Invision Community 5

This application automatically displays similar existing topics while a member is creating a new topic, helping prevent duplicates and encouraging better discussions. As soon as the user finishes typing the topic title, the app searches the community using the IPS Core Search engine and shows an expanded list of relevant topics directly on the posting screen. Some benefits for your community include Elasticsearch compatibility, fewer duplicate topics, improved content discovery, enhanced posting quality, and cleaner forums with reduced moderation effort.
How it works:
User starts creating a new topic
When the title field loses focus, the app:
Builds a search query
Executes a Core Search request
Matching topics are shown instantly below the title field
Users can review existing discussions before posting
Settings:
Number of topics to display
Minimum topic title length
Can view Similar Topics
View Similar Topics in (specific forums)

This application adds a Share This Post link to posts that are not visible to guests, to easily and quickly copy the post URL. Because IPS does not provide this option, users must manually copy the post URL from the post date, meaning registered users lose the ability to easily share posts when guest access is restricted.

Campaigns:
You can bring the Invite System to the real world by using campaigns, where people can register using the same code for a given number of days or until a limit of registration is reached.
Campaigns DO NOT send emails. The purpose is to use its code somewhere else.
Campaigns are independent of the invitation system, so you can simply leave it disabled if you don't want to use it.
You can also use invitations and campaigns together.
