With its comprehensive application and plugin architecture, it's possible to extend Invision Community far beyond the default functionality - whether it's for in-house customization of your community or to build addons to provide to others.
The Invision Community framework provides heaps of easy-to-implement functionality such as node management, commenting, moderation and more, and it doesn't usually require extensive code - in fact you can get a basic application up and running in just a few lines of code. The hooks system uses an innovative CSS selector-based system to allow you to pinpoint where custom code should be executed, allowing you to change or add interface components to existing application views.
Check out the developer guides and documentation to get started, and be sure to check in to our developer forum to get assistance from IPS and third-party developers.
The Marketplace is the central place that users come to in order to find applications, plugins and themes for their communities. Think you have a great idea for an addon that others could use? Sell it via the Marketplace and set your own price and renewal structure! With low commission rates, developing for Invision Community can be a profitable endeavour.
Marketplace Submission GuidelinesFor most development work, you'll need the SDK. This provides the templates, scripts and configuration files for each application.
