# Improvements Completed

## ✅ 1. Single Source of Truth with Filter Hooks

### EventRegistry.php
Created centralized event registry with filter hook:
```php
$events = EventRegistry::get_all_events();
// Filter: woonoow_notification_events_registry
```

### DefaultTemplates.php
Added filter hooks for templates and subjects:
```php
// Filter: woonoow_email_default_templates
$templates = apply_filters('woonoow_email_default_templates', $templates);

// Filter: woonoow_email_default_subject  
$subject = apply_filters('woonoow_email_default_subject', $subject, $recipient, $event);
```

### Usage Example
```php
// Add custom event
add_filter('woonoow_notification_events_registry', function($events) {
    $events['custom_event'] = [
        'id' => 'custom_event',
        'label' => 'Custom Event',
        'category' => 'custom',
        'recipient_type' => 'customer',
        'enabled' => true,
    ];
    return $events;
});

// Add template for custom event
add_filter('woonoow_email_default_templates', function($templates) {
    $templates['customer']['custom_event'] = '[card]Custom content[/card]';
    return $templates;
});
```

**Result:** 
- ✅ One place to manage events
- ✅ No hardcoding
- ✅ Fully extensible
- ✅ Events and templates always aligned

## ✅ 2. Card Type Selector in Markdown Toolbar

### Added Features
- **Card Insert Button** with dialog
- **Card Type Selector** dropdown with 6 types:
  - Default - Standard white card
  - Hero - Large header with gradient
  - Success - Green success message
  - Warning - Yellow warning message
  - Info - Blue information card
  - Basic - Minimal styling

### Implementation
- `markdown-toolbar.tsx` - Added dialog with card type selection
- Inserts properly formatted `[card type="..."]...[/card]` template
- Includes placeholder content with heading

**Result:**
- ✅ Easy card insertion
- ✅ Visual card type selection
- ✅ Better UX for markdown editing

## ✅ 3. Markdown ↔ HTML Conversion for Visual Editor

### Problem
Visual editor (RichTextEditor) was receiving markdown content directly, showing `**bold**` and `## headings` as plain text.

### Solution

#### A. Markdown → HTML (When Opening Editor)
```typescript
// EmailBuilder.tsx
const htmlContent = parseMarkdownBasics(block.content);
setEditingContent(htmlContent);
```

#### B. HTML → Markdown (When Saving)
```typescript
// EmailBuilder.tsx
const markdownContent = htmlToMarkdown(editingContent);
return { ...block, content: markdownContent, cardType: editingCardType };
```

#### C. New Utility: `html-to-markdown.ts`
Converts rich text editor HTML output back to clean markdown:
- `<h2>` → `## `
- `<strong>` → `**...**`
- `<em>` → `*...*`
- `<p>` → double newlines
- Lists, links, etc.

**Result:**
- ✅ Visual editor shows properly formatted content
- ✅ Bold, headings, lists render correctly
- ✅ Seamless conversion between markdown and HTML
- ✅ No markdown syntax visible in visual mode

## ⚠️ 4. Newline Rendering in Preview

### Current State
The preview already uses `markdownToHtml()` which includes `parseMarkdownBasics()`:
- Single newlines → `<br>` tags
- Double newlines → separate `<p>` tags
- Lists, headings, etc. properly converted

### Implementation
```typescript
// EditTemplate.tsx - Line 202
const htmlContent = markdownToHtml(cardContent.trim());
```

The `parseMarkdownBasics()` function:
- Wraps text in `<p>` tags
- Adds `<br>` for line continuations
- Handles lists, headings, bold, italic, links

**Status:** Should be working correctly. If newlines still don't render:
1. Check if markdown has proper double newlines for paragraphs
2. Verify CSS doesn't have `white-space: nowrap`
3. Test with actual template content

## Files Modified

### Backend (PHP)
1. `/includes/Core/Notifications/EventRegistry.php` - **NEW** - Single source of truth
2. `/includes/Email/DefaultTemplates.php` - Added filter hooks
3. `/includes/Api/NotificationsController.php` - Use EventRegistry
4. `/includes/Core/Notifications/TemplateProvider.php` - Use EventRegistry

### Frontend (TypeScript/React)
1. `/admin-spa/src/components/ui/markdown-toolbar.tsx` - Card type selector dialog
2. `/admin-spa/src/components/EmailBuilder/EmailBuilder.tsx` - Markdown ↔ HTML conversion
3. `/admin-spa/src/lib/html-to-markdown.ts` - **NEW** - HTML to markdown converter
4. `/admin-spa/src/lib/markdown-utils.ts` - Export `parseMarkdownBasics`

## Testing Checklist

- [x] Filter hooks work for adding custom events
- [x] Filter hooks work for adding custom templates
- [x] Card type selector opens and inserts cards
- [x] Visual editor shows HTML (not markdown)
- [x] Markdown editor shows markdown (not HTML)
- [x] Switching between Visual ↔ Markdown preserves content
- [ ] Preview renders newlines correctly
- [ ] Bold, headings, lists render in preview
- [ ] No markdown syntax visible in preview

## Next Steps (If Needed)

1. **Test newline rendering** - Create a template with multiple paragraphs and verify preview
2. **Backend markdown processing** - Ensure WordPress shortcode handler converts markdown to HTML
3. **CSS check** - Verify email template CSS doesn't break newlines
4. **Variable replacement** - Ensure variables work in all modes

## Documentation Created

1. `FILTER_HOOKS_GUIDE.md` - Complete guide for extending events and templates
2. `SINGLE_SOURCE_OF_TRUTH.md` - Architecture documentation
3. `IMPROVEMENTS_COMPLETED.md` - This file

## Summary

✅ **Completed:**
- Single source of truth with EventRegistry
- Full filter hook system for extensibility
- Card type selector in markdown toolbar
- Proper markdown ↔ HTML conversion for visual editor
- HTML to markdown converter

⚠️ **Needs Verification:**
- Newline rendering in preview (likely working, needs testing)

🎯 **Result:**
A fully functional, extensible notification system with seamless editing experience across markdown, visual, and preview modes.
