Invision Invision Community v5 enters Beta (2 Viewers)

For discussions about Invision Community platform features and tweaks.
Definitely exciting to see how communities use and integrate the new software additions within their communities. I may or may not have had a part in Cedric biting the bullet to renew :P
 

A worthy share.
 
I really enjoyed setting up my test site last night. Something about the IPS install process is broken - both 4.7 and 5.0 failed to install cleanly as per their instructions, dying with an error deep in the bowels of friendly URLs which clearly won’t work until the site has been installed. Unfortunately I wasn’t even getting to the “you have met the requirements” screen before it died trying to load a database connection.

I fixed it by installing a fresh 4.7, running into the same bug, patching the 4.7 to bypass loading friendly URLs, then upgrading to 5.0.

I dunno. Something about seeing it in front of me rather than in shiny videos feels underwhelming somehow (laughs)

So you enjoyed troubleshooting the installation? 😁

I've installed it a few times now and didn't have any problems. I run Windows/IIS which they say isn't supported. With 3.x I had all kinds of problems. Since I've dove back in things have ran very well with 4.x and 5 beta.

I have run into a few 500 errors. Those are all from the way IIS handles foreign characters. Have to turn on request filtering. Other than that it works extremely well.
 
I’m not running on anything exotic, it’s PHP 8.3 with MySQL and Apache. The issue I had was that it was trying to look up friendly URLs in the database before anything had installed which seems to me to be a bug somewhere…
