Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted May 18, 20213 yr Popular Post Hey team, it's been 84 years (if you know you know), but... We're excited to announce that Invision Community 4.6.0 Beta 1 is officially live! 🎉 @Matt has a blog post on the way detailing all of the amazing additions, including how many commits and lines of code that were changed. A lot. The answer is a lot. Just to refresh your memories, some of the biggest changes/additions include: Achievements (Points!) Web app and Push notifications Anonymous Posting when posting as a member Highlight Topics with replies from specific Groups Spam Improvements (And more!) It's available per request for Cloud customers or, if you're self-hosted, by manually downloading it. Self-hosted: please make the necessary backups before upgrading. Because this is a Beta, please understand there is an inherent risk when upgrading. The more information/feedback we get, the better we can optimize and improve things 🙂 If you find something and would like to submit a bug, please do so here. Looking forward to hearing what you think! Sound off in the replies below.
May 18, 20213 yr Ohh no, I install beta and now I can't download any apps.😐 Is there a workaround? I can't revert back to 4.5

May 18, 20213 yr I have a backup but a few members sign up since I install the beta. I guess I'll have to wait until the dev update their apps. I kind of like the old system before this marketplace, where I could download files no matter which version IPS I was using.

For transparency's sake – I amended the post to include that per the suggestion.

I am happy that Invision eXists and has for a very long time. I am, as of today, beginning to offer my MaD AdMin SkillZ for hire on my web presences. Mostly because I have taken my 3 community sites about as far as I can for now. But I digress, this is about U'All and the AmaZing work that you DO! Zo, Keep iT up and I look for to the actual APP for the PhoneZ that is supposed to be still coming? I hope I haven't missed something in that regard. Anyway! ThanX again and here is to US selling a great SaaS product! 🍾🥳 Jason.😈🕸️🧙♂️

I kind of like the old system before this marketplace, where I could download files no matter which version IPS I was using. Beta versions, as a rule of thumb, should not be used on a live installation. That is what test forums are for. Anyways, looking forward to take the new version for a test drive. Many thanks to the great and amazing Ips team for all their hard work.
May 18, 20213 yr Nice, I say that the beta is for those that has a test site and not for YOUR LIVE site 🙂 I'll wait for the app to be more stable and third-party apps have updated there themes and whatnot 🙂
May 19, 20213 yr Gave it a spin last night when I saw it go live in the client area. Got it set up on my Mac… Here comes hours of work on setting up achievements after work tonight. Yay. 😂

May 19, 20213 yr Great to see you keep pumping out more and more substantial upgrades and features at a regular pace. Do you have a ballpark estimate on when the stable version is planned to release?
May 19, 20213 yr Really tedious thing I know, but it would be great to have a copy to clipboard button when manually having to run queries on update Edited May 19, 20213 yr by Tom_F

May 19, 20213 yr Thanks for the reply @Charles. Do you have any target date (even a rough one), or are you going completely for the "more feedback - more test time" strategy?
