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.

Just like the built-in Mailchimp integration, this application automatically synchronizes your Invision Community members with your EasySendy mailing list.
The application respects members' administrative email preferences and synchronizes subscriptions based on the following events:
New Account: Subscribes members when they register, if account validation is not required.
Account Validation: Subscribes members after their accounts are validated.
Profile Update: Updates members' display names and subscribes or unsubscribes them when their email preferences change.
Email Change: Synchronizes changes to members' email addresses.
Account Deletion: Removes members from the mailing list when their community accounts are deleted.
The application integrates directly into the IPS5 Community Enhancements section.
Requirements:
An EasySendy account,
EasySendy API Key

Hover Cards lets members open profile cards and reaction menus by hovering their mouse over them.
It uses Invision Community’s native cards and menus, preserving their familiar appearance, content, and animations.
Features
Profile cards on hover — preview a member’s profile by hovering over their name or avatar.
Adjustable delay — choose how quickly profile cards open. The default is 0.4 seconds; set it to zero for instant opening.

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
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

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

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
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.
