【AG-28】Chaplaincy Admin CMS Content Overflow / Google Font / Modal Content Display / Header Gap Issues

【AG-28】Chaplaincy Admin CMS Content Overflow / Google Font / Modal Content Display / Header Gap Issues

Q: By removing the include line from the page and move it to Settings > Tools & Plugins > Custom HTML > Before every page, dynamic contents are restored, using pull-contents.php V1.6. The only thing now is, as you see from the attachment (Note that it's not for image generation), the content area is overflowing onto the sidebar on PC but not mobile, as annotated by the red arrow. By crossing out "width: 100vw;" from .section-hero--full, the problem is solved without affecting the mobile view as well. Can you advise how to fix this on the custom.css source?

Image description


A: I’m glad the dynamic content was restored by moving the <?php include 'pull-contents.php'; ?> to Settings > Tools & Plugins > Custom HTML > Before every page using pull-contents.php V1.6!

The overflow issue you’ve described—where the content area spills into the sidebar on PC but not mobile, as annotated with the red arrow, and resolved by crossing out width: 100vw; in .section-hero--full (green arrow)—confirms the viewport width is the culprit on desktop layouts with sidebars. Since this fix worked without affecting mobile, we can replicate it in custom.css to override the theme’s style selectively.

The problem arises because width: 100vw; sets .section-hero--full to the full viewport width, including the sidebar’s space on desktop, causing it to overflow the intended content area. On mobile, where the sidebar is likely hidden, it fits correctly. We’ll use a media query to limit this on desktop while preserving the full-width effect on mobile.

Updated custom.css Fix

Add or modify the following in your custom.css within Publii’s Site Settings > Advanced > Custom CSS:

Explanation

  • Desktop Fix: The .section-hero--full rule resets width to auto, removes left: 50% and transform: translateX(-50%), and sets margin: 0 auto with max-width: 1200px to constrain it within the content area, preventing sidebar overflow.
  • Mobile Preservation: The @media (max-width: 768px) media query restores width: 100vw with centering to maintain the full-width effect on mobile, matching your observation that it works fine there.
  • Consistency: max-width: 1200px aligns with .section-hero__content and .content__entry to ensure a uniform layout.

Testing Instructions

  1. Update CSS:
    • Replace the existing custom.css with the version above in Publii’s Site Settings > Advanced > Custom CSS.
  2. Regenerate Site:
    • Regenerate the site in Publii to apply the changes.
  3. Check Display:
    • Load the page on a PC and confirm the content stays within the main area, not overlapping the sidebar.
    • Test on mobile to ensure the full-width layout remains unaffected.
  4. Adjust if Needed:
    • If the content still overflows on desktop, increase max-width (e.g., to 1400px) or add overflow-x: hidden; to .section-hero--full. If mobile breaks, adjust the 768px breakpoint.

This should resolve the overflow issue while preserving your mobile design. Let me know the results or if further adjustments are required!


Q: Next, I want to change the default font of the website to one Google font “LXGW WenKai TC”.

Google Font advises to add the following to the head section of website pages:

<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com">
<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com" crossorigin>
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=LXGW+WenKai+TC&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">

I think I can add it in Publii like the include script. To "call" the font inside web pages, Google advises to use:

.lxgw-wenkai-tc-regular {
  font-family: "LXGW WenKai TC", cursive;
  font-weight: 400;
  font-style: normal;
}

However, since I already have many classes defined in my custom.css, how should I adapt this to my website?


While the update works and I see change in the site appearance, the font displayed is clearly not "LXGW WenKai TC" but a standard serif font from Windows. Do I need to download the font file to the server or what? This is my first time to use a web font so I'm not sure whether it takes more than just updating the head section and CSS.


It worked!! But I find the heading of each block is still showing the default font. By disabling "font-family: var(--heading-font);" of h1 to h6 in the Inspect window, the font becomes the Google one. How can we make the header tags also using the Google font? I also want to leave a taller margin between the block heading and the main text.


