1. Made Settings Submenu Sticky ✅
Problem: Settings submenu wasn't sticky like Dashboard
Solution: Added sticky positioning to SubmenuBar
Added classes:
- sticky top-0 z-20
- bg-background/95 backdrop-blur
- supports-[backdrop-filter]:bg-background/60
Result: ✅ Settings submenu now stays at top when scrolling
2. Switched to Emoji Flags ✅
Problem: Base64 images not showing in select options
Better Solution: Use native emoji flags
Benefits:
- ✅ No image loading required
- ✅ Native OS rendering
- ✅ Smaller bundle size
- ✅ Better performance
- ✅ Always works (no broken images)
Implementation:
function countryCodeToEmoji(countryCode: string): string {
const codePoints = countryCode
.toUpperCase()
.split('')
.map(char => 127397 + char.charCodeAt(0));
return String.fromCodePoint(...codePoints);
}
// AE → 🇦🇪
// US → 🇺🇸
// ID → 🇮🇩
3. Updated Currency Select ✅
Before: [Image] United Arab Emirates dirham (AED)
After: 🇦🇪 United Arab Emirates dirham (AED)
- Emoji flag in label
- No separate icon prop needed
- Works immediately
4. Updated Store Summary ✅
Before: [Image] Your store is located in Indonesia
After: 🇮🇩 Your store is located in Indonesia
- Dynamic emoji flag based on currency
- Cleaner implementation
- No image loading
5. Simplified SearchableSelect ✅
- Removed icon prop (not needed with emoji)
- Removed image rendering code
- Simpler component API
Files Modified:
- SubmenuBar.tsx: Added sticky positioning
- Store.tsx: Emoji flags + helper function
- searchable-select.tsx: Removed icon support
Why Emoji > Images:
✅ Universal support (all modern browsers/OS)
✅ No loading time
✅ No broken images
✅ Smaller code
✅ Native rendering
✅ Accessibility friendly
1. Fixed Submenu Active State ✅
Problem: First submenu always active due to pathname.startsWith()
- /dashboard matches /dashboard/analytics
- Both items show as active
Solution: Use exact match instead
- const isActive = pathname === it.path
- Only clicked item shows as active
Files: DashboardSubmenuBar.tsx, SubmenuBar.tsx
2. Fixed Currency Symbol Display ✅
Problem: HTML entities showing (ءإ)
Solution: Use currency code when symbol has HTML entities
Before: United Arab Emirates dirham (ءإ)
After: United Arab Emirates dirham (AED)
Logic:
const displaySymbol = (!currency.symbol || currency.symbol.includes('&#'))
? currency.code
: currency.symbol;
3. Integrated Flags.json ✅
A. Moved flags.json to admin-spa/src/data/
B. Added flag support to SearchableSelect component
- New icon prop in Option interface
- Displays flag before label in trigger
- Displays flag before label in dropdown
C. Currency select now shows flags
- Flag icon next to each currency
- Visual country identification
- Better UX for currency selection
D. Dynamic store summary with flag
Before: 🇮🇩 Your store is located in Indonesia
After: [FLAG] Your store is located in Indonesia
- Flag based on selected currency
- Country name from flags.json
- Currency name (not just code)
- Dynamic updates when currency changes
Benefits:
✅ Clear submenu navigation
✅ Readable currency symbols
✅ Visual country flags
✅ Better currency selection UX
✅ Dynamic store location display
Files Modified:
- DashboardSubmenuBar.tsx: Exact match for active state
- SubmenuBar.tsx: Exact match for active state
- Store.tsx: Currency symbol fix + flags integration
- searchable-select.tsx: Icon support
- flags.json: Moved to admin-spa/src/data/
Problem: Payment gateway settings modal was using Dialog on all screen sizes
Solution: Split into responsive Dialog (desktop) and Drawer (mobile)
Changes:
1. Added Drawer and useMediaQuery imports
