Notification Enhancer

By default, Invision Community marks notifications as read when you open the notifications menu, even if you haven't actually viewed the content they refer to. As a result, notifications lose their bold formatting, making it difficult to distinguish content you have already read from content you haven't.
Notification Enhancer improves this behavior by keeping notifications highlighted until you actually read their associated content.
Instead of relying solely on the notification's read status, the application uses Invision Community's native content read markers to determine which notifications should remain highlighted.
Key features:
Keeps notifications in bold until their associated content has been read.
Tracks individual comments and replies, so older notifications are not highlighted simply because new replies have been posted in the same topic or item.
Distinguishes new content notifications from subsequent comments, preventing older notifications from becoming highlighted again.
Supports notifications from both official and third-party applications.
Works on both desktop and mobile notification menus.
Integrates with Invision Community's native read markers without modifying Core files or changing the standard notification system.

Cascading Select Custom Field

Cascading Select Custom Field adds a new custom field type that allows administrators to create dependent select fields using data from database tables. The second select is loaded dynamically via AJAX and automatically filtered based on the option selected in the first one, without reloading the page. This is useful for relationships such as Brand → Model, Country → State, Category → Subcategory, and similar data structures.
Because it integrates with the IPS Custom Fields model, it can be used anywhere in the suite where the underlying model extends Custom Fields support, including Profile Custom Fields and applications that implement their own Extra Fields systems.
The example above used:
CREATE TABLE cascadingselect_brands ( brand_id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, brand_name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (brand_id) ); INSERT INTO cascadingselect_brands (brand_name) VALUES ('Ford'), ('Toyota'), ('Honda'); CREATE TABLE cascadingselect_models ( model_id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, model_brand INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL, model_name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (model_id), KEY model_brand (model_brand) ); INSERT INTO cascadingselect_models (model_brand, model_name) VALUES (1, 'Fiesta'), (1, 'Focus'), (1, 'Mustang'), (2, 'Corolla'), (2, 'Hilux'), (2, 'Yaris'), (3, 'Civic'), (3, 'Fit'), (3, 'HR-V');Extra field settings:
Parent Table: cascadingselect_brands Parent Value Column: brand_id Parent Label Column: brand_name Dependent Table: cascadingselect_models Dependent Parent Column: model_brand Dependent Value Column: model_id Dependent Label Column: model_name

Downloads SHA-256 Checksum

Downloads SHA-256 Checksum automatically generates a SHA-256 checksum whenever a new Downloads file or version is uploaded. Members can view the checksums for each file and version and compare them with the checksum calculated from the file they downloaded. This helps verify that the downloaded file is identical to the file provided by the community and has not been altered or corrupted.
To calculate a SHA-256 checksum locally:
Windows (PowerShell):
Get-FileHash "filename.zip" -Algorithm SHA256Microsoft documentation: Get-FileHash — Microsoft Learn (Microsoft Learn)
Linux:
sha256sum filename.zipGNU documentation: SHA-2 utilities — GNU Coreutils (GNU)
Users can compare the generated SHA-256 value with the checksum displayed on the Downloads file page. If preferred, the checksum can also be calculated online using one of these tools:

