Title: Is Tapatalk enabled?
Post by: zpriusv5 on January 06, 2015, 12:58:16 am
When I visit the forum on my phone I get an ad to use Tapatalk, which I have installed. However when I use Tapatalk I can only browse the forum. I can't log in to the forum (which means no posting, checking messages, etc). Is that how the site is supposed to work or is there something wrong?

Tapatalk v3.3.0

Welcome aboard, Zpriusv5.   ;D

IIRC a few people have managed to get it working, but for the most part, Tapatalk does not play well with SMF. (the forum software)

The more I dig into it, the more I read about problems with tapatalk and SMF. So much so that SMF pulled Tapatalk out of their supported plug in list. :(

I wonder if the button at the bottom of this page will work?

Add my forum to Tapatalk network

It appears, at first glance, that this is how people with SMF are getting their site running with the Tapatalk mod.   :dunno

Tapatalk released a new version of the SMF plugin yesterday (4.2.2). I wonder if it might get us up and running again.

Hey Saint - Do you have time to give the upgrade a try?

Gifs don't play well with Tapatalk?
Title: Re: Is Tapatalk enabled?

Gifs don't play well with Tapatalk?

They sorta work, and there are no settings in Tapatalk for manipulating GIF behaviour. This is on Nexus 4, Android 5.0, latest Tapatalk app version.

Open this thread http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,143179.0.html (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,143179.0.html) in Tapatalk (not the most inspiring one contentwise but we're here for GIFs! ;D )
As you can see, avatars animate by default (find a message by Hoopz) but GIFs in message body don't. GIFs are marked as such (see the attached screenshot). Tapping a GIF will open it, and it will animate.

I believe this behavior is there to prevent users from automatically loading large-sized GIFs, thus wasting their expensive and capped mobile data. But I'm just guessing, I haven't actually tested whether just the first frame of a GIF is fetched for a message, and only when a user taps a GIF, a complete image is downloaded.

If Tapatalk had support for parsing custom smilies...

OMG IT WORKS!!! Thank you! I actually just checked this a couple of weeks ago, with no success. NICE to have it back!

It was actually ridiculously simple to fix, and impossible at the same time until my last attempt. There was a field indicating who was allowed to log in via Tapatalk, that had garbage in it (and hence stopping everyone from logging in). However, I never saw that field, because the admin interface never worked. Every field was blank, every entry box was blank. Nothing I did fixed that. Don't know what magic made it suddenly work. I think it's entirely possible I didn't re-check the admin interface last time I updated Tapatalk. Dunno.

Naw, we tried it, some people got hella stupid with it, Saint didn't like how it was going, so he quashed it. I didn't blame him at the time. Still don't.  :cheers:

Instead of bringing rep back, how about access to PH for us?  Comedy gold in most of those threads.

Nah, he was talking about the Fort.  Stingray lets anyone in that place.  Even Chad was allowed in at one point.   >:D

Hi guys, I've had this working with Tapatalk for a while but suddenly am unable to login with Tapatalk. Screenshot of error attached. Probably a configuration issue? I know you can submit it to Tapatalk if you're not sure what got borken.
