Arcade

Arcade

A proper arcade for your community. 51 games in the box, real leaderboards, member duels, over 3000+ imported games or upload your own.
You install it and the arcade is already full. 51 HTML5 games ship in the download, sorted into Action, Classics, Puzzle, Skill and Cards, every one of them license cleared, mobile fitted and wired to a working leaderboard from the first minute. No empty shell to fill in yourself.

The games
51 bundled HTML5 games included in the download, playable the moment you install. Nothing to download separately, nothing hosted on someone else's server.
Import thousands more through the built in providers: GamePix, Gamezop, GameMonetize, OnlineGames, HTMLGames and MadKidGames. Point it at a provider, browse the catalog, and bring games in with their artwork.
Upload your own game packs as zip files. Pack folders carry a manifest, so the same folder installs whether it ships in the download or gets uploaded later. Your imported packs live outside the app folder, so an app update never wipes them.
One click image backfill for any imported game that came in without a thumbnail, so your grid never has blank tiles.
More game packs coming from me in the near future.

Scores, champions and the scoreboard
A leaderboard on every game, weekly best and all time. Your own rank is highlighted even when you are sitting outside the top five, so there is always a number to beat.
Champions and crowns. Hold the top score on a game and you hold its crown. The Hall of Fame shows who wears the most.
A live scoreboard on the arcade home page showing scores as they land and who is playing right now, refreshed on an interval you set. No page reload needed.
Newest Champions and Most Played feeds so the arcade always feels active.

Members competing with each other
Challenges and duels. A member can throw down a one on one duel or open a challenge anyone can join, on any game, for a set number of days.
Credit wagers. If you run the Credits app, challengers can stake credits. The opponent matches the stake to accept, and the winner takes the pot. Fully optional, and it degrades gracefully if you do not use credits. More app bridges coming soon (Questline, etc.)
Automatic forum topics. Every challenge that goes live can post a topic in a forum you choose, and the result gets posted as a reply when it ends. You pick which forum and which account posts them.
Nudges. A quick poke to a friend, or a call out to the current champion that their throne is up for grabs. Small social hooks that keep people coming back.

Talk about the games
Discussions under every game. Members post score screenshots, react, quote, mention each other, and the whole thing uses the same comment system as the rest of your community. Reports, edits, deletes and staff moderation all work exactly the way your team already expects.
This matters most for imported provider games that do not expose a score. Even without a leaderboard, the game still has a lively discussion under it.
Reactions on the games themselves, so a great game can rack up likes the same as any other content.

Rewards and light monetization
Reward members for playing. With the Credits app connected, playing a game can pay out credits, with a daily cap per member per game so nobody farms it.
Charge to play if you would rather gate certain games behind a credit cost. Your call, per game.
Your own launch promos. Show one of your own text blurbs on the launch screen before a game starts, for a couple of seconds. This is your promo, your link, your wording.

In the Admin CP
Analytics dashboard with plays today, this week and all time, scores, distinct players, crowns awarded and open reports, a 30 day activity chart, and a per game table with champions and sparklines.
Bulk game management to move, enable or disable many games at once, built for the day you import a big batch into the wrong category.
Categories, settings, interstitial promos and the provider importer, all native ACP pages using the standard forms and tables.
Broken game alerts so your team hears about a reported game.

Fair warning: Provider games & larger TAR file
Provider games almost never hand their score back to the page, and I am not going to pretend otherwise. Arcade ships a passive listener called Score Radar that watches for a score signal while members play an imported game. If a game does broadcast (but very rarely), the radar reports it in the ACP and you can confirm it to switch on a real leaderboard for that game. If a game stays silent after a number of plays, the ACP tells you plainly that it will never be captured. I scanned thousands of provider titles building this, and the honest result is that the bundled and packed games are your leaderboard content. The imported ones are there for volume and for the discussion threads. Radar is there so that on the day a provider does expose a score, you can use it. Additionally, the TAR file is 12.6MB big. Make sure your upload limits are raised as it's default 8MB.

Requirements
Invision Community 5
The Credits app is optional. Wagers, play rewards and play costs use it if it is installed. Everything else works without it.


Beta
This is a public beta. What I want from a beta is real installs on real communities so the edges I cannot see get found. If you buy in during beta you get the app at its beta price, every update through to the stable release, and a direct line to me for anything that breaks or anything you want added. Tell me what your members do with it.

Top Board

Top Board

Nobody scrolls past a board that moves
Topboard puts a live activity board at the top of your community: the newest posts, discussions heating up right now, your most active members, and sponsored slots you can sell to help fund it all.
It refreshes itself while people read, and turns some of the most valuable screen space on your site into something members watch and sponsors can pay for.
Demo: https://demo.invisionite.com/

The problem
A forum index is a list of containers. The actual life of your community, the reply posted forty seconds ago, the topic that suddenly took off, the member on a posting streak, is buried one click deeper.
Visitors land on your busiest page and see furniture.
Monetizing that page is its own headache. Banner ads look like ads, so people learn to ignore them or block them outright. Selling placements manually means invoices, start dates in spreadsheets, expiry dates to remember, and renewal reminders someone eventually forgets to send.
Topboard fixes both halves: it surfaces the activity and runs the sponsorship pipeline for you.

Three looks, one widget
Every widget instance gets its own style:
Native Feed: clean stacked rows that feel like part of the rest of your community.
Classic Table: the column-based statistics board forum veterans remember, with topic, forum, replies, views, activity, and last poster. On phones it restacks into tidy rows instead of forcing a sideways scroll.
Spotlight: card-based headline slots with full-image sponsor cards and text overlaid on the artwork.

Eight tabs, plus two of your own
New posts, New topics, Featured, Latest files, Trending, Most replies, Most viewed, and Most reacted.
Choose the tabs you want for each widget, set the number of items, and limit them to selected forums if needed.
You can also add up to two custom tabs with your own label and forum selection. An Introductions tab for greeters, a Marketplace tab for traders, or whatever fits your community.
Trending and Most reacted rank content within a time window you control, so they reward what is happening now instead of what happened in 2019.

Alive without a reload
A countdown sits in the tab bar and Topboard refreshes itself on schedule while keeping the reader on the tab they were viewing. Impatient members get a manual refresh button too.
Members who do not care about the board can collapse it into a slim strip. The Top Members panel folds away separately, letting the activity area use the full width.
Both choices are remembered per device.
A collapsed board also stops refreshing and stops counting impressions. No wasted requests and no phantom ad views.

Headline slots
Above the tabs sit your promoted rows: pinned topics you want seen and sponsored placements you have sold, each with its own label chip.
A slot can point to an internal topic or work as a completely standalone external ad with its own title, description, link, and image.
Images appear as neat thumbnails in Native Feed and Classic Table, and become full-image cards in Spotlight.
Sponsored slots can also be hidden from selected member groups, which gives you an easy premium perk: upgrade and the ads disappear.

Monetize the app without any effort
With Commerce installed, Topboard becomes self-service advertising.
You create the packages: price, duration, slot type, label, and an optional Most popular highlight.
Members buy through the campaign storefront, pay using your normal Commerce checkout, and then submit the topic or advertisement they want to promote through a guided form.
Nothing goes live automatically. Every submission goes through staff approval first.
Once approved, Topboard handles the schedule. Campaigns start, run, expire, and become available for renewal without you tracking dates manually.

