Are you interested in new Tapatalk official plugin for Drupal 7 Forum?

As this question is not regarding writing code, nor about how to write a module, this section of the forum isn't really the right area. Your question would be better served in the General Discussion forum. You can move it by editing the original post and choosing General Discussion as the forum.

Ok,done.

A couple of thoughts:

1) if you want your plugin to be used by the community, you should host it on Drupal.org, not github, as Drupal.org is where people come to search for modules. People also trust the modules here, as they are reviewed by the community. Externally hosted modules always come with a risk. There are a few well-known modules hosted on github (Drush is one, though technically not a Drupal module), but these are generally already well known by being hosted on Drupal.org before being hosted on github.

2) You likely won't get a flood of responses here for people looking for this module, but over the years you will occasionally get someone dropping in asking how it's going. If you build it, they will come.

If we can get any help or guide from Drupal official team would be great!

There isn't really an official Drupal team that will help you out with this. But if you want to start building it, you should start at the Module Developer's Guide, and as you have questions you can ask them here in the forum.

Hi,

Thank you for your advice.

We will release a official beta version plugin on tapatalk.com soon,and we'll try to built a regular plugin for Drupal and try to host it on Drupal.org in the futrue.

We'll let you know if there are any news for it.

Please let us know if any guys get any issues with it.

Thanks.

I took a look at https://github.com/tapatalk/drupal and it seems like there's still some work that needs to be done. For once you're missing two most important files in the way modules can be seen by Drupal -> module_name.module and module_name.info. Like Jaypan said Module guide is a great way to start...

Good luck and thank you for working on this. Tapatalk is very popular and integrating it with Drupal forum or https://drupal.org/project/advanced_forum would be great.

Hi,

Thank you for your advice.

Our beta version plugin will just only be a green version plugin,you just need the following 2 simple steps to install our plugin into your site:
1.unpack the mobiquo.zip package and copy the mobiquo folder into your drupal site root folder;
2. if it is the first time you install our plugin for your site,please register your site in tapatalk forum owner area:http://tapatalk.com/forum_owner.php.

You can refer this topic to get more news about it before we release the first version plugin and create special support forum for it:
https://support.tapatalk.com/threads/are-you-interested-in-new-tapatalk-...

We have noticed that advanced forum is a popular forum based on drupal native forum module,so maybe we need support it also?

Any ideas or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Yes, Advanced Forum is popular

mrpauldriver commented 5 August 2014 at 19:28

Yes, Advanced Forum is popular as well, although this is an extension of the regular Forum module - this is how Drupal works, like building blocks.

Others are right to say that this needs to be done the Drupal way.

From your installation notes I have copied the following.

Upload the 'mobiquo' directory to the root of your Drupal 7 installation. For example, if your forum URL is http://www.mysite.com/forum, it should be placed at http://www.mysite.com/forum/mobiquo/.

With Drupal, modules are never installed this way. Did you know uploading to the root directory would lead (in many cases) to your module being deleted when Drupal receives a maintenance or security update?

The Drupal community will welcome your interest in providing support for Tapatalk, but it will gain no traction unless it is done via a proper contributed module and is also hosted on drupal.org

Good luck
