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.


1 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.

2 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.

3 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.

4 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.

5 Next Steps

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

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