🐛 Problem:
- Dev server hardcoded to http://localhost:5173
- Local by Flywheel uses *.local domains with HTTPS
- Dev mode was blank page (couldn't connect to Vite)
✅ Solution:
Auto-detect dev server URL based on current host:
- Reads $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']
- Detects *.local domains (Local by Flywheel)
- Uses HTTPS for *.local domains
- Falls back to HTTP for localhost
📝 Examples:
- woonoow.local → https://woonoow.local:5173
- localhost → http://localhost:5173
- example.test → http://example.test:5173🎯 Result:
- Dev mode works on Local by Flywheel
- Dev mode works on standard localhost
- No hardcoded URLs
- Still filterable via 'woonoow/admin_dev_server'
💡 Usage:
1. Set WOONOOW_ADMIN_DEV=true in wp-config.php
2. Run: npm run dev
3. Visit wp-admin - Vite HMR works!
🐛 CRITICAL FIX - Root Cause Found!
The plugin had hardcoded dev mode filters that forced EVERYONE into dev mode:
- add_filter('woonoow/admin_is_dev', '__return_true');
- add_filter('woonoow/admin_dev_server', fn() => 'https://woonoow.local:5173');
This caused:
- ✗ SPA trying to load from localhost:5173
- ✗ Loading @react-refresh and main.tsx (dev files)
- ✗ Not loading app.js and app.css (production files)
✅ Solution:
- Removed hardcoded filters from woonoow.php
- Commented them out with instructions
- Added debug logging to is_dev_mode()
- Updated installation checker to detect this issue
📝 For Developers:
If you need dev mode, add to wp-config.php:
define('WOONOOW_ADMIN_DEV', true);
Or use filter in your development plugin:
add_filter('woonoow/admin_is_dev', '__return_true');
🎯 Result:
- Production mode by default (no config needed)
- Dev mode only when explicitly enabled
- Better UX - plugin works out of the box
🐛 Problem:
- WordPress Media library not loaded in standalone mode
- Error: 'wp.media is not available'
- Image upload functionality broken
✅ Solution:
- Added wp_enqueue_media() in render_standalone_admin()
- Added wpApiSettings global for REST API compatibility
- Print media-editor and media-audiovideo scripts
- Print media-views and imgareaselect styles
📝 Changes:
- StandaloneAdmin.php:
- Enqueue media library
- Output media styles in <head>
- Output media scripts before app.js
- Add wpApiSettings global
🎯 Result:
- WordPress media library now available in standalone mode
- Image upload works correctly
- 'Choose from Media Library' button functional
🐛 Problem:
- 500 errors on all API endpoints
- Class "WooNooWAPIPaymentsController" not found
- Namespace inconsistency: API vs Api
✅ Solution:
- Fixed use statements in Routes.php
- Changed WooNooW\API\ to WooNooW\Api\
- Affects: PaymentsController, StoreController, DeveloperController, SystemController
📝 PSR-4 Autoloading:
- Namespace must match directory structure exactly
- Directory: includes/Api/ (lowercase 'i')
- Namespace: WooNooW\Api\ (lowercase 'i')
🎯 Result:
- All API endpoints now work correctly
- No more class not found errors
🐛 Problem:
- SPA not loading in wp-admin
- Trying to load from dev server (localhost:5173)
- Happening in Local by Flywheel (wp_get_environment_type() = 'development')
✅ Solution:
- Changed is_dev_mode() to ONLY enable dev mode if WOONOOW_ADMIN_DEV constant is explicitly set
- Removed wp_get_environment_type() check
- Now defaults to production mode (loads from admin-spa/dist/)
📝 To Enable Dev Mode:
Add to wp-config.php:
define('WOONOOW_ADMIN_DEV', true);
🎯 Result:
- Production mode by default
- Dev mode only when explicitly enabled
- Works correctly in Local by Flywheel and other local environments
✅ Customer Channels Enhancement:
- Added Switch toggles for Email and Push channels
- Added mutation to handle channel enable/disable
- Replaced static 'Enabled' badge with interactive toggles
- When disabled, channel won't appear in customer account preferences
✅ UI Cleanup:
- Hidden addon sections in all channel pages (Staff, Customer, Configuration)
- Will show addon offers later when addon development starts
✅ Documentation:
- Created NOTIFICATION_SYSTEM_QA.md with comprehensive Q&A
- Documented backend integration status
- Proposed global WooNooW vs WooCommerce toggle
- Listed what's wired and what needs backend implementation
📋 Backend Status:
- ✅ Wired: Channel toggle, Event toggle, Template CRUD
- ⚠️ Needed: Email/Push config, Global system toggle, Customer account integration
🎯 Next: Implement global notification system toggle for ultimate flexibility

}
```
**File:**
- `routes/Settings/Notifications/EmailCustomization.tsx`
Next: Wire to backend (task 4)!
