2025-03-25 10:40:00 - Updated with registration and authentication decisions
|
|
|
|
## Core Architectural Decisions
|
|
|
|
### Registration and Authentication Architecture
|
|
* **Decision**: Implement custom registration and authentication system
|
|
* **Rationale**: Need fine-grained control over user registration process and role management
|
|
* **Implementation Details**:
|
|
* Custom database table for trainer profiles
|
|
* Client and server-side validation
|
|
* Automated venue creation integration
|
|
* Email notification system
|
|
* Role-based access control
|
|
* Security measures following WordPress best practices
|
|
|
|
### SSL Configuration for Development
|
|
* **Decision**: Implement SSL support with self-signed certificates
|
|
* **Rationale**: Enable secure HTTPS development environment matching production
|
|
* **Implementation Details**:
|
|
* Self-signed certificates for localhost
|
|
* Nginx SSL configuration with modern security settings
|
|
* Automated setup script for consistent configuration
|
|
* SSL port 8443 for development access
|
|
|
|
### Custom Role Architecture
|
|
* **Decision**: Implement hvac_trainer custom WordPress role
|
|
* **Rationale**: Provide specific capabilities while restricting administrative access
|
|
* **Implementation Details**:
|
|
* Role name: hvac_trainer
|
|
* Custom capabilities for HVAC-specific features
|
|
* Integration with The Events Calendar capabilities
|
|
* Automatic role management through plugin lifecycle
|
|
* Strict security boundaries
|
|
|
|
### Integration-First Development Approach
|
|
* **Decision**: Maximize use of existing WordPress and The Events Calendar functionality
|
|
* **Rationale**: Leverage proven solutions, reduce custom code, ensure maintainability
|
|
* **Implementation Details**:
|
|
* Use WordPress core features whenever possible
|
|
* Extend The Events Calendar functionality rather than rebuild
|
|
* Custom development only when necessary
|
|
* Maintain plugin upgrade compatibility
|
|
|
|
### Project Restart Decision
|
|
* **Decision**: Restart project with fresh codebase
|
|
* **Rationale**: Clean implementation of requirements with modern best practices
|
|
* **Implementation Details**:
|
|
* Fresh repository setup
|
|
* New development environment configuration
|
|
* Modern testing framework implementation
|
|
* Phased feature implementation approach
|
|
|
|
## Development Environment Decisions
|
|
|
|
### Docker-based Development Environment
|
|
* **Decision**: Implement containerized development environment using Docker
|
|
* **Rationale**: Ensure consistent development experience and match production environment
|
|
* **Implementation Details**:
|
|
* WordPress (PHP 8.1-FPM)
|
|
* MariaDB
|
|
* phpMyAdmin
|
|
* Nginx with SSL support
|
|
* Environment management scripts
|
|
|
|
### Testing Framework Architecture
|
|
* **Decision**: Implement comprehensive testing framework with Playwright
|
|
* **Rationale**: Modern features, better reliability, cross-browser support
|
|
* **Implementation Details**:
|
|
* Unit tests for business logic
|
|
* Integration tests for WordPress functionality
|
|
* E2E tests for user journeys
|
|
* Cross-browser testing support
|
|
* Mobile device emulation
|
|
|
|
### Development Tooling
|
|
* **Decision**: Create suite of management scripts
|
|
* **Rationale**: Streamline development workflow and ensure consistency
|
|
* **Implementation Details**:

|
|
* Production data synchronization
|
|
* Database management
|
|
* Test execution and reporting
|
|
* SSL configuration
|
|
|
|
### Deployment Strategy
|
|

|
|
* **Rationale**: Support different environments with consistent deployment
|
|
* **Implementation Details**:
|
|
* Environment-specific configurations
|
|
* Pre-deployment verification
|
|
* Automated testing integration
|
|
* Rollback procedures
|
|
* Security measures
|
|
|
|
### Security Architecture
|
|
* **Decision**: Implement comprehensive security measures
|
|
* **Rationale**: Protect sensitive data and ensure secure operations
|
|
* **Implementation Details**:
|