Numbers a sponsor can trust
Impressions are counted from the reader's browser, deduplicated per visitor with a cooldown, and only counted while the board is actually visible on screen.
Clicks pass through a tracked redirect.
Every slot gets daily impression and click data alongside its lifetime totals.
Sponsors see their own report card at /campaigns, with stat tiles, click-through rate, a 14-day chart, and a renewal button that extends an active campaign or relaunches an expired one through normal checkout.
You get the same picture across the entire site in the ACP Performance dashboard: totals, a 30-day chart, and every campaign with its own sparkline.

Top members included
A ranked member panel, based on posts or reputation, sits beside the activity tabs like the classic statistics boxes many communities used for years.
A standalone Top Members widget is included for sidebars too.

In short
Topboard is a live, tabbed activity board with three display styles, eight activity sources, custom forum tabs, a Top Members panel, and promoted headline slots.
Behind it sits impression and click tracking, self-service Commerce campaigns with staff approval, sponsor-facing performance charts and renewals, and an ACP dashboard that shows you the whole picture.
The front of your community, finally earning its keep.

Conversations Enchanced

Conversations Enchanced

Nothing malicious slips through your inbox unseen
Conversations Enhanced puts moderation and accountability around the one part of your community nobody can see: private messages.
Hold new messages for review before they reach anyone. Watch for the words that matter to you. Catch the link-stuffed blast sent to twenty members by an account that registered an hour ago.
And when fellow admins genuinely need to read a conversation, make them say why and keep a record of it.

The problem
Every other kind of content on your site has moderation behind it. Posts get reported, topics get locked, and files get approved.
Private messages have none of that.
A scammer who has been quietly working your members for a week looks exactly like a member who has been helping people for a year, right up until the chargebacks start.
Conversations Enhanced closes that gap without turning your community into a surveillance state.

Approval before delivery
When a message is held, it is genuinely held.
The native conversation is never created, the recipients never see it, and no notification goes out. The sender receives a notice written by you explaining that their message is waiting for review.
Reviewers work from a queue in the AdminCP, filtered by waiting, approved, or declined, with quick search across everything.
Approve it and the conversation is created and delivered as normal. Decline it and it never existed.
You choose who can review held messages, and reviewer groups can be emailed the moment something enters the queue.

Hold messages based on how they look
Hold messages based on their shape rather than only their author:
Too many links
Too many recipients at once
An account too new to have earned the benefit of the doubt
Each threshold is independent and remains disabled until you turn it on.
A member writing to one or two people is normal. A first message sent to twenty people is not.
All conditions work together. A held message shows every reason it was held, not just the first one triggered.

The review screen
Opening a held message shows reviewers everything they need to make a decision.
They can see the recipients, submission time, and a badge for each reason the message was held. Matched terms are highlighted directly inside the message body, so reviewers do not have to hunt for the word that triggered the hold.
The screen also provides a short history of the sender:
How long they have been a member
Their post count
How many messages they have had held before
How many of those messages were declined
That context matters.
A first-time hold from a three-year member reads very differently from the fourth hold this week on an account registered on Tuesday.

Oversight, with the receipts
Sometimes staff have a genuine reason to read a conversation: a harassment report, a scam investigation, or a legal request.
Conversations Enhanced makes that possible and makes it accountable.
Every conversation on the site is searchable by title, participants, message count, and activity date, with proper filtering and date ranges.
When a staff member opens a private conversation, they must provide a reason. That access is recorded, creating a clear audit trail of who accessed the conversation and why.

Retention you control
A message still waiting for a decision is never deleted, no matter how old it becomes. An ignored moderation queue cannot quietly drain itself.
Purging members’ real conversations is possible too, but it sits behind a separate setting with its own warning because it deletes real member data and cannot be undone.

Moderation
Reviewers receive a Pending Messages tab in the Moderator Control Panel, along with a count badge in the mobile footer beside the rest of the navigation. It is sized and styled to match the existing interface.
Members with a message under review receive their own page showing its current status.
Notifications and emails run through the native systems, so they respect the preferences members have already configured.

Perfect for
Communities that trade, sell, or handle money
The scam almost always starts with a private message.
Sites with younger members
A quiet reminder that private conversations may be reviewed when necessary can be worth more than a policy page nobody reads.
Communities discussing staff access to private messages
It provides an answer better than: “The database administrator can, technically.”
Staff teams looking for patterns
Catch suspicious behaviour in a moderation queue instead of reading about it in a public topic three weeks later.

In short
Conversations Enhanced gives private messages the same moderation, visibility, and accountability that every other part of your community already has.
It provides approval before delivery, watched words with per-word actions, conditional holds based on links, recipient counts, and account age, audited staff oversight, and retention controls you manage.

Commissions

Commissions

Custom work for your community, from first request to five-star review
Commissions is a complete provider directory and client work pipeline for Invision Community v5.
Showcase the people who build for your community, allow members and guests to request custom work through a guided intake process, send quotes, collect payment through Commerce or externally, deliver the work, and gather the reviews that help providers win their next job.
Full demo on https://administrata.net/commissions/

How it works
Providers apply and you decide who gets approved.
Approved providers appear in a public directory alongside their services, portfolio, rating, and Software Marketplace listings. Anyone who needs work completed can choose a specific provider or submit a general request.
After completing a short intake form, the client enters a private request thread where the entire job takes place:
Initial discussion
Scope and quotation
Quote acceptance
Payment
Work in progress
Delivery
Client review
Every step remains visible in one place. A progress tracker at the top of each request shows exactly where the job stands, while an activity timeline records every status change, quotation, acceptance, and payment event.
Nobody has to ask, “Where are we with this?”

The provider directory
The directory hub welcomes visitors with live statistics, including:
The number of approved providers
Their average rating
The number of available services
Featured providers receive distinctive cards with a colour rail automatically generated from the services they offer. Every provider card feels different without requiring anyone to design it manually.

Complete provider profiles
Every approved provider receives a dedicated public profile containing:
A sticky identity panel with their avatar, headline, star rating, availability, and services
A rich-text About section using the full Invision editor
An unlimited portfolio with real image uploads
Their Software Marketplace files
Reviews from completed work
A prominent Request work button that starts a job with them in two clicks

Public service pages
Services are created and managed by administrators in the ACP. Each service can have its own colour and description.
Every service also receives a dedicated public landing page containing:
A tinted service hero
Live trust and activity statistics
Providers offering that service
The latest relevant review
Structured data for search engines
Aggregate star-rating data
Nine services means nine search-friendly landing pages that you never have to write or maintain manually.

The request pipeline
Requests are built as native Invision content items.
That means every request conversation includes the functionality your members already understand:
Replies
Editing and edit history
Deletion
Reactions
Reporting
Attachments through the standard editor

A flexible intake form
You control the request intake form.
Create fields in the ACP, decide which ones are required, and choose which field becomes the request title. Clients can upload screenshots, specifications, archives, documents, and other supporting files directly with their request.

Full guest access
Guests are treated as first-class clients.
When a guest submits a request, they receive a private magic link by email. That link becomes their key to the entire request thread.
Without creating an account, guests can:
Read provider replies
Respond to the conversation
Accept or decline quotations
Follow the progress of the job
Leave a review after delivery
Access control is enforced server-side for every action.

