# Settings Submenu Fix - Complete Summary
|
||||
|
||||
## 🐛 Problem Identified
|
||||
|
||||
**Issue:** Settings submenu only appeared in standalone mode, not in wp-admin or fullscreen mode.
|
||||
|
||||
**Root Cause:** The navigation tree has **TWO sources**:
|
||||
1. **Backend (PHP):** `NavigationRegistry::get_base_tree()` - Used in wp-admin and all modes
|
||||
2. **Frontend (TypeScript):** `tree.ts` fallback - Only used if backend fails
|
||||
|
||||
The backend was providing **empty children** for settings:
|
||||
```php
|
||||
// NavigationRegistry.php line 159
|
||||
'children' => [], // Settings children will be added by SettingsProvider
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
But `SettingsProvider` never actually populated the navigation tree!
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## ✅ Solution Implemented
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Fixed Backend Navigation Registry
|
||||
|
||||
**File:** `includes/Compat/NavigationRegistry.php`
|
||||
|
||||
**Changes:**
|
||||
- Added `get_settings_children()` method
|
||||
- Populated settings submenu in `get_base_tree()`
|
||||
- Made backend the single source of truth
|
||||
|
||||
**Code:**
|
||||
```php
|
||||
[
|
||||
'key' => 'settings',
|
||||
'label' => __('Settings', 'woonoow'),
|
||||
'path' => '/settings',
|
||||
'icon' => 'settings',
|
||||
'children' => self::get_settings_children(), // ✅ Now populated!
|
||||
],
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Settings Children:**
|
||||
```php
|
||||
private static function get_settings_children(): array {
|
||||
$admin = admin_url('admin.php');
|
||||
|
||||
return [
|
||||
// WooNooW Settings
|
||||
['label' => __('WooNooW', 'woonoow'), 'mode' => 'spa', 'path' => '/settings'],
|
||||
|
||||
// WooCommerce Settings (Most Used First)
|
||||
['label' => __('General', 'woonoow'), 'mode' => 'spa', 'path' => '/settings/general'],
|
||||
['label' => __('Payments', 'woonoow'), 'mode' => 'spa', 'path' => '/settings/payments'],
|
||||
['label' => __('Shipping', 'woonoow'), 'mode' => 'spa', 'path' => '/settings/shipping'],
|
||||
['label' => __('Products', 'woonoow'), 'mode' => 'spa', 'path' => '/settings/products'],
|
||||
['label' => __('Tax', 'woonoow'), 'mode' => 'spa', 'path' => '/settings/tax'],
|
||||
['label' => __('Accounts & Privacy', 'woonoow'), 'mode' => 'spa', 'path' => '/settings/accounts'],
|
||||
['label' => __('Emails', 'woonoow'), 'mode' => 'spa', 'path' => '/settings/emails'],
|
||||
|
||||
// Less Common (Bridge to WP Admin for now)
|
||||
['label' => __('Advanced', 'woonoow'), 'mode' => 'bridge', 'href' => $admin . '?page=wc-settings&tab=advanced'],
|
||||
['label' => __('Integration', 'woonoow'), 'mode' => 'bridge', 'href' => $admin . '?page=wc-settings&tab=integration'],
|
||||
['label' => __('Status', 'woonoow'), 'mode' => 'bridge', 'href' => $admin . '?page=wc-status'],
|
||||
['label' => __('Extensions', 'woonoow'), 'mode' => 'bridge', 'href' => $admin . '?page=wc-addons'],
|
||||
];
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Frontend Already Correct
|
||||
|
||||
**File:** `admin-spa/src/nav/tree.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
The frontend fallback tree was already correct (we fixed it earlier), but it wasn't being used because the backend tree takes precedence.
|
||||
|
||||
**Data Flow:**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
function getNavTreeFromBackend(): MainNode[] {
|
||||
const backendTree = (window as any).WNW_NAV_TREE;
|
||||
|
||||
if (Array.isArray(backendTree) && backendTree.length > 0) {
|
||||
return backendTree; // ✅ Backend tree used (from PHP)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Fallback to static tree (for development/safety)
|
||||
return getStaticFallbackTree();
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎯 Single Source of Truth Established
|
||||
|
||||
### Backend (PHP) - PRIMARY SOURCE ✅
|
||||
**File:** `includes/Compat/NavigationRegistry.php`
|
||||
- Builds navigation tree on `init` hook
|
||||
- Stores in `wnw_nav_tree` option
|
||||
- Localizes to `window.WNW_NAV_TREE`
|
||||
- Used by all modes (wp-admin, fullscreen, standalone)
|
||||
|
||||
### Frontend (TypeScript) - FALLBACK ONLY
|
||||
**File:** `admin-spa/src/nav/tree.ts`
|
||||
- Reads from `window.WNW_NAV_TREE` (backend)
|
||||
- Falls back to static tree if backend unavailable
|
||||
- Static tree matches backend structure
|
||||
|
||||

## 🧪 How to Test
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Clear Navigation Cache
|
||||
The navigation tree is cached in WordPress options. To rebuild:
|
||||
- Deactivate and reactivate WooNooW plugin, OR
|
||||
- Visit any admin page (tree rebuilds on `init` hook)
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Test in wp-admin Mode
|
||||
1. Go to `/wp-admin/admin.php?page=woonoow`
|
||||
2. Click "Settings" in sidebar
|
||||
3. **Should see submenu:** WooNooW, General, Payments, Shipping, Products, Tax, Accounts & Privacy, Emails, Advanced, Integration, Status, Extensions
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Test in Fullscreen Mode
|
||||
1. Click fullscreen toggle
|
||||
2. Click "Settings" in sidebar
|
||||
3. **Should see same submenu**
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Test in Standalone Mode
|
||||
1. Go to `/admin`
|
||||
2. Click "Settings" in sidebar
|
||||
3. **Should see same submenu**
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Verify Backend Data
|
||||
Open browser console and check:
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
console.log(window.WNW_NAV_TREE);
|
||||
// Should show array with settings.children populated
|
||||
```
|
||||

