One clarifying question: I presume these widgets and that functionality will work for building a page showcasing Topics? I'd love to see what the wallpaper version of Topics looks like. In my head, I'm thinking: a user posts a topic, but is required to upload an image, so that when the topic appears on the feed (on the page I've created), it has an image. Your presumption is correct! 🤝 Topic feeds will display the "share/embed" image if one exists. For the moment, a placeholder is shown for topics which don't have an image in the first post, but we can revisit that in the future if needed 🙂 Two example screenshots below using Grid and Wallpaper: SoloInter, Joey_M and PrettyPixels 2 1

Lastly will classic license users have access at the same time as your monthly paid members?

ahc Posted July 24 Posted July 24 This may have been said before (I'm only recently rejoining the community as of a few days ago, so I apologize), but do we have a guestimate for 5's release? Q4 2024, Q1 2025?

HighlanderICT Posted July 24 Posted July 24 Any estimate on an open Beta we can play around with on our DEV url? Would like to put it on a test site to plan migration from V4 as obviously a lot of differences so time for a significant redesign to our site.

As Matt mentioned, we are currently aiming for a release in Q4 2024. The beta will clearly be a little before that. There is little point in guessing exactly when that will be as it depends on the alphas 🙂

While my focus is invision's e commerce the forums side is very nice and the customizable options look great. It looks like IC 5 has been in the works for a very long time. Again, I thank you guys for the time you've put in.
mountaininteractive Posted July 25 Posted July 25 As a question I'd like to know will Invision Community 5 feature a more ready SEO system? What I'm meaning is actual embedding and meta data. I've noticed with invision community there never has really seemed to be an actual meta data system. Example of what I'm looking for
Management Matt Posted July 25 Management Posted July 25 Do you mean like this?

Would like to put it on a test site to plan migration from V4 as obviously a lot of differences so time for a significant redesign to our site. August. Our current plan is this: - Test upgrades on clones of our own sites and convert our custom plugins/apps to v5 to weed out the low level bugs (in progress) - Have a small group of contributors to be given the zip to install, play with and give feedback for a short period (up next) - Open beta. SeNioR-, eb test and David N. 2 1
