【AG-11】Fine-tuning the "web_content" Table / Modal Pop-up

【AG-11】Fine-tuning the "web_content" Table / Modal Pop-up

Q: I think I will test what we have now and leave the scroll down feature later. It's an interesting idea to allow for HTML in the title but just text for the content, when what I imagined was make both of them HTML because both  title and content have to stand out in case a dark background is used. After entering some sample contents to web_content, I think setting the main content to HTML is necessary for breaking down the text into paragraphs and making lists. Please provide the full php and CSS for HTML section title and content.

<>

A: Attached is how it looks for the generated section. Can we hide the list bullets as it looks ugly to have centered text (Which is good) but bullets that are far away.

<>

The updates work fine largely and HTML contents are rendered correctly. But I find a section (Position = 4, model = title-text-image, title = "2025第一次:醫道Chill輕鬆療癒Cafe") failing to render the image. 


A: I’m glad to hear the updates are largely working well and the HTML content is rendering correctly! However, I understand the issue with the section at Position 4 (model = title-text-image, title = "2025第一次:醫道Chill輕鬆療癒Cafe") where the image isn’t rendering on https://admin.nlt-chaplaincy.org/public/index.php, despite the record being correct and the image being uploaded. Let’s troubleshoot this step by step to identify why the image isn’t showing and fix it.

Step 1: Analyze the Issue

  • Context: The section uses the title-text-image model, which likely means it’s trying to display an image via the image field (not theme_img, which is used for Background/Separator).

  • Current Behavior: The image isn’t rendering, even though you’ve confirmed the image field in the web_content record has a valid uploaded file.

  • Possible Causes:

    1. The image field isn’t being output in pull-contents.php for the title-text-image model.

    2. The image path might be incorrect (e.g., wrong directory or filename).

    3. The image file might not be accessible (e.g., permissions issue, file not found).

    4. CSS might be hiding the image unintentionally.

Step 2: Check the PHP Logic

Looking at the current pull-contents.php, I notice it doesn’t handle the image field for the title-text-image model—it only processes theme_img for Background/Separator and video_embed for videos. The image field (likely used for the title-text-image model) isn’t being rendered. Let’s add logic to display the image field when the model is title-text-image.

Updated pull-contents.php

Here’s the full updated PHP with support for rendering the image field:

php

<?php
// pull-contents.php

ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

$config_path = '../config.php';
if (!file_exists($config_path)) {
    die("Error: config.php not found at $config_path");
}
require_once $config_path;

if (!isset($dbServer) || !isset($dbUsername) || !isset($dbPassword) || !isset($dbDatabase)) {
    die("Error: AppGini database variables not defined in config.php");
}

$conn = new mysqli($dbServer, $dbUsername, $dbPassword, $dbDatabase, $dbPort ?: 3306);
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}

$current_page = isset($_GET['page']) ? $_GET['page'] : 'landing';
$status = 'Show';

$sql = "SELECT section, title, content, image, video_embed, button_link, button_text, position, model, date_edited, theme_img, img_role FROM web_content WHERE page = ? AND status = ? ORDER BY position ASC, date_edited DESC";
$stmt = $conn->prepare($sql);
if (!$stmt) {
    die("Prepare failed: " . $conn->error);
}

$stmt->bind_param("ss", $current_page, $status);
$stmt->execute();
$result = $stmt->get_result();

$sections = [];
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
    while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
        $pos = $row['position'];
        if (!isset($sections[$pos]) || $row['date_edited'] > $sections[$pos]['date_edited']) {
            $sections[$pos] = $row;
        }
    }
}

if (!empty($sections)) {
    ksort($sections);
    $current_index = 0;

    foreach ($sections as $position => $row) {
        $current_index++;
        if ($position < 1 || $position > 10) {
            continue;
        }

        $has_image = !empty($row['theme_img']);
        $img_role = trim($row['img_role'] ?? 'Background');

        $background_style = ($has_image && $img_role === 'Background') ? " style=\"background-image: url('../images/" . htmlspecialchars($row['theme_img']) . "');\"" : '';

        echo "<div class=\"content__entry\"$background_style>";
        echo "<h1 class=\"align-center\">" . $row['title'] . "</h1>";
        echo "<div class=\"generic-content align-center\">" . $row['content'] . "</div>";