My Requests portal
Registered members receive a dedicated My Requests portal where they can follow all their active and completed work.
Each request page includes:
A clickable progress tracker covering New, Reviewing, Quoted, Accepted, In Progress, and Delivered
The complete intake submission and attachments
The client-provider conversation
Visually accented provider replies
An activity timeline of status changes, quotations, and payments
Internal notes visible only to staff and the assigned provider

Quotes and payments
When the scope is clear, the provider can send a formal quotation containing:
The quoted amount
The currency
What is included
Payment instructions
The client can accept or decline the quote directly from the request page, including guest clients using their magic link.

Three payment methods
Administrators control which payment methods are available.
Arranged manually
Suitable for bank transfers, cash payments, existing client arrangements, or any payment handled outside the community.
External payment link
Providers can supply a PayPal, Stripe, payment portal, or invoice URL.
Commerce invoice
Accepting the quotation generates a real Commerce invoice. The client is sent directly to checkout, and the quote is automatically marked as paid when the invoice payment is completed.

Reviews that mean something
Delivering a request triggers a review invitation, both on the request page and by email.
The client can rate the provider out of five stars and describe their experience. Reviews are automatically included in the provider’s public rating and displayed throughout the directory wherever that provider appears.

Legacy reviews
Members can also review work completed before Commissions was installed.
Legacy reviews are held for staff approval before publication, preventing providers from fabricating an established track record.
When a review is hidden or deleted, the provider’s rating is recalculated immediately.

The provider dashboard
Providers manage their work and public presence from a single dashboard.

Business overview
The dashboard includes statistic tiles for:
Requests awaiting a reply
Open jobs
Work currently in progress
The provider’s average rating

Work queue
Requests are ordered by how long the client has been waiting, with clear Awaiting your reply indicators so providers immediately know where their attention is needed.

Profile and portfolio management
Providers can also manage:
Their public profile
Their rich-text About section
Their availability
Their services
Their service ordering
Their portfolio images and entries
Service ordering controls the provider’s card colours and badge order throughout the community without requiring a separate drag-and-drop interface.

Automatic reminders
A daily background task keeps the pipeline moving.
It can:
Remind providers about requests awaiting their reply
Re-invite clients to review delivered work
Automatically close delivered requests after a configurable period
Each reminder and closure window can be configured independently.

Providers across your community
Approved providers remain visible beyond the directory.
They receive:
A teal Provider badge on their member profile, beside See my activity
A Provider chip in forum posts, supported in both classic and slim post layouts
A Provider button on their member hovercard
Every badge and button links directly to the provider’s public profile.
That turns every useful post they make into a quiet advertisement for their services.

Notifications
Commissions uses the notification system with both inline and email delivery, supported by dedicated email templates.
Clients are notified about
New replies
Request status changes
New quotations
Payment updates
Review invitations
Providers are notified about
New requests
Client replies

Custom work for your community, from first request to five-star review
Commissions is a complete provider directory and client work pipeline for Invision Community v5.
Showcase the people who build for your community, allow members and guests to request custom work through a guided intake process, send quotes, collect payment through Commerce or externally, deliver the work, and gather the reviews that help providers win their next job.
Full demo on https://administrata.net/commissions/

How it works
Providers apply and you decide who gets approved.
Approved providers appear in a public directory alongside their services, portfolio, rating, and Software Marketplace listings. Anyone who needs work completed can choose a specific provider or submit a general request.
After completing a short intake form, the client enters a private request thread where the entire job takes place:
Initial discussion
Scope and quotation
Quote acceptance
Payment
Work in progress
Delivery
Client review
Every step remains visible in one place. A progress tracker at the top of each request shows exactly where the job stands, while an activity timeline records every status change, quotation, acceptance, and payment event.
Nobody has to ask, “Where are we with this?”

The provider directory
The directory hub welcomes visitors with live statistics, including:
The number of approved providers
Their average rating
The number of available services
Featured providers receive distinctive cards with a colour rail automatically generated from the services they offer. Every provider card feels different without requiring anyone to design it manually.

Complete provider profiles
Every approved provider receives a dedicated public profile containing:
A sticky identity panel with their avatar, headline, star rating, availability, and services
A rich-text About section using the full Invision editor
An unlimited portfolio with real image uploads
Their Software Marketplace files
Reviews from completed work
A prominent Request work button that starts a job with them in two clicks

Public service pages
Services are created and managed by administrators in the ACP. Each service can have its own colour and description.
Every service also receives a dedicated public landing page containing:
A tinted service hero
Live trust and activity statistics
Providers offering that service
The latest relevant review
Structured data for search engines
Aggregate star-rating data
Nine services means nine search-friendly landing pages that you never have to write or maintain manually.

The request pipeline
Requests are built as native Invision content items.
That means every request conversation includes the functionality your members already understand:
Replies
Editing and edit history
Deletion
Reactions
Reporting
Attachments through the standard editor

A flexible intake form
You control the request intake form.
Create fields in the ACP, decide which ones are required, and choose which field becomes the request title. Clients can upload screenshots, specifications, archives, documents, and other supporting files directly with their request.

Full guest access
Guests are treated as first-class clients.
When a guest submits a request, they receive a private magic link by email. That link becomes their key to the entire request thread.
Without creating an account, guests can:
Read provider replies
Respond to the conversation
Accept or decline quotations
Follow the progress of the job
Leave a review after delivery
Access control is enforced server-side for every action.

My Requests portal
Registered members receive a dedicated My Requests portal where they can follow all their active and completed work.
Each request page includes:
A clickable progress tracker covering New, Reviewing, Quoted, Accepted, In Progress, and Delivered
The complete intake submission and attachments
The client-provider conversation
Visually accented provider replies
An activity timeline of status changes, quotations, and payments
Internal notes visible only to staff and the assigned provider

Quotes and payments
When the scope is clear, the provider can send a formal quotation containing:
The quoted amount
The currency
What is included
Payment instructions
The client can accept or decline the quote directly from the request page, including guest clients using their magic link.

Three payment methods
Administrators control which payment methods are available.
Arranged manually
Suitable for bank transfers, cash payments, existing client arrangements, or any payment handled outside the community.
External payment link
Providers can supply a PayPal, Stripe, payment portal, or invoice URL.
Commerce invoice
Accepting the quotation generates a real Commerce invoice. The client is sent directly to checkout, and the quote is automatically marked as paid when the invoice payment is completed.

Reviews that mean something
Delivering a request triggers a review invitation, both on the request page and by email.
The client can rate the provider out of five stars and describe their experience. Reviews are automatically included in the provider’s public rating and displayed throughout the directory wherever that provider appears.

Legacy reviews
Members can also review work completed before Commissions was installed.
Legacy reviews are held for staff approval before publication, preventing providers from fabricating an established track record.
When a review is hidden or deleted, the provider’s rating is recalculated immediately.

The provider dashboard
Providers manage their work and public presence from a single dashboard.

Business overview
The dashboard includes statistic tiles for:
Requests awaiting a reply
Open jobs
Work currently in progress
The provider’s average rating

Work queue
Requests are ordered by how long the client has been waiting, with clear Awaiting your reply indicators so providers immediately know where their attention is needed.

Profile and portfolio management
Providers can also manage:
Their public profile
Their rich-text About section
Their availability
Their services
Their service ordering
Their portfolio images and entries
Service ordering controls the provider’s card colours and badge order throughout the community without requiring a separate drag-and-drop interface.

