+# Announcement Modal System
+
+**Version:** 1.0.0  
+**Date:** August 20, 2025  
+**Status:** Production Ready  
+
+## Overview
+
+The Announcement Modal System provides an elegant popup interface for viewing full announcement content on the Trainer Resources page. This system replaces the previous non-functional "Read More" buttons with a fully interactive modal experience that loads announcement content via AJAX.
+
+## Features
+
+### ✅ Core Functionality
+- **Modal Popup Interface**: Professional overlay modal with smooth animations
+- **AJAX Content Loading**: Secure server-side content loading with nonce validation
+- **Responsive Design**: Works across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices
+- **Accessibility Support**: ARIA attributes, keyboard navigation, and screen reader compatibility
+- **Multiple Interaction Methods**: Click button, close with X, click outside, or press ESC
+
+### ✅ Content Display
+- **Rich HTML Content**: Full announcement text with proper formatting
+- **Metadata Display**: Publication date, author information, and categorization
+- **Image Support**: Featured images displayed within modal content
+- **Styling Consistency**: Matches overall HVAC plugin design system
+
+## Architecture
+
+### File Structure
+```

+### Component Interaction Flow
+```mermaid
+graph TB
+    A[User clicks Read More] --> B[JavaScript Event Handler]
+    B --> C[AJAX Request with Nonce]

+    E --> F[Return JSON Response]
+    F --> G[Populate Modal Elements]
+    G --> H[Display Modal with Animation]
+```
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### 1. HTML Structure
+
+The modal HTML is embedded in the resources page template:
+
+```html
+<div id="announcement-modal" class="hvac-modal" style="display: none;">
+    <div class="modal-content">
+        <div class="modal-header">
+            <span class="modal-close">&times;</span>
+            <h2 class="modal-title"></h2>
+        </div>
+        <div class="modal-body">
+            <div class="modal-meta"></div>
+            <div class="modal-content-text"></div>
+        </div>
+    </div>
+</div>
+```
+
+### 2. CSS Styling
+
+Key styling features include:
+
+```css
+.hvac-modal {
+    position: fixed;
+    top: 0;
+    left: 0;
+    width: 100%;
+    height: 100%;
+    background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7);
+    z-index: 10000;
+    opacity: 0;
+    visibility: hidden;
+    transition: all 0.3s ease;
+}
+
+.hvac-modal.active {
+    opacity: 1;
+    visibility: visible;
+}
+
+.modal-content {
+    background: white;
+    margin: 5% auto;
+    padding: 0;
+    border-radius: 8px;
+    width: 90%;
+    max-width: 800px;
+    max-height: 90vh;
+    overflow-y: auto;
+    box-shadow: 0 10px 30px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);
+    transform: scale(0.8);
+    transition: transform 0.3s ease;
+}
+
+.hvac-modal.active .modal-content {
+    transform: scale(1);
+}
+```
+
+### 3. JavaScript Integration
+
+The modal system uses jQuery with proper event delegation:
+
+```javascript
+$(document).on('click', '.announcement-link, .read-more-btn', function(e) {
+    e.preventDefault();
+    var announcementId = $(this).data('id');
+    openAnnouncementModal(announcementId);
+});
+
+function openAnnouncementModal(announcementId) {
+    $.ajax({
+        url: hvac_announcements_ajax.ajax_url,
+        type: 'POST',
+        data: {
+            action: 'hvac_view_announcement',
+            id: announcementId,
+            nonce: hvac_announcements_ajax.nonce
+        },
+        success: function(response) {
+            if (response.success && response.data) {
+                // Populate and show modal
+                populateModal(response.data);
+                showModal();
+            }
+        }
+    });
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Server-side Handler
+
+The AJAX handler in `HVAC_Announcements_Ajax::view_announcement()`:
+
+```php
+public function view_announcement() {
+    // Rate limiting and security checks
+    $this->check_rate_limit();
+    
+    if (!check_ajax_referer('hvac_announcements_nonce', 'nonce', false)) {
+        wp_send_json_error('Invalid security token');
+    }
+    
+    // Permission and content validation
+    if (!HVAC_Announcements_Permissions::current_user_can_read()) {
+        wp_send_json_error('Insufficient permissions');
+    }
+    
+    // Load and return announcement data
+    $title = get_the_title($post);
+    $content = apply_filters('the_content', $post->post_content);
+    $date = get_the_date('F j, Y', $post);
+    $author = get_the_author_meta('display_name', $post->post_author);
+    
+    wp_send_json_success(array(
+        'title' => $title,
+        'content' => $content,
+        'date' => $date,
+        'author' => $author
+    ));
+}
+```
+
+## Security Implementation
+
+### Nonce Validation
+- **Separate Nonce System**: Uses `hvac_announcements_nonce` to avoid conflicts
+- **Action-Specific**: `wp_create_nonce('hvac_announcements_nonce')`
+- **Server Validation**: `check_ajax_referer('hvac_announcements_nonce', 'nonce', false)`
+
+### Permission Checks  
+- **User Authentication**: Verified logged-in status
+- **Role-Based Access**: Uses `HVAC_Announcements_Permissions::current_user_can_read()`
+- **Content Filtering**: Only published announcements visible to regular trainers
+- **Rate Limiting**: 30 requests per minute per user
+
+### Content Sanitization
+- **Output Escaping**: All user content properly escaped with `wp_kses_post()`
+- **HTML Filtering**: WordPress content filters applied with `apply_filters('the_content')`
+- **XSS Prevention**: Proper escaping in JavaScript with custom `escapeHtml()` function
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Script Localization
+
+The system uses a dedicated AJAX object to avoid conflicts:
+
+```php
+wp_localize_script('hvac-announcements-view', 'hvac_announcements_ajax', array(
+    'ajax_url' => admin_url('admin-ajax.php'),
+    'nonce' => wp_create_nonce('hvac_announcements_nonce'),
+));
+```
+
+### Asset Loading
+
+Scripts and styles are conditionally loaded only on the resources page:
+
+```php
+wp_enqueue_script(
+    'hvac-announcements-view',
+    plugin_dir_url(dirname(__FILE__)) . 'assets/js/hvac-announcements-view.js',
+    array('jquery'),
+    HVAC_VERSION,
+    true
+);
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+### Automated Testing
+
+The system includes comprehensive testing via Playwright:
+
+```javascript
+// Test modal functionality
+await page.click('.read-more-btn[data-id="6240"]');
+await page.waitForSelector('#announcement-modal.active');
+const modalTitle = await page.locator('.modal-title').textContent();
+expect(modalTitle).toBe('Reminder: Upcoming Certification Deadline');
+```
+
+### Manual Testing Checklist
+

+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Modal Not Opening**
+   ```javascript
+   // Check if AJAX object exists
+   console.log(typeof hvac_announcements_ajax !== 'undefined');
+   // Verify nonce is valid
+   console.log(hvac_announcements_ajax.nonce);
+   ```
+
+2. **Content Not Loading**
+   ```php
+   // Check permissions
+   var_dump(HVAC_Announcements_Permissions::current_user_can_read());
+   // Verify post exists and is published
+   var_dump(get_post_status($post_id));
+   ```
+
+3. **Styling Issues**
+   ```css
+   /* Ensure modal has proper z-index */
+   .hvac-modal {
+       z-index: 10000 !important;
+   }
+   ```
+
+### Debug Mode
+
+Enable debug logging:
+
+```php
+if (defined('WP_DEBUG') && WP_DEBUG) {
+    error_log('Modal Debug: ' . print_r($response_data, true));
+}
+```
