Yeah, happy to take a look. There's fewer opportunities for hooking and overloading in v5 so a lot of that likely won't work but I'm curious as to what you need and why.
What would you like to see? Email templates are like coding in Dreamweaver in 1998.
Design is definitely mobile first and @Ehren has already implemented scrolling tabs over drop downs.
App integration, specifically pages records and topics - I see this as a semi-dead feature in that I don't want to invest a lot of time into it (but it remains in v5 and no deprecation plans). I'd rather find a smarter solution to the problem it solved 10 years ago. Other stuff is fine but we want 5.0.0 to be the start of a new journey and not just the end of one, so expect a lot of change over the 5.0 lifetime. We want to do the major things and then ship so customers aren't waiting 2-3 years between versions.

A blog on theme stuff is coming but we've got a few things to finish first.

Design
I echo the comments regarding general end-user design and navigation/travel. I like the idea that V5 will be 'mobile first' as V4 is a little bit unwieldy. In particular, browsing a member's profile page is an absolute nightmare on mobile and I think design cues from social media platforms (or sites like Deviantart's user profiles) would be a good source of inspiration in terms of a do-over so everything flows better.
Tabs also need to be designed better for mobile - no more dropdown menus, make it sleek and more like a scrolling mobile navbar instead. 🙂 
App Integration
Broadly speaking, and at risk of sounding like a broken record, a better integration and cohesion of apps (on the end-user side, not necessarily the dev side) would be most welcome. I've already raised a few ideas, at the (much higher) risk of being annoying about it! 😄 
Theme Development
As someone who isn't necessarily a coder but likes to play around with theme templates, it would be fantastic if V5 had a fully-fleshed out documentation this time around. I'm talking about a complete encyclopedia/wiki of every kind of IPS code that can be used/referenced in templates, what they do, and all of the possible variables that can be used.
For example, I had to spend an unreasonable amount of time to trial and error myself, without much in the way of online documentation, the below code to tell IPS to simply display a record image in an Activity Stream entry if one existed and the entry happened to be a Pages Database entry. I was lucky I figured that out, but in other areas, trying to do things myself has not been so successful.
{{if $indexData['index_class']::$title == 'content_record_comments_title_1' || $indexData['index_class']::$title == 'content_record_comments_title_4'}} {{if $itemData['record_image']}} <img src="{file="$itemData['record_image']" extension="cms_Records"}"> {{endif}} {{endif}} I know documenting all the possible little things is really long and laborious work, but it could help unlock the potential of so many more amazing communities if theme designers knew of absolutely all of the tools they have at their disposal.
That's all I have in my head right now, but generally speaking I'm excited for what you guys have planned and can't wait to learn more.
Yeah agreed, an option where you can just upload an image directly to a topic (rather than having to rely on anything already existing in a topic post) would be ideal. Something that works a bit like a 'Record Image' does in Pages, only for Forum Topics. You could even template it and have it set as a 'header image/background' for a topic?

Looked at that originally but it needs the photo to be uploaded into a post on the topic itself which isn't what I'm after, since alot of topics don't have an attachment, and sometimes they do which are not relevant.

Allow us to choose whether we want load fonts or js via cdn or local. (CDN add unnecessary delays for some, so it's not always useful)

Full in-depth developer documentation with proper real-life full working examples on how to implement framework features.

Hi all,
Next week we plan on releasing a few blogs outlining what development looks like for Invision Community v5.
I was curious as to what changes you'd like to see, and what changes do you think are coming?

This issue was resolved in our recent 4.7.12 release of the platform. Please upgrade to this version to resolve the bug, and if you experience any further issues with this, please let us know.

He’s talking about the space and tab keys 
https://alexkondov.com/indentation-warfare-tabs-vs-spaces/#:~:text=Tabs are descriptive - they tell,should be used for alignment.

Hi, I’m looking to see if there is some built-in IPS code that allows me to check if a topic in a row is synced/connected to a Pages record.
The use case I’m thinking of, is something like, on a Forum’s topic list:
IF topic row is of a topic that has a connection to a Pages record (comments/topic replies are sync’d), THEN display [HTML]
I’d also like to be able to pull a Topic’s original post content and display it somewhere else when using Copy to Database so that the original topic content isn’t lost when the Page Record and Topic is sync’d up… but I’m guessing that’s more of a Feature Request to make and that’s not something I can currently do in v4?
Thanks for the assistance as always!