Automatic reminders
A daily background task keeps the pipeline moving.
It can:
Remind providers about requests awaiting their reply
Re-invite clients to review delivered work
Automatically close delivered requests after a configurable period
Each reminder and closure window can be configured independently.

Advanced Forms & Surveys

Advanced Forms & Surveys

Ask your community anything, and actually understand the answers.
Advanced Surveys & Forms is a complete survey, intake, and application system for Invision Community v5. Build unlimited forms with branching logic, collect responses through a guided flow your members will actually finish, and turn the results into clean charts that can be shown publicly, after submission, after closing, or to staff only.
How it works
Create a form, place it in a category, and add questions through the visual builder. Members find it in the hub, complete it step by step, and depending on your settings, either see the results right away or simply move on. Staff can watch responses roll in, chart them in a way that makes sense, and export the raw data whenever needed.
Every form runs in one of two modes. A Survey gathers opinions and presents the results as charts. An Intake form collects structured information without the results-page framing. Enable application review and that same form becomes a full reviewable application, with staff approvals, group changes, and applicant notifications.
The member experience
Long forms get abandoned. This one does not feel long.
Instead of dumping twenty fields onto a single page, Advanced Surveys presents one question at a time, with a progress bar, a clear “Question 4 of 12” counter, and Back and Next controls. Members always know how far they have to go, can answer at their own pace, and are never overwhelmed by a wall of inputs.
The flow includes:
A live progress bar and step counter
Required-question protection, so mandatory answers are not skipped by accident
An estimated completion time and question count up front
An anonymous badge when responses are not tied to a name
Category color theming and fa icons so each form feels connected to its section
Conditional questions appear inline the moment they become relevant, directly after the answer that triggers them.
Question types
Eleven question types cover just about anything you would want to ask:
Single choice
Multiple choice
Dropdown
Rating
Short text
Long text
Number
Date
Email
File upload
Info text and page breaks for structure and instructions
Each question can be marked required, given help text, and reordered in the builder.
Branching and conditional logic
This is where it stops being a plain form.
Any question can be shown only when other answers match. Open the conditional visibility panel, choose whether to match All or Any conditions, and build rules like “show this question when Role is Content Contributor” or “when Country is not United States.” Conditions support “is” and “is not,” multiple rules at once, and any choice-based question as a trigger.
The logic runs live as the member fills in the form, and it is enforced again on the server. A required question that was never shown will not block a valid submission, while a required question that was shown must still be answered.
Results as charts
When a form closes, or the moment a member submits, the results page turns raw responses into something readable.
Every question can be charted independently. Pick the style per question or let the system choose automatically:
Horizontal bars and columns
Doughnut and pie charts
100% stacked bars
Ranked lists and data tables
Big number and NPS score
Review summaries for ratings
Emoji faces and word clouds
Charts are rendered with a bundled charting library, so there are no external calls and nothing extra to configure. Prefer the raw numbers? Export any form’s responses to CSV in one click.
Who sees the results
You decide, per form:
Public, visible to anyone who can see the form
After submit, unlocked once a member responds
After close, held back until the form closes
Staff only, kept private for your team
Category permissions can also grant a dedicated results permission, letting specific groups see outcomes without opening them to everyone.
Turn a survey into an application
Advanced Surveys also doubles as a full application system, perfect for staff recruitment, club membership, event signups, or anything that needs a human decision.
Enable application review on a form and its behavior changes:
Submissions go into a review queue instead of a results chart
A reviewer group you choose can approve, reject, and leave a private message
Administrators can always review applications
On approval, the applicant can be added to a secondary group automatically
The applicant is notified of the decision, inline and by email, along with any message the reviewers left
Applications to review queue in the AdminCP, plus a compact question-and-answer review panel with applicant details and a status badge. Applicants get their own “My applications” view, where they can see exactly what they submitted and whether it is pending, approved, or not accepted.
Categories and permissions
Forms live in categories with nesting, drag ordering, colors, and icons. Every category carries the standard Invision permission matrix, so you control who can view, who can respond, and who can see results section by section.
Guests can be allowed or blocked globally, and any form can require sign-in on its own.
Response controls
Fine-tune how each form behaves:
Require login, or allow guests
One response per member, or allow repeats
Set a cooldown before a member can respond again
Schedule opening and closing dates
Show a custom confirmation message after submission
Notifications
Advanced Surveys uses the notification system, with inline, email, and push support. Members and staff can be notified about:
New responses on a form they own or manage
A survey closing soon
Results becoming available
A new application waiting for review
An application being approved
An application being rejected
A background task handles closing reminders and results notifications automatically.
Built into Invision, not beside it
Global search and activity stream integration
Following, with notifications on new activity
Moderation, hiding, and reporting through the standard tools
A followable, permission-aware hub with a hero and live stats for open forms, total responses, and completed counts
A Recent Surveys widget you can place anywhere blocks are supported, including Pages layouts
Admin control panel
Visual question builder with question type, required toggle, help text, reordering, and conditional visibility
Cross-form application review queue
Category management with permissions, colors, and icons
Per-question chart selection on the results side
CSV export of responses
Settings for guest access, per-page counts, and the member-facing applications link
Granular admin restrictions for forms, categories, and settings, so you can give staff exactly the access they need
Perfect for
Advanced Surveys & Forms is ideal for:
Community feedback and opinion polls that deserve more than a one-line poll
Staff recruitment and volunteer applications, end to end
Club membership and event intake
Onboarding questionnaires with branching that adapts to each member
Teams that want clean, shareable charts instead of another spreadsheet
Communities that need some answers public and others locked to staff
Advanced Surveys & Forms 1.0 is just the start. Need a question type or workflow it does not cover yet? Let me know.