        // Render image for title-text-image model
        if ($row['model'] === 'title-text-image' && !empty($row['image'])) {
            $image_url = '../images/' . htmlspecialchars($row['image']);
            echo "<div class=\"content-image\"><img src=\"$image_url\" alt=\"Section Image\" class=\"welcome-image\"></div>";
        }

        if ($row['video_embed']) {
            $clean_embed = preg_replace('/sandbox(="[^"]*"|)/', '', $row['video_embed']);
            echo '<div class="video-embed">' . $clean_embed . '</div>';
        }
        if (!empty($row['button_text'])) {
            echo '<div class="content__buttons"><a class="myButton" href="' . htmlspecialchars($row['button_link'] ?: '#') . '">' . htmlspecialchars($row['button_text']) . '</a></div>';
        }
        echo "</div>";

        if ($has_image && $img_role === 'Separator') {
            $image_url = '../images/' . htmlspecialchars($row['theme_img']);
            echo "<div class=\"separator\"><img src=\"$image_url\" alt=\"Section Separator\" class=\"separator-image\"></div>";
        }
    }
} else {
    echo "No sections found.";
}

$stmt->close();
$conn->close();
?>

Changes

  • Image Rendering: Added a check for model === 'title-text-image' and !empty($row['image']). If true, it outputs the image in a

    using the .welcome-image class (already styled in CSS).

  • Path: Assumes the image field stores the filename (e.g., image.jpg), and images are in the ../images/ directory, matching your setup for theme_img.

Step 3: Verify CSS

The CSS already has .welcome-image styling, which should work for this image. Let’s confirm and make any necessary adjustments:

css

.welcome-image {
    max-width: 100%;
    height: auto;
    margin: 1em auto;
    display: block;
}

/* Add styling for the image container */
.content-image {
    text-align: center;
    margin: 1em 0;
}

This ensures the image is centered and has proper spacing, consistent with your design.

Step 4: Troubleshooting Checklist

If the image still doesn’t render after applying the PHP update:

  1. Verify Image Path:

  2. File Permissions:

    • Ensure the image file is readable (e.g., permissions set to 644, owned by the web server user).
  3. Inspect HTML:

    • View the page source or inspect the element at Position 4—check if the tag is output with the correct src.

    • Look for 404 errors in the browser’s Network tab.

  4. AppGini Upload:

    • AppGini typically stores uploaded files in a specific directory (e.g., images/ or a custom path). If your image field is an AppGini upload field, the path might be different (e.g., ../images/web_content-image/). Check AppGini’s field settings for image to confirm the upload path.

Step 5: Adjust Image Path (If Needed)

If AppGini stores uploaded images in a subdirectory (e.g., ../images/web_content-image/), update the path in the PHP:

php

$image_url = '../images/web_content-image/' . htmlspecialchars($row['image']);

You can find the exact path in AppGini under the image field settings (look for “Upload Path” or similar).

Testing

At https://admin.nlt-chaplaincy.org/public/index.php:

  1. Reload the page and check Position 4.

  2. Confirm the image for "2025第一次:醫道Chill輕鬆療癒Cafe" appears.

  3. If it doesn’t, inspect the HTML and Network tab to see if the tag is there and if the src URL loads.

Notes

  • Path Confirmation: If the image still doesn’t show, let me know the exact value of the image field (e.g., cafe.jpg) and where the file is physically stored on the server—I can help adjust the path.

  • Other Sections: The change only affects title-text-image models, so other sections (e.g., with Background/Separator) should remain unchanged.

Let me know if the image appears after this update! If not, we’ll dig deeper into the path or permissions. Everything else looking good?

Original Chat


Q: Great! Everything looks good! I've just received a story from the pastor, which I've attached as an image. I plan to quote a sentence from the text and link a button to a full-story page that will be created later.However, I want to check if it's possible to display the full-story page in a modal window or pop-up. I believe that chaplaincy readers can vary greatly in their educational backgrounds. For those who may find reading challenging, having a detail page pop up from the landing page would be easier. This way, they won’t have to navigate away from the page, which could disrupt their flow and cause confusion.