Tag Manager

The native IPS tagging system is useful for organising content, but the administrative side of managing those tags can be unnecessarily time-consuming. Once hundreds or thousands of tags have accumulated, determining which ones are still useful and which can safely be removed becomes a manual task.
One of the biggest limitations is that there is no convenient way to see whether a tag is actually in use, how frequently it is being used, or where those uses are coming from.
Tag Manager provides a dedicated ACP interface designed specifically to make reviewing, investigating and cleaning up your community's tags faster, clearer and safer.
Instead of working through tags blindly, administrators can see usage information directly, sort tags by how frequently they are used, identify unused tags and investigate existing assignments before deciding whether anything should be removed.
Key Features
Tag usage counts
See how many times each tag is currently assigned across your community.
Find unused tags
Quickly identify tags with zero current uses instead of manually trying to determine whether they are still needed.
Sort by usage
Sort tags by the number of uses, making unused and rarely used tags much easier to find.
Alphabetical sorting
Sort tags by name when looking for particular tags or groups of similarly named tags.
Tag search
Search the tag database directly from the ACP.
Application usage information
See which IPS applications are responsible for the assignments associated with a tag.
View individual tag usage
Open a dedicated usage view to investigate where a particular tag is being used.
Usage status information
Tag Manager can help distinguish between normal assignments and situations where the associated application or content may no longer be available.
Native tag page links
Where supported, tags can be opened through the corresponding IPS tag page so related community content can be viewed directly.
Configurable pagination
Choose how many tags are displayed at once, making the interface suitable for both small and very large tag databases.
Easier Bulk Tag Management
Tag Manager becomes particularly useful on established communities where years of accumulated tags may include spelling mistakes, one-off tags, abandoned terminology, duplicate ideas or tags that are no longer relevant.
Administrators can select individual tags or multiple tags directly from the listing.
This makes it possible to work through a large database methodically instead of deleting tags individually through a slow manual process.
Before deletion takes place, Tag Manager provides a confirmation stage so that administrators can review what has been selected and how many tag assignments will be affected.
The intention is simple:
Find → Inspect → Select → Confirm → Delete

Safer Tag Deletion
Removing tags from an established community should not involve guesswork.
Tag Manager provides additional checks around the deletion process so administrators have an opportunity to inspect their selection before changes are made.
Features include:
Pre-deletion confirmation
Review the tags selected for removal before proceeding.
Assignment information
See how many existing tag assignments may be affected.
Bulk deletion support
Remove multiple unwanted tags in a controlled operation rather than processing them individually.
Selection verification
Tag Manager can verify the state of the selected tags before completing the cleanup.
Controlled cleanup
The application handles the relevant tag relationships as part of the removal process.
Content protection
Removing a tag does not delete the topic, record or other community content that previously used it.
This makes Tag Manager useful not only for finding unwanted tags, but for understanding what you are removing before you remove it.
Diagnostics & Safety Tests
Tag Manager also includes dedicated diagnostics for administrators who want to verify that tag detection and cleanup are operating correctly on their installation.
The diagnostic tools can perform checks against the native IPS tag system and can also use temporary test tags to confirm that the cleanup process behaves as expected.
These tests can include:
Creating a temporary unused tag.
Confirming that Tag Manager can detect it.
Removing it through the normal cleanup process.
Confirming that the temporary tag has been removed successfully.
Testing multiple temporary tags through the bulk cleanup process.
Running the available safety checks together.
Temporary diagnostic tags are created specifically for testing purposes and are not intentionally attached to existing community content.
Administrator Permissions
Tag Manager operates from within the AdminCP and supports administrative permissions.
This allows access to tag management and destructive actions to be controlled appropriately.
An administrator may therefore be permitted to inspect tag information without necessarily being given permission to delete tags.
Normal IPS security protections are also respected during destructive operations.
Why Use Tag Manager?
The native IPS tagging system works well when tags are being added to content.
Managing those tags afterwards is considerably less convenient.
On a long-running community, the tag database can gradually accumulate:
Unused tags
Misspelled tags
Duplicate or very similar tags
One-off tags
Tags belonging to old content
Tags associated with applications that are no longer active
Tags that simply no longer serve a useful purpose
Without usage information, deciding what can safely be removed becomes unnecessarily time-restrictive.
Tag Manager gives administrators the information and tools needed to clean up that database properly.
You can see what is being used, investigate where it is being used, identify what is no longer needed and remove unwanted tags through a much more practical ACP workflow.
Tag Manager is available completely free of charge.

English auctions
Traditional auctions where members place progressively higher bids.
Dutch auctions
The price decreases over time until a member accepts the current price.
Sealed-bid auctions
Members submit private bids which are not revealed during the auction.
Vickrey auctions
Sealed-bid auctions where the highest bidder wins but the final price is determined by the second-highest bid.
Reverse auctions
Members compete by submitting lower offers within the seller's maximum budget.
Other features include:
Proxy bidding
Reserve prices
Buy It Now
Anti-sniping
Multiple auction images with gallery
Bookmarks
Bid and auction history
Second-chance offers
Automatic winner selection
Scheduled, active, suspended, awaiting-payment, sold and unsold statuses
Relisting
Category-specific settings
The application also integrates with Invision Community Commerce. When an auction ends with a winner, an invoice can be generated automatically using the configured payment methods, taxes, commissions, and transaction fees.
A payment deadline can also be defined. If the winner does not complete payment within that period, the invoice can be cancelled, and the next eligible bidder can be promoted as the new winner.
Each category can independently control the available auction types and features, including duration limits, reserve prices, Buy It Now, proxy bidding, anti-sniping, relisting, second-chance offers, and the maximum number of active auctions per member.
Auctions provide a dedicated marketplace-style auction experience while remaining fully integrated with Invision Community and Commerce.

