Offering a couple of early stocking stuffers to the community!
I have now created 3 FluentCommunity plugins, that I have yet to release, but would love to start getting some feedback from the community. As a carrot to entice you to stop by and check them out, I am offering a couple of super useful FluentSnippts you can enjoy for the free price of admission!
Plugins
- FluentCommunity Partners - Replace the ubiquitous Patreon - Ko-fi - Buy me a coffee / Discord community used by bloggers, YouTubers, Podcasters, developers, all sorts of people, combining the power of owning your community provided by FluentCommunity with the power of owning your donations platform provided by FluentCommunity Partners / FluentCommunity / FluentCRM/ FluentCart! The best part? It works with the free versions of the Fluent suite, but you need FluentCommunity Pro to get the full badge experience, and of course we recommend the full pro suite for best experience! Takes about 15 minutes to setup a fully engaged / supported community!
- FluentCommunity RSS Feeds - Post nicely formatted news or whatever articles to your spaces so easily, you can have hundreds of articles in just a few clicks!
- FluentCommunity Weather Widget - Add your local weather to your community, creating a local vibe to communities that are focused on local business or topics!
Free FluentSnippets
-
FluentSMTP Domain Blocker
- I created this FluentSMTP Domain Blocker snippet to allow normal emails through FluentSMTP, but block actual sending of test.com and example.com emails that I am using for testing with my staging site. It provides logging for blocked domains too, so you can still view your blocked email logs, which is great for testing all sorts of scenarios with test users, without actually sending. -
Auto unlock community spaces upon login -
I created this Auto unlock community spaces upon login snippet to provide a permission that was not built in to FluentCommunity.I wanted some spaces to be locked unless logged in, without the extra step of having to ask to join the space. If you are logged in, you are allowed into the space. If you are not logged in, it is locked.
Edit: staging site has been taken down with the launch of the real plugin site eminent. Thanks to all who participated in beta testing!
This is great, would love to test them both personally and for my website fluentplugins.nl
Gee Adriaansz Welcome, I see you made it in! The only person to beat you into my community was Jorge de los Reyes, but I gave him a personal invitation, so you are my first community member from this open invitation! Thanks!
Jeff congrats!
I’m sure this will be a great journey Jeff!
Jorge de los Reyes Thanks Jorge! That means a lot, especially from a
🏗️Architect Partner such as yourself 😆 I am so thankful for all your help!
Jeff awesome!
How can I try the RSS feed plugin? I'm in need of automating my FComm to social media, and this would definitely help.
Christian Frank My plugin is for creating content for my community. I think what you may be looking for is https://community.wpmanageninja.com/portal/space/community-meta/post/post-to-social-automatically-and-rss-fee?comment_id=40712
Jeff So yours takes an RSS feed and creates Fcomm posts??
Christian Frank exactly!
Jeff Pure. Awesomeness. How do I get it??
Christian Frank thanks! did you see it in action? I have not set a price yet, and hoping to get some feedback. How awesome? 😆
I would like to see how the FluentCommunity Partners one works. That gives me a great idea for my community.
Kevin Watson cool, go check it out. looking forward to getting some feedback.
Jeff So to get the download, I need to join one of the spaces? Or are you just wanting feedback from what I can see on your community?
Kevin Watson you should have access to the snippets downloads if you are logged in
Hi Jeff. Happy Holidays.. I need some clarity on your post. Congrats on creating extended functionality to Fluentcommunity. And thanks for offering early stocking stuffers... but what does that mean? Are you offering us your 3 plugins and snippets to try free? I think there's plenty of us open to test drive and review your products. I'd be glad to make video tutorial if I see any successful tool for FC. THanks
Hi Insta Net the freebies are the snippets. I would like to charge for the plugins, and hoping for feedback on the usefulness and quality of them, and any feedback I can get. I am looking for a couple more beta testers too. hit me up in my community so we can talk.
Jeff ok, thanks for reply and clarifying. Yes, one of our community sites a small local town.. so weather widget would be interesting, and the RSS of articles for that area would be nice to drip automatically from local sources, news feeds, bloggers, youtube channels, etc..
I'll signup to your community and continue convo.. cheers
I've already registered, I'd love to try those plugins on my test FC.
Jeff the FCom Partners is pretty cool. Does it replace the leaderboard? Either way, I like it and could definitely use it on my project I’m building.
Hi Jeff Brigman , no if you look in the front end it creates a new partners board and menu item. did you see that?
Jeff I did after I went back to look at it again.
Oh this looks great will have a look when back on desktop.
AI powered article summaries upgrade to my FC RSS News plugin drop to staging site coming out shortly, thanks to valuable feedback from Jorge de los Reyes and David Scurlock ! Thank you both for the feedback and especially Jorge for telling me specifically how to make it better!
Jeff you’re a beast Jeff!
Record time.
Jorge de los Reyes ai summaries is finally ready to test! I can't wait to see what you think! And Fluent support got back to me with a hook to fix the first post issue, so hopefully about 100% ready for prime time.
Jeff amazing news!
Can’t wait to test it out!
Any customizations available to tease us up before trying it? 🙈
Jorge de los Reyes customizations? I just need to create documentation and video tutorials now. go ahead and try a test post with rss summarization, but manually delete your priming the pump post so you can try a first post from the plugin. you can try different models and see the results, and then regenerate summary after changing model.