To clarify a bit, I want to reuse the existing fields in web_content and make all buttons default to a modal window. For example, when the button link is "full-story-marie.php", this page will be shown inside a modal window. This page will be dynamically generated like the home page. What we do is just to wrap it inside a pop-up.


A: Got it—since you’re okay without the placeholder full-story-marie.php, we’ll focus on setting up the modal functionality using the existing web_content table fields and ensure all buttons open their linked pages in a modal window. The linked pages (e.g., full-story-marie.php) will be dynamically generated later, and we’ll wrap their content in a pop-up on the landing page (https://admin.nlt-chaplaincy.org/public/index.php). This approach keeps users on the landing page, enhancing accessibility and flow for readers who might find navigation challenging.

Let’s finalize the implementation by ensuring the modal works with any button_link value, fetching the content dynamically and displaying it in a pop-up.

Step 1: Recap of the Setup

  • Fields Used: We’ll use title, content, button_text, and button_link from the web_content table.

  • Example Section:

    • title: “A Message from Our Pastor”

    • content: A quoted sentence, e.g., “

      ‘你嘅存在係一個奇蹟,你嘅人生係一個禮物…’

    • button_text: “Read the Full Story”

    • button_link: full-story-marie.php (or any dynamically generated page URL)

  • Goal: When the button is clicked, fetch the content of full-story-marie.php and display it in a modal without navigating away from the landing page.

Step 2: Ensure pull-contents.php Supports Modal Triggers

The pull-contents.php from the previous update already sets up buttons as modal triggers with the modal-trigger class and data-modal-link attribute. It also includes the modal container. Let’s confirm it’s correct and make any necessary adjustments for clarity:

php

<?php
// pull-contents.php

ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

$config_path = '../config.php';
if (!file_exists($config_path)) {
    die("Error: config.php not found at $config_path");
}
require_once $config_path;

if (!isset($dbServer) || !isset($dbUsername) || !isset($dbPassword) || !isset($dbDatabase)) {
    die("Error: AppGini database variables not defined in config.php");
}

$conn = new mysqli($dbServer, $dbUsername, $dbPassword, $dbDatabase, $dbPort ?: 3306);
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}

$current_page = isset($_GET['page']) ? $_GET['page'] : 'landing';
$status = 'Show';

$sql = "SELECT section, title, content, image, video_embed, button_link, button_text, position, model, date_edited, theme_img, img_role FROM web_content WHERE page = ? AND status = ? ORDER BY position ASC, date_edited DESC";
$stmt = $conn->prepare($sql);
if (!$stmt) {
    die("Prepare failed: " . $conn->error);
}

$stmt->bind_param("ss", $current_page, $status);
$stmt->execute();
$result = $stmt->get_result();

$sections = [];
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
    while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
        $pos = $row['position'];
        if (!isset($sections[$pos]) || $row['date_edited'] > $sections[$pos]['date_edited']) {
            $sections[$pos] = $row;
        }
    }
}

if (!empty($sections)) {
    ksort($sections);
    $current_index = 0;

    foreach ($sections as $position => $row) {
        $current_index++;
        if ($position < 1 || $position > 10) {
            continue;
        }

        $has_image = !empty($row['theme_img']);
        $img_role = trim($row['img_role'] ?? 'Background');

        $background_style = ($has_image && $img_role === 'Background') ? " style=\"background-image: url('../images/" . htmlspecialchars($row['theme_img']) . "');\"" : '';

        echo "<div class=\"content__entry\"$background_style>";
        echo "<h1 class=\"align-center\">" . $row['title'] . "</h1>";
        echo "<div class=\"generic-content align-center\">" . $row['content'] . "</div>";

        if ($row['model'] === 'title-text-image' && !empty($row['image'])) {
            $image_url = '../images/' . htmlspecialchars($row['image']);
            echo "<div class=\"content-image\"><img src=\"$image_url\" alt=\"Section Image\" class=\"welcome-image\"></div>";
        }

