I'm writing to propose the addition of a business directory feature to the Fluent Community platform. This feature could be implemented either as a core functionality or as a standalone plugin.

Key features of the business directory:

  • Business listings: Businesses could create profiles with their name, address, website, phone number, and a brief description of their services.
  • Search functionality: Members could search the directory by keywords or categories to find relevant businesses.
  • Reviews and ratings: Members could leave reviews and ratings to help others make informed decisions.

Benefits of a standalone plugin:

  • Flexibility: A plugin would allow for easier customization and updates without affecting the core platform.
  • Scalability: It could be adapted to other platforms or communities if desired.
  • Community development: A plugin could be developed by the community itself, fostering collaboration and innovation.

I believe this feature would be a valuable addition to Fluent Community and would enhance the overall user experience.

Thank you for considering this request.

Hi Rosvaldas,

Thanks for your suggestion. While "DirectoriesPro" on CodeCanyon might be a good option, developing the business directory feature in-house offers several advantages:

  • Seamless Integration: A custom-built feature can be seamlessly integrated into Fluent Community, ensuring a cohesive user experience.
  • Long-Term Support: Our development team can provide ongoing support and updates for the feature, ensuring its longevity and compatibility with future platform changes.
  • Tailored Functionality: By developing the feature in-house, we can tailor it to the specific needs and requirements of Fluent Community, ensuring it aligns with our vision and goals.
  • Community Involvement: We can involve the community in the development process, fostering a sense of ownership and encouraging collaboration.

The WP Ninja development team is known for their expertise in WordPress development and their commitment to delivering high-quality solutions. By leveraging their skills and experience, we can create a robust and reliable business directory feature that enhances the value of Fluent Community.

You're talking like a robot. And probably thinking like one too

100% of text is likely AI-generated 🀣 Have Fun!

ps. that is why we need to implement some limits (length, number of posts, rateLimit, keywords checking and Report posts to the Admin/Manager for verification) to prevent smart asses of flooding our communities with a lot of AI generated comments etc

ps2. maybe we can have any integration with API checking if submitted content was generated by AI (in this case post could be automatically flagged and Admin can suspend the user account)

Not Important πŸ˜‡, if you guys do that it would be really the next level social network solution, I'd really like to see roadmap too in order to understand your ambitions. Before roadmap is not shown everyone will write their fantasies that have nothing to do with real business especially a next level social network solution.

Winston Davis

Yes. based on original ideas and concepts to improve the community. and then placed in an AI model to clean it up and add structure. What kind of retard are you?

Cointacter

Winston Davis, yeah it's pretty obvious how you put it down. You put your idea that isn't actually relevant and make chatgpt to put out some explanations why it would help them. But in reality you yourself have no understanding of what should be done if you were fluent team and it's just spam. You've seen no roadmap and asked for integrations that don't even make sense.

Winston Davis

Point taken, i have looked at the roadmap. and to you. You think that it is spam? I don't. I see it as a way to quickly expand on the ideas and concepts that can be implemented in the plugin. And as for relevancy, we will let the team and the community decide.

Cointacter

Winston Davis, I don't see the roadmap of fluent community, please show it to me if you can see it. If we all see it then we can talk relevant stuff and add proper comments, without that when you're putting in like 2 plugins for the same thing and ask to integrate both while none of them is neither the best in it's category nor the fastest in terms of performance, then it makes me think most of your posts is spam.

Winston Davis

in the top right hand conrner of the menu nav bar click on roadmap. then you have two options View roadmap or view changelog. and by the way I hope that no one is requesting to change my password. that ould be a form of imtimidation and bulling.

And the final word on spam would be the moderators and the development team

The Space Engine plugin offers that for BuddyBoss. It would be a great addition to build an option like that inside FluentCommunity.