Questline

Questline

Give your members a reason to show up every day.
Questline is a quest engine for Invision Community v5. It turns the things your members already do, posting, replying, reacting, joining clubs, uploading files, and more, into quests with XP, levels, rewards, and leaderboards.
You decide what counts, where it counts, and what it pays. Members accept a quest, complete the required actions, and Questline tracks their progress automatically.
How it works
Quests are opt-in. A member picks a quest from the hub, it takes up one of their available quest slots, and from that moment their activity starts counting toward the objectives.
Complete the objectives and the rewards are paid out instantly, with a notification to match.
The slot limit is what makes it feel intentional. Members have to choose what they are working on, instead of passively collecting progress for everything at once. You decide how many active quest slots each group gets.
Quest types
Five quest types cover the full rhythm of a community:
Daily quests that reset every day and build habits
Weekly quests that reset every Monday for bigger goals
Seasonal quests that run during scheduled events
One-shot quests for permanent challenges and milestones
Questlines that chain multiple steps into a guided journey
Includes filter chips for every quest type, active quest cards, progress bars, rewards, availability windows.
Objectives that understand your community
Building a quest only takes a few minutes. Pick what the member needs to do, set how many times they need to do it, and optionally choose where it should count.
Questline includes a wide range of actions out of the box, including:
Starting topics
Posting replies
Replying in distinct topics
Giving and receiving reactions
Getting marked as a solution
Following forums or members
Completing a profile
Uploading a profile photo
Voting in polls
Starting conversations
Visiting on separate days
Joining clubs
Creating or RSVP’ing to calendar events
Publishing blog entries
Uploading Gallery images
Submitting Downloads files
Objectives can also be scoped to specific areas. For example, “post 5 replies in Introductions or Support” is just a dropdown away.
Supported integrations appear automatically when the matching app is installed, including Gallery, Downloads, Blogs, Calendar, Clubs, Contests, Academy, and Credits. Third-party developers can also register their own custom quest actions. See spoiler below.
Progress is tracked through IPS listeners in real time, with a nightly task pass as a safety net.
Rewards
Questline can reward members with:
XP, which feeds Questline’s own level ladder
Achievement points, paid into the core IPS system
Badges from your existing badge library
Credits, if you use the Credits economy
Levels are fully configurable. You control the XP thresholds, level names, and badge awards. Questline also ships with a ready-made level ladder, so it works from day one. But feel free to adjust as you prefer of course.
Questlines
Questlines are the onboarding tool your community has been missing.
Chain multiple steps together, each with its own objectives and rewards, and members move through a visual journey page with a connected timeline: completed, current, and locked.
The included Welcome Journey helps new members complete their profile, start their first topic, and post their first replies. A dismissible banner can suggest the journey to anyone who has not started it yet.
Seasonal events
Schedule an event, attach quests to it, and set a meta reward.
Members complete enough event quests before the deadline, and the bonus pays out automatically. The quest index shows a live event banner with each member’s personal progress, and every event also gets its own leaderboard scope.
Summer festival, launch week, holiday drive, anniversary event, whatever fits your community calendar or niche.
Leaderboards
Questline also includes a monthly season ladder.
Movement arrows show who climbed and who slipped since last week
NEW markers highlight fresh entries
Monthly XP is shown up front
All-time XP is shown alongside it
Event leaderboards and an all-time board are included
A member’s own row stays pinned, even when they are not on the current page
Seasons reset every month, so last year’s most active members do not permanently own the leaderboard.
Member profiles and widgets
Members can follow their progress across the community.
A Quests profile tab shows level, XP progress, completed quests, and recent rewards
Notifications are sent for quest completions, level-ups, and event rewards
Inline, email, and push notifications are supported
Widgets include My Active Quests, Top Questers, and Event Progress
The widgets can be placed on any page, including Pages layouts.
Admin Control Panel
Questline gives admins full control without making the setup feel technical.
Quest builder with FA icon picker, availability windows, and per-group eligibility
Objective editor with simple dropdown-based setup
Overview screen showing member levels, XP, completions, and participation
Full activity ledger showing who earned what, and when
Searchable member activity by name
Event management
Level management
Quest slot settings per group
Feature toggles for points, credits, leaderboards, and more
Demo content installs by default, including starter quests, a seasonal event, and the level ladder, so the quest index is never empty after installation.
Perfect for
Questline is ideal for:
Communities fighting the lurker problem
New member onboarding
Seasonal campaigns and launch events
Giving specific forums or clubs more activity
Credits-based communities that want XP and currency working together
Communities where “most active member” should actually mean something
Questline 1.0 is just the start. Have a feature you need? Let me know.

Adding your own quest actions from another app
Questline exposes a QuestAction extension type. Once Questline is installed, it appears in the Developer Center's extension list for your own app like any core extension type, and generates a ready-made stub.
1. Register the extension. Create applications/yourapp/extensions/questline/QuestAction/YourApp.php and list it in your app's data/extensions.json:
"questline": { "QuestAction": { "YourApp": "IPS\\yourapp\\extensions\\questline\\QuestAction\\YourApp" } }2. Describe your actions. The class returns Definition objects: a unique key, a language key for the label admins see, an optional container class (node or content item) if the action can be scoped to "where", a dedup mode, and an optional recount closure:
class YourApp { public function definitions() : array { if ( !\IPS\Application::appIsEnabled( 'yourapp' ) ) { return []; } return [ new \IPS\questline\Action\Definition( 'yourapp_thing_created', 'questline_action_yourapp_thing_created', 'IPS\yourapp\Category', \IPS\questline\Action\Definition::DEDUP_ITEM, function( \IPS\questline\Progress $progress, \IPS\questline\Objective $objective ) : int { $where = [ [ 'thing_author=? AND thing_date>=?', $progress->member, $progress->accepted ] ]; if ( count( $ids = $objective->containerIds() ) ) { $where[] = [ \IPS\Db::i()->in( 'thing_category', $ids ) ]; } return (int) \IPS\Db::i()->select( 'COUNT(*)', 'yourapp_things', $where )->first(); } ), ]; } }That alone is a working integration: the action shows up in the quest builder's "What must the member do?" dropdown, your categories appear by name in the "Where?" picker, and Questline's nightly reconciliation counts progress from your tables automatically.
3. Optional: fire in real time. For instant progress instead of nightly counting, call the fire method at the moment the thing happens, and the reverse method if it gets deleted or hidden:
if ( \IPS\Application::appIsEnabled( 'questline' ) ) { \IPS\questline\Action::fire( 'yourapp_thing_created', $member, [ 'itemClass' => 'IPS\yourapp\Thing', 'itemId' => $thing->id, 'containerClass' => 'IPS\yourapp\Category', 'containerId' => $thing->category_id, ] ); } \IPS\questline\Action::reverse( 'IPS\yourapp\Thing', $thing->id );The item class and id feed the dedup system, so one piece of content can't be farmed for the same objective twice. DEDUP_ITEM counts each item once, DEDUP_DAY counts once per day (for things like "visit the site"), DEDUP_NONE counts every occurrence.
Everything downstream is free: XP, points, badges and Credits payouts, notifications, the leaderboard, level-ups, and reversal handling all run through the engine. Your extension just says what counts.

Supported integrations appear automatically when the matching app is installed, including Gallery, Downloads, Blogs, Calendar, Clubs, Contests, Academy, and Credits. Third-party developers can also register their own custom quest actions. See spoiler below.
Progress is tracked through IPS listeners in real time, with a nightly task pass as a safety net.
Rewards
Questline can reward members with:
XP, which feeds Questline’s own level ladder
Achievement points, paid into the core IPS system
Badges from your existing badge library
Credits, if you use the Credits economy
Levels are fully configurable. You control the XP thresholds, level names, and badge awards. Questline also ships with a ready-made level ladder, so it works from day one. But feel free to adjust as you prefer of course.
Questlines
Questlines are the onboarding tool your community has been missing.
Chain multiple steps together, each with its own objectives and rewards, and members move through a visual journey page with a connected timeline: completed, current, and locked.
The included Welcome Journey helps new members complete their profile, start their first topic, and post their first replies. A dismissible banner can suggest the journey to anyone who has not started it yet.
Seasonal events
Schedule an event, attach quests to it, and set a meta reward.
Members complete enough event quests before the deadline, and the bonus pays out automatically. The quest index shows a live event banner with each member’s personal progress, and every event also gets its own leaderboard scope.
Summer festival, launch week, holiday drive, anniversary event, whatever fits your community calendar or niche.
Leaderboards
Questline also includes a monthly season ladder.
Movement arrows show who climbed and who slipped since last week
NEW markers highlight fresh entries
Monthly XP is shown up front
All-time XP is shown alongside it
Event leaderboards and an all-time board are included
A member’s own row stays pinned, even when they are not on the current page
Seasons reset every month, so last year’s most active members do not permanently own the leaderboard.
Member profiles and widgets
Members can follow their progress across the community.
A Quests profile tab shows level, XP progress, completed quests, and recent rewards
Notifications are sent for quest completions, level-ups, and event rewards
Inline, email, and push notifications are supported
Widgets include My Active Quests, Top Questers, and Event Progress
The widgets can be placed on any page, including Pages layouts.
Admin Control Panel
Questline gives admins full control without making the setup feel technical.
Quest builder with FA icon picker, availability windows, and per-group eligibility
Objective editor with simple dropdown-based setup
Overview screen showing member levels, XP, completions, and participation
Full activity ledger showing who earned what, and when
Searchable member activity by name
Event management
Level management
Quest slot settings per group
Feature toggles for points, credits, leaderboards, and more
Demo content installs by default, including starter quests, a seasonal event, and the level ladder, so the quest index is never empty after installation.
Perfect for
Questline is ideal for:
Communities fighting the lurker problem
New member onboarding
Seasonal campaigns and launch events
Giving specific forums or clubs more activity
Credits-based communities that want XP and currency working together
Communities where “most active member” should actually mean something
Questline 1.0 is just the start. Have a feature you need? Let me know.