        if ($row['video_embed']) {
            $clean_embed = preg_replace('/sandbox(="[^"]*"|)/', '', $row['video_embed']);
            echo '<div class="video-embed">' . $clean_embed . '</div>';
        }

        if (!empty($row['button_text'])) {
            $button_link = htmlspecialchars($row['button_link'] ?: '#');
            $button_text = htmlspecialchars($row['button_text']);
            echo "<div class=\"content__buttons\">";
            echo "<a class=\"myButton modal-trigger\" href=\"#\" data-modal-link=\"$button_link\">$button_text</a>";
            echo "</div>";
        }

        echo "</div>";

        if ($has_image && $img_role === 'Separator') {
            $image_url = '../images/' . htmlspecialchars($row['theme_img']);
            echo "<div class=\"separator\"><img src=\"$image_url\" alt=\"Section Separator\" class=\"separator-image\"></div>";
        }
    }
} else {
    echo "No sections found.";
}

// Add modal container at the bottom of the page
echo '<div id="story-modal" class="modal">';
echo '<div class="modal-content">';
echo '<span class="modal-close">&times;</span>';
echo '<div id="modal-body"></div>';
echo '</div>';
echo '</div>';

$stmt->close();
$conn->close();
?>
  • Confirmation: The PHP is set up to add the modal-trigger class and data-modal-link attribute to all buttons, and it includes the modal container. No changes are needed here.

Step 3: Ensure Modal CSS and JavaScript Are Included

The modal CSS and JavaScript from the previous update should already be in place, but let’s confirm and make slight improvements for accessibility and robustness.

Modal CSS (Append to Existing CSS)

css

/* Modal Styles */
.modal {
    display: none;
    position: fixed;
    z-index: 1000;
    left: 0;
    top: 0;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    overflow: auto;
    background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
}

.modal-content {
    background-color: #fff;
    margin: 5% auto;
    padding: 20px;
    border: 1px solid #888;
    width: 80%;
    max-width: 800px;
    position: relative;
    border-radius: 8px;
    box-shadow: 0 4px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
}

.modal-close {
    color: #aaa;
    position: absolute;
    top: 10px;
    right: 20px;
    font-size: 28px;
    font-weight: bold;
    cursor: pointer;
    transition: color 0.3s ease;
}

.modal-close:hover,
.modal-close:focus {
    color: #000;
    text-decoration: none;
}

#modal-body {
    font-size: 1em;
    line-height: 1.6;
    color: #333;
}

#modal-body h1 {
    font-size: 1.5em;
    margin-bottom: 0.5em;
}

#modal-body p {
    margin-bottom: 1em;
}

/* Accessibility improvements */
.modal[aria-hidden="false"] {
    display: block;
}

.modal-close:focus {
    outline: 2px solid #44c767;
    outline-offset: 2px;
}

Modal JavaScript (Append to pull-contents.php or Include in a Separate File)

php

<script>
// Modal functionality
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
    const modal = document.getElementById('story-modal');
    const modalBody = document.getElementById('modal-body');
    const closeBtn = document.querySelector('.modal-close');
    const triggers = document.querySelectorAll('.modal-trigger');

    // Function to open the modal
    function openModal(content) {
        modalBody.innerHTML = content;
        modal.style.display = 'block';
        modal.setAttribute('aria-hidden', 'false');
        closeBtn.focus(); // Accessibility: focus on close button
    }

    // Function to close the modal
    function closeModal() {
        modal.style.display = 'none';
        modal.setAttribute('aria-hidden', 'true');
        modalBody.innerHTML = '';
    }

    // Open modal when a trigger button is clicked
    triggers.forEach(trigger => {
        trigger.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
            e.preventDefault();
            const link = this.getAttribute('data-modal-link');

            // Show loading message
            openModal('<p>Loading...</p>');

