I'm not sure if draft posts is a thing, but it would be incredibly useful to have for us to be able to work on posts that aren't quite ready yet. While we're on the subject, since the community posts are simply a custom post type, I think it would be useful to expose that on the backend so you can create posts as a community manager using the native Wordpress editor, and thus be able to schedule posts easier, draft them, etc. Food for thought.

since the new UI update I dont know how to locate the topic ID.

Hi all,

After upgrading FC and Messaging plugin nothing is translated anymore. I have update po-files in LocoTranslate but there a many strings I cannot find and the strings I already had does not show in the frontend.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

After much deliberation and encouragement from my partner, I have decided to create an Events add-on for FluentCommunity.

SpaceEvents is now available as a public beta at a discounted price from www.tribetools.pro/item/spaceevents (use the code SE40OFF for a 40% discount).

SpaceEvents is an easy and intuitive addon with two main modes (Space only and Public Events), they can be run separately or together.

Space only mode - once installed and activated, you can head to any Space, click the 3 dots > Space Setting and enable SpaceEvents for that Space. You can also select who can create events, Admin, Admin & Mods or Everyone.

When enabled, head back to the Space, refresh the page and you will now see the Events tab. Clicking here will show all events in a List, Card or Calendar. I have kept the Add Events form simple for now but it has all the usual event related basics. Title, Short Description, Long Description, Start and End Date/Times, Featured Image, Location Type (in-person or virtual) Location Name and Address and Map, What3Words, Organiser Contact. Price, Capacity, Registration close date, Attachments. More feature will likely follow over the coming months.

Public Events mode - this really works best if you enable Global Post Status in the main FluentCommunity Settings > General. Once enabled, head to Settings > SpaceEvents to enable Public Events.

Copy the Public Events URL shown and add this to your Menu Settings (Primary Menu, Profile, Top Links or Sidebar Bottom links, or all locations). I have also included several SVG icons you can use for the links. On the SpaceEvents page you will also see which Spaces have SpaceEvents enabled (if any).

Head back to the main Portal/Home and refresh the page. You will now see the Events link you created. Visit the Events page, and you will see List, Card and Calendar views and the Add Events, which follows the same format as Space only mode.

There are a number of other options for sharing and promoting Events, by sharing to the Space Feed, members of that Space will see a notification, or if you are adding a Public Event, you can post to the Global Feed. If you enable both Space and Public events, you can also cross post to the Global Fed and Space Feeds.

Registration is basic at the moment, but there are plans to use FluentCart for payments. Attaching resource to events works, map/address lookup works and there's options to use other APIs in the WordPress Dashboard > SpaceEvents > Settings. Recurring and repeating events work, but not exactly the way I expect yet (will be in next release).

Users can also find the Events they are attending (and organising) in My Events in the users drop-down menu. Even Organisers can access a list of Attendees and export as CSV and PDF.

Below is a short video showing some of the features. If you are interested in trying and testing the public beta, please head over to www.tribetools.pro/item/spaceevents — use the code SE40OFF for a 40% discount your first year (works on both 1 site and 5 site licenses), I also offer a 30-day full refund if you are not 100% happy.

If you'd like to just see and play with the demo (Single Space only) head over to https://tribetools.pro/portal and create an account to check out the SpaceEvents Demo.

Happy to answer any questions here.

Cheers, David

I’m setting the homepage as the FluentCommunity portal by using:

define('FLUENT_COMMUNITY_PORTAL_SLUG', '');

This works in terms of routing, but it introduces a couple of problems:

1. Customizer Becomes Inaccessible

When the homepage is used as the community URL, the FluentCommunity customizer no longer loads. This means I can’t access the customizer to change FluentCommunity colors or other visual settings.

2. Disabled Modules Still Claim URLs (Courses)

If the Course module is disabled and the homepage is set as the community URL:

• domain.com/courses correctly maps to FluentCommunity courses instead of
  domain.com/portal/courses (which is great).
• However, when the Course module is disabled, FluentCommunity still tries to load the /courses route.

This causes conflicts when using TutorLMS or another LMS, effectively making /courses unusable.

To fully disable the courses route, I currently have to add this workaround:

add_filter('fluent_community/app_route_paths', function ($paths) {
    return array_diff($paths, ['courses', 'course']);
});

How about adding a forum feature to the community.

Is there possibility to set here 24-hour format or not yet?

Shahjahan Jewel, is it possible to know when the event calendar will be launched ? Even a basic event calendar like in skool...

It's really essential for us get it in our community.

It's the most requested feature in the Roadmap.

It's even MORE IMPORTANT than all your recent updates, which are still great.

Please give us some hope 🙏

Thank you for the great job.

Big thanks for the team for making a beautiful video player for our community.
I cannot tell you how happy this made me, and especially that it has a language switch, however....

Far as I can tell this needs a full video upload for each language and that can add up quickly both in work and space needed.
I have been using Plyr and they have the option to just connect (and sync) multiple audio files to one video. The language switch just changes to audio of choice.

Would you be so kind to look into this? Thank you so much.

Had a client testing the migration process in staging and it was hanging up on a database error. Come to find out.... if the Buddyboss install has the "Member Connections" component disabled, then the bp_friends table doesn't exist. The FluentCommunity migration looks for it by default, assuming it is on. Only way to fix, as of now, is to turn on the Member Connections component in BuddyBoss just to shut up the error. 😎
