    Unfortunately, no response from @SoftwareFactoryย as of yet and I am not expecting one either as they seem to have been MIA for a while now.ย 
    I have not found any other way to contact them either as I wanted to see if I could check in with them, outside of the IPS forums ๐Ÿ˜žย 
    This is possibly a dead plugin.ย

    The third party community plans to launch a coordinated Marketplace Directory that at least lists all of the files in one location.ย ย 
    Developers will handle support and payments on their own site, but at least you will be able to browse and access files in one location.ย ย

    @Lindyย I sincerely see other ways for you to do this.
    As I said earlier, the marketplace is a great showcase that connects developers to IPS customers without leaving here. Having this removed makes life difficult for your clients in trying to find resources quickly without having to go to thousands of developer websites.
    My idea is, remove the paid market and keep a free market so that developers can maintain this showcase, so they start offering two versions of the product. A free one, where the user could get it directly from the IPS website, and the paid (full) version that would be described within the product and the user would be redirected to the developer's store.ย Where he would have all financial responsibility for the product.
    Example 1

    Example 2

    ย 
    IPS could go another route, which in this case would be to charge a small fee to developers who publish resources with a limited free version. And keep the market for developers who support the community with completely free resources.
    Many of these resources are made with good heart and are freely available in the market, such as translations that connect people all over the world, and all of these will be "lost".

    I would like to ask why the structure of the Invision Marketplace couldn't still exist here, but instead of financial transactions and downloads being handled by Invision, just remove the commerce aspect of it and just let it be a "Downloads" directory with hyperlinks back to the author's site. The author could still update the application or theme's description, changelog, and compatible versions here at Invision, and the client would still be able to shop around here where they feel comfortable, and if they find something in your [former] Marketplace, they click through to the authors personal site.
    Downloads allows for URL submissions as it is. Why not retain that directory of applications here? What Joel is proposing to do, you could set up in a short amount of time and then it would be almost on autopilot. An existing Invision directory would only increase exposure to the applications that 3rd party devs have created and sell.

    That's not 100% true for self-hosted:
    For applications you can indeed download a copy of the folder from the server and you're done. For plugins however it's not the case: missing install/upgrade files, resources, javascript, etc. Manually re-creating a plugin's XML file after it's installed is a real pain. ย 
    I received some requests for updating old plugins and since they didn't have the original XML file it was a really annoying process upgrading them.

    After 5 years or maybe even more of using Invisioncommunity packages until 4.6+ I was pretty happy with everything. Now there are some new updates coming out every now and then.. Especially now with the latest update 4.7 a lot of plugins aren't working anymore. I have this problem with "Couldn't get the list of blocks.." on manage blocks on 3 or 4 suites.

    The suggestion for today is:
    Plugins such as, 'General Statistics', 'Who Was Online', 'Group Name Indicator' should be directly implemented to the invision community packages for installation.
    It would help a lot of community owners and even businesses with these plugins.. Because with all the updates going on now, we get new features but also a lot of problems for current plugins already installed on our website.

    Please consider my suggestion and try implementing it. As a invisioncommunity client I'm pretty satisfied with the services provided, but we need a little bit more.

    Hi guysย 
    What about for next feature you will addย Login via QR code option?
    The new mobile app includes logging in with a QR code will allows you to skip entering your username and password. The process relies on 2SV data stored in the app on your phone, thereby securely identifying you on forum with the help of your mobile device??

    Maybe someday. I really donโ€™t feel very motivated to add something, spend some development time because one purchase. This in the end may become one more resource to update because one single purchase. So, noโ€ฆ it may change it goes well in marketplace.ย

    Team,
    Within the ACP when accessing the Marketplace, it would be very helpful to be able to filter results down to applications that have been previously purchased and/or installed. ย This would make testing easier to find the resources I'm currently using for testing or updating. ย 
    Thanks!

    Hey fam, would you guys find short links for our IPS forums to be useful?
    So instead of pasting a long link, or using Bit.ly (for example), a plugin/app is created that generates a short URL for your board.ย 
    Bitly just started capping how many links you can create in a month on their free account.ย 
    Thoughts?ย