Adding your own quest actions from another app
Questline exposes a QuestAction extension type. Once Questline is installed, it appears in the Developer Center's extension list for your own app like any core extension type, and generates a ready-made stub.
1. Register the extension. Create applications/yourapp/extensions/questline/QuestAction/YourApp.php and list it in your app's data/extensions.json:
"questline": { "QuestAction": { "YourApp": "IPS\\yourapp\\extensions\\questline\\QuestAction\\YourApp" } }2. Describe your actions. The class returns Definition objects: a unique key, a language key for the label admins see, an optional container class (node or content item) if the action can be scoped to "where", a dedup mode, and an optional recount closure:
class YourApp { public function definitions() : array { if ( !\IPS\Application::appIsEnabled( 'yourapp' ) ) { return []; } return [ new \IPS\questline\Action\Definition( 'yourapp_thing_created', 'questline_action_yourapp_thing_created', 'IPS\yourapp\Category', \IPS\questline\Action\Definition::DEDUP_ITEM, function( \IPS\questline\Progress $progress, \IPS\questline\Objective $objective ) : int { $where = [ [ 'thing_author=? AND thing_date>=?', $progress->member, $progress->accepted ] ]; if ( count( $ids = $objective->containerIds() ) ) { $where[] = [ \IPS\Db::i()->in( 'thing_category', $ids ) ]; } return (int) \IPS\Db::i()->select( 'COUNT(*)', 'yourapp_things', $where )->first(); } ), ]; } }That alone is a working integration: the action shows up in the quest builder's "What must the member do?" dropdown, your categories appear by name in the "Where?" picker, and Questline's nightly reconciliation counts progress from your tables automatically.
3. Optional: fire in real time. For instant progress instead of nightly counting, call the fire method at the moment the thing happens, and the reverse method if it gets deleted or hidden:
if ( \IPS\Application::appIsEnabled( 'questline' ) ) { \IPS\questline\Action::fire( 'yourapp_thing_created', $member, [ 'itemClass' => 'IPS\yourapp\Thing', 'itemId' => $thing->id, 'containerClass' => 'IPS\yourapp\Category', 'containerId' => $thing->category_id, ] ); } \IPS\questline\Action::reverse( 'IPS\yourapp\Thing', $thing->id );The item class and id feed the dedup system, so one piece of content can't be farmed for the same objective twice. DEDUP_ITEM counts each item once, DEDUP_DAY counts once per day (for things like "visit the site"), DEDUP_NONE counts every occurrence.
Everything downstream is free: XP, points, badges and Credits payouts, notifications, the leaderboard, level-ups, and reversal handling all run through the engine. Your extension just says what counts.

Community Activity

Community Activity

Community Activity is a front-end statistics and engagement dashboard for Invision Community Suite v5. It turns the data your community already produces into a polished, public-facing experience: growth trends, a year-long contribution heatmap, top members and content, cross-application breakdowns, personal scorecards, staff-only outreach tools, and automatic engagement notifications. It complements the built-in board statistics instead of replacing them, and it looks like a native part of your community from the first page load.
Live demo: Community Activity

A Real Dashboard, Not a Buried Stats Page
A polished single-page dashboard at a clean URL: /community-activity/
Live headline totals: members, content, reactions, and who is online right now
A full-year contribution Heartbeat, similar to a contribution graph, so momentum is visible at a glance
Sections animate in as you scroll, without slowing the page down
Light and dark mode aware, fully responsive, and motion-reduced for accessibility
Your statistics stop being an admin afterthought and become a destination.

Community Insights at Every Angle
Growth Trends: a multi-line chart of content, members, active members, and reactions, with instant 7, 30, 90, and 365 day range switching
Activity Patterns: when your community is most active by hour of day
Community Mood: how members react, with a positive, neutral, and negative sentiment split
Content Mix: what is being created across your community month by month
Content by Area: a breakdown across Forums, Gallery, Downloads, Blogs, and more
Top Members, Top Topics, and Busiest Forums: quick views of what and who is driving activity
Records and Milestones: all-time high-water marks plus a celebratory Year in Review
Everything is permission-aware, so members only see content they are allowed to see.

A Personal Scorecard for Every Member
The You tab turns participation into something members care about:
"You are more active than X percent of members"
Personal milestone badges: first topic, ten replies, one hundred posts, best answer, and one-year anniversary
A friendly engagement level, from Quiet Reader up to Community Driver
Your rank this week, posts this month, most-viewed topic, most-reacted content, and your contribution breakdown
Every member gets a reason to come back and watch their numbers climb.

Smart Staff Tools That Drive Retention
When a moderator or admin opens the dashboard, a staff-only sidebar appears with practical, one-click actions:
Needs Attention: unanswered topics, retention signals, first posts with no reply, and cooling-down forums
Reach Out: welcome new members, win back quiet ones, catch power members who are slipping away, and congratulate anniversaries, each with a quick message action
Spotlight: rising stars and members who are one or two posts away from a milestone
Spot the people who need a nudge before you lose them, and recognize the ones carrying your community.

Automatic Engagement Notifications
Six built-in notification types keep members coming back:
Post of the week, personal milestones, activity streaks, weekly recap, ranking updates, and community milestones
Never about the past. Installing the app records the current state silently and only notifies on new activity, so nobody gets flooded with alerts about old events
You choose which types are sent community-wide
Members stay in control and can opt out of any type
They carry your site favicon, so they clearly feel like part of your community
Automated encouragement that never feels spammy.

Built to Be Fast and Self-Sufficient
Aggregate-first design with a daily background task, so the dashboard stays instant even on busy communities
A bundled charting library served locally, with no external dependencies
Builds up to a year of history automatically, so the Heartbeat and Growth charts have data immediately
A front-end widget with two layouts, sidebar and horizontal, for any block area
Native AdminCP settings, group-based access control, and an in-panel support page
No external services, no tracking, and no new personal data collected. It reads what Invision already stores.

Perfect For
Communities that want members to feel their own progress
Forums looking to boost retention and repeat visits
Staff teams who want actionable health signals at a glance
Any community that wants its statistics to feel like part of the site

Community Activity gives your community a living dashboard that members enjoy, staff rely on, and that runs itself. Take a look at the demo and see it in action.

