DEMODocumentationUsing Libraries Using the Book Manager Using the Template System LibrariesBuild a richer publishing and knowledge experience for Invision Community with a native system for articles, books, and documents. Libraries is designed for communities that need more than a flat docs area. It gives you structured libraries, nested shelves, multi-format content, reader-friendly navigation, and IPS-native moderation and engagement tools in one app. What It DoesLibraries lets administrators and approved members organize long-form knowledge content into a clear hierarchy: Libraries group major knowledge areas, product collections, or publishing sections Shelves organize topics inside each library, including nested shelf structures Articles, Books, and Documents give you the right content format for editorial writing, multi-page manuals, and reference material Instead of forcing every piece of content into the same shape, Libraries supports different reading experiences while still keeping everything inside IPS-native content workflows. Key FeaturesArticles for Editorial and Guide ContentDedicated Article Type: Publish articles as their own content type instead of treating everything like a plain document entry Single-Page Reading Flow: Ideal for announcements, tutorials, opinion pieces, changelog explainers, release writeups, and in-depth guides Rich Presentation: Articles support cover images, subtitles, overview text, tags, prefixes, and formatted editor content Native IPS Engagement: Articles participate in follows, reactions, reporting, comments, reviews, ratings, and read tracking Software Linking: Articles can be tied directly to Software Marketplace items when you want release or feature documentation attached to a product Books for Multi-Page Manuals and Structured ReadingTrue Book Content Type: Create multi-page books instead of splitting manuals into disconnected posts or standalone documents Book Page Manager: Add, edit, delete, reorder, enable, disable, and organize pages from a dedicated management workspace Intro Page and Reading Paths: Books can open on a preferred intro page, then continue through a structured chapter flow Nested Page Structure: Build parent and child page relationships for more advanced manuals, handbooks, and product guides Reader-Friendly Navigation: Books can expose page outlines, current-page table of contents blocks, and clean page-specific URLs inside the parent book Draft-First Workflow: New books start in draft so authors can build page structure before publishing Publishing Safeguards: Books are protected from being published as empty shells without readable pages Unified Discussions: Comments, reviews, follows, helpfulness, moderation state, and other IPS content behavior stay attached to the parent book item Revision-Aware Authoring: Book pages and book changes fit into the app revision-oriented publishing workflow for ongoing maintenance Documents for Straightforward Reference ContentSingle-Page Reference Format: Use documents for FAQs, support notes, internal reference material, setup steps, quick answers, or short technical explanations Cleaner Than Forum Posts: Documents keep knowledge content separate from discussion-first areas while still supporting IPS engagement where needed Shared Feature Set: Documents also support editor content, overview text, cover images, tags, related software links, comments, reviews, and moderation controls Structured Libraries and Shelf NavigationLibrary and Shelf Hierarchy: Organize content in a way that feels closer to a real documentation center or digital publishing library Nested Shelves: Use parent and child shelf structures to separate products, departments, categories, chapters, or knowledge domains Finder-Style Browsing: Members can browse through index, library, shelf, and item views instead of relying on one flat listing On-Page Navigation Aids: Heading-aware table of contents support helps readers move through long-form content more easily Related Content Discovery: Surface more items from the same shelf to keep readers moving through connected material Native IPS Publishing, Community, and Moderation ToolsComments and Reviews: Let members discuss and review articles, books, and documents directly on the content item Helpfulness Voting: Readers can mark content as helpful or not helpful for lightweight quality feedback Private Negative Feedback Threads: Not-helpful responses can include private written feedback, with author or staff replies when needed Drafts and Approval Workflows: Shelf-level controls can govern draft saving, approval requirements, and moderated publishing behavior Silent Editing and Revision Tracking: Maintain content cleanly without losing control over edit visibility and history Read Markers, Reporting, Embeds, and Follows: The app uses familiar IPS content behaviors instead of reinventing them in a parallel system Marketplace and Commerce IntegrationSoftware Marketplace Bridge: Link content directly to Marketplace software items and surface it in the software item Documentation tab Related Software Panels: Show readers which Marketplace item a piece of content belongs to, with pricing and product context where relevant Paid Content Support: Documents, articles, and books can participate in paid-access workflows when Commerce integration is enabled Purchase Terms and Renewals: Support monetized documentation workflows with terms acceptance, renewals, and entitlement-aware access control Template System and Visual FamiliesMultiple Shipped Design Families: The app includes distinct visual family foundations inspired by Basic, Apple Finder, GNOME Files, and Windows Explorer Full Template Set Architecture: The front end is split into managed runtime targets for the frame, index, library, shelf, document, My Items, book manager, terms manager, submit flow, and Marketplace tab body ACP Template System: Administrators can manage template sets directly from the AdminCP instead of editing one hard-coded front-end layout Fork, Clone, Import, and Export: Start from a shipped family, create blank sets, clone existing sets, or move full template sets between installs as JSON packages Per-Set CSS and JavaScript: Each template set can carry its own custom CSS and JavaScript for deeper visual and interaction customization Baselines and Revisions: Save set-wide baselines for restore points and keep template-level revisions for safer iterative design work Global Theme Switching for the App: Activate a template set to change the Documentation and Libraries experience across the app from a single managed system Use CasesLibraries is especially well suited for: software product documentation release notes and feature explainers premium article publishing multi-page manuals and handbooks customer knowledge bases internal team documentation developer guides and API references training materials and onboarding content AdminCP AreasThe app includes dedicated AdminCP management areas for: Libraries Shelves Documents and content items Helpfulness Ratings Statistics Settings Why It Stands OutMost IPS knowledgebase-style solutions focus on a single document format. Libraries goes further by giving you a broader publishing model: articles for polished single-page reading, books for structured multi-page content, and documents for quick reference material, all inside one organized library and shelf system.