Member Recovery

Losing access to a community account should not mean losing years of contributions, friendships and membership history.
One of the most common frustrations for community administrators is members reporting that their password-reset emails never arrive. Messages may be rejected, filtered into spam, blocked by email providers, or sent to an email address the member can no longer access.
Traditional password recovery offers little help when the original email address is unavailable. Members become locked out, create duplicate accounts, or contact administrators directly requesting password or email changes.
Member Recovery provides a structured alternative to the standard password-reset process.
Members can submit a recovery request using a new email address they control, identify their original account, and communicate with administrators through a dedicated recovery case.
Administrators receive a centralised workspace for investigating requests, reviewing available email-delivery evidence, and following an ownership-verification process before authorising recovery.
✅ Protecting members against account theft.
A convincing email to an administrator should never be sufficient to take control of somebody else's account.
Member Recovery separates requesting assistance, verifying ownership, approving recovery and changing account credentials.
Knowing a username, previous email address, or account history does not automatically establish ownership.
Recovery requires verification through a previously enrolled recovery code and the appropriate staff approvals before account credentials can be changed.
Members should generate and securely store their recovery codes in Account Settings while they still have access to their accounts.
This provides an established verification method if they later lose access to their original email address.
Key features
Alternative account recovery: Dedicated recovery forms for missing password-reset emails, inaccessible email addresses, forgotten login details, and other sign-in problems.
Native IPS integration: Provides recovery assistance through the existing login and lost-password interfaces without replacing their native functionality.
Verified replacement email addresses: Members supply an accessible contact address and must verify control of it before proceeding.
Member recovery codes: Generate, regenerate, and revoke recovery codes through Account Settings. Codes are displayed once, stored as hashes, and consumed individually.
Protection against fraudulent requests: Account information and historical details are supporting evidence, never automatic proof of ownership.
Staff approval controls: Configurable approval requirements, including additional protection for administrator and MFA-protected accounts.
Email-delivery diagnostics: Investigate available mail failures, blocked addresses, sender configuration and transport issues without claiming to guarantee inbox delivery.
Centralised administrator dashboard: View recovery statistics, open cases, outstanding investigations and retention information.
Private recovery communication: Exchange messages through protected recovery cases, with separate internal notes for administrators.
Duplicate-account assistance: Identify possible matching accounts and previous recovery activity without automatically merging accounts or treating matches as ownership proof.
Controlled password and email recovery: Following successful verification and approval, issue a short-lived, single-use completion link to update credentials and invalidate existing sessions.
Security and privacy: Granular administrator permissions, rate limiting, encrypted sensitive information, case histories and configurable data retention.
Automated maintenance: Scheduled cleanup and runtime diagnostics help administrators maintain the recovery system.
An important distinction
Member Recovery does not simply allow administrators to reset passwords because somebody has emailed them asking for help.
It creates a controlled recovery process designed to help legitimate members regain access while reducing the risk of account takeover through impersonation or informal email requests.
The public recovery system requires administrator activation. Members must have enrolled recovery codes beforehand to complete the application's ownership-verification process.
Recover accounts with greater control, clearer evidence and stronger safeguards.