A: I’m thrilled to hear it worked! Since the headings (e.g., <h1> to <h6>) are still showing the default font due to the theme’s font-family: var(--heading-font);, and disabling it in the Inspect window switches them to "LXGW WenKai TC", we can override this CSS variable in your custom.css. Additionally, increasing the margin between the block heading and main text is a simple adjustment to enhance readability. Let’s tackle both changes.

Why This Happens

  • The theme uses a CSS custom property (--heading-font) to define the font for headings, likely set in its core style.css or variables.css. Your current custom.css applies "LXGW WenKai TC" to body and specific classes but doesn’t override this variable, so headings retain the theme’s default.
  • The margin between headings and text can be adjusted by modifying the margin-bottom of heading tags.

Updated custom.css

Here’s the revised custom.css to enforce "LXGW WenKai TC" for headings and increase the margin:

Explanation

  • Heading Font Override: Added h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 with font-family: "LXGW WenKai TC", "Times New Roman", serif !important; to override the theme’s --heading-font variable. The !important ensures it takes precedence over theme styles.
  • Increased Margin: Changed margin-bottom from 1em to 1.5em for h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 and .content__entry h1 to create a taller gap between headings and text. Adjust to 2em if you want even more space.
  • Consistency: Ensured all relevant elements (e.g., .content__entry h1, #modal-body h1) inherit the same font and margin settings.

Testing Instructions

  1. Update CSS:
    • Replace your custom.css with the version above in Site Settings > Advanced > Custom CSS.
  2. Regenerate Site:
    • Regenerate the site in Publii.
  3. Check Display:
    • Load the page and verify that headings (e.g., .content__entry h1) use "LXGW WenKai TC" instead of the default font.
    • Check the spacing between headings and the following text to ensure it’s taller (e.g., 1.5em).
  4. Adjust if Needed:
    • If headings still use the default font, inspect the element (F12 > Elements) to confirm --heading-font is overridden. Add more specificity (e.g., .section-hero--full h1) if required.
    • Increase margin-bottom (e.g., to 2em) if the gap isn’t tall enough.

This should align all headings with "LXGW WenKai TC" and improve the layout spacing. Let me know how it looks or if further tweaks are needed!

Original Chat


Q: Another issue is I remember we've discussed that when a "stories" section (i.e. The "page" field is entered "stories") is being displayed inside a modal window, the full content of the "content" field should be shown. But when the same section is displayed directly (Say via "https://www.nlt-chaplaincy.org/stories.php"), only the beginning of the "content" field should be displayed (We have defined the exact number of words).

Now, the situation is no matter where the section get displayed, the content gets shorten anyway. Can you take a look at our past chats about Chaplaincy Admin and redo the fix?

We've also discussed to have all images uploaded using the "image" field to have rounded angles and light shadow. Can you take a look at our past chats about Chaplaincy Admin and redo the fix?Below is the source code for our "custom.css" applied via Publii for your inspection:


Thanks for the fixes. I've applied V2.3 and the new CSS and re-generated the site. While image style now looks good as before, the conditional truncation is still now working. The stories section contents are still shorten inside the modal window even on a fresh browser with no caching issue. Below is the php from April 13 to help you check what was working before:


Thanks for the updated code. BEFORE applying that, I just want to share that we have actually discussed to hide the button when any section (not just "stories" sections) is displayed inside a modal window. The weird behavior of zero modal trigger PLUS truncated content might suggest that the php was unable to detect that the stories sections were NOT in a modal, and thus the contents were shorten and the buttons were missing.


V2.6 is still having stories contents truncated, but direct access of stories.php is not affected. Yes, let's handle the display order issue till later. There is one thing I want to add: When the "stories" sections are displayed inside a modal from direct access of stories.php, the images appear before the text content, this is expected as we've agreed in our past discussions. However, when the same sections are loaded inside a modal from index.php, the truncated texts come before the images, which is unexpected. The correct behaviour should be image shown first + full text + no button when any section is shown inside a modal.I see that when the direct-accessed page is the same as the button link ("stories.php"), the behaviour is correct. But when the direct-accessed page is NOT the same as the button link (Showing "stories.php" from "index.php"), the behaviour becomes weird.