Country ConsentGive your Invision Community a privacy-first way to handle member country display. Country Consent detects a member's country privately, keeps it hidden by default, and only shows a public country flag after the member explicitly chooses what to do. It is built for communities that want country visibility without forcing automatic public disclosure. 🔒 What It DoesCountry Consent introduces an approval-based country workflow for member accounts. Instead of auto-publishing a detected country or flag, the app prompts the member to confirm the detected country, choose a different one, or hide their country entirely. Nothing is displayed publicly until that decision is made. ✨ Key FeaturesPrivacy-First Country DisplayPrivate Detection: Detect a member's country without immediately exposing it on their profile or across the community Consent Before Display: Require an explicit member decision before any public flag is shown Default Hidden State: New and existing members remain non-public until they make a choice Member-Controlled Visibility: Let members hide their country entirely if they do not want it displayed Clear Member Choice WorkflowConfirm Detected Country: Members can approve the country detected for their account Choose a Different Country: Members can override detection and pick a country manually Hide Country: Members can opt out completely and keep their country private Persistent Prompting: Pending members are reminded until they make a final choice Public Display with Consent OnlyFlag-Only Output: Public display focuses on the member's approved country flag No Pending Leaks: Detected countries are never shown publicly while a member is still undecided Approved Members Only: Public flags appear only for members who have explicitly approved visibility Targeted Front-End Hooks: Display approved flags in selected community areas without relying on broad JS link injection Directory and Account ControlsPublic Country Directory: Browse countries and view only members who approved public visibility Account Settings Integration: Members can revisit and change their country decision later Privacy State Tracking: Separate private detection from public approval for cleaner data handling Minimal ACP Settings: Keep administration simple while preserving the privacy-first model 🚀 Perfect ForPrivacy-Conscious Communities: Give members control over whether location-related profile details are public International Boards: Show country flags only when members actually want them shown Communities in Sensitive Regions: Avoid exposing country information by default Modern IPS Sites: Replace older auto-flag behavior with a consent-driven workflow Administrators Who Want Simplicity: Use a straightforward member-choice flow instead of complex moderation rules 🎯 Technical SpecificationsPlatform: Invision Community 5 Detection Model: Private detection with separate approved visibility state Member States: Pending, approved, or hidden Public Output: Flag-only display for approved members Member Controls: Confirm detected country, choose manually, or hide entirely Directory: Public country listing limited to consented visible members 💡 Why Choose Country Consent?Built Around Consent: Country display is treated as a member decision, not an automatic assumption Better Privacy Defaults: Nothing is shown publicly until the member says yes Cleaner Data Separation: Private detection and public approval are stored independently More Respectful UX: Members are asked how they want their country handled instead of being silently assigned a visible flag Designed for IPS: Integrates with account settings, profile output, directory views, and selected front-end hook areas 🔧 Easy SetupInstall the Application: Upload and install Country Consent in your Invision Community AdminCP Enable the Prompt: Turn on the consent prompt and decide whether to enable the public directory Let Members Choose: Members confirm, change, or hide their country the next time they are prompted Display Approved Flags: Only approved members appear with public country flags and directory visibility Adjust Later: Members can revisit their account settings whenever they want to change their choice With Country Consent, your community gets a safer and more transparent way to handle country display. It preserves the usefulness of member country flags while putting the final decision where it belongs: with the member.