So with Twitter going a bit insane with all its API stuff lately, I have noticed that a lot of functionality on my IPS Suite no longer works (such as the ability for users to sign up/log in using their Twitter accounts). So I decided to deactivate the Twitter option from the 'Login and Registration' page on the Admin panel.
I don't know if it was the above action that caused the following to happen (or if the Twitter API stuff in general just caused this), but... I noticed that I now cannot de-couple Twitter from the 'Social Media Promotion' section of the Admin panel. And yet, Twitter fields and icons still appear in the Promote button/dialog which is functionally useless.

First, going to Social Media Promotion > Twitter shows that it's "not set up", which is odd because...

... the Twitter icon still appears on the Promote button...

... and an option for Twitter still exists. If it doesn't work (thanks Twitter), I don't want the option on here anymore, but obviously I can't remove it because IPSAdmin thinks the application is not set up. 

The problem is, as I suspected, I can't actually "re-set up" the Twitter application because going to 'Login & Registration' > 'Twitter' > 'Enable' and filling in the Settings results in constant errors. Obviously the problem with this is Twitter, not IPS, but that's the entire reason why I want to just get shot of the Twitter integration. But something's happened here where IPS thinks it's not connected to Promotions, even when it functionally is (despite it likely not working).
Not sure if it's just something on my setup because I pressed a button wrong somewhere and Twitter's API changes caused a lock on my Suite, but it'd be nice to have a hotfix for this issue in case it can be replicated on other communities.

Users would need to use the Forgot Password function to set a password and would need to know the email address they used with the linked login method. So you could or should explain that somewhere and inform your users before making the switch. 

Yeah I'm looking forward to seeing how you guys may re-organise these as there's a lot going on there now. Although I've gotten used to using them for different things (Pinned and Featured on a news database to feature in a home page highlights box, Featured on Forums to highlight user-contributed topics that we have turned into news stories, Promoted as a capture of all-site content - it would be good to be able to organise that/call results in IPS code by content type for this too).
Anyway, all this has made me wish death to all social media platform connectivity. Might just sunset the whole lot and ask users to straight-up register an account on my suite. No risk of anyone forgetting their credentials/emails then (he said... 🤣)

We're keeping that as you can still use the 'internal' method but we'll be reviewing all our promotion tools to make sense of them as we have a few ways now (pinned, featured, promoted, etc).

Thanks Matt, that's understandable. What would happen to the Our Picks feature, will that be going as a result of this as well in V5? Will there be some similar feature being introduced?

Yeah, that should be a stock option. Not just Gallery, but pretty much any content type could be available as custom field in a Pages database. 

We've removed the promotion tools in v5. With Meta increasing the barrier to get approved and Twitter falling apart, it doesn't make sense to keep it. There are various low-cost promotion tools such as Buffer (free tier) to manually post to social media, or you can connect via Zapier to post to social media.
 

I have a custom, not public released app, which allows one to cross-reference all the content suite wide.
Like show images from a gallery album in the topic or pages database record sidebar or header, link to records or downloads files from a topic (which will show the featured image in the sidebar)
 
It's coded way too limited for my own needs, I may release it for v5 because it's going to require a complete rewrite then.

Correct.
The reference is only stored in the cms_custom_database_x database tables inside the record_topicid field.

I think the topic itself doesn’t “know” anything about the Pages connection. That connection is stored in the table of the cms database. So you have to use a manual query to check if the current topic ID is present across any of your cms databases. Might not be a good idea. 

Thanks, I'm seeing that too. We'll get it fixed in an upcoming release.

Someone from IPS reviewed the file today earlier and couldn’t find anything obvious that would allow this. I would concentrate your efforts in your server configuration/wordpress install.

You have nothing to aorry about in that regard, really. Ips takes security very seriously and they have their customers best interests at heart. Hence why they check very thoroughly every single third party item submited in the Merketplace.

During upgrading can we please change the Username/Password fields (what ever mechanism) to allow use of 1Passowrd.  Ideally add ability to sing in using Apple/FB/Google? 
 

I noticed IPS has also uploaded a new patch fix as well relating to ‘cookie consent’ so I’ve installed that and cleared caches. Hopefully that fixes everything (unfortunately adding @adik’s code doesn’t quite resolve the logged in problem but it solved everything else).

We've just pushed out a patch that should address these issues with appearing to be logged out on first visit.
Please apply it from AdminCP > System > Get Support  - In the 'Invision Community' box, you'll see an optional patch (if applicable to your community).
