## ✅ What Was Implemented
|
|
|
|
### 1. Backend API (100% Complete)
|
|
|
|
**File:** `includes/Api/NotificationsController.php`
|
|
|
|
**New Endpoints:**
|
|
- `GET /woonoow/v1/notifications/staff/events` - Returns staff-only events
|
|
- `GET /woonoow/v1/notifications/customer/events` - Returns customer-only events
|
|
|
|
**Changes:**
|
|
- Added `recipient_type` field to all events (`'staff'` or `'customer'`)
|
|
- Created `get_all_events()` private helper method
|
|
- Implemented filtering logic based on `recipient_type`
|
|
- All existing endpoints remain functional
|
|
|
|
**Event Classification:**
|
|
```php
|
|
Staff Events (recipient_type: 'staff'):
|
|
- order_placed (New order notification for admin)
|
|
- order_cancelled (Order cancellation alert)
|
|
- low_stock (Low stock alert)
|
|
- out_of_stock (Out of stock alert)
|
|
|
|
Customer Events (recipient_type: 'customer'):
|
|
- order_processing (Order is being processed)
|
|
- order_completed (Order completed)
|
|
- order_refunded (Order refunded)
|
|
- new_customer (New account created)

## 🐛 Bugs Fixed
|
|
|
|
### Issue 1: Staff Route Not Working
|
|
**Problem:** `/settings/notifications/staff` showed blank page
|
|
**Cause:** Route not registered in App.tsx
|
|
**Fix:** Added route registration and fixed import paths
|
|
|
|
### Issue 2: Customer Channels Inconsistent with Staff
|
|
**Problem:** Customer Channels page had different layout than Staff
|
|
**Cause:** Different component structure
|
|
**Fix:** Matched Customer Channels layout to Staff with addon section
|
|
|
|
### Issue 3: Customer Events Showing "No Events"
|
|
**Problem:** Customer Events tab showed "No Events" message
|
|
**Cause:** Backend filtering logic using `reset()` on channels array
|
|
**Fix:** Changed to use `recipient_type` field for filtering
