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.

Also this app does help to get your users participate more on-the-go. And yes it supports upload photos from app, but not video yet.

viglink is not an option for me, as my forum has virtually no outbound links.

Is it possible to make tapatalk available to certain usergroups only?

Does talpatalk have PUSH? IMO PUSH is the main reason to use an app instead of a skin.

Is it me or this isn't compatible with the blackberry torch?

When trying to install this on a vBulletin 3.8.X forum, I get the following error message when trying to verify installation status:

Installed but not up-to-date, please install the latest update before publishing your network to Tapatalk

...this despite installing the latest vBulletin 3.8 compatible version from this thread.

Please modify the script on the Tapatalk website to recognize that 3.1.1 is the most recent 3.8-compatible version.

If you go to Tapatalk's download page, http://www.tapatalk.com/download.php, the current version is 3.2.0.

Are there any tricks for getting ame to work on tapatalk?

[lazytown]

IMHO, Until this can have owner-supplied ads (google mobile ads, etc) like ForumRunner, this app should not be installed by large forums. This should be their TOP priority.

[Black Tiger]

Looks interesting, but can anyone tell me if Tapatalk will conflict with Forumrunner when that is already running on the forums?