This version looks better. Direct access of "stories.php" is working perfectly. The modal called from "index.php" is showing TWO copies of each "stories" sections —— one truncated (no debug message) followed by a full-content one (With debug messages "Debug: Modal content length: 692 characters" and "Debug: Modal content length: 1125 characters"). Content display orders are correct for all four instances.


A: Thank you for the update and detailed feedback on Version 2.7 of pull-content.php. I’m thrilled to hear that direct access to stories.php is working perfectly, with truncated content, buttons, and correct modal behavior (full content, image before text, no buttons). However, the issue with the data-modal-link="stories.php" modal from index.php showing two copies of each stories section—one truncated without debug messages and one full with debug messages—is unexpected and needs to be addressed. The correct content display order (title, image, text) in all instances is a great sign, but the duplication indicates a rendering or JavaScript processing issue.

Since you’ve confirmed the Publii display order issue can be handled later, I’ll focus on fixing the duplication in the data-modal-link modal while ensuring all other functionality remains intact. I’ll also reference our April 15, 2025, discussions and the April 13 code (pull-contents_250413.php) to ensure alignment with the agreed behavior: full content, image before text, no buttons in modals.

Current Situation Recap

Working as Expected:

  • Direct Access to stories.php:
    • Both stories sections show truncated content (60 characters with “…”).
    • Buttons with data-modal-id are rendered.
    • Clicking a button opens a modal with full content (~692 and ~1125 characters, per your debug logs), image before text, and no buttons.
  • Content Order: All modals (both data-modal-id from stories.php and data-modal-link from index.php) correctly display title, image, then text.

Unexpected Behavior:

  • Modal from index.php (data-modal-link="stories.php"):
    • Shows two copies of each stories section:
    • First copy: Truncated content (60 characters), no debug messages.
    • Second copy: Full content (~692/1125 characters), with debug messages (Debug: Modal content length: ...).
    • Expected: Only one copy of each section with full content, image before text, no buttons.
  • Publii Issue: Content pushed to the bottom on stories.php (deferred).

Debug Log Insights:

  • The debug messages (Debug: Modal content length: 692 characters and 1125 characters) align with the expected full content lengths for the two stories sections, confirming the database contains the correct data.
  • The absence of debug messages in the truncated copies suggests they come from the standard page rendering (not the modal-specific rendering with .modal-story-content).

Issue Analysis

Duplication in data-modal-link Modal

  • Problem: The data-modal-link="stories.php" modal from index.php shows each stories section twice: a truncated version (from .section-hero__content) and a full version (from .modal-story-content).
  • Cause: In Version 2.7, the PHP renders both standard page content (truncated for stories.php when !$is_modal_request) and modal-specific content (full content in .modal-story-content when $is_modal_request). The JavaScript openModal function fetches both .section-hero__content and .modal-story-content selectors, causing duplication. The truncated copy lacks debug messages because it’s from the page rendering block, while the full copy includes debug messages from the modal-specific block.
  • April 13 Reference: The April 13 code avoided duplication by rendering only .section-hero__content with full content for all contexts, relying on JavaScript to clean up buttons. It didn’t use .modal-story-content or $is_stories_page, so modals fetched a single instance of each section.
  • April 15 Agreement: We introduced data-modal-id for stories modals with image-before-text ordering and agreed modals should show full content without buttons. The data-modal-link logic should mirror this but is fetching both rendering types.

Why It’s Happening

  • The PHP in Version 2.7 renders:
    • For direct stories.php loads ($is_modal_request = false): Truncated content in .section-hero__content, plus hidden .modal-story-content divs for data-modal-id modals.
    • For AJAX fetches ($is_modal_request = true): Full content in .modal-story-content for each section.
  • The JavaScript openModal for data-modal-link selects both .section-hero__content (from direct rendering, truncated) and .modal-story-content (from modal rendering, full), appending both to the modal.
  • The duplication occurs because the fetched stories.php includes both the truncated page content and the full modal content, and the JavaScript doesn’t filter out the former.