Patch Pilot

LIVE DEMO
Patch Pilot
Plan it. Fix it. Ship it.
Patch Pilot brings structured product development and release management directly into Invision Community 5. It gives your community and product team one shared workspace for collecting feedback, planning work, managing development workflows, preparing releases, and communicating progress.
Community members can report bugs, suggest features, and follow the work that matters to them, while Product Teams retain control over internal planning, assignments, verification, release readiness, and publication.
What It Does
Patch Pilot organizes development around three connected areas:
Products provide dedicated workspaces with their own teams, permissions, configuration, roadmap, known issues, and releases.
Work Items capture bugs, features, improvements, tasks, and documentation work using configurable fields and workflows.
Releases bring planned work, readiness checks, version history, and customer-facing release notes together.
Every Work Item belongs to a Product, follows a defined workflow, and can contribute directly to a Release.
Key Features
Product Workspaces and Teams
Create dedicated workspaces for each application, service, plugin, theme, or other deliverable you manage.
Product directory with cover photos, icons, descriptions, owners, and status
Public and permission-restricted Products
Product-specific teams organized by configurable roles
Public Product Team directory with member profile cards
Front-end Product management for authorized team members
Product submission and approval workflow
Safe default access permissions applied during Product creation
Product archiving, restoration, and guarded deletion controls
Flexible Work Item Tracking
Track the different kinds of work involved in maintaining a Product.
Bugs
Feature requests
Improvements
Development tasks
Documentation work
Configurable Work Item Types
Priorities and optional severities
Public and Product Team-only structured fields
Assignee and verifier tracking
Target Release, due date, and estimate planning
Affected In and Delivered In version history
Work Item participants
Internal Product Team notes
Related, duplicate, blocking, dependency, backport, and follow-up relationships
Immutable Change History
Each Work Item Type can control whether public submissions, planning votes, severity, roadmap placement, and other features are available.
Configurable Workflows
Build development processes that match the way your team actually works.
Reusable Workflows
Ordered Workflow States
Public roadmap-stage mappings
Directed state transitions
Role, group, reporter, assignee, and verifier authorization
Required assignee, verifier, Release, delivery record, or verification gates
Transition notes with meaningful prompts and descriptions
Audited state changes
Patch Pilot includes practical starting workflows for bugs, features, simple tasks, and documentation.
Native Community Participation
Patch Pilot’s Work Items use the native IPS content framework rather than operating as an isolated external tracker.
Native comments and reply forms
Reactions and comment moderation
Follow and Share controls
Content reporting
Hide, approve, pin, feature, and lock support
Search and activity-stream integration
Planning votes through the Support This Work Item action
Inline, email, and push notification preferences
Per-Product comment moderation settings
Public submissions can be enabled by Work Item Type, allowing customers to report an issue or propose an idea without becoming members of the Product Team.
Work Item Board
The Work Item Board provides a focused view of current development activity.
Filter and organize Work Items by:
Product
Work Item Type
Workflow State
Priority
Severity
Target Release
Submission and update date
Assignment and other planning information
Rows include clear type and state indicators, planning-vote totals, comment counts, and submitted and updated timestamps.
Release Planning and Readiness
Releases are first-class records with their own lifecycle and planning information.
Release channels and version numbers
Planned, active, released, and archived Releases
Target and released dates
Release manager assignment
Public or internal visibility
Planned and resolved Work Item totals
Completion progress
Automated blocker detection
Release Readiness Review
Audited launch overrides
The readiness panel helps answer the most important release question: What is preventing this Release from being delivered?
Release Checklists
Turn repeated release procedures into reusable checklists.
Reusable checklist templates
Ordered required and optional checks
Release-specific checklist snapshots
Assignees and completion notes
Checklist progress bars and completed/total statistics
Work Items linked directly to individual checks
Resolved/total linked-work progress
Warnings when completed checks still contain unresolved work
Required checks enforced as Release blockers
Work Items can be linked to checks from either the Release checklist or the Work Item form, keeping the process convenient for the team.
Release Notes
Compose polished customer-facing Release Notes from completed Work Items.
Configurable Release Note Sections
Work Item Type-to-section suggestions
Draft revisions
Generated entries from approved Delivered In work
Editable customer-facing snapshots
Manual entries
Entry ordering and exclusion
Deliberate source refresh
Immutable published revisions
Correction drafts without destroying previously published history
Internal Work Item descriptions, staff notes, assignments, and other restricted information are kept out of public Release Notes.
Public Roadmaps and Known Issues
Keep customers informed without exposing internal planning data.
Optional public Product roadmap
Configurable roadmap stages
Per-Work-Item roadmap visibility
Publicly approved Work Items only
Customer-safe roadmap cards
Dedicated Known Issues view
Permission-aware links and Product navigation
Internal estimates, assignments, discussions, private descriptions, and non-public Releases remain protected.
Product-Specific Configuration
Every Product can begin with administrator-managed baseline definitions while still adapting to its own needs.
Authorized Product managers can work with Product-specific:
Roles
Release channels
Priorities
Severities
Work Item Types
Structured Fields
Release Note Sections
Release Checklist Templates
Unused definitions can be hidden without deleting their history. Supported Product-created definitions can also be submitted to the Definition Library, where administrators may adopt them as baseline or optional definitions for future Products.
This allows individual Products to evolve without exposing another Product’s private configuration or weakening administrator control.
Dashboards and Notifications
The Product Dashboard provides an overview of activity across everything a member can access.
Product status summaries
Upcoming Release targets
Personal assignment and verification queues
Blocked work
Recent permission-safe activity
Product Team workload information
Pending Product approvals for authorized reviewers
Notifications cover assignments, verification, workflow changes, due dates, planning escalations, managed Releases, watched Work Items, and watched Products.

