🎯 CURRENT SESSION - ZOHO CRM INTEGRATION SETUP (Dec 16, 2025)

Zoho CRM Integration - Production Issue (BLOCKING)

Objective: Configure and test Zoho CRM sync implementation for production environment.

Status: 🔴 BLOCKING - Credential save hangs on production (400 Bad Request)

Active Issue - Credential Save Hanging on Production

Problem: When saving Zoho CRM credentials at https://upskillhvac.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=hvac-zoho-sync, the AJAX request returns a 400 Bad Request error and the form hangs on "Saving...".

Console Error:

POST https://upskillhvac.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php 400 (Bad Request)

Investigation Completed:

1. ✅ Fixed Client ID regex to allow lowercase letters ([A-Z0-9] → [A-Za-z0-9])
2. ✅ Fixed credential storage mismatch - all methods now use HVAC_Secure_Storage
3. ✅ Updated HVAC_Zoho_CRM_Auth class to use encrypted storage consistently
4. ✅ Updated OAuth callback to use secure storage
5. ✅ Updated test_connection to use secure storage
6. ✅ Deployed fixes to production - Issue persists

Files Modified:

• includes/admin/class-zoho-admin.php - Secure storage for credentials, fixed regex
• includes/zoho/class-zoho-crm-auth.php - All credential operations use HVAC_Secure_Storage

Next Steps for Investigation:

1. Check PHP error logs on production server for detailed error
2. Test AJAX endpoint directly via curl to isolate frontend vs backend issue
3. Verify nonce generation and validation on production
4. Check if WAF/security plugin is blocking the request
5. Test with browser network tab to see exact request/response

Possible Causes:

• Server-side security rules (Cloudflare, ModSecurity) blocking POST to admin-ajax.php
• Nonce validation failing due to caching
• Plugin conflict on production
• HVAC_Secure_Storage encryption key difference between environments

Zoho CRM Integration - Staging Environment (Working)

Status: ✅ OAuth Working, Sync Methods Implemented, Dry-Run Tested

Completed:

1. ✅ OAuth Authentication Verified

   • Refresh token exists and is valid
   • API connection successful (53 modules accessible)
   • Read operations working (Contacts, Campaigns, Users)

2. ✅ Read-Only API Tests Passed

   • Organization Info: Manifold Cloud Services (America/Detroit)
   • Contacts: 5+ records readable (Tanner Moore, Pete Knochelmann, etc.)
   • Campaigns: 5+ records readable (Nov 28, Oct 23, etc.)
   • CRM Users: Ben Reed (CEO), JR Lawhorne (Manager), etc.

3. ✅ Sync Class Bug Fixes

   • Fixed user roles: trainer/trainee → hvac_trainer/hvac_master_trainer
   • Fixed event filter: Removed restrictive _hvac_event_type meta query
   • Fixed event display: Changed eventDisplay from list to custom to include past events
   • Fixed WooCommerce dependency: Added graceful error handling

4. ✅ Event Tickets Integration (NEW)

   • Replaced WooCommerce sync with Event Tickets (Tickets Commerce) support
   • Added sync_attendees() method → Zoho Contacts + Campaign Members
   • Added sync_rsvps() method → Zoho Leads + Campaign Members
   • Updated meta keys for Tickets Commerce (_tec_tickets_commerce_*)
   • Updated meta keys for RSVPs (_tribe_rsvp_*)

5. ✅ Admin Interface Updated

   • Added "Sync Attendees" button (Contacts + Campaign Members)
   • Added "Sync RSVPs" button (Leads + Campaign Members)
   • Renamed "Sync Purchases" to "Sync Orders" (Tickets Commerce)

Dry-Run Results (Staging - No Data Sent to Zoho):

Sync Type	Records Found	Status
Events → Campaigns	20	✅ Ready
Trainers → Contacts	53	✅ Ready
Attendees → Contacts + Campaign Members	79	✅ Ready
RSVPs → Leads + Campaign Members	4	✅ Ready
Orders → Invoices	52	✅ Ready

