# CLAUDE.md This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository. ## Project Overview Digital Dabei Job Manager is a WordPress plugin providing a closed job board for "digital dabei Hamburg". External organizations (providers) self-register and manage job listings. Mentors (existing subscribers) view and apply to jobs. All jobs require admin moderation before publication. **Core principle**: Every job goes through admin approval before mentors see it. The moderation flow is the trust layer protecting mentors from spam. ## Development Environment - **Platform**: Local WP (WordPress development environment) - **WordPress**: 6.0+, PHP 7.4+ - **Required Plugins**: ACF Pro, Formidable Forms Pro, Elementor Pro - **Email**: WP Mail SMTP on production; disabled in Local WP dev environment ## Development Workflow with GSD **IMPORTANT**: Use `/gsd` commands for all code-related work in this repository. The GSD (Get Stuff Done) workflow provides: - Structured planning and execution phases - Automatic verification of changes - State management across sessions - Parallel execution when possible Common commands: - `/gsd:progress` - Check current state and next steps - `/gsd:plan-phase` - Plan implementation for a phase - `/gsd:execute-phase` - Execute all plans in a phase - `/gsd:help` - View all available GSD commands ## Architecture ### Plugin Entry Point The plugin follows WordPress singleton pattern with class-based initialization: 1. `ddhh-job-manager.php` - Main plugin file that: - Loads Action Scheduler vendor library **first** (required for async operations) - Defines constants (DDHH_JM_VERSION, DDHH_JM_PLUGIN_DIR, etc.) - Requires all class files from `includes/` - Initializes via `DDHH_JM_Job_Manager::get_instance()` on `plugins_loaded` hook 2. `includes/class-ddhh-job-manager.php` - Singleton orchestrator that initializes all subsystems via `init_hooks()` ### Core Subsystems The plugin is organized into focused class files in `includes/`: **Foundation Layer**: - `class-post-types.php` - Registers `job_offer` CPT with custom capabilities - `class-roles.php` - Manages `ddhh_provider` role with restricted capabilities - `class-acf-fields.php` - Programmatically registers ACF field groups for job metadata - `class-activator.php` / `class-deactivator.php` - Plugin lifecycle hooks **User Management**: - `class-formidable.php` - Integration layer for all Formidable Forms (registration, job submission, edit, deactivation, application). Uses form keys like 'provider_registration', 'job_submission', etc. - `class-access-control.php` - Blocks providers from WP-Admin, enforces login requirements on job archives - `class-user-preferences.php` - Manages mentor opt-in preferences for job notifications **Job Workflows**: - `class-dashboard.php` - Provides `[ddhh_provider_dashboard]` shortcode displaying provider's jobs - `class-pages.php` - Creates/manages plugin pages (dashboard, login) via option storage - `class-archive.php` - Filters job queries to show only published jobs to appropriate users - `class-template.php` - Handles single job display and contact form modal **Notifications & Async Processing**: - `class-notifications.php` - Email system triggered by WordPress hooks (`ddhh_job_submitted`, `transition_post_status`, `frm_after_create_entry`) - `class-scheduler.php` - Action Scheduler wrapper for async batch email processing (chunks of 50 users) **Admin Experience**: - `class-admin-ui.php` - Enhances admin screens with custom columns, quick links, status indicators ### Custom Roles & Capabilities **ddhh_provider role**: Restricted role for external organizations - Can create/edit/delete only their own `job_offer` posts - Cannot access WP-Admin (redirected to frontend dashboard) - Can edit their own profile (`profile.php` access allowed) **Capability mapping** (in `class-post-types.php`): - `edit_job_offer` - Owner can edit their own jobs - `delete_job_offer` - Owner can delete their own jobs - `read_job_offer` - Users can read published jobs - Standard WordPress `map_meta_cap` filter enforces ownership ### Formidable Forms Integration The plugin uses 5 Formidable forms, identified by form keys: 1. **provider_registration** (F1) - Creates user with `ddhh_provider` role, auto-login 2. **job_submission** (F2) - Creates `job_offer` post with `pending` status, maps ACF fields 3. **job_edit** (F3) - Updates existing job (ownership validated), preserves submission date 4. **job_deactivation** (F4) - Sets status to `draft`, captures deactivation reason 5. **job_application** (F5) - Mentor applies to job, emails provider contact address **Form hooks** (`class-formidable.php`): - Registration: `frm_after_create_entry` → auto-login → redirect to dashboard - Job submission: `frm_after_create_entry` → fires `ddhh_job_submitted` action → admin notification - Job edit: `frm_after_update_entry` → fires `ddhh_job_edited` action → admin notification - Application: `frm_after_create_entry` → emails provider's contact email from ACF field ### Email Notification System **Immediate notifications** (`class-notifications.php`): - Admin receives email on job submission with edit/view links - Admin receives email on job edit with change summary - Admin receives email on deactivation with reason - Provider receives email when mentor applies (via Formidable) **Async batch notifications** (`class-scheduler.php`): - Mentor notification on job publish uses Action Scheduler - Users are queried for `ddhh_jm_notification_optin` meta - Batched into groups of 50 to prevent email provider limits - Each batch scheduled as separate `ddhh_jm_send_mentor_notification_batch` action ### Access Control Layers 1. **WP-Admin lockout**: Providers redirected to dashboard unless accessing `profile.php` or AJAX 2. **Dashboard protection**: `template_redirect` hook checks user role, redirects non-providers 3. **Archive protection**: Jobs require login; only `publish` status shown to mentors 4. **Single job protection**: