  1. Joining a club allows access to various specific resources directly, eliminating the need for members to navigate through different areas of the site. This represents a significant time-saving, enhances usability, and greatly facilitates achieving desired goals.
  2. can be a workflow with tasks to be carried out by members and each time they have completed a task they must check the box
  3. I initially used IPB around 2010, then again about 5 years ago, more for fun. However, I continued to follow the evolution of IPS and today, I am starting a serious and monetized project with a community. Currently, in rebuilding a site with IPS, I am noticing significant progress from the team. The introduction of a gamification system, improved ergonomics, push notifications, and the recruitment of Ehren are major advances to stay at the forefront of UI and UX design, as well as for PWA integration. In the past, with IPB 4, we had grievances regarding the design, mobile navigation, and the absence of a dedicated app. These issues are now resolved, eliminating any hesitation to stay on this platform rather than looking for another to manage a community. Regarding the marketplace, I remain optimistic, convinced that even without development expertise, the decisions made by IPS aim to improve and accelerate the product's evolution, while reducing bugs. This contrasts with WordPress and its vast user base, where major changes are risky and can hinder development due to the many interferences between applications and updates. Despite debates on the number of user applications available on IPS, the possibility to install applications remains, ensuring their availability for a few more years since they have not been completely removed. There are aspects that we must accept and adapt to. Apart from the absence of an Elementor-type editor, available on WordPress, I do not perceive a significant gap in IPS's current offering. This feature, although not urgent, could be added to enrich content management without impacting the ability to maintain a community. I believe we must stop seeing IPS solely in terms of forum installation, but more so today in terms of member and group management, as well as interaction between them. So even if forum participation may decrease, there are still many possibilities to use that can facilitate support, interaction, and individual tracking within the community. That's why I hope the upcoming products will allow for better online meetings directly on the site, live quizzes, coaching, personalized assistance, interaction within clubs, etc. Unfortunately, and maybe I'm wrong, IPS is not used and known to the extent that it should be despite being a very stable product. Many turn towards WordPress filled with plugins from different builders (thus bugs), and to try to build a community, which IPS already does in its core with group and member management and is surely less expensive when adding an app for gamification, another for the community, etc.
  4. ReyDev delivers exceptional work swiftly, and his support is greatly appreciated. As the creator of an extremely comprehensive LMS application, ReyDev showcases outstanding professional skills and an openness to feedback, always aiming to enhance his products. His commitment to continuous improvement provides an additional reason to highly recommend him.

  6. Your idea is relevant, but I doubt it aligns exactly with what we mean by authentic coaching. I would suggest instead considering private sessions between the member and staff to exchange assignments, correct work, and offer advice, etc. The coaching aspect could be better served by a dedicated application like Stratagem, or by enriching the IPS calendar to add more functionality. However, it seems unlikely that IPS will transform its calendar into a project management application, especially when considering the existence of highly developed external tools like Trello, Monday, and Calendar... They could then consider integrating these existing applications.
  7. Given the magnitude of time and resources required to manage a growing community, we are compelled to introduce a payment system. This measure aims to maintain a quality community and to fund a dedicated team capable of fully committing to this task. Managing a large community can quickly become complex. To address this, we can organize smaller groups with "clubs". This approach will allow for easier personalized follow-up, facilitate interactions, set specific goals, and strengthen mutual support within our community.
  8. Maybe what we could do for the moment to correct me if I'm wrong is to limit an event to a single person with a payment link in the event message. If he does not pay within 24 hours, he will be removed from participation. even if the members like things to be automated, you click you are automatically on the payment page, the payment is valid you receive a message that your appointment has been validated which removes your doubts has the payment been validated and my reserved place..
  9. I would like to emphasize the importance of integrating an active calendar in the development of the forum. It is crucial to understand that IPS evolves beyond a simple discussion platform. It is now necessary to offer a complete service, beneficial for both communities and each individual member. To reinforce this evolution, I request the implementation of a calendar that allows each member to offer their services, such as support or maintenance sessions, directly on the platform. This will contribute to enhancing the service aspect of our offer. I am aware that some features may be beyond your direct reach. In such cases, I encourage the integration of third-party applications, despite the potential additional cost due to per-user pricing. It is important to note that one of the major advantages of IPS is its ability to support an unlimited number of users without additional fees.
  10. If I sell hours of support or hours of lessons, the member must not simply purchase an hour of lessons, but an hour of lessons on a specific day, at a specific time slot. it would be too tedious if we let each purchased member have an hour and then have to discuss with them to find the right time slot, the right day...
