A Couple Of Feature Suggestions

The more I use Fluent Community, the more small features I'd love to see implemented to make our lives a little easier and the community members experiences a little richer.

Here are a couple that I'd love to see included in future updates:

Cross post (with user level access): All approved users to be able to cross post the same post in multiple spaces without creating duplicate posts (and showing duplicates in the feed). This would need to be limited to either user roles and/or specific users to avoid abuse.

Un-publish posts: Sometimes, you create a post that is relevant for a period of time, and needs to be removed from public view (without deleting the post). I'd love to see an 'up-publish post' option included. Again, this could be locked to user roles or groups to avoid abuse.

FCRM Tag For Downloaded Content: I make exclusive content available to my members and would love to be able to tag users in FCRM who download the file(s) for future marketing/promotion/feedback through FCRM.

Multiple tags per post: I know others have asked for this, but I'll add my support for it. We need to be able to tag posts with more than one tag for filtering.

This is invaluable for Communities with a lot of posts/content and will help to make things more engaging for members and potentially avoid having to create more spaces than needed just to organise content into silos.

Looking forward to hearing others thoughts on these suggestions and hearing what Shahjahan JewelΒ thinks of these ideas. :)

Absoulety aggree with you! "Multiple tags per post: I know others have asked for this, but I'll add my support for it. We need to be able to tag posts with more than one tag for filtering."

Tawsif Ahmed RiyadΒ Thank you! Yes, I see that you can assign multiple topics to a single post. However, you can't filter by multiple topics at once, which is what's needed.

For example: A post featuring a 15-minute video about a vegan recipe. The user can't select both the "15 minutes" and "vegan" topics at the same time, so they can't filter by them.

Tawsif Ahmed RiyadΒ yes, that's exactly what I was referring to. Great to see it's already there - but multi-category filtering is still needed when a post is assigned multiple topics.

Download tracking is a must. It will be awesome to have it with some kind of new CPT for resources that can be added to the existing courses and spaces πŸ˜…

+1 for FCRM Download tag. I'd love that.

Cross post! I absolutely would love that!

Unpublish: I have already asked for an archive system and they said they would look into it

Totally agree with Paul CΒ suggestions πŸ‘

Re download tracking, I agree it's a must. I resolved this using fluent cart, as it allows to track and tag downloads (as a free purchase). Unfortunately, I am still unable to migrate from Learndash to Fcom due to the still wide feature gap.

I created FluentCommunity downloads tracker as a freebie 6 months ago. It does exactly what you suggested Paul C and is easily configurable.
