## ✅ Root Causes Found & Fixed
|
|
|
|
### **Issue #1: Missing Customer Templates**
|
|
|
|
**Root Cause:**
|
|
```php
|
|
// DefaultEmailTemplates.php - WRONG mapping!
|
|
'customer_registered' => 'customer_registered', // ❌ Wrong key!
|
|
'customer_vip_upgraded' => 'customer_vip_upgraded', // ❌ Wrong key!
|
|
|
|
// But DefaultTemplates.php uses:
|
|
'registered' => self::customer_registered(), // ✅ Correct key
|
|
'vip_upgraded' => self::customer_vip_upgraded(), // ✅ 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', // ✅ Fixed!
|
|
'customer_registered' => 'registered', // ✅ Fixed!
|
|
'customer_vip_upgraded' => 'vip_upgraded', // ✅ 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=["']([^"']+)["']/); // ❌ Fails!
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Fix Applied:**
|
|
```typescript
|
|
// File: admin-spa/src/components/EmailBuilder/converter.ts
|
|
// Lines 230-235
|
|
|
|
const attributes = cardMatch[1].trim(); // ✅ Trim first!
|
|
const typeMatch = attributes.match(/type\s*=\s*["']([^"']+)["']/); // ✅ 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 "<h1>heading</h1>"
|
|
// parseCardsForPreview() wasn't converting markdown to HTML
|
|
return `<div class="${cardClass}">${cardContent}</div>`; // ❌ 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()); // ✅ Convert!
|
|
return `<div class="${cardClass}" style="${bgStyle}">${htmlContent}</div>`;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### **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
|
|
|
|
<Label>{markdownMode ? __('Markdown') : __('Message Body')}</Label> // ✅ Dynamic label!
|
|
|
|
<Button>
|
|
{markdownMode ? __('Switch to Visual Builder') : __('Switch to Markdown')} // ✅ Clear text!
|
|
</Button>
|
|
```
|

## 🎯 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
|
|
|

|
## 💡 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
|
|
↓
|
|
Template not found
|
|
↓
|
|
Fallback to default
|
|
↓
|
|
Only 7 templates show (missing 2)
|
|
```
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## 🚀 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:**
|
|
- ✅ Customer shows 9 templates
|
|
- ✅ Card types preserved
|
|
- ✅ Preview renders HTML
|
|
- ✅ Markdown mode works
|
