Immediate plan of action

Hey team,

I was looking for a solution like fluent community for as long as i can remember. The way it is setup, with all the settings its amazing. I know its still in its early stages but the potential is hugeeeeee.

Having played around, here is my list of changes that i guess should be added/modified asap.

1. Integration with woocommerce or fluent forms so that students can be added to the group or course automatically.

2.Moderatoration / reporting for posts and abusive words.

3. Ability to setup default Group.

4. Integration with shortcode based video players like Presto player

Please feel free to add comments so the developers are aware of what the customer sentiments are.

Cheers.

My list, from my previous post, and two other points:

  • As an admin, the ability to set a default discussions layout for all users: I’d like to set the compact view as the default in the feed instead of the β€œexpanded” view
  • A formatting toolbar could be really useful, both in topics and comments. This way, even the newbies could use all the commands without any issues :)
  • Changing how dates are displayed: instead of seeing "2 days ago," "2 hours ago," etc., being able to view the exact date and time (e.g., post from October 19th, 20:10 - and here I’d also suggest adding the possibility to customize the date and time format)
  • Custom emoji set: I’d like to be able to import my old, beloved emoji from my previous forum πŸ₯°
  • Restrict or limit users’ ability to delete or edit messages
  • It would be great to have widgets available for the homepage to make the UX more enjoyable and practical, for example events widget, RSS feed widget or similar, to embed recent blog posts at the end of the community section, a global chat widget, to have it optionally in a fixed place on the homepage (or another page), popular discussions widget
  • In the past, there were some unpleasant incidents in the communities where I was part of the staff, and some users wanted the ability to block another user, similar to what is available on Facebook. Invision has a similar feature, though it's obviously less powerful compared to Facebook's blocking
  • A community calendar
  • A calendar for each course

BTW, the integration with Woo, FluentForms and also with Paymattic already exist

Tanmay Kapse

Shanna Middleton

Linda Rando, thanks Linda this is what i was looking for, I am sure this woudl work for a regular group as well as a course right?

Linda Rando

Shanna Middleton, actually I don't know, sorry :(

Tanmay Kapse sorry, I missed your request for automatic enrollment

Gerard Godin

Can’t FluentCRM be used in the mix maybe?

Tanmay Kapse

Gerard Godin,thats already included. If you open the dashboard you will see it. Email marketing is handled by fluentcrm

Jonathan Gwyer

Tanmay Kapse,you can also use FluentCRM to tick off number 1 in your list - it has actions for adding people to spaces and courses.