Version Updates Version 2.0.2Added- Per-member auto-topic template variables: - {matched_members} for the full matched member list with front-end profile links - {matched_members_plain} for a plain-text matched member list - {matched_members_short} for compact title output such as name1, name2 (+3) - {matched_member_count} for the total matched member count - Added a normalized per-member detection-state snapshot to support reply deduplication. - Added ACP member links in M.A.C. report tables so usernames now open the related ACP member page. IMPROVED- Per-member forum report defaults now include the matched member list directly in report content. - Per-member topic titles now use a more moderator-friendly compact matched-member summary by default. - Per-member template help text and editor tag menus now document the richer matched-member variables. FIXED- Fixed per-member auto-topic detection so fingerprint-only matches are no longer missed when the fingerprint is first stored by the deferred AJAX save. - Fixed duplicate per-member forum replies being generated when the detected match state has not changed. - Fixed M.A.C. ACP report tables so member names are no longer rendered as plain text where ACP member links are available. Version 2.0.1AddedAdded mac_registration_enabled to let admins disable device-cookie tracking and device-based registration checks. Added mac_ipaddress_enabled to let admins disable IP logging and IP-based registration checks. Both settings default to enabled during upgrade so existing communities keep current behavior until changed in ACP. ImprovedWhat was added- Retention settings for cookie IDs, IP addresses, and fingerprints. - A reusable cleanup manager used by both the scheduled MACCleanup task and ACP sidebar actions. - Task Settings, Prune Now, and Delete Now sidebar buttons on the device, IP, and fingerprint log controllers. - first_seen and last_seen tracking on multipleaccountscheck_devices so cookie/IP retention is based on actual activity timestamps. Cleanup behavior- Prune Now deletes only rows in the current view that are older than that view's configured retention period. - Delete Now deletes all rows in the current view immediately. - Shared views operate on identifiers used by more than one distinct member. - Single views operate on identifiers used by exactly one distinct member. Legacy data- Existing device/IP rows created before last_seen existed will have 0 until that member/device combination is seen again. - Cleanup treats those legacy rows as stale so they can be cleared by prune actions or the scheduled task.

The Legacy Post ID of a topic is now returned to its former glory! With a clickable Share Link!

Depending on their permissions members can delete reputations that they have given themselves or all reputations. Permissions: You can set the permissions for groups to use it on a group per group basis. Restrictions: Banned members can't receive reputation feedback. The same goes for members that are on someone's ignore list. Depending on the group permissions members can give the same member either only one specific reputation feedback or unlimited. Group based daily reputation feedback limit. Group based negative feedback protection. Privacy: From their Account Settings->Reputation Privacy, members can set it so only their followers will be able to give them reputation feedback, everyone or disable it completely so none one will be able to send them reputations. Members with the appropriate permissions will still be able to give them reputation feedback regardless of the privacy setting.