  11. I find that we don't talk too much about the future of the groups and I have the impression that this party is a little neglected... while it is surely one of the fundamental bases for making the site more interactive and bringing more attractiveness to a community. This needs to be pushed a little more. have a group as if it were a school class, or a sports group... its own calendar with its events. the possibility of having interactive projects with clear monitoring of the stages what is accomplished what must not be accomplished. The forums are a bit dead in the sense that before it was good in the evening to come and see the news discussions, write a message or a discussion. but now few of them need to do it themselves because they absorb information every day. But the forum is an excellent thing when it is used well and adapted to our times and needs. It will then be possible to create small groups, because we are stronger together and have more motivation, and the monitoring of each person is better when it is small, because today people are tired and need help. to move towards a goal. Then think about how to help a person (adult or child) develop to achieve a goal (succeed in a diploma or other) using the IPS tool (forum, individual messaging, calendar, groups, individual support, coaching, project management, gamification) If we want to open a forum and wait for people to register to write messages or discussions.... it's more current on the majority of new communities I think. We must provide interactivity, with events, projects, give confidence to the member, show them that they are considered... We learn a lot through practice when the project is attractive and we absolutely want to succeed. For example, this forum could have been used, I think, by many members to learn development by selling them training with a project for them to develop an application for their site. no one wants to open a theoretical book to learn the code, but if we start with practice where we know where we are going it really makes us want to do it and give it our all. It's dead those who think that they will continue to sell training for a long time with hundreds of videos to watch, manage yourself and if you have a question send me an email or write a message under the video. many have bought and do not do them and will no longer buy for not doing so. the same for I think a forum in its future, just wanting a forum to give certain information in messages... it remains insufficient we will have to find how to provide interactivity, gamification is good but we need to go much further I think... the idea of the live topic is already a very beautiful thing in my opinion
  12. A normal gamification system should contain points, score, achievement badges and trophies and also a leaderboard. This is today part of the bases for the development of the forum (making the site more attractive and more interactive) We should perhaps also look at the methods of the games to get involved because I have seen people like to connect to their games in order to take their "virtual gift" because of the number of points. The question is also whether the should be based solely on participation in the forum. Being able to give points for participation in a calendar event, for success outside the forum, and also in third party applications. that points can be given manually and also by participation in the forum.

    IC5: Commerce

    Will calendar events be integrated into commerce? be able to charge for participation in an event
  14. Integrate calendar into commerce for paid events Can you give yourself the opportunity to make participation in an event chargeable? this would go much further than a simple physical event, it would make it possible to pay for coaching, sell lesson hours...
  15. Would it be possible in Invision 5 to be able to help each other in a community by the possibility of asking simple questions quickly without overloading the forum with useless subjects and also quickly finding answers to questions (a large well-classified FAQ) and that each member can offer services or objects for sale To be able to use all the power that the calendar could offer in the proposal of hourly or daily service, renting a car or an apartment... I give an example for a community of newly settled residents in a foreign country. Each member will need the help of the oldest who will need the help even of the oldest than them... The problem with telegram, whatsapp.. is that nothing is classified for example and we quickly find ourselves with hundreds of useless messages per day, also due to redundant questions, sales announcement written several times... It is also difficult to find with the search system an interesting commercial advertisement posted in the form of an image My suggestion for invision 5: - Could we have a party on the short message site that does not open a discussion and disappears after a certain number of hours. Interesting questions without existing answers in the site could be converted into subject or other - Could we use the calendar to offer paying things: Apartment rental, car rental, rental of everything to help members find interesting announcements more easily. because often a community also trusts each other more in a foreign country where a certain mentality on the meaning of service, quality is not the same And we as an administrator, we could offer a monthly subscription to offer ads or service in the calendar... also a big faq on all the administrative formalities, also find the useful documents to fill in etc. THANKS
  16. I would like to know more about the possibility of using an external sales page at invision with zapier and the ease of registration for a future member if the member validates the payment before registering on the forum, what will be his future approach once a valid payment to register? it will be like the link of an invitation page to the forum to register without payment (because he has already paid) or how? THANKS
  17. for example if I have a sales page word press, the person pays, it validates the payment sends a zap by zapier to add a member. then, how the member is added? because let's imagine his connection is cut between the payment and then the directions to IPS to add himself as a member during the process... Or do we send him an email containing a registration link? some can quickly cry scam when there is a technical problem in the registration THANKS
  18. thank you for your interest hoping that it will be done on Invision 5. I would like that the principal page is not any more the page of the forum, but rather the page of the contents of the member or then according to his group. moreover the forums can be in full decline, I believe I have read it from a member of the team moreover, but I think that it is necessary to understand that surely it is the forum only where one goes on his page to browse on it to read content talks, etc. but internet users and communities are not necessarily in decline. also the forum used in support of a blog article, discussion on a theme, ... we will always need to quickly find answers to our questions, content for our projects, ask for help on something.
  19. Thank you for your answers. To say I no longer use an active site and waiting to finish my digital media for my project. I then forgot the existing options. Indeed, I had forgotten the power of Page with widgets. what is more if we also add this plugin for example: https://invisioncommunity.com/files/file/9861-advanced-widget-display-settings/ I would like a page allowing quick access to his groups, his posts, his messages, also allowing to see the last integrated groups, his last subjects, his last messages... A useful page with useful content according to the member and his group a page 2023 sorry even 2017. as if you access the home page of your banking application people today are no longer very willing to browse a site, they want everything, right away not only general content of the site, but especially specific where we could call each of the swidgets "my events" "my messages" ...
