the web browser to your forum.

Jiffy sorry the package here may be a bit out-dated as we pushed out new version at http://www.tapatalk.com I believe the latest version is 1.6.3 - check it out and it should be fixed, if it still doesn't let me know again I will look into it for sure.

I also updated the package here.

Yup!

FYI just released version 1.4.7 of the Android app with full support of vBulletin style QUOTE formatting and improved image upload quality.

I just got the notification about "improved image quality" uploading, but to my eyes, nothing has changed.

This, believe it or not, was a 5MP image:
http://www.ontariostorms.com/attachm...6&d=1273516279

(if image doesn't load just hit refresh.. for some reason my vB has this problem (never happens on my other 2 vB forums))

It's been squished down to a tiny 320x240 image, and is still heavily compressed as seen by the pixelization.

Hi Zodiac,

This update fixed image upload quality issue when you select the image from the library, for image taken directly from the in-app camera it still an on-going work to improve it. Perhaps you can take the image outside Tapatalk app and try uploading it to see if it makes any different?

Hm... I made 2 more posts, each with 1 attachment. 'Selected them from my stored media gallery, and it's still resizing them to 320x240.

1024x768 would be better (or 800x600 minimum). Ideally 1400 wide or even a setting with different options that the user could choose from...

Can you provide us an URL so we can take a look on it?

We are working on improving this issue as well.

The URL was linked a number of times in this thread. I killed the thread about a week ago. It was just a 320x240 picture, shot out the window looking down the street, with some trees on either side and a road in the middle.

If you really need an example to correct it , just let me know and I'll go re-do it all. (but please, only if it's going to be fixed soon. 'No use me doing all that if someone is just going to look at it and say 'hm, yah.. it's a 320 wide by 240 tall image').
