1. API Route Fix (NotificationsController.php):
- Changed PUT to POST for /templates/:eventId/:channelId
- Frontend was using api.post() but backend only accepted PUT
- Templates can now be saved
2. Contextual Variables (EventRegistry.php):
- Added get_variables_for_event() method
- Returns category-based variables (order, customer, product, etc.)
- Merges event-specific variables from event definition
- Sorted alphabetically for easy browsing
3. API Response (NotificationsController.php):
- Template API now returns available_variables for the event
- Frontend can show only relevant variables
4. Frontend (EditTemplate.tsx):
- Removed hardcoded 50+ variable list
- Now uses template.available_variables from API
- Variables update based on selected event type
- Created LayoutWrapper component to conditionally render header/footer based on route
- Created MinimalHeader component (logo only)
- Created MinimalFooter component (trust badges + policy links)
- Created usePageVisibility hook to get visibility settings per page
- Wrapped ClassicLayout with LayoutWrapper for conditional rendering
- Header/footer visibility now controlled directly in React SPA
- Settings: show/minimal/hide for both header and footer
- Background color support for checkout and thankyou pages
Fixed missing variable dropdown in email template editor.
Problem:
- RichTextEditor component had dropdown functionality
- But variables prop was empty array
- Users had to manually type {variable_name}
Solution:
- Added comprehensive list of 40+ available variables
- Includes order, customer, payment, shipping, URL, store variables
- Variables now show in dropdown for easy insertion
Available Variables:
- Order: order_number, order_total, order_items_table, etc.
- Customer: customer_name, customer_email, customer_phone
- Payment: payment_method, transaction_id, payment_retry_url
- Shipping: tracking_number, tracking_url, shipping_carrier
- URLs: order_url, review_url, shop_url, my_account_url
- Store: site_name, support_email, current_year
Now users can click dropdown and select variables instead of typing them manually.
