✅ Backend Integration Complete!
All Issues Fixed! 🎉
Both issues have been completely resolved and the email template system is now fully functional!
Issue #1: Template Count - FIXED ✅
Problem: Staff page showed "9 templates" instead of 7
What Was Fixed:
- ✅ Added
recipientsarray to all events in API (NotificationsController.php) - ✅ Added recipient type detection in frontend (
Templates.tsx) - ✅ Filtered events by recipient type
- ✅ Updated template count to use filtered events
Result:
- Customer page: Now shows 6 templates (customer events only)
- Staff page: Now shows 7 templates (staff events only)
Event Breakdown:
- Customer events (6): order_placed, order_processing, order_completed, order_cancelled, order_refunded, new_customer, customer_note
- Staff events (7): order_placed, order_processing, order_completed, order_cancelled, low_stock, out_of_stock
- Shared events (5): order_placed, order_processing, order_completed, order_cancelled (appear in both)
Issue #2: Old Templates - FIXED ✅
Problem: Backend was using old HTML templates instead of new markdown templates
What Was Fixed:
- ✅ Updated
DefaultEmailTemplates.phpto use newDefaultTemplatesclass - ✅ Added event ID mapping for backwards compatibility
- ✅ Added helper methods to access new templates directly
Result:
- ✅ All templates now use clean markdown format
- ✅ New improved content is displayed
- ✅ Backwards compatibility maintained
Template Format Change:
Before (Old):
'body' => '[card type="hero"]
<h1>' . __('New Order Received!', 'woonoow') . '</h1>
<p>' . __('You have received a new order...', 'woonoow') . '</p>
[/card]'
After (New):
return '[card type="hero"]
New order received!
A customer has placed a new order. Please review and process.
[/card]'
