Core 1.3.25: arrange your home screen
Members can now arrange their own home screen. They press and hold, drag the cards into the order they like, and hide the ones they don't use. You choose which screens allow it.
This update also works with Fluent Community 2.12, which came out on October 16.
Arrange your home screen
- Turn it on for a screen in Customize › Widget Screens. One switch lets members move cards, the other lets them hide cards.
- Members press and hold the screen to start.
- They drag a card to move it, or tap its eye to hide it.
- Hidden cards wait in a Hidden list. One tap brings a card back.
- Pinned cards stay at the top.
- Screens stay locked until you turn a switch on.
For your members
- Fluent Messaging: direct messages open faster, the way Fluent Messaging's own chat opens them.
- Fluent Community: opening a notification email in the app marks it as read, like your website does.
- Fluent Community 2.12: a space's unread badge clears once it's read in the app, like on your website.
- Fluent Messaging 2.12: chat menus match it, with no Block for admins and moderators.
- Fluent Community: space and course tiles now show their cover photos.
- Fluent Community login customizer: on a tablet, the sign-in screen looks like your website's login page.
- Better Messages: the bell's count now stays right on sites that use it too.
- Screens load faster and use less data when you switch back and forth.
- Better for members who use a screen reader.
- Long pages no longer hide their last lines behind the phone's buttons.
- Signing up no longer closes the app on Android.
For you (site admins)
- Fluent Community 2.12: spaces and courses show in the order you set there.
- FluentCRM: if you sell membership in the app, a member you've blocked can subscribe in the app to get back in, as on your website.
- FluentCart Pro: the cart shows each discount rule by name and the price before the discount, as your checkout page does.
- FluentAuth: a member locked out after too many sign-in tries is told to wait, in FluentAuth's own words.
- A new My Courses menu item, so all courses and a member's own courses can be two entries.
- A space or course bought in the app opens right away.
Two small fixes came after it. In 1.3.26, Android builds no longer run out of memory. In 1.3.27, members who pay for their membership on your website get straight into the app, and the renewal screen closes on its own once their membership is back.
Before you update
- This update needs a new app build and a store update.
- Widget screens start locked. Turn on the switches for any screen members may arrange.
- Set your Spaces order in Fluent Community. Customize › Spaces no longer sets it.
- Passkeys show only once the Deep Linking card on the plugin's Config tab is filled in.
