Nice Team.
I will install new update now !
Let's all together make this version stable and enjoyable for all IPS customers.
Thanks to the development team for all their dedication.
❤️ 

Happy Hump Day, fam! Before we dive into the goodness, I just want to say thank you for being a part of Invision Community. It's been really fun to see community members and the IC team become even more unified as we've rolled out 4.6. 🥲 
Speaking of...(!!!) 4.6 Beta 2 is now live! 🎉 
It's worth reminding you this is the third Beta version (it follows Beta 1 and Beta 1.1).
We collected a roundup of changes needed and spent the last week implementing updates. 
Not only did @Matt write an epic blog post about what you can expect to see in 4.6, he also relayed this list of fixes 🤯 
Added a no search results message when searching Pixabay and Giphy. Added truncated views for status updates. Added a new check to make sure a datastore method is working before using it. Clarified that a template must be saved when editing template variables/attributes. Fixed an issue with an alert message not showing when selecting ‘Administrators’ as Secondary Group for Members. Fixed an issue when an anonymous online status doesn’t persist across logins when using button log in methods. Fixed an issue where it wasn’t possible to grant access to the email stats page to a limited Administrator. Fixed an issue where the Standard login handler title isn’t saved on edit. Fixed some admin control panel live search results linking to the wrong page. Fixed an issue where text when using the visual language editor could be white on a white background. The last post date in fluid view will no longer extend beyond the browser width on mobiles. Fixed an issue where JSON-LD data was badly formatted for Question/Answer forums or when “Enable Solved” was enabled. Fixed an issue where phrase searches containing stop words could return no results. Added an option for members to cancel expired subscriptions to be able to purchase another subscription. Fixed an issue where PayPal Billing Agreements / Subscriptions may not include sales tax. Fixed an issue when approving a held Stripe transaction if the payment has already been captured. Fixed an issue where an empty donations page was visible creating a soft 404.  
 
4.6's official release date for all is set for the first half of June. 
Beta versions are available for Cloud clients (by request), or can be downloaded if you are self-hosted (proceed with caution and please make a backup!).
Have YOU been testing out 4.6? What are your overall thoughts now that you've had a minute to soak it all in? Sound off in the replies! 

We know that today it is very essential to have a better control of our products as well as reports of official releases, suggestions and or problem solving.
I would like to suggest to IPS that they consider the possibility of creating their own and standardized application of the system itself so that we can have a better control of our products.
I know that it is possible to create a report tracker using the Pages feature, however many IPS clients do not have extensive knowledge in the development area and this ends up making it difficult for these potential clients to work with their respective projects.
So I would like to suggest to the IPS development team the possibility of bringing us an application 100% dedicated to this.
A report tracker where our customers can send suggestions, bug reports and everything in between.
An application where it would be possible to define the statuses and how they will behave.
Who could use this application (groups) and the like.
Well sorry for the long text the idea is this I hope to have a positive response from the development team.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to part 3 ( Part 1 & Part 2 ) of our series for 3rd party developers.
 
Let's recap the interesting stuff:
A new extension was added to the core app to allow 3rd party apps to extend the achievements.
Content Items can be marked as anonymous
We have cleaned up our code and have removed almost all the deprecated methods and variables!
 
One if the most concerning changes for IN_DEV users will probably be our new ACP warning once the CSRF Key is being exposed in the ACP

 
That's nothing to worry about, it's only returned with enabled IN_DEV mode, but please take it serious and try to avoid any redirect to any URL containing the CSRF key and containing user generated content.

I am testing the version and I am not sure what type of feature I should pay more attention to in my tests.
Aiming that the update notes got huge.
I can say that the little that I tested I feel that it will not be a beta version for a long time.
And this is very good 🙂
 

Hey team, it's been 84 years (if you know you know), but...
We're excited to announce that Invision Community 4.6.0 Beta 1 is officially live! 🎉 
@Matt has a blog post on the way detailing all of the amazing additions, including how many commits and lines of code that were changed. A lot. The answer is a lot. 
Just to refresh your memories, some of the biggest changes/additions include:
Achievements (Points!) Web app and Push notifications Anonymous Posting when posting as a member Highlight Topics with replies from specific Groups Spam Improvements (And more!) It's available per request for Cloud customers or, if you're self-hosted, by manually downloading it.
Self-hosted: please make the necessary backups before upgrading. Because this is a Beta, please understand there is an inherent risk when upgrading.
The more information/feedback we get, the better we can optimize and improve things 🙂
If you find something and would like to submit a bug, please do so here.
Looking forward to hearing what you think! Sound off in the replies below. 

First bit of feed back on achievements. While I see an option to manually add a badge, it has to be done via AdminCP? Wouldn't it make sense and save time to be able to manually add a badge while on the front end via the members profile? Seems very long winded to have to sign in to ACP, find the member, go to profile, press badges and then add badge.
Also, there is no badge box on a user profile when first setup under 'Your Achievements'.
However, once a badge is added the box appears. But, I believe that a box should already exist, that you can press to go into (like the rep box) and there we could have a button to add badges.
And to add.

I think a few sites will have a lot of badges (I believe I will) so, instead of having to scroll forever to find the badge. Could it be fed back that we could setup categories and add badges under each one (ACP)?