Zoho CRM Mapping Strategy:

• Events → Campaigns (direct mapping)
• Trainers (hvac_trainer, hvac_master_trainer) → Contacts (with Contact_Type field)
• Ticket Attendees → Contacts + Campaign Members (links Contact ↔ Campaign)
• RSVPs → Leads + Campaign Members (links Lead ↔ Campaign)
• Ticket Orders → Invoices (financial records)

Staging Protection Active:

• All write operations (POST/PUT/DELETE) are blocked on staging
• Only production (upskillhvac.com) can write to Zoho CRM
• Dry-run shows what would sync without actually sending data

Admin Page Location:

• /wp-admin/admin.php?page=hvac-zoho-sync

Files Modified:

• includes/zoho/class-zoho-sync.php - Complete rewrite for Event Tickets
• includes/admin/class-zoho-admin.php - Added new sync buttons

📅 PREVIOUS SESSION - GEMINI TRANSITION & VALIDATION (Dec 16, 2025)

Gemini Development Environment Setup

Objective: Transition from Claude Code-specific tooling to Gemini/Antigravity agent development workflow.

Completed:

1. ✅ Created GEMINI.md - New development guidelines

   • Critical safety constraints for Cloudways Shared VPS
   • Workflows for testing (/test) and deployment
   • Coding standards (Singleton pattern, security, PHP 8+ modernization)
   • Agent personas (Tester, Security Auditor, Deployment Engineer)

2. ✅ Environment Configuration

   • Updated .gitignore to allow .agent/, .mcp.json, GEMINI.md
   • Created /home/ben/dev/upskill-event-manager/.agent/workflows/test.md
   • Fixed file access blocked by gitignore

3. ✅ PHP 8+ Compatibility Verification

   • Issue: true|\WP_Error syntax causing PHP fatal errors on staging (PHP 8.0)
   • Fix: Changed to bool|\WP_Error in includes/class-hvac-security-helpers.php:231
   • Status: Deployed to staging, verified working

4. ✅ Comprehensive Test Suite

   • File: test-comprehensive-validation.js (Playwright E2E tests)
   • Fixed: Login form selectors (#user_login, #user_pass, #wp-submit)
   • Modes: Headless (default) or headed (DISPLAY=:1 HEADLESS=false)
   • Results:
     • Master Trainer pages: ✅ ALL PASSING (4/4)
     • Security endpoints: ✅ ALL SECURE (4/4)
     • Trainer pages: ⚠️ Require authentication (expected)

Test Results Summary:

✅ Master Dashboard - Functional with navigation
✅ Announcements - Fully functional & responsive
✅ Pending Approvals - Fully functional & responsive
✅ Trainers - Fully functional & responsive

🔒 Security: All AJAX endpoints properly secured (401/400 responses)
   - hvac_get_trainer_stats
   - hvac_manage_announcement
   - hvac_approve_trainer
   - hvac_approve_trainer_v2

Test Credentials Updated:

• test_master / Test123! (hvac_master_trainer)
• test_trainer / Test123! (hvac_trainer)
• test_admin / Test123! (administrator)

5. ✅ Master Trainer Navigation Dropdown Fix (Dec 16, 2025)
   • Issue: Green/teal colored boxes appearing in navigation toolbar instead of dropdown arrows
   • Root Cause: Empty <span class="menu-toggle"> elements with CSS background styling
   • Fix: Replaced with <span class="dropdown-arrow">▼</span> in includes/class-hvac-master-menu-system.php:327
   • Impact: All master trainer pages (/master-trainer/*)
   • Status: ✅ Deployed to staging, verified working
   • Verification: Screenshots confirm dropdown arrows display correctly, green boxes removed

2. Infrastructure Constraints:

   • Cloudways Shared VPS (limited resources)
   • Do NOT force PHP version changes
   • Do NOT install system-level packages
   • Be mindful of CPU/RAM usage