    ZLTRGO reacted to The Old Man in Time for an IPS4 performance review/update?   
    I don't know about you, but I'm wondering if it's perhaps overdue that IPS got stuck into a huge performance and speed based review and implement it in the next medium sized update! I think a lot has changed in recent years in relation to site performance. Core Vitals in Lighthouse as many admins will be aware are now much more important in terms of SEO ranking, performance isn't just for the obsessed enthusiasts any longer!
    Google Search Console tells me that on one of my IPS Communities, my Mobile Pagespeed test result sucks, just 28%-30% at present, so I started checking a few things under the hood. I like to keep my sites high performing, so I was quite surprised it was so low.ย 
    One thing I found out in minutes looking at the optimisation list and then checking my IPS configuration is that if you have the IPS Lazy Loading feature enabled, it doesn't apply to your uploaded images in Advertisements or Post Author Member Group Icons. Both are shown in my topic view so I get scored down on mobile in particular.
    I think it's now time that Native Lazy Loading was offered, either as a choice or as the default if enabled.
    Also where possible IPS should support Local WebP conversion via the Task Manager.
    I know some of us sometimes bash IPS for not delivering more obvious updates like Gallery, Blog, Pages and Commerce improvements for the sake of instead quick things like disabling features but IPS4 is quite a huge behemoth these days, no matter your pricey VPS, CiC, use of Redis pools etc.
    More performance improvements I'd like to see considered include...
    (Now admittedly I'm basing this list on a similar big audit that another website framework I invested in conducted and implemented last year. These are the options you can now simply toggle off/on as a result in their Dashboard. They can make a huge difference to bloat.)
    Dynamic Modular Framework
    Enable this to allow the IPS Framework to only load code that are actually used on the page, and process the logic for the features in actual use.
    Dynamic CSS
    Dynamic CSS could greatly reduce CSS file size by dynamically generating only the styles and assets necessary for the features and modules you actually use. This eliminates most if not all CSS file bloat and greatly improves load times.
    Dynamic Icons
    Font Awesome is 2 generations behind. The FA4 icon font could be broken up into various subsets. These subsets are loaded only when needed based on the modules and features used on each page. If you need access to the entire icon font on all pages (for example, if you are using lots of FA icons in a custom theme or want to allow members to insert them via the post editor), then you could disable this option and load the entire icon font library on all pages.
    Load Dynamic Stylesheet In-line
    This option dequeues the IPS style.css file and prints the needed contents in-line. This removes a render blocking request and improves the PageSpeed scores of individual pages. However, it also prevents the style.css file from being cached. Since the stylesheet is often smaller when dynamic or critical, it could be recommended to keep this option enabled. Accepted there are some potential CSP-related security concerns with inline CSS an or JS.
    Critical CSS
    Critical CSS greatly improves website load times and Google PageSpeed scores by deferring non-critical styles and eliminating render-blocking CSS requests. Critical CSS often covers what most users see when first loading the page, so called 'above the fold' content.
    Critical Threshold Height
    When Critical CSS is enabled, IPS would determine an "above the fold threshold" and defer all styles for elements below the fold. However, this threshold is just a estimate and can vary on different devices. Increasing threshold height will deffer fewer styles, resulting in slightly slower load times but less of a chance for Cumulative Layout Shifts to occur. If you are experiencing CLS issues you can then increase or lower the threshold 'height' via a drop-down low, medium, high setting.
    Dynamic JavaScript Libraries
    When enabled, IPS would only load external JavaScript libraries when they are needed by a specific sections or modules on the page. This removes unused JavaScript from the main scripts bundle and improves load times.
    Improve Google Fonts Loading
    Enable caching of Google Fonts and load them inline. This reduces render-blocking requests and improves page load times. Also presents an opportunity to switch to the Google Fonts API, to offer a dynamic dropdown list to allow admin to choose from all available GFonts. The Task Manager could check for and cache new versions of selected fonts in use weekly.
    Limit Google Fonts Support For Legacy Browsers
    Enabling this option will lower the size of Google Fonts and improve load times, however it will limit Google Fonts support in some very old browsers. You can turn this off to increase support for losers insisting on their older insecure browsers at a slight cost to performance.
    Defer jQuery And jQuery Migrate
    When possible, jQuery and jQuery Migrate could be moved to the body to speed up load times. If a third party plugin registers jQuery as a dependency, it would be moved back to the head.
    Enqueue jQuery Compatibility Script
    Some third party scripts may be incorrectly enqueued without declaring jQuery as dependency. If jQuery is deferred, these scripts could break. If you are experiencing console errors after enabling the "Defer jQuery And jQuery Migrate" option, you can enable this option, which will load an additional compatibility script that will attempt to solve the issue. (You can turn this feature off if everything is working fine without it).
    Defer Additional Third Party Scripts
    Warning: This can cause JavaScript errors in some cases and should be used with care. When enabled, scripts registered by plugins and themes will be deferred to improve performance and jQuery will always be loaded in the body.
