### 6. **Bug Fixes** ✅
|
|
|
|
**WordPress Media Modal Integration:**
|
|
- ✅ Fixed z-index conflict (WP media now appears above Radix components)
|
|
- ✅ Fixed pointer-events blocking (WP media is now fully clickable)
|
|
- ✅ Fixed dialog closing when selecting image (dialog stays open)
|
|
- ✅ Added exception for WP media in outside-click prevention
|
|
|
|
**CSS Fixes:**
|
|
```css
|
|
/* WordPress Media Modal z-index fix */
|
|
.media-modal {
|
|
z-index: 999999 !important;
|
|
pointer-events: auto !important;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
.media-modal-content {
|
|
z-index: 1000000 !important;
|
|
pointer-events: auto !important;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Dialog Fix:**
|
|
```typescript
|
|
onInteractOutside={(e) => {
|
|
const wpMediaOpen = document.querySelector('.media-modal');
|
|
if (wpMediaOpen) {
|
|
e.preventDefault(); // Keep dialog open when WP media is active
|
|
return;
|
|
}
|
|
e.preventDefault(); // Prevent closing for other outside clicks
|
|
}}
|
|
```

## 📱 Mobile Strategy
|
|
|
|
**Current Implementation (Optimal):**
|
|
- ✅ **Preview Tab** - Works on mobile (read-only viewing)
|
|
- ✅ **Code Tab** - Works on mobile (advanced users can edit)
|
|
- ❌ **Builder Tab** - Desktop-only with clear message
|
|
|
|
**Why This Works:**
|
|
- Users can view email previews on any device
|
|
- Power users can make quick code edits on mobile
|
|
- Visual builder requires desktop for optimal UX
|
|

|
|
## Next Steps (REQUIRED)
|
|
|
|
**IMPORTANT: Backend Integration Still Needed**
|
|
|
|
The new `DefaultTemplates.php` is ready but NOT YET WIRED to the backend!
|
|
|
|
**Current State:**
|
|
- New templates created: `includes/Email/DefaultTemplates.php`
|
|
- Backend still using old: `includes/Core/Notifications/DefaultEmailTemplates.php`
|
|
|
|
**To Complete Integration:**
|
|
1. Update `includes/Core/Notifications/DefaultEmailTemplates.php` to use new `DefaultTemplates` class
|
|
2. Or replace old class entirely with new one
|
|
3. Update API controller to return correct event counts per recipient
|
|
4. Wire up to database on plugin activation
|
|
5. Hook into WooCommerce order status changes
|
|
6. Test email sending
|
|
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
```php
|
|
use WooNooW\Email\DefaultTemplates;
|
|
|
|
// On plugin activation
|
|
$templates = DefaultTemplates::get_all_templates();
|
|
foreach ($templates['customer'] as $event => $body) {
|
|
$subject = DefaultTemplates::get_default_subject('customer', $event);
|
|
// Save to database
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