            // Fetch the content of the linked page
            fetch(link)
                .then(response => {
                    if (!response.ok) {
                        throw new Error('Network response was not ok');
                    }
                    return response.text();
                })
                .then(data => {
                    // Extract the body content from the fetched page
                    const parser = new DOMParser();
                    const doc = parser.parseFromString(data, 'text/html');
                    const content = doc.querySelector('body') ? doc.querySelector('body').innerHTML : data;
                    openModal(content);
                })
                .catch(error => {
                    console.error('Error fetching content:', error);
                    openModal('<p>Sorry, the content could not be loaded. Please try again later.</p>');
                });
        });
    });

    // Close modal when the close button is clicked
    closeBtn.addEventListener('click', closeModal);

    // Close modal when clicking outside the modal content
    window.addEventListener('click', function(event) {
        if (event.target === modal) {
            closeModal();
        }
    });

    // Close modal with Escape key
    document.addEventListener('keydown', function(event) {
        if (event.key === 'Escape' && modal.style.display === 'block') {
            closeModal();
        }
    });
});
</script>

Improvements

  • Accessibility:

    • Added aria-hidden attributes to the modal for screen readers.

    • Focused the close button when the modal opens for keyboard navigation.

    • Added focus styles for the close button.

  • Error Handling:

    • Added a loading message while fetching content.

    • Improved error handling with a user-friendly message if the fetch fails.

  • Styling:

    • Added a subtle box shadow to the modal for better visual hierarchy.

Step 4: Add the Story Teaser in AppGini

In AppGini, add a new record to web_content:

  • page: landing

  • position: 5 (or wherever you want it to appear)

  • status: Show

  • model: title-text

  • title:

    A Message from Our Pastor

  • content:

    "你嘅存在係一個奇蹟,你嘅人生係一個禮物…" – A heartfelt story of hope and encouragement.

  • button_text: Read the Full Story

  • button_link: full-story-marie.php

  • img_role: No Image

Step 5: Testing

At https://admin.nlt-chaplaincy.org/public/index.php:

  1. Check the Teaser: Ensure the new section appears with the quoted sentence and button.

  2. Click the Button: Since full-story-marie.php doesn’t exist yet, you should see the error message “Sorry, the content could not be loaded. Please try again later.” in the modal.

  3. Modal Behavior:

    • Confirm the modal opens and closes correctly (via close button, clicking outside, or Escape key).

    • Test accessibility: use Tab to navigate to the close button and press Enter to close.

  4. Future Test: Once full-story-marie.php is created, clicking the button should load its content into the modal.

Step 6: Notes for full-story-marie.php

When you create full-story-marie.php, it can follow a similar structure to pull-contents.php, pulling content from the web_content table (or a new table for stories). For example:

php

<?php
// full-story-marie.php
// Placeholder for dynamic content
?>
<h1>造一抹綠彩來村出</h1>
<p>幾年前的一個下午,一位焦急的母親抱著患上發高燒的孩子直奔來我的醫院診所多學多樂的咖啡店...</p>
<!-- Add the full story content here -->

The JavaScript will fetch this content and display it in the modal.

Accessibility Considerations

  • Keyboard Navigation: The modal is keyboard-accessible with Tab and Escape.

  • Screen Readers: aria-hidden ensures screen readers handle the modal correctly.

  • Contrast: The modal’s dark overlay and white background ensure good readability.

Next Steps

  • Add the teaser section in AppGini as described.

  • Test the modal functionality on the landing page.

  • Let me know if the modal works as expected or if you need adjustments (e.g., styling, behavior).

  • Once full-story-marie.php is ready, we can test the full flow.

How does this look? Ready to test the modal, or do you want to tweak anything first?


<<Iterations of bug-fixes on the modal, including: Content overflown outside of the modal, missing close-window icon, close-window icon overflowing outside of the empty modal, failing to show linked page inside the modal, no images and videos are shown inside the modal.>>

Q: By inspecting the source code of index-demo, I think the issue is Publii generates this page with reference to the internal media, rather than those generated by our php to load image from ../images. That means we must test with a real page like index.php to see what truly will show. If so, can you:

  1. Tell me how to make a quick donation.php by loading a sample section from web_content for testing
  2. Reverse any irrelevant changes to our php and CSS (No absolute path for images)

A: Thank you for the update! I understand that the issue with index-demo.html not displaying images in the modal on https://admin.nlt-chaplaincy.org/public/index.php stems from Publii generating the page with references to internal media, rather than using the ../images/ path that your PHP-generated pages (like index.php) use. This makes sense—Publii likely uses a different media management system, which doesn’t align with the relative path structure (../images/) that your AppGini-generated pages rely on. As a result, the JavaScript in pull-contents.php isn’t resolving the image paths correctly for Publii-generated content.