Fix Strategy

  1. Prevent Duplication:
    • Modify the PHP to output only .modal-story-content with full content for $is_modal_request, skipping the standard .section-hero__content rendering.
    • Update the JavaScript to prioritize .modal-story-content over .section-hero__content for data-modal-link fetches.
  2. Maintain Correct Order: Ensure the modal rendering (title, image, text) is consistent for both data-modal-id and data-modal-link modals, as already working.
  3. Preserve stories.php Behavior: Keep truncation, buttons, and data-modal-id modal functionality on direct stories.php loads.
  4. Publii Issue: Defer per your request, with guidance provided below.

Changes in Version 2.8

  • PHP Rendering:
    • For $is_modal_request, output only .modal-story-content with full content, image before text, and no buttons, skipping .section-hero__content to avoid truncation.
    • For direct page loads (!$is_modal_request), maintain standard rendering (truncated content for stories, buttons, and .modal-story-content divs for data-modal-id).
    • Moved modal container (<div id="story-modal">) to !$is_modal_request to avoid duplicate modal markup in AJAX responses.
  • JavaScript:
    • Updated openModal to prioritize .modal-story-content for both data-modal-id and data-modal-link, falling back to .section-hero__content with reordering (title, image, content) if needed.
    • Modified data-modal-link fetch to select only .modal-story-content, ignoring .section-hero__content to prevent duplication.
  • Debug Logs: Retained all logs, including content length and modal trigger rendering, to verify the fix.
  • Button Hiding: Ensured buttons are excluded in PHP (!$is_modal_request) and JavaScript (.content__buttons removal) for modals.

Testing Instructions for Version 2.8

  1. Deploy File:
    • Replace pull-content.php in /Web/nlhcm/public/ with Version 2.8.
    • No changes to custom.css are needed, as image styling is confirmed working.
  2. Test index.php Modal:
    • Visit https://www.nlt-chaplaincy.org/index.php at 10:36 PM HKT on August 7, 2025 (or later), in a fresh browser.
    • Click the button with data-modal-link="stories.php".
    • Verify the modal shows one copy of each stories section with:
      • Full content (~692/1125 characters).
      • Image before text (title, image, content order).
      • No buttons.
    • Check debug logs for:
      • Debug: Is modal request: Yes (blue, during fetch).
      • Debug: Modal content length: 692 characters and 1125 characters (purple, one per section).
      • Debug: Fetched HTML length: ... (green, confirming fetch).
      • No duplicate sections or truncated content.
  3. Test stories.php Behavior:
    • Visit https://www.nlt-chaplaincy.org/stories.php.
    • Confirm both stories sections show:
      • Truncated content (60 characters with “…”).
      • Buttons with data-modal-id (e.g., “Read More”).
    • Click each button and verify the modal shows:
      • Full content (~692/1125 characters).
      • Image before text.
      • No buttons.
    • Check debug logs for:
      • Debug: Is modal request: No (blue, direct load).
      • Debug: Modal trigger rendered for ID: modal-content-XXX with button text: YYY (orange).
      • Debug: Modal content length: 692/1125 characters (purple, in modals).
  4. Inspect Modal Content:
    • On stories.php, use DevTools to inspect <div id="modal-content-XXX"> and confirm it contains full content with title, image, content order.
    • In the index.php modal, inspect #modal-body to verify one copy of each section with full content and correct order.
  5. Publii Regeneration:
    • Re-generate the site in Publii to clear caches. Note the content-pushing issue for later.
  6. Image Styling:
    • Confirm .welcome-image retains rounded corners (8px) and light shadows in both page and modal contexts.

