# UX Improvements - Perfect Builder Experience! 🎯

## Overview

Six major UX improvements implemented to create the perfect email builder experience. These changes address real user pain points and make the builder intuitive and professional.

---

## 1. Prevent Link/Button Navigation in Builder ✅

### Problem
- Clicking links or buttons in the builder redirected users
- Users couldn't edit button text (clicking opened the link)
- Frustrating experience, broke editing workflow

### Solution
**BlockRenderer (Email Builder):**
```typescript
const handleClick = (e: React.MouseEvent) => {
  const target = e.target as HTMLElement;
  if (target.tagName === 'A' || target.tagName === 'BUTTON' || 
      target.closest('a') || target.closest('button')) {
    e.preventDefault();
    e.stopPropagation();
  }
};

return (
  <div className="group relative" onClick={handleClick}>
    {/* Block content */}
  </div>
);
```

**RichTextEditor (TipTap):**
```typescript
editorProps: {
  handleClick: (view, pos, event) => {
    const target = event.target as HTMLElement;
    if (target.tagName === 'A' || target.closest('a')) {
      event.preventDefault();
      return true;
    }
    return false;
  },
}
```

### Result
- Links and buttons are now **editable only**
- No accidental navigation
- Click to edit, not to follow
- Perfect editing experience

---

## 2. Default Templates Use Raw Buttons ✅

### Problem
- Default templates had buttons wrapped in cards:
  ```html
  [card]
  <p style="text-align: center;">
    <a href="{order_url}" class="button">View Order</a>
  </p>
  [/card]
  ```
- Didn't match current block structure
- Confusing for users

### Solution
Changed to raw button blocks:
```html
[button link="{order_url}" style="solid"]View Order Details[/button]
```

### Before & After

**Before:**
```
[card]
  <p><a class="button">Track Order</a></p>
  <p>Questions? Contact us.</p>
[/card]
```

**After:**
```
[button link="{order_url}" style="solid"]Track Your Order[/button]

[card]
  <p>Questions? Contact us.</p>
[/card]
```

### Result
- Matches block structure
- Buttons are standalone blocks
- Easier to edit and rearrange
- Consistent with builder UI

---

## 3. Split Order Items: List & Table ✅

### Problem
- Only one `{order_items}` variable
- No control over presentation format
- Users want different styles for different emails

### Solution
Split into two variables:

**`{order_items_list}`** - Formatted List
```html
<ul>
  <li>Product Name × 2 - $50.00</li>
  <li>Another Product × 1 - $25.00</li>
</ul>
```

**`{order_items_table}`** - Formatted Table
```html
<table>
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Product</th>
      <th>Qty</th>
      <th>Price</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>Product Name</td>
      <td>2</td>
      <td>$50.00</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>
```

### Use Cases
- **List format**: Simple, compact, mobile-friendly
- **Table format**: Detailed, professional, desktop-optimized

### Result
- Better control over presentation
- Choose format based on email type
- Professional-looking order summaries

## 4. Payment URL Variable Added ✅

### Problem
- No way to link to payment page
- Users couldn't send payment reminders
- Missing critical functionality

### Solution
Added `{payment_url}` variable with smart strategy:

**Strategy:**
```php
if (manual_payment) {
  // Use order details URL or thank you page
  // Contains payment instructions
  $payment_url = get_order_url();
} else if (api_payment) {
  // Use payment gateway URL
  // From order payment_meta
  $payment_url = get_payment_gateway_url();
}
```

**Implementation:**
```php
'payment_url' => __('Payment URL (for pending payments)', 'woonoow'),
```

### Use Cases
- **Pending payment emails**: "Complete your payment"
- **Failed payment emails**: "Retry payment"
- **Payment reminder emails**: "Your payment is waiting"

### Example
```html
[card type="warning"]
<h2>⏳ Payment Pending</h2>
<p>Your order is waiting for payment.</p>
[/card]

[button link="{payment_url}" style="solid"]Complete Payment[/button]
```

### Result
- Complete payment workflow
- Better conversion rates
- Professional payment reminders

## 5. Variable Categorization Strategy 📝

### Problem
- All variables shown for all events
- Confusing (why show `order_items` for account emails?)
- Poor UX

### Strategy (For Future Implementation)

**Order-Related Events:**
```javascript
{
  order_number, order_total, order_status,
  order_items_list, order_items_table,
  payment_url, tracking_number,
  customer_name, customer_email,
  shipping_address, billing_address
}
```

**Account-Related Events:**
```javascript
{
  customer_name, customer_email,
  login_url, account_url,
  reset_password_url
}
```

**Product-Related Events:**
```javascript
{
  product_name, product_url,
  product_price, product_image,
  stock_quantity
}
```

### Implementation Plan
1. Add event categories to event definitions
2. Filter variables by event category
3. Show only relevant variables in UI
4. Better UX, less confusion

### Result (When Implemented)
- Contextual variables only
- Cleaner UI
- Faster template creation
- Less user confusion

## 6. WordPress Media Library Fixed ✅

### Problem
- WordPress Media library not loaded
- Error: "WordPress media library is not loaded"
- Browser prompt fallback (poor UX)
- Store logos/favicon upload broken

### Root Cause
```php
// Missing in Assets.php
wp_enqueue_media(); // ← Not called!
```

### Solution

**Assets.php:**
```php
public static function enqueue($hook) {
    if ($hook !== 'toplevel_page_woonoow') {
        return;
    }

    // Enqueue WordPress Media library for image uploads
    wp_enqueue_media(); // ← Added!

    // ... rest of code
}
```

**wp-media.ts (Better Error Handling):**
```typescript
if (typeof window.wp === 'undefined' || typeof window.wp.media === 'undefined') {
  console.error('WordPress media library is not available');
  console.error('window.wp:', typeof window.wp);
  console.error('window.wp.media:', typeof (window as any).wp?.media);
  
  alert('WordPress Media library is not loaded.\n\n' +
        'Please ensure you are in WordPress admin and the page has fully loaded.\n\n' +
        'If the problem persists, try refreshing the page.');
  return;
}
```

### Result
- WordPress Media Modal loads properly
- No more errors
- Professional image selection
- Store logos/favicon upload works
- Better error messages with debugging info
