Extend Invision Community
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.
Downloads
For most development work, you'll need the SDK. This provides the templates, scripts and configuration files for each application.
Follow this guide to get started with the developer tools and developer mode.