Commands: You can run several commands such as Showing the create structure of tables, Checking tables, Repair and Optimizing. Details: A list of your database details such as the total tables, its size and how much free size is left is available as well. This can be very useful imo especially if you don't have direct access to the server, and no utilities such as phpMyAdmin are installed. Or if you aren't very comfortable with dealing with the database from phpmyadmin for fear of messing things up, you can use this app as there is Zero chance of messing anything. It can also come in handy if you have installed a lot of third party custom stuff like apps, plugins etc over the years and you want to have a clear overview of your database. You can do that with ease without having to go to your phpmyadmin.

. This app will monitor your forum and list all changes done to the files within a time frame set by the admin. It will also scan all folders and files inside your forum folder for any potential malicious code and/or backdoor scripts. File Change Detection: If the files that have been listed as modified, haven't been changed by you yourself and/or haven't been updated automatically by the system, it could indicate that your forum most likely has been tampered with. Those files might have been changed to include malicious code. In addition to an existed file being changed/modified, the upload of new file(s) is detected too. In that case it would be best to immediately check the file(s) in question and contact your host so they can look into the unauthorized file changes and take the necessary actions to plugin the point of entry. Potential Backdoor Scanning: What Is a Backdoor? A backdoor is malicious code injected to valid file(s) of whatever scripts one is running on their server space, as only one short line of code that looks rather innocent. Or, a backdoor can be a standalone file as well. They are left behind by hackers once they breach the security of a website to make sure they can get back in even after you secure your website. i.e. it allows them unauthorized and often unrestricted access to a compromised site. Unless you can remove the backdoor(s), there's no stopping them. Backdoors are hidden from view, and made to look like legitimate files and therefore it can be extremely difficult to find. And that's where this app comes in. It will scan all lines of code on every single file inside your forum folder for exploitable PHP Functions, PHP Code Execution, Command Execution and Filesystem Functions. A few Examples: The mod scans for a very wide array of php&filesystem functions, code&command executions. Below are few of them along with how they can be exploited by hackers. Command Execution! exec - Returns last line of commands output passthru - Passes commands output directly to the browser system - Passes commands output directly to the browser and returns last line shell_exec - Returns commands output popen - Opens read or write pipe to process of a command proc_open - Similar to popen() but greater degree of control pcntl_exec - Executes a program PHP Code Execution! Apart from eval there are other ways to execute PHP code: include/require can be used for remote code execution in the form of Local File Include and Remote File Include vulnerabilities. assert() - identical to eval() preg_replace('/.*/e',...) - /e does an eval() on the match create_function() include() include_once() require() require_once() Disguised Malicious Code The use of eval(base64_decode(....)) or eval(gzinflate(base64_decode(..))) which are intended to disguise the nature of the malicious code. The use of str_rot13 which is heavily used in pair with base64_decode. This too is used to disguise the nature of the malicious code. False Positives: All the aforementioned php functions, commands, executions etc are all legit. Ips and all the other php/mysql forum/cms scripts etc make use of them. But unfortunately they are also the most commonly used functions by the bad actors to inject malicious code. Therefore there will be false positives reports. If you see your forum files mentioned as containing the aforementioned code, you can ignore it. But if any of the forum files is reported as recently modified file(s) by the app and you haven't touched the file(s) in question, then you should check it immediately as the chances are that it's foul play.

This app will log all guests visits at your forum from the moment that it's installed and it will display them in the app's log page. Like that you will have an overview as to what pages hold the interest of your guests. Logs can be then searched based on ip addresses and visit time frame. Another feature of this app is the use cookies to limit the number of times that your guests can view pages at your forum. The limit will be for a day, after which it will expire and it will be repeated again after the number of page view limit has been reached again. The whole idea behind this concept is to hopefully motivate guests to register. The search bots will not be impacted by this when it comes to spidering your site, because usually bots do not generally use cookies. However, this is an on/off setting.

This app will force members to make their first topic in the forum of your choice in order to browse the forums and topics at your forum. From the app's settings you can enable/disable the app, select the forum where you want your members to post their first topic, enter your custom error message and exclude groups from this restriction.
