We have a freshly baked 5.0.11 for you!

We have another release for you to test and give us feedback on. This release comes with all the usual fixes and includes some new things:

• Various Editor improvements

  • ✨TipTap v3 ✨

  • Draggable quotes, code blocks and images

• New: Basic MailChimp integration.

• New: Auto-lock topics functionality.

• Pages: Ability to set default pages per member group.

The full list is over on our release notes page.

Have fun, and let me know how it goes!

Beta 2 is on its way!

with some minor changes for

• An error enabling/disabling/installing/updating apps

• Fixing documentation for some of the newer REST API endpoints

• Added clarification about how the new Pages default page per member group works.

We've intentionally stopped running JS/CSS through the PHP template parser on each click as it's pretty inefficient and means using slow PHP methods such as eval().

Now, we'd recommend sending variables into the HTML, or using attributes.

For CSS, you can do something like this in a custom template:

<style type="text/css">
:root {
	--my-background-url: url({member.backgroundUrl});
}
</style>

Then in your custom CSS

.ipsHeader__primary {
	background-image: var(--my-background-url);
}

So instead of using PHP logic, you pass in the data to the HTML output, then you reference that natively in JS and CSS. In this example, you pre-process member.backgroundUrl to contain the value based on the data from the database in PHP.

5.0.11 is now available!

The final release contains an additional fix for the Table of Contents widget on Pages Records.

Please see the release notes for more information.

Re the Spoiler: I just test it in 5.0.11 and its kind of annoying that the word spoiler isn't being automatically added for users.

Totally agree. It is confusing unless you type spoiler in the title. Would be great if it is done automatically when adding the spoiler. 👍

Off course allow the users to still change it if they want to.

Next to that I didn't notice any issues. Upgrading took a while because our database is very big.

Overall I would say Invision v5 is a big improvement and I like the tweaks and fixes.

I report a lot (?) of bugs. But I have to admit, being on bug hunt is rather exciting. It is the devil in me. I am a professional developer myself for almost 40 years and hate when people find bugs in code I wrote 😈

We have released a patch to address two issues:

• Custom Theme logos may vanish when clearing caches.

• It is not possible to use some advertisements on Pages pages.

You can apply this patch from your AdminCP on the support page. If you do not see any patches available, that means you already have the latest version.

Not for me at least.

There is no patch in the support page available and I just deleted my logos when I tried to refresh the cache :)

Well, I am a professional logo uploader. No one can upload logos better than I do 😅

Please try it now, we had temporarily pulled it whilst we tested some additional scenarios.

When creating a new post, the editor, as per usual, automatically places the blinking cursor in the text box so all you have to do is begin typing. However, if you quote a post, that function is now gone and you have to click into the open space before typing.

It's a bit of hassle on desktop but workable. On a mobile device if a user doesn't understand the new arrow at the bottom of a quote to place a new line, it is almost impossible to click into open space to begin a response.

This is quite problematic. Often text will end up in the quoted portion.
