Root Causes Found & Fixed
### **Issue #1: Missing Customer Templates**
**Root Cause:**
```php
// DefaultEmailTemplates.php - WRONG mapping!
'customer_registered' => 'customer_registered', // โ Wrong key!
'customer_vip_upgraded' => 'customer_vip_upgraded', // โ Wrong key!
// But DefaultTemplates.php uses:
'registered' => self::customer_registered(), // โ
Correct key
'vip_upgraded' => self::customer_vip_upgraded(), // โ
Correct key
```
**The Problem:**
- `DefaultTemplates.php` uses keys: `'registered'` and `'vip_upgraded'`
- `DefaultEmailTemplates.php` was mapping to: `'customer_registered'` and `'customer_vip_upgraded'`
- **Mismatch!** Templates not found, so only 7 showed instead of 9
**Fix Applied:**
```php
// File: includes/Core/Notifications/DefaultEmailTemplates.php
// Lines 37-40
'new_customer' => 'registered', // โ
Fixed!
'customer_registered' => 'registered', // โ
Fixed!
'customer_vip_upgraded' => 'vip_upgraded', // โ
Fixed!
```

### **Issue #2: Card Types Missing**
**Root Cause:**
```typescript
// markdownToBlocks() regex wasn't trimming attributes
const attributes = cardMatch[1]; // " type=\"hero\"" with leading space
const typeMatch = attributes.match(/type=["']([^"']+)["']/); // โ Fails!
```
**Fix Applied:**
```typescript
// File: admin-spa/src/components/EmailBuilder/converter.ts
// Lines 230-235
const attributes = cardMatch[1].trim(); // โ
Trim first!
const typeMatch = attributes.match(/type\s*=\s*["']([^"']+)["']/); // โ
Handle spaces!
const cardType = (typeMatch?.[1] || 'default') as CardType;
```
---
### **Issue #3: Preview Showing Raw Markdown**
**Root Cause:**
```typescript
// Preview was showing markdown like "# heading" instead of "
heading
"
// parseCardsForPreview() wasn't converting markdown to HTML
return `${cardContent}
`; // โ Raw markdown!
```
**Fix Applied:**
```typescript
// File: admin-spa/src/routes/Settings/Notifications/EditTemplate.tsx
// Lines 224-227
// Convert markdown inside card to HTML
const htmlContent = markdownToHtml(cardContent.trim()); // โ
Convert!
return `${htmlContent}
`;
```
---
### **Issue #4: Button Text & Labels**
**Root Cause:**
- Button text was too short ("Markdown" vs "Switch to Markdown")
- Tab label didn't change when in markdown mode
**Fix Applied:**
```typescript
// File: admin-spa/src/routes/Settings/Notifications/EditTemplate.tsx
// Lines 534, 542
// โ
Dynamic label!
```

## ๐ฏ What Was The Real Problem?
### **The Core Issue:**
We had **THREE DIFFERENT SYSTEMS** trying to work together:
1. `DefaultTemplates.php` - New markdown templates (uses `'registered'` key)
2. `DefaultEmailTemplates.php` - Legacy wrapper (was using `'customer_registered'` key)
3. `TemplateProvider.php` - Template fetcher (relies on exact key match)
**Key mismatch = Templates not found!**
### **The Solution:**
- **Aligned all keys** across the system
- **Fixed parsing** to handle attributes correctly
- **Added markdown conversion** in preview
- **Improved UI** for clarity
---
## ๐ก Why This Happened
### **Historical Context:**
1. Originally: HTML-based templates
2. Refactored: Markdown-based templates in `DefaultTemplates.php`
3. Wrapper: `DefaultEmailTemplates.php` created for compatibility
4. **Problem:** Wrapper used wrong keys!
### **The Cascade Effect:**
```
Wrong key in wrapper
โ
Template not found
โ
Fallback to default
โ
Only 7 templates show (missing 2)
```
---
## ๐ Next Steps
1. **Stop dev server** (Ctrl+C)
2. **Restart:** `npm run dev`
3. **Hard refresh browser:** Cmd+Shift+R
4. **Test all 4 issues:**
- โ
Customer shows 9 templates
- โ
Card types preserved
- โ
Preview renders HTML
- โ
Markdown mode works
