Helpers

FluentCommunity exposes a large static helper surface through FluentCommunity\App\Services\Helper. These methods are used throughout the plugin for portal URLs, membership operations, media lookup, menu building, encryption, and formatting.

This section restores the old helpers/ area from the previous docs site, but aligned to the current source tree and method signatures.

Class Location

use FluentCommunity\App\Services\Helper;

Do not confuse this with FluentCommunity\App\Functions\Utility. Utility is a separate option and settings helper. The older helper docs mixed those classes together.