Publii Display Order Plan (Deferred)

When ready to address:

  1. Remove <?php include 'pull-contents.php'; ?> from Publii’s “Before every page” setting.
  2. Edit stories.php.hbs to place the include within <main>:
    <main class="container">
       {{> header }}
       <?php include 'pull-contents.php'; ?>
       {{> footer }}
    </main>
  3. Test other pages (index.php, faq.php) to ensure PHP includes are correctly placed.
  4. Inspect HTML to confirm integration with the template.

April 15 Insights

  • The April 15 code (approximated by April 13) rendered full content for all modals, with JavaScript removing buttons. It didn’t use data-modal-id or .modal-story-content, avoiding duplication but lacking the image-before-text order.
  • Version 2.8 aligns with April 15’s full-content modal goal while maintaining post-April enhancements (truncation on stories.php, data-modal-id, image-before-text).

If Issues Persist

Please share:

  • Debug logs from index.php when clicking data-modal-link="stories.php".
  • HTML output of #modal-body in the index.php modal (via DevTools).
  • HTML output of a <div id="modal-content-XXX"> from stories.php.
  • Confirmation of button_text values in web_content (if buttons behave unexpectedly).
  • Any Publii or PHP error logs.

Version 2.8 should eliminate the duplicated sections in the data-modal-link modal, showing only the full-content versions with correct ordering. Let me know the results, and we’ll plan the Publii fix when you’re ready!


Q: Yup, V2.8 is working good, however even when debug mode is set to false I still see them at the bottom of the website, though they are not showing between the sections. It seems that the debug toggle is not affecting all debug messages. Can you check?


A: Thank you for confirming that Version 2.8 of pull-content.php is working as expected, with direct access to stories.php showing truncated content and buttons, and modals from both stories.php (data-modal-id) and index.php (data-modal-link="stories.php") displaying full content, image before text, and no buttons, with no duplication. The issue you’ve raised about debug messages still appearing at the bottom of the website even when DEBUG is set to false is a great catch and indicates that some debug logs are not respecting the DEBUG toggle. Let’s analyze this and provide a fix, while keeping the Publii display order issue deferred as agreed.

Issue Analysis

  • Problem: Debug messages (e.g., Debug: Modal content length: 692 characters, Debug: Modal content length: 1125 characters) appear at the bottom of the website, even when define('DEBUG', false) is set in the PHP. However, they are not appearing between sections, which is good.
  • Cause: The DEBUG toggle is implemented in PHP using define('DEBUG', true) and checked with if (DEBUG) { ... } for most logs, but some debug messages (likely the modal content length logs in .modal-story-content divs) are not properly guarded. Additionally, the JavaScript debug logs (e.g., logDebug calls) use a separate DEBUG = true variable that isn’t synchronized with the PHP toggle, causing them to persist.
  • Location of Issue: The messages at the bottom likely come from:
    • PHP: Modal content length logs in <div id="modal-content-XXX"> divs on stories.php or modal rendering for AJAX requests.
    • JavaScript: Logs appended to the <div id="debug-log"> element by logDebug (e.g., Debug: Modal script loaded, Debug: Found X modal triggers).
  • April 15 Context: Our April 15, 2025, discussions didn’t explicitly address debug toggling, but the April 13 code (pull-contents_250413.php) had minimal debugging, suggesting we added more logs in later versions without fully tying them to the DEBUG toggle.

Fix Strategy

  1. PHP Debug Logs:
    • Ensure all PHP debug messages, including those in .modal-story-content divs, are wrapped in if (DEBUG) { ... }.
    • Verify that logs like Debug: Modal content length: ... are suppressed when DEBUG is false.
  2. JavaScript Debug Logs:
    • Synchronize the JavaScript DEBUG variable with the PHP DEBUG setting by passing the PHP DEBUG value to JavaScript.
    • Ensure logDebug calls are skipped when DEBUG is false.
  3. Preserve Functionality: Maintain all Version 2.8 behavior (truncation on stories.php, full content in modals, image-before-text order, no buttons in modals).
  4. Publii Issue: Defer the content-pushing issue, as agreed.