Use Cases
Patch Pilot is well suited for:
Software communities collecting bug reports and feature requests
Application and plugin developers managing public roadmaps
Product teams coordinating development and verification
Support communities turning customer reports into planned work
Teams preparing structured release checklists
Developers generating clear Release Notes from completed work
Organizations balancing public participation with private internal planning
Communities managing several independent Products from one installation
AdminCP Areas
Patch Pilot provides dedicated AdminCP management for:
Products, permissions, teams, lifecycle, and approval
Product Roles and capabilities
Release channels, priorities, severities, Work Item Types, Structured Fields, Release Note Sections, and checklist templates
Workflows, states, transitions, and roadmap stages
Product-submitted Definition Library reviews and adoption
Why It Stands Out
Patch Pilot is more than a bug tracker placed inside a community. It connects community feedback, Product Team planning, configurable workflows, verification, release readiness, and public communication in one continuous system.
Members can participate using their existing community accounts, while Product Teams receive the structured controls needed to move work from its first report through planning, development, verification, and final release.
Track the work. Prepare the release. Deliver with confidence.

Community Essentials

Community Essentials
Essential tools and enhancements to customize and improve your community experience.
Community Essentials is an application for Invision Community 5 that bundles multiple features into a single, lightweight package. Every feature has its own settings page in the AdminCP and works out of the box — no core file edits, no complicated setup.
Group Legend
A color-coded legend of your member groups, displayed as a sidebar widget. Admins pick which groups to show and drag them into the desired display order. Each group appears with its formatted name and color styling. Clicking a group name takes visitors to a member search filtered by that group.
Choose which groups appear in the legend
Drag-and-drop reordering
Sidebar widget with static caching for performance
Steam Group
Display your Steam community group's live information in a beautiful sidebar widget. Enter your Steam group's custom URL name or numeric ID, and the widget pulls live data from Steam's public feed. Toggle exactly which info to show and pick from four visual themes.
Four themes included: Steam (classic dark blue gradients and teal accents), Modern (clean light design with purple accents), Pulse (cyberpunk HUD style with terminal-style stat readouts and scan line animations), and Aurora (hero banner with animated gradient background, orbiting avatar ring, and shimmer text).
Configurable elements you can toggle on/off: Group Name, Group Avatar, Total Members, Members Online, Members In Game, Members In Chat, Join Group Button.
Now Playing
Let members showcase what they're listening to or watching directly on their profile page. Members paste a YouTube or Spotify link on a dedicated settings page. When someone visits their profile, they see an embedded player with a branded header (platform icon + "Now Playing" label). An optional autoplay toggle lets the music start automatically.
Supports YouTube (videos, shorts, music, embeds) and Spotify (tracks, albums, playlists, episodes).
For members: dedicated settings page, autoplay toggle, "Now Playing" button in the profile header for quick access, and a "Set Now Playing" prompt on their own profile when no URL is set (invisible to others).
For admins: set a default URL that shows on profiles of members who haven't picked their own, control which member groups can use the feature, and add it to the site's main navigation menu. Spotify embeds automatically adjust their height — compact for single tracks, taller for albums and playlists.
