## TEC Integration Fixes
- **FIXED**: Iframe infinite loop resolved by user correcting TEC Community URLs from /network/ to /community/
- **CREATED**: hvac-tec-integration.css with comprehensive styling for TEC forms
- **VALIDATED**: TEC edit forms now load properly with all fields visible and styled
## Investigation Results
- ✅ Template rendering issue resolved - iframe no longer creates redirect loop
- ✅ CSS 404 errors eliminated with proper stylesheet creation
- ✅ Form accessibility confirmed - all TEC fields display correctly
- ❌ Form submission still returns "Security check failed" - requires custom form approach
## Technical Implementation
- Added comprehensive CSS styling for TEC integration pages
- Implemented proper form field styling matching HVAC design system
- Enhanced responsive design for mobile compatibility
- Added loading states and error handling styles
## Files Modified
- `assets/css/hvac-tec-integration.css` (new): Complete TEC integration stylesheet
- `.claude/settings.local.json`: Updated SSH permissions for debugging
## Root Cause Analysis
The original iframe loop was caused by URL mismatch between plugin configuration
(/events/network/) and actual TEC Community URLs (/events/community/).
Form submission issues indicate need for custom WordPress form implementation.
## Next Steps
Implement custom WordPress event form following best practices to eliminate
dependency on TEC Community Events plugin limitations and provide complete
field control with native WordPress security.

- Pure CSS hover dropdowns for desktop (no JS needed)
- Smooth animations with 300ms transitions
- Professional hover effects with bottom border animation

This refactoring ensures the plugin complies with WordPress.org plugin
guidelines which require plugins to be theme-independent. The new layout
system uses standard WordPress hooks and filters that work universally.
Key changes:
- Body classes: hvac-plugin-page, hvac-no-sidebar, hvac-full-width
- Generic post meta: _sidebar_layout, page_layout (widely supported)
- Standard WordPress hooks: body_class, wp_enqueue_scripts, is_active_sidebar
