Last Updated: January 9, 2026 Current Session: Master Trainer Profile Edit Enhancement - Complete Version: 2.1.12 (Deployed to Production)

---

🎯 CURRENT SESSION - MASTER TRAINER PROFILE EDIT ENHANCEMENT (Jan 9, 2026)

Status: ✅ COMPLETE - Deployed to Production

Objective: Fix broken button styling and add all trainer profile fields to the master trainer profile edit page.

Issues Fixed:

1. Button Styling Broken - "Back to Dashboard" and "Cancel" buttons appeared faded/invisible due to CSS conflicts with theme
2. Missing Profile Fields - Only showing basic name fields, needed all trainer profile fields
3. No Password Reset - Master trainers couldn't trigger password resets for trainers they manage

Changes Made

1. ✅ Fixed Button Styling (templates/page-master-trainer-profile-edit-simple.php)

   • Added scoped CSS with new class names (hvac-btn-primary, hvac-btn-secondary, hvac-btn-outline)
   • Avoids theme CSS conflicts by using page-specific selectors
   • Proper colors, hover states, and responsive behavior

2. ✅ Added All Profile Fields (6 complete sections)

   • Profile Settings: Visibility (Public/Private)
   • Certification Information: Status, Type, Date Certified
   • Personal Information: Name, Email, LinkedIn URL, Bio
   • Professional Information: Accreditation, Training Audience/Formats/Locations/Resources (checkboxes)
   • Business Information: Business Type, Revenue Target, Application Details
   • Location Information: City, State, Country, Coordinates with re-geocode button

3. ✅ Added Password Reset Button

   • New "Send Password Reset Email" button in Personal Information section
   • Uses WordPress built-in retrieve_password() function
   • Shows status feedback (Sending... / Sent! / Error)
   • Requires master trainer or admin permissions
   • All actions logged for audit trail

4. ✅ Added AJAX Handler (includes/class-hvac-ajax-handlers.php)

   • New hvac_send_password_reset endpoint
   • Nonce verification, permission checks, input validation
   • Secure implementation using WordPress core functions

Files Modified

• templates/page-master-trainer-profile-edit-simple.php - Complete rewrite with all fields
• includes/class-hvac-ajax-handlers.php - Added password reset handler

📋 PREVIOUS SESSION - TEC COMMUNITY EVENTS DEPENDENCY ANALYSIS (Jan 5, 2026)

Status: ✅ COMPLETE - Documented as Technical Debt

Objective: Analyze whether "The Events Calendar: Community" (TEC CE) plugin is still being used after recent refactoring.

Findings:

• The plugin still actively relies on TEC CE for event creation/editing
• Core shortcode [tribe_community_events] is used in 7 template/class files
• TEC CE hooks are used for field processing and form customization
• HVAC_Event_Manager has custom CRUD capabilities but production paths use TEC CE

Removal Scope:

• Estimated effort: 9-14 days of development
• Key work: Custom forms, date pickers, validation, template updates, testing
• Risk: Recurring events complexity, Event Tickets integration

Decision: Deferred as technical debt. Current implementation is functional and stable.

Deliverables

1. ✅ Analysis Report: docs/reports/TEC-COMMUNITY-EVENTS-DEPENDENCY-ANALYSIS.md
2. ✅ CLAUDE.md Updated: Added Technical Debt section
3. ✅ Status.md Updated: This entry

📋 PREVIOUS SESSION - SCHEDULED SYNC PERSISTENCE FIX (Dec 20, 2025)

Status: ✅ COMPLETE - Deployed to Production

Problem: Scheduled sync showed "Not Scheduled" after page refresh, even though settings were saved correctly.

Root Cause:

• HVAC_Zoho_Scheduled_Sync was only loaded in admin context
• On non-admin requests (including WP-Cron), custom cron schedules weren't registered
• WordPress was clearing cron events because it didn't recognize the schedules

Fixes Applied

1. ✅ Load Scheduled Sync on ALL Requests (class-hvac-plugin.php)

   • Moved HVAC_Zoho_Scheduled_Sync::instance() initialization to main plugin loader
   • Now loads alongside other schedulers (like Communication Scheduler)
   • Ensures cron schedules and action hooks are always registered

2. ✅ Add add_option Hook (class-zoho-scheduled-sync.php)

   • Added add_option_hvac_zoho_auto_sync hook for first-time setting creation
   • WordPress fires add_option_ (not update_option_) on first save

3. ✅ Explicit Scheduling in Save (class-zoho-admin.php)

   • save_settings() now explicitly calls schedule_sync() or unschedule_sync()
   • Ensures scheduling works even when option value hasn't changed
   • update_option_ hook only fires when value actually changes

Files Modified

• includes/class-hvac-plugin.php - Load scheduled sync globally
• includes/zoho/class-zoho-scheduled-sync.php - Add first-time option hook
• includes/admin/class-zoho-admin.php - Explicit scheduling call

---

📋 PREVIOUS SESSION - PUBLIC MAP & DIRECTORY FIX (Dec 21, 2025)

Status: 🔄 IN PROGRESS - Deployed to Staging (Strategy H)

Problem: Map markers missing. Data analysis reveals markers have identical Latitude and Longitude values (corruption).

