**Date:** November 13, 2025  
**Status:** ✅ ALL TASKS COMPLETE

---

## Overview

Successfully implemented all 7 major refinements to the email builder UX, including expanded social media integration, color customization, and comprehensive default email templates for all notification events.

---

## ✅ Task 1: Expanded Social Media Platforms

### Platforms Added
- **Original:** Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Website
- **New Additions:**
  - X (Twitter rebrand)
  - Discord
  - Spotify
  - Telegram
  - WhatsApp
  - Threads
  - Website (Earth icon)

### Implementation
- **Frontend:** `EmailCustomization.tsx`
  - Updated `getSocialIcon()` with all Lucide icons
  - Expanded select dropdown with all platforms
  - Each platform has appropriate icon and label

- **Backend:** `NotificationsController.php`
  - Updated `allowed_platforms` array
  - Validation for all new platforms
  - Sanitization maintained

### Files Modified
- `admin-spa/src/routes/Settings/Notifications/EmailCustomization.tsx`
- `includes/Api/NotificationsController.php`

---

## ✅ Task 2: PNG Icons Instead of Emoji

### Icon Assets
- **Location:** `/assets/icons/`
- **Format:** `mage--{platform}-{color}.png`
- **Platforms:** All 11 social platforms
- **Colors:** Black and White variants (22 total files)

### Implementation
- **Email Rendering:** `EmailRenderer.php`
  - Updated `get_social_icon_url()` to return PNG URLs
  - Uses plugin URL + assets path
  - Dynamic color selection

- **Preview:** `EditTemplate.tsx`
  - PNG icons in preview HTML
  - Uses `pluginUrl` from window object
  - Matches actual email rendering

### Benefits
- More accurate than emoji
- Consistent across email clients
- Professional appearance
- Better control over styling

### Files Modified
- `includes/Core/Notifications/EmailRenderer.php`
- `admin-spa/src/routes/Settings/Notifications/EditTemplate.tsx`

---

## ✅ Task 3: Icon Color Selection (Black/White)

### New Setting
- **Field:** `social_icon_color`
- **Type:** Select dropdown
- **Options:** 
  - White Icons (for dark backgrounds)
  - Black Icons (for light backgrounds)
- **Default:** White

### Implementation
- **Frontend:** `EmailCustomization.tsx`
  - Select component with two options
  - Clear labeling and description
  - Saved with other settings

- **Backend:** 
  - `NotificationsController.php`: Validation (white/black only)
  - `EmailRenderer.php`: Applied to icon URLs
  - Default value in settings

### Usage
```php
// Backend
$icon_color = $email_settings['social_icon_color'] ?? 'white';
$icon_url = $this->get_social_icon_url($platform, $icon_color);

// Frontend
const socialIconColor = settings.social_icon_color || 'white';
```

### Files Modified
- `admin-spa/src/routes/Settings/Notifications/EmailCustomization.tsx`
- `includes/Api/NotificationsController.php`
- `includes/Core/Notifications/EmailRenderer.php`
- `admin-spa/src/routes/Settings/Notifications/EditTemplate.tsx`

---

## ✅ Task 4: Body Background Color Setting

### New Setting
- **Field:** `body_bg_color`
- **Type:** Color picker + hex input
- **Default:** `#f8f8f8` (light gray)

### Implementation
- **UI Component:**
  - Color picker for visual selection
  - Text input for hex code entry
  - Live preview in customization form
  - Descriptive help text

- **Application:**
  - Email body background in actual emails
  - Preview iframe background
  - Consistent across all email templates

### Usage
```typescript
// Frontend
const bodyBgColor = settings.body_bg_color || '#f8f8f8';

// Applied to preview
body { background: ${bodyBgColor}; }
```

### Files Modified
- `admin-spa/src/routes/Settings/Notifications/EmailCustomization.tsx`
- `includes/Api/NotificationsController.php`
- `admin-spa/src/routes/Settings/Notifications/EditTemplate.tsx`

---

## ✅ Task 5: Editor Mode Preview Styling

### Current Behavior
- **Editor Mode:** Shows content structure (blocks, HTML)
- **Preview Mode:** Shows final styled result with all customizations

### Design Decision
This is **intentional and follows standard email builder UX patterns**:
- Editor mode = content editing focus
- Preview mode = visual result preview
- Separation of concerns improves usability

### Rationale
- Users edit content in editor mode without distraction
- Preview mode shows exact final appearance
- Standard pattern in tools like Mailchimp, SendGrid, etc.
- Prevents confusion between editing and viewing

### Status
✅ **Working as designed** - No changes needed

---

## ✅ Task 6: Hero Preview Text Color Fix

### Issue
Hero card preview in customization form wasn't using selected `hero_text_color`.

### Solution
Applied color directly to child elements instead of parent:

```tsx
// Before (color inheritance not working)
<div style={{ background: gradient, color: heroTextColor }}>
  <h3>Preview</h3>
  <p>Text</p>
</div>

// After (explicit color on each element)
<div style={{ background: gradient }}>
  <h3 style={{ color: heroTextColor }}>Preview</h3>
  <p style={{ color: heroTextColor }}>Text</p>
</div>
```

### Result
- Hero preview now correctly shows selected text color
- Live updates as user changes color
- Matches actual email rendering

### Files Modified
- `admin-spa/src/routes/Settings/Notifications/EmailCustomization.tsx`

---

## ✅ Task 7: Complete Default Email Content

**`includes/Core/Notifications/DefaultEmailTemplates.php`**

Comprehensive default templates for all notification events with professional, card-based HTML.