I am testing the version and I am not sure what type of feature I should pay more attention to in my tests.
Aiming that the update notes got huge.
I can say that the little that I tested I feel that it will not be a beta version for a long time.
And this is very good 🙂

Nice version !
Congratulations for all team Invision ❤️ 

HAPPY Hump Day! 
A lot has gone down in the last week or two. In case you need a little refresher, we recently soft-launched Achievements. It'll be available for all in the coming weeks, but for now you can get a taste of it here in our own community. 
The response has been insanely epic 👏 
The feedback even more so 🤯 
I personally took notes of all the feedback provided. We've already started implementing some key changes (shout-out to our super talented development team!! Show them some love in the comments), including:
Explanation for how you earned a badge Current position / max number of ranks shown so you know how far you have to go Added tooltips on rank badges Added lazy loading Optimized rebuild routine Fixed a bunch of bugs I know that only scratches the surface, but keep in mind we'll continue better Achievements over time! 🤠
Lots to absorb here. Now that you've had some time to digest Achievements, how are you feeling about it? Sound off in the replies below! 🥳
PS - here's a short-list of some of the 4.6 fixes we worked on in the last week:
 
- Added a confirmation pop-up when mass approving account withdrawals.
- Added an option to limit Withdrawal requests to one per currency at any time. 
- Fixed an issue where the AdminCP livesearch results link to categories instead of blogs.
- Removed Aggregate rating from JSON-LD structured data
- Worked around a bug in MySQL when viewing statistics in the AdminCP.

Happy Hump Day, fam! 
Been receiving a lot of messages about 4.6 and Achievements. We're near the finish line (I know that's annoying to hear but we're close!).
Why the wait? We absorbed a ton of useful feedback from you and are implementing it 👏 Achievements is turning out even more epic than what we launched here a few weeks ago 😭. It'll be worth the wait (again, annoying I know, but sit tight).
Our talented team of Code Yodas™ (aka our developers) implemented some cool additions that'll make their red carpet debut in 4.6. 📸 
The ones we're highlighting today are the improved appearance of Notifications Settings and Top Files reporting in the ACP. Shout-out to YouTube Short URLs being fixed as well.

Improved appearance of Notifications Settings
You'll notice we're adding more flexibility to control what kinds of notifications show, and incorporating them with the Push notifications feature. 😍 . Thanks to @Rikki for hooking up the screen shot preview!
 

 
 
Most Downloaded files statistics in the ACP
And for the data junkies, we've also added statistics for the most downloaded files in the ACP. Shout-out to @Matt Finger for this implementation!




 
Our full list of changes made in the last week:
- Fixed an issue where changing table filters could cause the table to be stuck in loading state due to an underlying error.
- Fixed an issue where Stripe webhook events may fail in some circumstances.
- Account settings will no longer prompt for re-authentication if the account does not have a way of re-authenticating. Applies mostly to custom SSO integrations.
- Fixed an issue where Youtube Shorts URLs would not embed.
- Fixed an issue where API requests may cause an error if referencing transactions from deleted members.
- Improved the appearance of the Notification Settings screen.
- Added support for converting Markdown formatted posts in Vanilla.
- Fixed some issues when converting from Vanilla and your files used to be in S3.
- Added statistics pertaining to the most downloaded files

Lots of exciting things going on here. What's your favorite from the list? Sound off in the comments - we'd love to hear from you! 

Hello through this I come to suggest to developers to make a complete integration of WHMCS with IPB.
I currently manage 2 companies with almost the same purpose but unfortunately I end up separating my platform clients and this has been a big problem.
It would be interesting for developers to integrate the IPB system with the WHMCS primary functions such as:
Record
Profile
Revenues
Sale
Type of services (cPanel, cloud, vmware application)
It is extremely complex, I know that, but it will strengthen the community whose focus is IT applications and solutions.

In AdminCP go to your Database, click edit, select the tab Option and untick the option Moderate new records.

Yes, it would be very interesting.
And it would also help with the blocking that PayPal does on balances received for transactions carried out by my customers.
This situation is somewhat complicated.
It would also help in cases of disputes and or similar.

The idea would be to provide a way for our customers to download their respective invoices for organization purposes.
Some of my clients have been asking me for this a way to be able to attach and or download: PDF all their respective transaction history.
I didn't find anything in the marketplace that could be useful in this way.

Yes that would be a workaround but not when you have hundreds of them! If a service is build to charge members, the backend to manage those payments should also be built. There will be clients that have hundreds and thousands of payments. We just can't waste our time using the print function and then viewing the invoice, then generate the invoice and save it. There should be a function that allows us to download all invoices from a predetermined date range.
Thanks a lot

I second this idea. IPS lacks the possibility to download an invoice, or letting the members download their invoices.
IPS should allow admins and members to download invoices. And the administrator should be able to download all invoices at once.

https://invisioncommunity.com/release-notes/

There is no specific schedule. We release updates when they're ready and as needed.

AdminCP > Members > Profiles
Add new custom fields and configure them to be requested on registration (or use the profile completion tool if using the quick registration mode).

You can download the latest update from your client area. Then upload all the files and run ...your.site/admin/upgrade/

Client area. Download the latest stable Invision Community but check Include Converters? before download.