## Issue #1: Back Button Navigation Fixed
**Problem:** Back button navigated too far to Notifications.tsx
**Root Cause:** Wrong route - should go to /staff or /customer page with templates tab
**Solution:**
- Detect if staff or customer event
- Navigate to `/settings/notifications/{staff|customer}?tab=templates`
- Staff.tsx and Customer.tsx read tab query param
- Auto-open templates tab on return
**Files:**
- `routes/Settings/Notifications/EditTemplate.tsx`
- `routes/Settings/Notifications/Staff.tsx`
- `routes/Settings/Notifications/Customer.tsx`
## Issue #2: Dialog Pattern - Use Existing, Dont Reinvent!
**Problem:** Created new DialogBody component, over-engineered
**Root Cause:** Didnt check existing dialog usage in project
**Solution:**
- Reverted dialog.tsx to original
- Use existing pattern from Shipping.tsx:
```tsx
<DialogContent className="max-h-[90vh] overflow-y-auto">
```
- Simple, proven, works!
**Files:**
- `components/ui/dialog.tsx` - Reverted to original
- `components/ui/rich-text-editor.tsx` - Use existing pattern
**Lesson Learned:**
Always scan project for existing patterns before creating new ones!
Both issues fixed! ✅
## ✅ 5. Simulate List & Button Variables
**Problem:** Variables showed as raw text like {order_items_list}
**Solution:** Added realistic HTML simulations for better preview

- Individual prices
- Clean, mobile-friendly design
**order_items_table:**
- Professional table layout
- Headers: Product, Qty, Price

- Proper alignment and spacing
**Example Preview:**
```html
Premium T-Shirt × 2
Size: L, Color: Blue
$49.98
Classic Jeans × 1
Size: 32, Color: Dark Blue
$79.99
```
**Better UX:**
- Users see realistic email preview
- Can judge layout and design
- No guessing what variables will look like
- Professional presentation
**File:**
- `routes/Settings/Notifications/EditTemplate.tsx`

## Issue:
Endless loading - React Query says query returns undefined
## Debug Logging Added:
- Log full API response
- Log response.data
- Log response type
- Check if response has template fields directly
- Check if response.data has template fields
- Return appropriate data structure
This will show us exactly what the API returns so we can fix it properly.
Refresh page and check console!
## The ACTUAL Problem (Finally Found It!):
**React Query Error:**
```
"I have data cannot be undefined. Sanitization needs to be used value
other than undefined from your query function."
```
**Root Cause:**
- Component renders BEFORE template data loads
- Form tries to use `template.subject`, `template.body` when `template` is `undefined`
- React Query complains about undefined data
- Form inputs never get filled
## The Real Fix:
```tsx
// BEFORE (WRONG):
return (
<SettingsLayout isLoading={isLoading}>
<Input value={subject} /> // subject is "" even when template loads
<RichTextEditor content={body} /> // body is "" even when template loads
</SettingsLayout>
);
// AFTER (RIGHT):
if (isLoading || !template) {
return <SettingsLayout isLoading={true}>Loading...</SettingsLayout>;
}
// Only render form AFTER template data is loaded
return (
<SettingsLayout>
<Input value={subject} /> // NOW subject has template.subject
<RichTextEditor content={body} /> // NOW body has template.body
</SettingsLayout>
);
```
## Why This Works:
1. **Wait for data** - Don't render form until `template` exists
2. **useEffect runs** - Sets subject/body from template data
3. **Form renders** - With correct default values
4. **RichTextEditor gets content** - Already has the body text
5. **Variables populate** - From template.variables
## What Should Happen Now:
1. ✅ Page loads → Shows "Loading template data..."
2. ✅ API returns → useEffect sets subject/body/variables
3. ✅ Form renders → Inputs filled with default values
4. ✅ RichTextEditor → Shows template body
5. ✅ Variables → Available in dropdown
NO MORE UNDEFINED ERRORS! 🎉
## Issue:
- API returns data ✅
- Console shows template data ✅
- But form inputs remain empty ❌
## Root Cause:
RichTextEditor not re-rendering when template data loads
## Fixes:
### 1. Add Key Prop to Force Re-render ✅
```tsx
<RichTextEditor
key={`editor-${eventId}-${channelId}`} // Force new instance
content={body}
onChange={setBody}
variables={variableKeys}
/>
```
- Key changes when route params change
- Forces React to create new editor instance
- Ensures fresh state with new template data
### 2. Improve RichTextEditor Sync Logic ✅
```tsx
useEffect(() => {
if (editor && content) {
const currentContent = editor.getHTML();
if (content !== currentContent) {
console.log("RichTextEditor: Updating content");
editor.commands.setContent(content);
}
}
}, [content, editor]);
```
- Check if content actually changed
- Add logging for debugging
- Prevent unnecessary updates
## Expected Result:
1. Template data loads from API ✅
2. Subject input fills with default ✅
3. Body editor fills with default ✅
4. Variables populate dropdown ✅
Test by refreshing the page!