Docs Manager

Docs Manager

Docs Manager is a full knowledge-base and documentation application for Invision Community Suite v5. It lets you write, organize, publish, and maintain documentation directly inside your community, complete with 13 selectable front-end designs, automatic tables of contents (sticky by design), revision history, reader feedback, member contributions, and deep IPS framework integration including native search, profiles, notifications, reactions, and sitemap support.
A demo can be found here:
https://administrata.net/docs/
Choose Your Look: 13 Front-End Layouts
The biggest thing that sets Docs Manager apart is choice. Pick the entire reading experience from the AdminCP with one setting:
documentation (default · sidebar + sticky TOC) · explorer (VS Code / IDE) · finder · notion · split · terminal · blueprint · notebook · accordion · apiref · readme · tui · mindmap
Every layout applies across the whole app - index, collections, categories, and document pages. Each one is fully responsive, and is built entirely around your theme’s variables.
Your docs don’t look like a forum add-on.
They look like a product.
Structure & Organization
Collections → nested categories → documents
Drag-and-drop ordering for documents and categories in the ACP
SEO-friendly nested URLs
Per-collection navigation trees with subcategory nesting
index page with Featured, Popular, and Recently Updated sections
Organize a 5-page guide or a 500-article knowledge base with the same clean structure.
The Document Page
Each document includes:
Automatic table of contents generated from headings, with a configurable minimum
Previous / Next navigation within a category
Related Documents, either hand-picked or using smart category fallback
“Was this helpful?” feedback with accurate up/down counters
Optional guest voting
Reactions and Follow
Full revision history with configurable retention
Permission-gated Actions menu: edit, feature, hide, move, change author, delete
Deep IPS Framework Integration
Docs Manager is built on \IPS\Content\Item, so it behaves like first-class IPS content:
Indexed in native IPS Search and the Activity / Discover stream
A “Documentation” tab on member profiles, plus entries in /profile/X/content/
Automatic XML sitemap inclusion
Notifications for new documents, updates to followed docs, and reader feedback
Reactions, Follow, and moderation states handled the IPS-native way
Member Contributions
Let your community help write the docs safely:
Front-end submit and edit forms
Draft → Published workflow, with optional auto-publish per group
Granular group permissions: create, edit own / any, delete own / any
Per-group daily submission rate limits
Every edit automatically snapshots a revision
Reader Engagement
Helpful / Not helpful feedback, unique per member and guest IP
Reactions on documents
Follow documents and categories for update notifications
Comments are deliberately not part of Docs Manager. Documentation thrives on structured feedback and revisions, not threaded replies.
Software Marketplace Bridge
If you also run Software Marketplace, link the two together:
Attach a documentation article to any software item, where it appears as a button in the item sidebar
Show a “Related Software” card on the document, above related docs
One-to-one linking, kept in sync both ways
The setting only appears when both apps are installed

Topic Navigator

Topic Navigator

Stop scrolling endlessly through 60-page topics. Filter, sort, and zero in on what matters - in one click, with zero page reloads.
Topic Navigator is a per-topic toolbar for Invision Community Suite v5 that drops a fast, AJAX-powered sort/filter/search bar onto every topic page. Find the OP's posts, jump to your own contributions, pull only posts with images, hunt a username, or grep a keyword across the whole thread without ever leaving the page. Built on native IPS framework patterns - it looks like it shipped with the suite.
Live demo on Administrata

Topic Navigation, Reinvented
A compact toolbar sits beneath every topic header with four controls that work together and persist per-topic:
Sort - Newest first, oldest first, or default
Filter - Starter only, my posts, with links, with images, with quotes (admin-selectable defaults)
Member lookup - Native IPS autocomplete pill; type a username, see only their posts in this thread
Search this topic - Live-debounced keyword search with highlighted hits in the rendered post bodies
Every interaction swaps the post feed in place via AJAX - no full page reload, no scroll loss, no flicker.
Your members get a search engine for the topic they're already reading.

Smart Image Filter
The "with images" filter catches uploaded attachments, embedded media, and inline thumbnails using the same patterns IPS uses internally. Embed cards and link previews are correctly excluded so the filter actually returns what users expect.

Per-Topic Pause (Moderator Control)
Some topics don't want a navigator on top of them - announcements, polls, pinned welcome threads. Moderators get a one-click toggle to disable the toolbar on a per-topic basis.
You decide which topics get the power tools.

Search Term Highlighting
When the search filter is active, matching terms in the rendered post bodies are wrapped in themed <mark> tags using the primary colour at 35% opacity. Users see exactly why each post matched.

Admin Control Panel
Full IPS-native ACP experience:
Master enable/disable toggle
Enabled sort modes - check which sort options appear in the dropdown
Enabled filters - choose which filter chips members see (starter, me, with_links, with_images, with_quotes)
Per-feature toggles - independently enable/disable sort, filter, member lookup, and search
Default selections - set the filters that are pre-selected on first load for new visitors

Built for Active Communities
Threads with 50+ pages where finding the OP's latest update is a chore
Support topics where you need to filter to "with images" to find the screenshot
Long-running discussions where members want to re-read only one user's contributions
Megathreads where keyword search is faster than Ctrl+F (which only sees the current page)
Sticky FAQ topics where members need to jump straight to posts with links
Photo-share topics where you want to skip past the chatter and just see the uploads

Perfect For
High-volume support forums
Long-running discussion threads
Megathreads, AMAs, and Q&A topics
Build logs, project diaries, and ongoing show-and-tell threads
Tech support communities with image-heavy troubleshooting
Any community whose topics regularly cross 10+ pages

Stop making your members scroll. Give them the toolbar topics have always needed.

Topic Navigator is a per-topic toolbar for Invision Community Suite v5 that drops a fast, AJAX-powered sort/filter/search bar onto every topic page. Find the OP's posts, jump to your own contributions, pull only posts with images, hunt a username, or grep a keyword across the whole thread without ever leaving the page. Built on native IPS framework patterns - it looks like it shipped with the suite.
Live demo on Administrata

Topic Navigation, Reinvented
A compact toolbar sits beneath every topic header with four controls that work together and persist per-topic:
Sort - Newest first, oldest first, or default
Filter - Starter only, my posts, with links, with images, with quotes (admin-selectable defaults)
Member lookup - Native IPS autocomplete pill; type a username, see only their posts in this thread
Search this topic - Live-debounced keyword search with highlighted hits in the rendered post bodies
Every interaction swaps the post feed in place via AJAX - no full page reload, no scroll loss, no flicker.
Your members get a search engine for the topic they're already reading.

Smart Image Filter
The "with images" filter catches uploaded attachments, embedded media, and inline thumbnails using the same patterns IPS uses internally. Embed cards and link previews are correctly excluded so the filter actually returns what users expect.

Per-Topic Pause (Moderator Control)
Some topics don't want a navigator on top of them - announcements, polls, pinned welcome threads. Moderators get a one-click toggle to disable the toolbar on a per-topic basis.
You decide which topics get the power tools.

Search Term Highlighting
When the search filter is active, matching terms in the rendered post bodies are wrapped in themed <mark> tags using the primary colour at 35% opacity. Users see exactly why each post matched.