Root Cause:

• IGM Plugin's client-side processing corrupts longitude by overwriting it with latitude immediately before rendering.
• Previous PHP Injection strategies (D-G) caused 500 errors due to WP_Query timing/context issues in the footer.

Solution (Strategy H):

1. ✅ Javascript Interceptor: Injected a robust interceptor script in class-hvac-mapgeo-integration.php.
2. ✅ Mechanism: Uses Object.defineProperty on window.iMapsData to catch the data assignment before the map plugin sees it.
3. ✅ Repair Logic: Detects corrupted markers (Lat == Lng) and instantly restores correct values from safe lat/lng backup keys provided by PHP.
4. ✅ Cleanup: Removed dangerous PHP query injections that were causing server errors.

Current Status:

• Fix deployed to Staging.
• Pending verification of visible markers and "Healed" console logs.

Next Steps:

1. Verify map renders correctly on Staging.
2. Deploy to Production.

• Manual Trigger: "Run Sync Now" button for testing

Changes Made

1. ✅ New File: class-zoho-scheduled-sync.php

   • WP-Cron management with custom intervals
   • run_scheduled_sync() processes all data types
   • Tracks last sync time for incremental filtering
   • Stores results for status display

2. ✅ Updated class-zoho-sync.php

   • All 5 sync methods now accept $since_timestamp parameter

3. ✅ Updated class-zoho-admin.php

   • Added save_settings() AJAX handler
   • Added run_scheduled_sync_now() AJAX handler
   • Enhanced admin UI with new intervals and status display

every_15_minutes	Every 15 minutes
every_30_minutes	Every 30 minutes
hourly	Hourly
every_6_hours	Every 6 hours

📋 PREVIOUS SESSION - BATCH SYNC ENHANCEMENT (Dec 18, 2025)

Status: ✅ COMPLETE - All Sync Tasks Now Auto-Iterate with Progress Bar

Summary:

• All 5 Sync Types: Now support batch pagination with auto-continue
• Progress Bar: Visual feedback showing X of Y processed (N%)
• No Manual Repeating: Frontend auto-loops until has_more: false
• Orphan Cleanup: Deleted 14 test attendees referencing deleted events

Changes Made

1. ✅ Backend Pagination:
   • All sync methods (sync_events, sync_users, sync_attendees, sync_rsvps, sync_purchases) now accept $offset and $limit parameters
   • Each returns has_more, next_offset, and total for pagination
   • Admin endpoint updated to pass offset to sync methods
2. ✅ Frontend Progress UI:
   • New syncWithProgress() function replaces single AJAX calls
   • Auto-continues batches until complete
   • Progress bar shows percentage and count
   • Accumulated results across all batches

Files Modified

📋 PREVIOUS SESSION - ZOHO CRM ATTENDEE SYNC (Dec 17-18, 2025)

Status: ✅ COMPLETE - All Attendees Syncing Successfully

Summary:

• Events Sync: ✅ WORKING. 39 events synced with enhanced field mapping.
• Attendees Sync: ✅ WORKING. 50/50 synced, 0 errors, all contacts updated with custom fields.

Issues Resolved

1. ✅ Campaign Member Linking:
   • Fixed API endpoint: PUT /Contacts/{id}/Campaigns (was /Campaigns/{id}/Contacts/{id})
   • Fixed log_debug() visibility (private → public)
2. ✅ Attendee Field Mapping:
   • measureQuick Email → Email (primary, used for lookup)
   • Attendee Email → Secondary_Email
   • Attendee Cell Phone → Mobile
   • Company Role → Primary_Role
   • Fixed meta key: _tec_tickets_commerce_attendee_fields with hyphenated field names
3. ✅ Email Fallback Logic:
   • If attendee email empty, use measureQuick email (and vice versa)
   • Only fails if BOTH emails are empty
4. ✅ DUPLICATE_DATA Handling:
   • When Zoho returns "duplicate exists", extract existing contact ID from error
   • Use that ID to update instead of failing
5. ✅ Existing Contact Updates:
   • Existing contacts now updated via PUT with new field data on each sync
