    Hello.

    I'm trying to make it so some forums are accessible through this iPhone application, but I'm afraid the directions haven't been much help for me. If there is anyone who could give me a simple walk-through of what you're suppose to do it would be greatly appreciated.

    I have a forum in the "Publish Your Forum" area, but I'm not sure what to do next. I pressed "Verify Installation Status" and it says "Not Installed." Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for your time and your help :)

    Hi,

    If the Verify Installation says "Not Installed" it means you have not installed the plugin properly. Go to "Download and Install" tab on the upper left corner, there is an installation instruction.

    If you still have trouble please let us know.

    I did try to download vBulletin at first, and then I tried phpBB, but I couldn't figure out what to do after that. The next set of instructions said:

    "Place the zip package at the root of your forum system."

    And I have no idea what that means, haha. I think that's the part I need help with. Also, I have a mac, does that effect which download I choose? I figured it wouldn't, since this is for the iPhone.

    Thanks again for your help!

    Hi,

    Once you downloaded the zip package, you need to upload it to your server via FTP. You may want to place it in the directory where your forum .php files are located.

    Then you can telnet/ssh to your server, go to that directory and then unzip the package. If you don't have telnet/ssh access, you can first unzip the package in Mac, and then upload the entire "mobiquo" directory to your server.

    Hi,
    I am stuck at this same spot and do not understand how to upload it. I'm afraid I don't know what FTP is or where to upload it to..

    Hm... it's really hard if you don't have FTP access? Can you check with your computer friends to see if they can do you a favor? :)

    I'm sorry, but how can you run any website and not know what ftp is and how to use it?

    Very Dissapointed

    Real nice response. Glad to see how helpfull you guys are on this Forum.
    I am currently running 4 Sites and have been for several years. You'll have to forgive my extreme ignorance but I do not know what it is. It's amazing I have gotten on as long as I have.
    Maybe if someone would at least offer up what it stands for I can research it on my own, since you guys aren't willing to help.

    Yeah I'm running PHPBB3 and the Tapatalk instructions say that it is supported. They also say it is quick and easy. Will anyone take the time to explain it to me?..

    Copied from Tapatalk Forum Owners Section: "Registration to the Forum Owner Area is free and easy. Once you enter, you will be guided by the 3 step wizard. The first step is to download a Tapatalk Plugin that's compatible with your forum system (Currently vBulletin and phpBB3 are supported)."

    Hi, you can download the plugin, unzip the package, download the FTP client like "Filezilla", use the connection information provided by your hosting provider to login to your server using Filezilla, and drag the entire "mobiquo" directory (the folder itself) to where your forum installation is, then everything should be okay.

    with a lot of php sites they don't have ftp access. this may be the case here


    tooslick4you you will have to connect who ever maintains your server and explain to them what you want to do.

    just give them the directions and they should know what to do.

    u may have to get ur own server and pay for it monthly if you want to use tapatalk though.

    Like duhneiz said, you need to contact Forumotion staff to install this MOD.

    and they probably wont add it. like i was saying early he probably going to need to start his site over on another server.

    nini had to do the same thing to use tapatalk.

    With forummotion it is not able to be done, this is the reason i left them, u will have to have a different server for your php board
  18. NiNiaKa99 New Member

    forumotion is a free site, i contacted them before and they cant change anything, you will need your own server and pay for the year or something like that then you will have total access via ftp and some server sites allow you to do it thru a cpanel without having to have an ftp

    cpanel would suck u have to move files one by one. unless there is a way that i dont know about haha
