✅ Converter Fixed - All Content Now Displays!
Problem Solved! 🎉
The visual builder and code mode now display ALL content from templates, not just the last button!
The Issue
Before: Only the last button showed in the editor
- Visual Builder: Only 1 button visible ❌
- Code Mode: Only 1 line of HTML ❌
- Preview: Everything rendered correctly ✅
Why: The htmlToBlocks() converter was:
- Only looking for
[card]syntax - Not recognizing
<div class="card">HTML (from markdown conversion) - Skipping all unrecognized content
The Solution
Updated converter.ts ✅
What Changed:
- ✅ Now recognizes both
[card]syntax AND<div class="card">HTML - ✅ Properly extracts all cards regardless of format
- ✅ Preserves all content between cards
- ✅ Handles markdown-converted HTML correctly
New Regex:
// Match both [card] syntax and <div class="card"> HTML
const cardRegex = /(?:\[card([^\]]*)\]([\s\S]*?)\[\/card\]|<div class="card(?:\s+card-([^"]+))?"[^>]*>([\s\S]*?)<\/div>)/gs;
New Card Detection:
// Check both [card] and <div class="card">
let cardMatch = part.match(/\[card([^\]]*)\]([\s\S]*?)\[\/card\]/s);
if (cardMatch) {
// [card] syntax
content = cardMatch[2].trim();
cardType = typeMatch ? typeMatch[1] : 'default';
} else {
// <div class="card"> HTML syntax
const htmlCardMatch = part.match(/<div class="card(?:\s+card-([^"]+))?"[^>]*>([\s\S]*?)<\/div>/s);
if (htmlCardMatch) {
cardType = htmlCardMatch[1] || 'default';
content = htmlCardMatch[2].trim();
}
}
How It Works Now
Loading Flow:
1. Template loaded (markdown format)
↓
2. Markdown converted to HTML
[card] → <div class="card">
↓
3. htmlToBlocks() called
↓
4. Recognizes BOTH formats:
- [card]...[/card]
- <div class="card">...</div>
↓
5. Extracts ALL cards
↓
6. Creates blocks for visual builder
↓
7. ALL content displays! ✅
What's Fixed
✅ Visual Builder:
- Before: Only 1 button visible
- After: All cards and buttons visible!
✅ Code Mode:
- Before: Only 1 line of HTML
- After: Complete HTML with all cards!
✅ Preview:
- Before: Already working
- After: Still working perfectly!
