# Wizdom Networks - Project Transfer Summary

## **Overview**
This document provides a **comprehensive project summary** to ensure a **smooth transition** into a new chat. It captures all **current development progress, architectural decisions, and pending tasks** to allow seamless continuation of work using an uploaded compressed Git repository.

---

## **1️⃣ Project Scope & Goals**
- **Website:** Wizdom Networks IT consulting and services platform.
- **Architecture:** PHP MVC framework using **Nginx + MariaDB**.
- **Design Based On:** `focus.wise1.net` for UI structure and layout.
- **Development Stack:**
  - **Backend:** PHP 7.4.33, MVC pattern with controllers handling logic and `View.php` handling rendering.
  - **Frontend:** Bootstrap 5+, modular CSS structure, and interactive UI elements.
  - **Utilities:** `Logger.php`, `ErrorHandler.php`, `View.php` for structured logging, error handling, and rendering.
  - **Testing:** PHPUnit-based unit tests integrated for controllers and views.
  - **Version Control:** Gitea repository is the **source of truth** for the latest stable code.

---

## **2️⃣ Key Architectural Decisions & Standards**
### **🔹 MVC Structure**
- **Controllers handle business logic & pass data to views.**
- **Views are purely presentational and rendered via `View.php`.**
- **Router dispatches requests to the correct controllers dynamically.**

### **🔹 Modular UI Components**
- **Hero & Slider Sections:** Fully configurable and dynamic.
- **Header & Footer:** Conditionally included in views.
- **CSS Files:** Separated into modular stylesheets (hero.css, slider.css, main.css).

### **🔹 Logging & Debugging**
- **Logger.php** handles `DEBUG`, `INFO`, `ERROR`, `CRITICAL` logs.
- **ErrorHandler.php** ensures robust exception handling.
- **Debug logging integrated into controllers, views, and core utilities.**

### **🔹 Unit Testing Integration**
- **Controllers & Utilities** have PHPUnit test cases.
- **Views are validated for rendering correctness.**
- **Error handling is tested under various failure scenarios.**

---

## **3️⃣ Development Progress & Completed Tasks**
### ✅ **Controller Refactoring Completed**
- Migrated from **old service-based rendering** to **MVC controllers**.
- `View.php` is used for **all page rendering**.
- Controllers fully integrate logging & debugging.

### ✅ **Refactored View Structure**
- All pages now follow the **controller-based rendering approach**.
- **Services pages now reside in `/resources/views/pages/services/*.php`**.

### ✅ **Refactored `Router.php` & `index.php`**
- Router correctly dispatches **controllers instead of service classes**.
- `index.php` only loads **controller routes** (no direct service references).

### ✅ **Refactored `View.php`**
- `View::render()` is the **only method used for rendering views**.
- Logger debug tracking added to **trace view rendering issues**.

### ✅ **Development Plan Document Implemented**
- Tracks **task status, start & completion times, and progress updates**.
- Maintains **a structured changelog** for easy tracking.

## **4️⃣ Outstanding Tasks & Pending Work**
### 🚧 **Task 1: Finalize Hero & Slider Configurations** *(In Progress)*
- Ensure hero images & sliders render correctly **per-page**.
- Enable **dynamic hero/slider configurations** in controllers.
- Test **various configurations** for modular flexibility.

### 🚧 **Task 2: Expand Unit Test Coverage** *(Not Started)*
- Improve tests for **controller logic, view rendering, and UI components**.
- Validate **dynamic hero & slider loading configurations**.
- Test error handling for **missing view files, invalid routes, and exceptions**.

### 🚧 **Task 3: Refactor Additional UI Components** *(Not Started)*
- Standardize **remaining UI elements (forms, navigation, sidebar, etc.)**.
- Ensure proper **modular stylesheet loading**.

### 🚧 **Task 4: Update UI Design Document** *(Not Started)*
- Document **all recent changes** after implementing hero/slider.
- Refine UI structure documentation for **future development**.

## **5️⃣ Next Steps**
1️⃣ **Set up the new chat and upload the compressed Git repository.**
2️⃣ **Ensure all controllers, views, and router files from the repo are correctly loaded.**
3️⃣ **Continue debugging hero/slider configurations and verifying correct rendering.**
4️⃣ **Expand unit testing & finalize UI refactoring.**

This document serves as the baseline reference for continuing development in the new chat. 🚀