Jeff awesome!
Yes! With customizations I was referring to the prompting to the AI. If we can customize the prompt to the agent / integration.
Use case: if you want to query a legal notice, we may not want a summarization (poor users… ahha).. But just taking from the notice 3 elements. Like: name. Amount. Deadline. And URL.
Keeping it simple, but still useful.
I can show you our workflow if you want to take some ideas!
Jorge de los Reyes can you get or create rss feeds of those legal notices?
Jeff ah… love this!
Jorge de los Reyes I do exactly this, but using Flowmattic.
Christian Frank Yeah. I do the same with automators similar to Flowmattic too!
It's been like 15 years sharing info of this kind, but this time, and since roughly I will say 4 to 5 years, in an automated manner using this kind of tools.
I told Jeff that this is awesome, but that he should be aware of current BAT (Best Available Tech) since there are not a few solutions for this, not only from RSS, but from the automation field. Which is, as you may be aware... pretty customizable!
And much fun :)
Jorge de los Reyes I haven't heard of BAT (Best Available Tech), so I googled it, and I don't think that is what you are saying, lol. Hopefully there will be enough niche markets that don't want to have that kind of fun 😆
Jeff 😄 Got it, quick clarification.
BAT = Best Available Technology (legal concept -my bad! haha).
Its usually used to refer to the fact of judging a product (or offer) based on what already exists today, not future hype.
So if you launch an “AI curator” today, the real question is:
is this cutting-edge, or something already achievable via automation stacks (FlowMattic, Zapier, Make, etc.)?
Still valuable. Just important to frame it against today’s BAT.
That’s all 🙈
Jorge de los Reyes ha! I learn so much from you my friend!
Jeff well, that being said, just remember that the innovation isn’t the tech.
It’s how you bundle and position what already exists :)
Jorge de los Reyes I'm all ears! Creating a new product or invention is 10%, while marketing and delivery is 90%, IMHO.
Jeff gave me further permissions on his staging site to look at his plugins and it's some fantastic stuff. The back end settings are solid with some fantastic info and features going on. Hands down it's looking like some pretty solid addons for FluentCommunity.
I get tunnel vision sometimes when coding and this guy just gave me some new ideas to tinker with all because of what him and others are creating.
I can't wait to use the Partner plugin... that thing is a beast.
Jeff Brigman stop back in for the updated rss news ai update in a bit. thank you for the very kind words!
btw, I am still looking for one or two more beta testers to give admin privileges on the staging site to do some hammering on the plugins and give me feedback on usability, usefulness, design, layout, etc., and how intuitive they are to use. please contact me through my community if you are available to help.
Jeff sure! Let me know if I can help
This is good, I like the FC Partners. Keep it up Jeff
WiLson Eberechi thanks! I got the inspiration for the rss plugin from you man. I thought your rss plugin was what I needed, but it was for social media posting, so I got busy creating one.
Insta Net ✅ I am available in my community for questions. I don't understand why you come back to this community to ask me questions about my community. In this community, I am hoping people will come back with positive feedback about my plugins. hit me up over there please.
For anyone interested in beta testing my plugins, which I would appreciate, please head over to my staging website, and let me know you are willing to beta test them. Thanks!
Hi all.. just want to leave an update.. I recommend checking our Jeff recent FC "AI Content Curator" plugin.. it can easily pull in articles and schedule them to auto post to your community.
Latest update includes AI for magically summarizing 📝

Insta Net ✅ Where's the download link?
Insta Net ✅ I appreciate the kind words. I have created these plugins with a lot of inspiration from people in this community, but especially Jorge de los Reyes and @jewel. Like some certain ninjas I know, I developed a few products I wanted for my own small business, but in the process, decided to share them with the world, and have discovered a little secret I will share with others devs. FluentCart made this spin off business possible, with their built in licensing server, anyone can spin up a ninja inspired business! Shoot, I should have inserted my affiliate link to FCart right there 😆
I am still looking for a couple more beta testers, who will each receive an exclusive, Fluent style, VIP licenses for the products they help test, and spread the word, like Insta Net ✅ just did!
Christian Frank download what? It's a staging site for beta testers, with a couple of freebies as I said in my original post 👆I would be happy to include you in my beta tester group, if you are interested, but I would be the first to admit, if you you already use flowmatic, these products may not be a good fit for people like that. They were designed for people that want to have a ready made, 5 minute setup of the specific thing they do. TBH, I have never used flowmatic, ottokit, or any other automation systems, so I may be wrong about that, and I should dive into them at some point, especially if they can be the missing glue for my Fsuite. My products are also attempting to extend the functionality of the Fsuite! Hopefully some will find them useful. Soon, you will be able to just grab them from the wp plugin site 😉
The other target market for my products is developers, like the folks in this community, that want to have 10 or 25 site licenses, so they can include these tools in their portfolio of software in their agency or web dev business, like they no doubt already do with Fluent multi-site licenses.
Hello Jeff, I will be interested in your Community Partnersplug-in. When do you think you'll release it? :)
Anne-Sophie W In the next couple of days 🤞. Already fixed and tested direct messages changes after fcom 2.3, so should be doable.
