There may be some down time this evening and the forums will be going off line for a short while whilst I install Tapatalk

More and more people these days are accessing the internet through mobile devices. Tapatalk makes it easier to participate in forums and provides easy access to forum functions that might otherwise be difficult from a mobile device.

Q: What is Tapatalk?

A: Tapatalk is a mobile app built specifically for forum access. Different from mobile skin or mobile version that comes with the forum system, Tapatalk allows user to have a unified interface to access multiple forums at the same time.

Since the app is one of the top downloaded apps for both android and i-devices..  it will hopefully help some users if the forum is tapatalk compatible.

PS Forums will go into maintenance mode at about midnight.

Well done Kitz.

It all happened while I was in the land of Nod.

Sorry to bump an old thread. Does the Tapatalk app support push notifications with this forum? I can't seem to find an option to enable it in the app.

[kitz]

I have to go out soon so can't check properly, but is it for ios or android. Last time I looked it only worked on the iOS version.   Will double check when I get back home later.

[GigabitEthernet]

It is for iOS, Kitz.

Im trying to look into this, it seems that there was a new version released 1/22/2013 which 'should' support this.
Unfortunately there doesnt seem to be an upgrade path and I have to uninstall the old module and re-install.   
I will need to take the forum offline to do this, so I may have a go later on this evening around midniteish to cause least disruption.

Its unlikely to be tonight..  as something unexpected has cropped up...  and from what I looked at earlier, I will need a straight head to look at it.
Have a good evening everyone

Tapatalk is currently unavailable.   

Ive followed the upgrade path to the letter but there seems to be a problem with the install and its not creating a required mobiquo folder that I can chmod to get it to work.
Googling the net theres a lot of other forum owners having this issue, unfortunately it doesnt help that the SMF website is currently unavailable so I cant search there for solutions.  Hopefully I can find a solution later.


----------------
Edit for future reference.

The tapatalk installation package doesnt unzip and place the needed mobiquo folder at the root directory.
Solution.
- Download package and install in the usual way via SMF package manager.
- When sucessfully installed in SMF via the normal process...... THEN do the following additional steps.
 
~ Download package to local PC. 
~ Unzip package and extract mobiquo folder. 
~ Manually upload mobiquo folder and all of its contents to root at public html via FTP
~ CHMOD to 755

Tapatalk should now be working again. 
 
As regards to push notifications Ive enabled it in the settings...  however I do see some grumbles on the net that it may not be working properly in SMF and not fully supported yet.   I cant test this out atm though :/