Changes in Version 2.9

  • PHP Debug Logs:
    • Ensured all debug messages, including Debug: Modal content length: ... in .modal-story-content divs, are wrapped in if (DEBUG) { ... }.
    • No changes to PHP rendering logic, as Version 2.8’s content, truncation, and modal behavior are confirmed correct.
  • JavaScript Debug Logs:
    • Synchronized JavaScript DEBUG with PHP by outputting const DEBUG = <?php echo DEBUG ? 'true' : 'false'; ?>;.
    • Modified logDebug to check DEBUG && debugLog and only create the #debug-log container when DEBUG is true.
    • Added DEBUG check for debug messages in the openModal fallback path to ensure consistency.
  • Safety Checks: Added null checks for modal, modalBody, closeBtn, and triggers to prevent JavaScript errors if the modal container is missing.
  • No Functional Changes: Preserved all Version 2.8 behavior (truncation on stories.php, full content in modals, image-before-text, no buttons in modals).

Testing Instructions for Version 2.9

  1. Deploy File:
    • Replace pull-content.php in /Web/nlhcm/public/ with Version 2.9.
    • Set define('DEBUG', false) in the PHP file to test debug suppression.
    • No changes to custom.css are needed, as image styling is confirmed working.
  2. Test Debug Message Suppression:
    • Visit https://www.nlt-chaplaincy.org/stories.php at 09:36 AM HKT on August 8, 2025 (or later), in a fresh browser.
    • Verify no debug messages appear anywhere on the page, including at the bottom (e.g., no Debug: Modal content length: 692/1125 characters).
    • Inspect the page source and confirm <div id="modal-content-XXX"> divs (for data-modal-id) do not contain purple debug messages.
    • Set define('DEBUG', true) and re-test to confirm debug messages reappear (e.g., Debug: Modal trigger rendered..., Debug: Modal content length: ...).
  3. Test index.php Modal:
    • Visit https://www.nlt-chaplaincy.org/index.php.
    • Click the button with data-modal-link="stories.php".
    • Verify the modal shows one copy of each stories section with:
      • Full content (~692/1125 characters).
      • Image before text (title, image, content order).
      • No buttons.
    • With DEBUG = false, confirm no debug messages in the modal (e.g., no Debug: Modal content length: ...).
    • With DEBUG = true, confirm debug logs like:
      • Debug: Is modal request: Yes (blue, in fetched stories.php response).
      • Debug: Modal content length: 692/1125 characters (purple, per section).
  4. Test stories.php Behavior:
    • Visit https://www.nlt-chaplaincy.org/stories.php.
    • Confirm both stories sections show:
      • Truncated content (60 characters with “…”).
      • Buttons with data-modal-id (e.g., “Read More”).
    • Click each button and verify the modal shows:
      • Full content (~692/1125 characters).
      • Image before text.
      • No buttons.
    • With DEBUG = false, confirm no debug messages on the page or in modals.
    • With DEBUG = true, confirm logs like:
      • Debug: Is modal request: No (blue).
      • Debug: Modal trigger rendered for ID: modal-content-XXX with button text: YYY (orange).
      • Debug: Modal content length: 692/1125 characters (purple, in modals).
  5. Inspect Modal Content:
    • On stories.php, use DevTools to inspect <div id="modal-content-XXX"> and confirm it contains full content with title, image, content order, and no debug messages when DEBUG = false.
    • In the index.php modal, inspect #modal-body to verify the same.
  6. Publii Regeneration:
    • Re-generate the site in Publii to clear caches. Note the content-pushing issue for later.
  7. Image Styling:
    • Confirm .welcome-image retains rounded corners (8px) and light shadows in both page and modal contexts.

Publii Display Order Plan (Deferred)

When ready:

  1. Remove <?php include 'pull-contents.php'; ?> from Publii’s “Before every page” setting.
  2. Edit stories.php.hbs to place the include within <main>:
    <main class="container">
       {{> header }}
       <?php include 'pull-contents.php'; ?>
       {{> footer }}
    </main>
  3. Test other pages (index.php, faq.php) to ensure correct PHP placement.
  4. Inspect HTML to confirm integration.