You’re absolutely right that testing with a “real” page like index.php (or a new page like donation.php) that follows your AppGini structure will give us a more accurate representation of how the modal will behave with your actual content. Let’s proceed with your requests:

  1. Create a quick donation.php page by loading a sample section from the web_content table for testing.

  2. Reverse irrelevant changes to our PHP and CSS, specifically removing the absolute path conversion for images, since your AppGini-generated pages already work with relative paths (../images/).


Step 1: Create a Quick donation.php Page

We’ll create a donation.php page that mimics the structure of index.php by loading a sample section from the web_content table. This will ensure the page uses the same relative image paths (../images/) and content structure as your other AppGini-generated pages.

Step 1.1: Create donation.php

Create a new file named donation.php in the /public/ directory (same directory as index.php). This page will connect to the database, fetch a sample section from the web_content table, and display it in a similar structure to index.php.

php

<?php
// donation.php

ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

// Load the database configuration
$config_path = '../config.php';
if (!file_exists($config_path)) {
    die("Error: config.php not found at $config_path");
}
require_once $config_path;

if (!isset($dbServer) || !isset($dbUsername) || !isset($dbPassword) || !isset($dbDatabase)) {
    die("Error: AppGini database variables not defined in config.php");
}

// Connect to the database
$conn = new mysqli($dbServer, $dbUsername, $dbPassword, $dbDatabase, $dbPort ?: 3306);
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}

// Fetch a sample section from web_content (e.g., position 1, page 'landing', status 'Show')
$current_page = 'landing'; // You can change this to a different page if needed
$status = 'Show';
$position = 1; // Sample section (you can change this to another position)

$sql = "SELECT section, title, content, image, video_embed, button_link, button_text, position, model, date_edited, theme_img, img_role 
        FROM web_content 
        WHERE page = ? AND status = ? AND position = ? 
        ORDER BY date_edited DESC 
        LIMIT 1";
$stmt = $conn->prepare($sql);
if (!$stmt) {
    die("Prepare failed: " . $conn->error);
}

$stmt->bind_param("ssi", $current_page, $status, $position);
$stmt->execute();
$result = $stmt->get_result();

if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
    $row = $result->fetch_assoc();

    // Start outputting the HTML
    ?>
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html lang="en">
    <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-8">

                </div>
            <?php endif; ?>

            <?php if ($row['video_embed']): ?>
                <div class="video-embed">

                <div class="content__buttons">
                    <a class="myButton" href="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($row['button_link'] ?: '#'); ?>">
                        <?php echo htmlspecialchars($row['button_text']); ?>
                    </a>
                </div>
            <?php endif; ?>
        </div>

        <?php if (!empty($row['theme_img']) && $row['img_role'] === 'Separator'): ?>
            <div class="separator">
                <img src="../images/<?php echo htmlspecialchars($row['theme_img']); ?>" alt="Section Separator" class="separator-image">
            </div>
        <?php endif; ?>
    </body>
    </html>
    <?php
} else {

$conn->close();

Explanation

  • Database Query: The page fetches a single section from the web_content table (e.g., position = 1, page = 'landing', status = 'Show'). You can change the position or page to load a different section.

  • Image Paths: Images are loaded using ../images/, matching the structure of index.php.

  • Structure: The HTML structure mirrors index.php, with a content__entry div, image, video embed, and button.

  • CSS: The page assumes a styles.css file for styling. You can link to the same CSS file used by index.php (adjust the path as needed).

Step 1.2: Update web_content to Link to donation.php

In AppGini, update a section to link to donation.php so we can test it in the modal:

  • page: landing

  • position: (e.g., 3)

  • status: Show

  • model: title-text

  • title:

    Test Donation Page

  • content:

    Testing the donation page in the modal...

