Who to Follow

Who To Follow adds a widget that suggests members to follow, helping users discover and connect with other members of your community. Members can follow suggested users with a single click. Once followed, the member is automatically replaced with another suggestion via AJAX, without reloading the page.
The widget offers several options to customize suggestions, including member groups, recent activity, minimum content count, reputation, and account age. Suggestions can be displayed randomly or sorted by activity, content count, reputation, or registration date.
You can also choose how many members to display. The widget respects the native IPS5 following permissions and requires no additional database tables.

Report Center Search

This application adds a search field to the Reported Content section of the Moderator Control Panel.
Moderators can search reports by:
Report ID
Content ID*
Author: Member ID or display name
Reported By: Member ID or display name
Report Content: Text included in the report
The search field is integrated into the existing toolbar and works alongside the native sorting and filtering options.
Search by Content Title
Reports do not store the title of the reported content. Retrieving it requires loading the original content item, which can belong to different applications and content types. Searching by title would therefore be more complex and potentially affect performance, especially on busy communities.

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:
Public Tools: https://public.tools/file-checksum
Finite Field: https://finitefield.org/en/tools/security/sha256-generator/

Auctions

Auctions is a complete auction system for Invision Community, allowing members to create and participate in different types of auctions directly from your community. The application supports five auction formats:
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.
