This commit fixes all major certificate functionality issues reported by the user:
## Key Fixes Applied:
### 1. JavaScript Syntax Error Resolution
- Fixed escaped exclamation mark (\!) in hvac-certificate-actions.js line 119
- This syntax error was preventing the entire JavaScript file from executing
- Removed corrupted content at end of file
### 2. Dynamic Form Handling Implementation
- Converted static event handlers to event delegation for dynamic forms
- Generate certificates form is created dynamically after event selection
- Updated all button handlers (select-all, deselect-all, etc.) to use event delegation
- Fixed initialization logic to detect generate certificates page correctly
### 3. Backend AJAX Functionality Verification
- Confirmed AJAX handlers are properly registered and working
- Direct testing shows AJAX endpoints return correct data (5 attendees for test event)
- Certificate generation, viewing, and emailing backends are fully functional
### 4. Template Query Standardization
- Updated generate certificates template to use same attendee query as AJAX handler
- Fixed outdated TEC attendee post types and meta key references
- Standardized on modern TEC structure (tec_tc_attendee, tribe_tpp_attendees)
- Added proper COALESCE handling for multiple email/name field variations
### 5. Event Handler Architecture Improvement
- Fixed form detection logic for dynamically created certificate generation form
- Improved script initialization to handle both static and dynamic page elements
- Enhanced error handling and user feedback systems
## Technical Details:
**Before:** Certificate generation, viewing, and emailing were completely non-functional
- JavaScript syntax errors prevented any interactions
- Template used outdated database queries
- Event handlers weren't attached to dynamic forms
**After:** Full certificate workflow is restored
- Users can select events and see attendees dynamically loaded
- AJAX-powered attendee loading works correctly
- Certificate generation backend processes requests properly
- View and email certificate functionality is operational
## Testing Results:
- ✅ AJAX backend endpoints return correct data (verified with direct API calls)
- ✅ JavaScript files load and initialize properly
- ✅ Event selection triggers proper page updates
- ✅ Generate Certificates page shows correct event/attendee structure
- ✅ All 5 original UI issues previously reported are resolved
This completes the certificate functionality restoration requested by the user.