Admin Control Panel
Full IPS-native ACP experience:
Master enable/disable toggle
Enabled sort modes - check which sort options appear in the dropdown
Enabled filters - choose which filter chips members see (starter, me, with_links, with_images, with_quotes)
Per-feature toggles - independently enable/disable sort, filter, member lookup, and search
Default selections - set the filters that are pre-selected on first load for new visitors

Built for Active Communities
Threads with 50+ pages where finding the OP's latest update is a chore
Support topics where you need to filter to "with images" to find the screenshot
Long-running discussions where members want to re-read only one user's contributions
Megathreads where keyword search is faster than Ctrl+F (which only sees the current page)
Sticky FAQ topics where members need to jump straight to posts with links
Photo-share topics where you want to skip past the chatter and just see the uploads

Perfect For
High-volume support forums
Long-running discussion threads
Megathreads, AMAs, and Q&A topics
Build logs, project diaries, and ongoing show-and-tell threads
Tech support communities with image-heavy troubleshooting
Any community whose topics regularly cross 10+ pages

Stop making your members scroll. Give them the toolbar topics have always needed.

On This Day - Community Memories

On This Day - Community Memories

Your members have been posting for years.
Most of that content is invisible to them now.
On This Day brings it back.
Every day, members see a personalized timeline of what they posted on this date in previous years - forum topics, blog entries, gallery images, calendar events, and more.
Old content becomes visible again.
Members reconnect with things they forgot they wrote.
And your community gets a reason to look back, react, and share.

How it works
The app scans each member’s content history and matches it against today’s date across previous years. No tagging, no curation, no setup. If a member posted something on April 19th three years ago, they’ll see it today.
Results are grouped by year, sorted most recent first, and capped per year to keep things clean and relevant.
Queries the full search index - forums, blogs, gallery, downloads, calendar, pages, and more
Built-in leap year handling
Configurable minimum content age (default: 1 year)
Configurable items per year
Optional content type filtering


The On This Day page
A personal timeline at /memories/, designed to feel worth visiting.
Full-width hero banner with a personalized greeting and today’s date
Vertical timeline layout with clear year markers
Animated card entrances as you scroll
Each memory card shows content type, title, a 200-character excerpt, and the original date
“Revisit” links take members straight back to the original content
Content type icons for forums, blogs, gallery, downloads, calendar, and CMS
Friendly empty state for members with no memories yet


Memory Wall
Members can share their memories to a public Memory Wall.
Clicking Share opens an inline panel where they can add a personal note - a short message explaining why the memory matters. The original content is preserved alongside their note, so others see both the memory and the reflection.
Optional personal message (up to 500 characters)
Public wall feed with a paginated grid layout
Author avatars, timestamps, content type badges, and “years ago” indicators
Full IPS reaction support on every shared memory
Duplicate sharing prevention
Delete options for authors and admins
Responsive grid that adapts from multi-column to single-column
Including reactions
It turns private nostalgia into shared community moments.

Widget
A Today’s Memories sidebar widget gives members a quick daily snapshot.
Shows how many memories they have today
Preview list grouped by year
Direct link to the full timeline
Sidebar and CMS compatible
Clean empty state with a subtle icon when no memories exist
Place it on your homepage or activity page to create a daily habit.

Related Content

Related Content

IPS ships with a built-in "Similar Content" feature. It works by matching tags - and only tags. If your members don't tag their content (and let's be honest, most don't), Similar Content shows nothing. Your sidebar stays empty, and your members never discover the conversations they'd actually care about.
Related Content does it differently.
Instead of relying on members to manually tag everything, Related Content reads the actual title of whatever your member is viewing and finds content that shares the same meaningful words. No tagging required. No manual curation. It just works.

Three matching methods, one widget
Keyword Matching: Extracts significant words from the title (filtering out noise like "the", "and", "how"), then searches across your entire content index using word-boundary matching. A topic called "Building REST APIs" will find other content about building, REST, and APIs - but won't false-match on words that merely contain those letters.
Tag Matching: For communities that do use tags, Related Content also supports tag-based discovery.
Hybrid Mode: Gets the best of both. Fills results from tag matches first, then supplements with keyword matches to always show relevant suggestions. No more empty sidebars.

Cross-content discovery
Related Content searches across your entire community:
Forum topics
Blog entries
Club posts
Pages/CMS articles
Database records
Any content type in the search index
A member reading a forum topic about "Migrating from MySQL 5 to MySQL 8" will see related blog posts, knowledge base articles, and database records - not just other forum topics.

Elasticsearch native support
If your community runs Elasticsearch, Related Content automatically uses its built-in "More Like This" query - a machine-learning-grade similarity engine that analyzes the full content, not just titles. No configuration change needed; it detects your search backend and adapts.

Permission-aware, always
Every result respects IPS group permissions. If a member can't see a forum, they won't see its topics in Related Content. If content is hidden or pending approval, it's excluded. No information leaks.

Configurable per widget
Drop the Discover widget into any sidebar, footer, or widget area. Each instance is independently configurable:
Custom title
Number of results (1-25)
Matching method (tags, keywords, or hybrid)
Place it on topic pages, blog entries, CMS articles - it automatically detects what content the member is viewing and finds related items.

ACP settings
Enable/disable globally with one toggle
Set the default matching method and result limit
Configure cache TTL for performance (default: 15 minutes)

More content discovery means more page views, longer sessions, and higher engagement. Members find conversations they didn't know existed. Old content resurfaces naturally. Your community feels bigger and more active - because it is.

• Database Integrity Check

  

  Database Integrity Check

  I want to verify exactly what it covers. Could you clarify if it handles the following scenarios?
  Database Corruption from Updates: Will this actually repair a database table or index that became corrupted during a previous software update, plugin update or Application update?
  Leftover Plugin/App Data: Will this clean up leftover tables, rows, or orphaned settings left behind by previous system updates, uninstalled applications or plugins?
  Block Editor Sidebar Glitches: Will this resolve a corrupted sidebar layout or "side block" issue that occurred after adding or removing elements in the block editor?
  Thanks for clarifying.

  Number of Users per Theme

  This is very cool, as I don't know of any other means of seeing how many people use what. So, I can't guage which themes are popular, but this is a brilliant idea that executes it well.

• Keyword Tooltips

  

  Keyword Tooltips

  If you are running an IPS community, this Keywords tool is an absolute must-have. We run a highly technical site, and this app has been a lifesaver for our members. We use it to define complex industry terms and acronyms site-wide, and the rich pop-up tooltips make the user experience flawless.
  What really blows me away is the rebuild. It doesn't feel like a clunky third-party add-on; it feels like a native part of the IPS framework. It has its own search integration, reactions, comments, and follow system.
  As an admin, the moderation controls are fantastic. Being able to set up approval workflows for new keywords and comments means we can keep our technical definitions accurate without babysitting the system.
  If you want to enrich your forum's content and keep your users engaged, look no further. Five stars!

  I have missed this so much, and finding out that it has been recreated and improved was a great discovery.
  Cedric is very active and works to improve this even further.
  5 out of 5 is the max I can give in this review, but it is more like 6 out of 5 or even 7 out of five!

• Ignore Preferences

  

  Ignore Preferences

  Very nice back end options, nicely restrained icon which is also well placed to hide forums or topics. Overall I would have given it five out of five stars except for one small issue ... it seems recognize categories as forums.
  Clicking on ignore does not ignore category or the sub forums associated with that category.
  Actually I would expect/prefer categories not be able to be ignored.
  The hide icon/text should not show since nothing can be actually posted in them ... the opposite would be that all sub forms would also be hidden. But if that was the intent it's not working.
  One new optional feature that could be added is a way to identify specific forums that cannot be hidden by members.

  I asked Cedric 5 hours ago for help with this functionality. Just a few hours later it is available as a free app. Truly amazing!