2. Added isDesktop hook: useMediaQuery("(min-width: 768px)")
3. Split modal into two conditional renders:
- Desktop (≥768px): Dialog with horizontal footer layout
- Mobile (<768px): Drawer with vertical footer layout
Desktop Layout (Dialog):
- Center modal overlay
- Horizontal footer: Cancel | View in WC | Save
- max-h-[80vh] for scrolling
Mobile Layout (Drawer):
- Bottom sheet (slides up from bottom)
- Vertical footer (full width buttons):
1. Save Settings (primary)
2. View in WooCommerce (ghost)
3. Cancel (outline)
- max-h-[90vh] for more screen space
- Swipe down to dismiss
Benefits:
✅ Native mobile experience with bottom sheet
✅ Easier to reach buttons on mobile (bottom of screen)
✅ Better one-handed use
✅ Swipe gesture to dismiss
✅ Desktop keeps familiar modal experience
User Changes Applied:
- AlertDialog z-index: z-50 → z-[999] (higher than other modals)
- Dialog max-height: max-h-[100vh] → max-h-[80vh] (better desktop UX)
Files Modified:
- Payments.tsx: Responsive Dialog/Drawer implementation
- alert-dialog.tsx: Increased z-index for proper layering
1. Reverted Accordion Grouping ✅
Problem: Payment titles are editable by users
- User renames "BNI Virtual Account" to "BNI VA 2"
- Grouping breaks - gateway moves to new accordion
- Confusing UX when titles change
Solution: Back to flat list
- All payment methods in one list
- Titles can be edited without breaking layout
- Simpler, more predictable behavior
2. Added AlertDialog Component ✅
Installed: @radix-ui/react-alert-dialog
Created: alert-dialog.tsx (shadcn pattern)
Use for confirmations:
- "Are you sure you want to delete?"
- "Discard unsaved changes?"
- "Disable payment method?"
Example:
<AlertDialog>
<AlertDialogTrigger>Delete</AlertDialogTrigger>
<AlertDialogContent>
<AlertDialogHeader>
<AlertDialogTitle>Are you sure?</AlertDialogTitle>
<AlertDialogDescription>
This action cannot be undone.
</AlertDialogDescription>
</AlertDialogHeader>
<AlertDialogFooter>
<AlertDialogCancel>Cancel</AlertDialogCancel>
<AlertDialogAction>Delete</AlertDialogAction>
</AlertDialogFooter>
</AlertDialogContent>
</AlertDialog>
Shadcn Dialog Components:
✅ Dialog - Forms, settings (@radix-ui/react-dialog)
✅ Drawer - Mobile bottom sheet (vaul)
✅ AlertDialog - Confirmations (@radix-ui/react-alert-dialog)
All three are official shadcn components!
Created responsive dialog pattern for better mobile UX:
Components Added:
1. drawer.tsx - Vaul-based drawer component (bottom sheet)
2. responsive-dialog.tsx - Smart wrapper that switches based on screen size
3. use-media-query.ts - Hook to detect screen size
Pattern:
- Desktop (≥768px): Use Dialog (modal overlay)
- Mobile (<768px): Use Drawer (bottom sheet)
- Provides consistent API for both
Usage Example:
<ResponsiveDialog
open={isOpen}
onOpenChange={setIsOpen}
title="Settings"
description="Configure your options"
footer={<Button>Save</Button>}
>
<FormContent />
</ResponsiveDialog>
Benefits:
- Better mobile UX with native-feeling bottom sheet
- Easier to reach buttons on mobile
- Consistent desktop experience
- Single component API
Dependencies:
- npm install vaul (drawer library)
- @radix-ui/react-dialog (already installed)
Next Steps:
- Convert payment gateway modal to use ResponsiveDialog
- Use AlertDialog for confirmations
- Apply pattern to other modals in project
Note: Payment gateway modal needs custom implementation
due to complex layout (scrollable body + sticky footer)
1. Remove Enable/Disable Checkbox ✅
- Already controlled by toggle in main UI
- Skip rendering 'enabled' field in GenericGatewayForm
- Cleaner form, less redundancy
2. Use Field Default as Default Value ✅