Login required to view job details 5. **Ownership validation**: Forms validate current user owns the job before editing/deactivation ### Template System **Frontend templates** (`templates/`): - `provider-dashboard.php` - Displays provider's jobs in table format with status badges and action links **Elementor integration**: - Job archive uses Elementor Loop Grid (no custom template file) - Job detail page uses Elementor single post template with ACF dynamic tags - Contact form modal injected via `the_content` filter in `class-template.php` ### Job Lifecycle ``` Provider submits → pending → Admin reviews → publish → Mentors see + notified ↓ Admin can reject → trash Provider deactivates → draft (with reason stored in meta) ``` **Status hooks**: - `ddhh_job_submitted` - Fired after new job metadata saved (form entry ID passed) - `ddhh_job_edited` - Fired after job update metadata saved (form entry ID passed) - `transition_post_status` - Used for publish detection and deactivation detection ### ACF Field Groups Programmatically registered in `class-acf-fields.php`: - **Job Details**: `job_location`, `job_type`, `job_deadline` (date picker), `contact_email` - **Deactivation**: `deactivation_reason`, `deactivation_date` - **Metadata**: `submission_date` (preserved during edits) All fields support German labels matching site language. ## Development Workflow ### Testing Locally Since email is disabled in Local WP, test email functionality by: 1. Checking Action Scheduler status: WP Admin → Tools → Scheduled Actions 2. Monitoring logs: `error_log()` calls throughout notification classes 3. Using a plugin like WP Mail Logging to capture emails during dev ### Working with Forms Formidable forms are managed through the Formidable UI. When referencing forms in code: - Use form keys (e.g., 'job_submission') not IDs - Form ID lookup happens via `FrmForm::getOne('form_key')` - Field IDs are stored in form configuration, not hardcoded ### Modifying Email Templates Email templates are inline in `class-notifications.php`: - Admin emails use `wp_mail()` with HTML content - Mentor notification emails use `wp_mail()` with plain text - All emails include job title, provider name, and relevant links - Date formatting: Use `get_field()` for ACF dates, format with German locale ### Adding New Notifications 1. Identify triggering event (form submission, status change, custom action) 2. Add notification method to `class-notifications.php` 3. Hook into appropriate action in `setup_hooks()` 4. For batch processing, use `DDHH_JM_Scheduler::schedule_mentor_notification_batch()` ## Common Tasks ### Debugging Action Scheduler ```bash # View scheduled actions in WP CLI wp action-scheduler list --status=pending wp action-scheduler list --status=failed # Run pending actions manually wp action-scheduler run --batch-size=10 # Clean up old actions wp action-scheduler clean --days=90 ``` ### Checking Provider Permissions Providers should NOT be able to: - Access WP-Admin (except profile.php) - Edit other providers' jobs - Publish jobs directly (must be pending) - View unpublished jobs by other providers ### Verifying Job Moderation Flow 1. Log in as provider → Submit job → Should create `pending` post 2. Admin receives email with job details and moderation links 3. Admin publishes job → Opted-in mentors receive notification (async batches) 4. Provider sees published job in dashboard 5. Mentors can view and apply to job ### Date Field Handling Job deadlines use ACF date picker: - Format conversion in Formidable forms: Slashes auto-converted to dots for display - Before submission: Dots converted back to ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD) - Display: Use `get_field('job_deadline')` returns 'Ymd', format with `date_i18n()` - Validation: Date fields are optional (empty string is valid) ### Logo Auto-Cropping Featured images (logos) auto-crop to 200×200px on upload: - Handled by `class-post-types.php` registering 'job-logo' image size - Uses WordPress `add_image_size()` with hard crop enabled - Images uploaded via Formidable forms trigger standard WP media processing ## Project State **Currently**: Phase 6 (Email Notifications) is mostly complete. Phase 7 (Testing & Polish) is next. **What's working**: - Provider registration and authentication - Job submission, editing, deactivation workflows - Admin moderation and notifications - Mentor job browsing and applications - Opt-in preferences for mentor notifications - Action Scheduler integration for async processing **What's pending**: - Phase 6.3: Async batch email processing on job publish (implementation in progress) - Phase 7: End-to-end testing and production deployment prep **Documentation**: See `.planning/` for detailed project documentation: - `PROJECT.md` - Requirements and context - `ROADMAP.md` - Phase breakdown and progress - `STATE.md` - Current work and blockers - `phases/` - Detailed plans and summaries for each phase ## Code Standards - **WordPress Coding Standards**: Follow WordPress PHP coding standards - **Text Domain**: Use `ddhh-job-manager` for all translatable strings - **German Language**: All user-facing text in German - **Security**: Validate ownership, escape output, verify nonces in forms - **Hook Naming**: Use `ddhh_jm_` prefix for custom actions/filters - **Class Naming**: Use `DDHH_JM_` prefix, one class per file - **Static Methods**: Use static methods for classes that don't maintain state - **Direct Exit**: Always include `defined( 'ABSPATH' ) || exit;` at top of PHP files ## Critical Files to Review Before Major Changes - `ddhh-job-manager.php` - Plugin initialization order matters (Action Scheduler first) - `class-ddhh-job-manager.php` - Hook registration sequence - `class-formidable.php` - Form IDs and field mappings - `class-notifications.php` - Email templates and triggering logic - `class-access-control.php` - Security boundaries for providers - `class-post-types.php` - Capability mapping for `job_offer` posts
