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".

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.

just installed.

I don't have a phone to verify so can someone check www.invertplanet.com/forum/ ?

Thanks in advance

Hi all,

I've followed the instructions to the letter on installing this mod and no joy.

When I go to verify the installation status I get "Not Installed: Server Error(1)"

All files are chmod 755

I've disabled vBseo in case this was the issue.

Any ideas?

[Alan_SP]

For files, it only needs to be 644, 755 is for directories. If you copied files and added JS in headinclude, that should be it. After that, everything should work ok. But, usually there could be problem with FTPing files to the server. Try upload all files again. And put them in forum's root. Also verify where is JS, does it point where you put files in?

[GONUMBER6]

Hi just installed per request of our users and it works great! :up:

One question....How do we add the advertising/banner on it?

Yep, did everything like you said. Still nothing

Guess I'll contact their support unless there is another equivalent plugin for vB 4.x

[lurch_cr]

I think people should be aware that the WinPhone 7 variant of this mod (Board Express) is essentially unsupported it would seem.
The support forum in the Board Express website is essentially dead a dodo.

I can't seem t publish it. Is there a waiting period?

[bigtree]

got it!

Thanks!

This app is completely useless - a joke. The whole purpose behind having a "mobile friendly" site is to display your site differently to visitors on mobile browsers.

Where people are getting confused is that none of your initial visitors are actually going to see your mobile friendly site - they're going to see your non-mobile site that doesn't fit well on their browser. Then, they'll be prompted to pay for this guy's app. If you get hundreds or thousands of hits to your site via mobile browsers per day, do you really think they're all going to pay to see your site before they even know what your mobile version looks like - let alone be ready to justify paying to look at a site they're brand new to?

All that happened is they built up a big userbase offering the app for free and then decided to capitalize off that, while ruining the whole point of it in the process. I can understand forum owners paying a license fee to offer an app, but not charging every user to download it.

Uninstalling and rating 1 star.

Useless!

Dear Angry Elf,

First, you don't have to pay for the app to read the forum.

And if you want to show a mobile skin to your mobile devices, thats YOUR job to do it - not this mod. There are plenty of mobile skins and mobile device detection scripts all over the place. Find one, admin.

And finally, paying for the app allows you to post to thousands of forums. I've had plenty of users come BACK when they found we had tapatalk on the forum.

Stop being so angry. Thanks.