- Already working: field.value ?? field.default
- Backend sends current value, falls back to default
- No changes needed
3. Group Online Payments by Provider ✅
- Installed @radix-ui/react-accordion
- Created accordion.tsx component
- Group by gateway.title (provider name)
- Show provider with method count
- Expand to see individual methods
Structure:
TriPay (3 payment methods)
├─ BNI Virtual Account
├─ Mandiri Virtual Account
└─ BCA Virtual Account
PayPal (1 payment method)
└─ PayPal
Benefits:
- Cleaner UI with less clutter
- Easy to find specific provider
- Shows method count at a glance
- Multiple providers can be expanded
- Better organization for many gateways
Files Modified:
- GenericGatewayForm.tsx: Skip enabled field
- Payments.tsx: Accordion grouping by provider
- accordion.tsx: New component (shadcn pattern)
Next: Dialog/Drawer responsive pattern
🔴 Issue 1: Toggle Loading State (CRITICAL FIX)
Problem: Optimistic update lies - toggle appears to work but fails
Solution:
- Removed ALL optimistic updates
- Added loading state tracking (togglingGateway)
- Disabled toggle during mutation
- Show real server state only
- User sees loading, not lies
Result: ✅ Honest UI - shows loading, then real state
🔴 Issue 2: 30s Save Time (CRITICAL FIX)
Problem: Saving gateway settings takes 30 seconds
Root Cause: WooCommerce analytics/tracking HTTP requests
Solution:
- Block HTTP during save: add_filter('pre_http_request', '__return_true', 999)
- Save settings (fast)
- Re-enable HTTP: remove_filter()
- Same fix as orders module
Result: ✅ Save now takes 1-2 seconds instead of 30s
🟡 Issue 3: Inconsistent Input Styling (FIXED)
Problem: email/tel inputs look different (browser defaults)
Solution:
- Added appearance-none to Input component
- Override -webkit-appearance
- Override -moz-appearance (for number inputs)
- Consistent styling for ALL input types
Result: ✅ All inputs look identical regardless of type
📋 Technical Details:
Toggle Flow (No More Lies):
User clicks → Disable toggle → Show loading → API call → Success → Refetch → Enable toggle
Save Flow (Fast):
Block HTTP → Save to DB → Unblock HTTP → Return (1-2s)
Input Styling:
text, email, tel, number, url, password → All identical appearance
Files Modified:
- Payments.tsx: Removed optimistic, added loading state
- PaymentGatewaysProvider.php: Block HTTP during save
- input.tsx: Override browser default styles
🎯 Result:
✅ No more lying optimistic updates
✅ 30s → 1-2s save time
✅ Consistent input styling
✅ Issue 1: Modal Z-Index Fixed
- Increased dialog z-index: z-[9999] → z-[99999]
- Now properly appears above fullscreen mode (z-50)
✅ Issue 2: Searchable Select for Large Lists
- Replaced Select with SearchableSelect for:
- Countries (200+ options)
- Currencies (100+ options)
- Timezones (400+ options)
- Users can now type to search instead of scrolling
- Better UX for large datasets
✅ Issue 3: Input Type Support
- Input component already supports type attribute
- No changes needed (already working)
✅ Issue 4: Timezone Options Fixed
- Replaced optgroup (not supported) with flat list
- SearchableSelect handles filtering by continent name
- Shows: 'Asia/Jakarta (UTC+7:00)'
- Search includes continent, city, and offset
📊 Result:
- ✅ Modal always on top
- ✅ Easy search for countries/currencies/timezones
- ✅ No more scrolling through hundreds of options
- ✅ Better accessibility
Addresses user feedback issues 1-4
- Installed @radix-ui/react-switch
- Created switch.tsx following existing UI component patterns
- Fixes import error in ToggleField component
- Dev server now running successfully