## 🔧 Files Modified
|
||||
|
||||
### Backend
|
||||
- ✅ `includes/Compat/NavigationRegistry.php`
|
||||
- Added `get_settings_children()` method
|
||||
- Updated `get_base_tree()` to use it
|
||||
|
||||
### Frontend
|
||||
- ✅ `admin-spa/src/nav/tree.ts` (already correct from previous fix)
|
||||
- ✅ `admin-spa/src/types/window.d.ts` (TypeScript types)
|
||||
|
||||
### Documentation
|
||||
- ✅ `SETTINGS_TREE_PLAN.md` (new - comprehensive implementation plan)
|
||||
- ✅ `MENU_FIX_SUMMARY.md` (this document)

|

|
||||
## 🎯 Key Learnings
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Dynamic Navigation System
|
||||
WooNooW uses a **dynamic navigation system** where:
|
||||
- Backend (PHP) builds the tree
|
||||
- Frontend (TypeScript) consumes it
|
||||
- Addons can extend via filters
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Cache Awareness
|
||||
Navigation tree is cached in `wnw_nav_tree` option:
|
||||
- Rebuilt on `init` hook
|
||||
- Flushed on plugin activate/deactivate
|
||||
- Can be manually flushed: `delete_option('wnw_nav_tree')`
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Extensibility
|
||||
Addons can modify navigation via filters:
|
||||
```php
|
||||
// Add new main section
|
||||
add_filter('woonoow/nav_tree', function($tree) {
|
||||
$tree[] = [
|
||||
'key' => 'subscriptions',
|
||||
'label' => 'Subscriptions',
|
||||
'path' => '/subscriptions',
|
||||
'icon' => 'repeat',
|
||||
'children' => [...]
|
||||
];
|
||||
return $tree;
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// Add to existing section
|
||||
add_filter('woonoow/nav_tree/settings/children', function($children) {
|
||||
$children[] = [
|
||||
'label' => 'My Custom Setting',
|
||||
'mode' => 'spa',
|
||||
'path' => '/settings/custom'
|
||||
];
|
||||
return $children;
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