  • button_text: Open Donation Page

  • button_link: donation.php

  • img_role: No Image

Step 1.3: Test donation.php Directly

  1. Visit https://admin.nlt-chaplaincy.org/public/donation.php directly in your browser.

  2. Confirm that the page loads, displays the section content, and shows any images (e.g., from ../images/) correctly.

Step 1.4: Test in the Modal

  1. Visit https://admin.nlt-chaplaincy.org/public/index.php.

  2. Click the button linking to donation.php.

  3. The modal should open and display the content from donation.php, including images and videos (if present).

Step 2: Reverse Irrelevant Changes

Since index-demo.html was a Publii-generated page with a different image path structure, and your AppGini-generated pages (like index.php and donation.php) already work with relative paths (../images/), we can remove the JavaScript logic that converts image paths to absolute URLs. This logic was added to handle index-demo.html’s paths but isn’t needed for your AppGini pages.

Step 2.1: Update pull-contents.php

Remove the path resolution logic from the JavaScript, keeping the rest of the functionality intact.

// pull-contents.php

ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);

Changes

  • Removed Path Resolution: Removed the JavaScript logic that resolves relative image paths to absolute URLs, since your AppGini-generated pages already use ../images/ correctly.

  • Kept Micromodal.js: Kept the Micromodal.js implementation, as it simplifies the modal handling and improves accessibility.

  • Removed Debugging Logs: Removed the debugging logs we added earlier, since they’re no longer needed.

Step 2.2: Update the CSS

The CSS doesn’t need changes related to absolute paths, as it never modified image paths. The current CSS already supports the ../images/ structure and Micromodal.js. Here’s the full CSS for reference, ensuring no irrelevant changes remain:

Changes

  • No Path Changes: The CSS never modified image paths, so no changes are needed here. It already supports the ../images/ structure used by your AppGini pages.

  • Kept Micromodal.js Styles: The CSS retains the Micromodal.js styles for the modal.

Step 3: Test the Updated Setup

  1. Ensure Micromodal.js Is Included:

    • In index.php, ensure the Micromodal.js script is included:

      html

      <script src="https://unpkg.com/micromodal@0.4.10/dist/micromodal.min.js"></script>
    • Add this to the or at the bottom of the page, if not already present.

  2. Test donation.php in the Modal:

    • Visit https://admin.nlt-chaplaincy.org/public/index.php.

    • Click the button linking to donation.php.

    • The modal should open and display the content from donation.php, including:

      • The title and content.

      • Any images (e.g., Section Image).

      • Any video embeds (e.g., YouTube iframes in a .video-embed container).

  3. Verify Image Display:

    • Since donation.php uses the same ../images/ paths as index.php, the images should load correctly in the modal without any path resolution.

    • Open the browser’s developer tools (F12), go to the Elements tab, and inspect the tags in #modal-body. They should have src attributes like ../images/..., which should resolve correctly to https://admin.nlt-chaplaincy.org/images/....

  4. Check Network Requests:

Step 4: Why Images Worked in index.php but Not index-demo.html

  • AppGini Pages (index.php, donation.php): These pages use ../images/ paths, which resolve correctly in the modal because both index.php and the fetched page (donation.php) are in the same directory (/public/). The browser resolves ../images/ relative to /public/, which correctly points to /images/.

  • Publii Page (index-demo.html): Publii likely used a different media path (e.g., /media/... or an internal reference), which didn’t resolve correctly in the modal context. Since we’re now testing with donation.php, which follows the AppGini structure, this issue should be resolved.

Step 5: If Issues Persist

If images or videos still don’t load in the modal:

  • Check the src Attribute: Inspect the tags in the modal to ensure the src is ../images/... and resolves correctly.

  • Network Errors: Look for 404 errors in the Network tab, which would indicate the image file is missing or the path is incorrect.

  • Video Embeds: If videos don’t load, check for iframe errors in the Console (e.g., “Refused to display in a frame”).

  • Share Details: If there are issues, let me know what the or
