Invision Community 5.1: Complete event management
You can use the camera app on a phone to scan the QR code, it'll give you a link that'll open the web browser/PWA to continue the check-in process. It's something we've discussed though! It's a nice idea, but Apple doesn't make it easy. You'd need an Apple Developer account to get the certificate required to sign the Pass for the Wallet. Yes, you can disable and enable certain features. Allowing Members to RSVP with guests for example can be disabled. You can also decide who can RSVP with category level permissions. It's not possible right now to collect additional data, only their name, phone and email.

Any 8.x.x version should work, The form will tell you if you're using an unsupported version. We're preferring OpenSearch right now.

We replied to your ticket 30 minutes ago but haven't had a reply yet. Only you are having this issue right now, we haven't had any other reports. It looks like your upgrade may have been completed though.

It's a new index for this release. It might have taken a long time to execute which could cause the upgrader to go back to the prompt if it times out.

Many Gateway Time-outs Error 504 Happening with IC Cloud
Yes, this isn't accurate. One of the uptime.com bots is getting caught up in a WAF block which is causing it to report everything down when all their other nodes can access without issue. We've identified and resolved the issue this morning.

That's something I cannot answer, you would need to research the pros and cons of each platform.

5.0.19 is now available!
Currently, it's ES8 only. It will likely work, but we haven't fully tested it yet. Opensearch is becoming more popular since it continues the open source project whereas Elasticsearch now as a proprietary license.

5.0.19 is Ready for Match Day At the highest level, success is often decided by the smallest details. A perfectly timed pass, A moment of composure. The tiny adjustments that separate a good performance from a great one. Software development is often the same. Major features often grab the headlines, it's the countless refinements behind the scenes that shape the day-to-day experience. The fixes that prevent a rare edge case. The accessibility improvements that make navigation easier. The performance optimizations that save a fraction of a second, thousands of times a day. This release is full of those improvements, and unlike England at the World Cup, hopefully won’t fall apart after 60 minutes. You can find the full change log here Focused Beta Testing This release contains significant changes to our OpenSearch and Elasticsearch integration. We've moved to batched queue inserts to smooth out latency spikes and removed update_by_query operations during inserts, resulting in a more efficient indexing process. If you're participating in the beta, we'd particularly appreciate testing: Search results and relevance Activity Streams Content indexing New content appearing in search General search performance under normal community activity As always, thank you for helping us fine-tune the details before the final release.

Feature Request for Cloud - Enable AI Blocking
For ChatGPT/OpenAI, they have several different bots/crawlers. - https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/bots ChatGPT-User is allowed; that's the bot that will fetch data in response to a specific question. Typically, where this data is used, there is a link back to the page.

Feature Request for Cloud - Enable AI Blocking
Hi Chris, We do utilise Cloudflare Enterprise on all Cloud communities to block AI-related bots. Some, such as the 'User' bots, are allowed, but the majority of the AI crawling and AI search bots are blocked. Google is an exception because they use the same user-agent identifier for normal search crawling and AI crawling, although you could block this with a custom robots.txt. Are you seeing high guest traffic from a specific IP/Bot?

5.0.17 is now available!
Yes, I think we'll get to a point where we need to do that. A good example is MySQL 9.6, which removes (by default) the SHA1 and MD5 functions. However, we need to be smarter about it; an upper limit or specific supported versions would most likely block MariaDB versions (because they're so much higher). That would be problematic.
-
5.0.17 is now available!
This is how it works now. The problem is that < 5.0.16 didn't have the concept of a maximum or supported versions. It would only check that you had a minimum of X version. As you've seen some comments here, those using 5.0.17 with PHP 8.4 are blocked from upgrading to 5.0.18 until they fix the version issue.
-
5.0.17 is now available!
I should have clarified, by saying we'll be supporting PHP 8.5, I was also implying PHP 8.4 support at the same time. It'll be later this year. I've deployed an upgrade blocker for v4. Your AdminCP has told you for years that PHP 8.0 will not be supported in a future update. 8.0 and 8.1 are end-of-life and should be considered insecure.

5.0.18
This is an important security update addressing two issues. Cloud customers already have this update applied; you may need to run the upgrade process when you next visit your community.

4.7.24
This is an important security update addressing two issues. Additionally, this release adds support for PHP 8.2 and fixes issues with using Stripe in the AdminCP. Invision Community 4 will be discontinued on 31st December 2026, with security updates provided until then. Cloud customers already have this update applied; you may need to run the upgrade process when you next visit your community.