  20. is it possible to create a personalized dashboard page for each member according to their group with the relevant content that you want to display: My subjects My messages My events My courses, My groups ... each member does not want to see a profil, but content related to their needs we are still late... THANKS
  21. the real differences in all existing and comparable products (forums, groups, LMS ...) to which IPB could stand out even better is to show members and groups that they are better valued, followed, supported IPS already has excellent settings for groups, members etc. can you in the future introduce something even more adapted according to the situation and the moment than the PM and the reactions which will please the members? Quick instant messages (reaction not chat) following a message on the forum or various successes, the opening of a private discussion on a subject or course following the commitment of a member, a file (school or other follow-up) or the administrator can quickly know who the member is precisely (his needs, his expectations, his projects), the remarks of his parents (tutoring forum), absences... that it is adobe and its similar in their products offered online, among their weak point which appears to me and to which IPB could be better is that. the admin panel around the aui self-help group members comes with /forum, groups, ...) If the core of the site becomes the members and the groups with a valued follow-up and that the members are pleased, the site will succeed even if the architecture and the design is poor. If the central base is the member, any product added to the site will work great and will surely succeed the most important will always be the added value, benefits, having the latest design...
  22. can the solutions of the forum be selected to be able to inform google of the answer to put on its QAPage ? https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/qapage?hl=fr#:~:text=Q%26A%20pages%20are%20web%20pages,%2C%20Question%20% 2C%20and%20Answer%20types. maybe this app does it but i don't think so
  23. I do hope that will change. that developers can create an application that improves upon what may already exist, or a better equivalent. and this is to everyone's advantage, customers and IPS alike. I don't think that IPS has refrained until today from creating similar applications that may or already exist in the marketplace. moreover, IPS is satisfied with the bare minimum in its applications, surely for lack of time, but which then does not make you really want to be used and rather to go and see (blog, sales page, LMS, ...), despite the fact that we can count on a certain stability of the products it must be said. there really is no advantage to living in an environment closed to everything, without "competition" moreover where it is the customers who are the first to suffer, see even IPS the marketplace can only be an advantage in the sense that it serves to improve the product and things where the IPS team does not have time to focus on it. as we were able to receive the number of installations of a popular application, I would like to know the number of customers who have decided to switch to the cloud in order to be able to use races, or improved gallery, video encoding... otherwise, I don't question the cloud, but when my project is running, when it brings me income, of course I prefer to go to the cloud. especially since I believe that there may no longer be any bugs with third-party applications when updates are made and this is a great inconvenience of the cloud, I hope it deletes. and certainly from a certain number of users it is certainly more profitable to go to the cloud, and this allows IPS to continue to live, which is also an advantage for customers.
  24. I really don't know what to say except I hope that all these modifications are full of good intentions towards customers and developers as well, which allow many of us to stay in this community rather than seeing other similar products. I think that you can't have everything without anything, and that you have to have to give up accepting many things, even difficult for a better future product. for the developers it will surely be a lot of work to update but I hope that afterwards there will be less work to update their applications for future versions which will then give them more time to improve them I can understand that you close your system as much as possible in order to have a bug-free product, but I hope that you do it for the purpose of improvement and not of exclusivity there are plenty of paid products better than yours but limited and sold by number of users. and your very strong point of the cloud it must be said is that you do not limit the number of users and views etc. the developers can help us to have products similar to others for a very competitive price and where the cloud could then be interesting to be taken if we can have what we need without limit. do what you have to do but be careful that the choices are not only about money because I don't think that makes a community, social product successful... we could see it a little with twitter.. .
  25. can you translate a bit for non-developers? because if I understand the plugins will no longer be available as is but the applications yes do all applications in v. 4 can be updated to v. 5? some plugins no and others yes by becoming applications if I understand? but no real answer yet because it is under development if I understand the advantage of this update is an ease of compatibility of applications with future updates, even large ones and months of interference between IPS and certain plugins which brought certain malfunctions why do you underestimate the value of the market? while you do not know the future of IPS, what will be its future potential customers? nor the number of customers developing in-house third-party applications also see your direct competitor how being the word press community using bbPress, woo commerce, learn dash (LMS) and others, and not just professionals you can greatly outperform them if you don't underestimate the market here your admin panel is better and incomparable, you can manage members and groups better here, there are a lot of bugs here and third party application problems due to updates and it will be even better in the future as I understand it is possible to do much better here and cleaner than the equivalent of the applications available at word press the applications here are much better in options than their wordpress equivalent you want to create an LMS then at least leave the possibility to the developers to improve it and make it better than learn dash from word press
