Intelligent and extensible community management and moderation for your forum.

Features 🚀

Post Shield: A module leveraging Azure AI Content Safety to analyze text and images in posts and auto-flag if they meet user-defined criteria.
Extensibility: Create additional custom modules, and define attributes for modules to access!

📌 Roadmap

This release is just the beginning! I decided to release this with my first finished module to gather feedback and see what you all would like to see in an extension like this. I will consider adding suggested modules provided they make sense! I'm also considering potentially expanding this with a future pro version that includes extra advanced modules and premium support, so stay tuned for that! I have a lot in store 😉

Installation

Install with composer:

composer require ordinaryjellyfish/sentra:"*"

This project is open-source, so feel free to get involved! Again, feedback and contributions would be greatly appreciated.

OrdinaryJellyfish This extension seems to do everything much better than the "AI Moderator" extension I had in mind at one point. Congratulations on developing this amazing extension.

I have a few ideas in mind;
I think it could make sense for some forums to review the usernames and email addresses of new members. I believe the AI could review usernames that contain disrespectful phrases, such as those with wordplay.

The AI could also review the biography text when it is changed and, for example, prevent its use for advertising purposes.

These suggestions may not be applicable for every forum, but I believe there will be forums that could benefit from them.

huseyinfiliz that is precisely why I'm making this extension as modular as possible 🙂 I'm currently reworking all the APIs for the next version, but something like what you want should be pretty doable! For bio screening, you'd just need to reuse the service I made for the post screening.

0.2.0

This update contains no changes in functionality or UI, but this does include a small refactor of backend APIs, so if you've created any custom modules/services, review the documentation for changes before updating.

Updating

composer update ordinaryjellyfish/sentra:"*"

OrdinaryJellyfish

0.3.0

I realized that services are kind of redundant so I have removed them. Instead of those, if you need to reuse functionality or attributes across modules, try extracting them into a utility function and then use that function in your module. If your attributes require making third-party API requests, try memoizing that utility function with spatie/once, so the logic is only ran once for the entire request lifecycle:

return once(function () {
  // run your logic
  return $myValue;
});

Sorry, I promise I won't make any more rapid changes 🤣

Updating

composer update ordinaryjellyfish/sentra:"*"

OrdinaryJellyfish adding to this, something I just realized. If you are using the once helper to memoize functions inside a class, they will only be properly cached within the same class instance. So, to keep the cache properly, you would need to bind your class to the service container as a singleton, and use dependency injection to inject your class wherever it is used. I'm already doing this, but I figured it was important enough to note for anyone building a custom module. Don't want to think you're only making API requests once per lifecycle and then find out you aren't when you get a fat bill from Azure at the end of the month!