If Issues Persist

Please share:

  • Screenshots or text of any debug messages that appear with DEBUG = false.
  • HTML output of #modal-body in the index.php modal (via DevTools).
  • HTML output of a <div id="modal-content-XXX"> from stories.php.
  • Confirmation of button_text values in web_content if buttons behave unexpectedly.
  • Any Publii or PHP error logs.

Version 2.9 should suppress all debug messages when DEBUG = false, maintaining all Version 2.8 functionality. Let me know the results, and we’ll plan the Publii fix when you’re ready!


Q: It looks very complete in the first glance! I've updated V2.9 but debug messages are still shown at the end of the web page after I clicking a few buttons to call the modal window. Another issue is: Though I have three "stories" sections set to Show in the back-end, only two are shown in the modal windows from index.php. When accessing stories.php, all three are shown. I think this issue might already be there before V2.9 and is not caused by the debug message fix.I've moved the <?php include 'pull-contents.php'; ?> to "After every page" and things look good now, though I would ask you for a display issue after the above issues are solved.


I have verified with your SQL and is confirming that there are three stories sections with unique order numbers. But only sections of positions 1 and 3 are shown in the modal. Order 2 section is missing, though it is the LAST section I created. There are no more debug message when the trigger is set to "false".When the debug trigger is set to "true" and the button for "stories.php" is clicked, the floating debug message says:Debug: Modal closed Debug: Trigger clicked, link: stories.php Debug: Fetching absolute link: https://www.nlt-chaplaincy.org/stories.php Debug: Found 0 section-herocontent sections Debug: Modal opened Debug: Fetch response status: 200 OK Debug: Fetched HTML length: 18240 Debug: Found 2 modal-story-content sections in fetched content Debug: Found 2 modal-story-content sections Debug: Modal openedStill two stories sections are shown in the modal instead of the expected three. BUT, after I added button text and the button link ("stories.php") all three sections are shown in the modal with the following debug message:Debug: Modal script loaded Debug: Found 6 modal triggers Debug: Trigger clicked, link: stories.php Debug: Fetching absolute link: https://www.nlt-chaplaincy.org/stories.php Debug: Found 0 section-herocontent sections Debug: Modal opened Debug: Fetch response status: 200 OK Debug: Fetched HTML length: 19370 Debug: Found 3 modal-story-content sections in fetched content Debug: Found 3 modal-story-content sections Debug: Modal opened


A: Thank you for the detailed feedback on Version 2.10 of pull-content.php and for verifying the SQL query results, which confirm three stories sections with unique position values (1, 2, 3) and status = 'Show'. I’m glad to hear the debug messages are now suppressed when define('DEBUG', false), resolving that issue. The remaining problem is that the data-modal-link="stories.php" modal from index.php shows only two sections (positions 1 and 3), missing the section with position 2, despite all three appearing on direct stories.php access. Your observation that adding button_text and button_link ("stories.php") to the missing section (position 2) fixed the issue, with debug logs showing Found 3 modal-story-content sections, provides critical insight into the root cause.

I’ll analyze the issue, explain why the section was missing, and propose a fix in Version 2.11 to ensure all sections display in the modal regardless of button_text or button_link. I’ll also address the Publii “After every page” success, note the upcoming display issue, and keep the file management plan ready for your review.

Issue Analysis

Missing Story in data-modal-link Modal

  • Problem: The data-modal-link="stories.php" modal from index.php shows only sections with positions 1 and 3, omitting position 2, despite all three appearing on stories.php. Adding button_text and button_link ("stories.php") to the position 2 section fixes it.
  • SQL Verification: The query confirms three sections with unique positions (1, 2, 3), status = 'Show', and valid content (lengths likely ~692, ~1125, and a third value). The position 2 section is the newest (based on date_edited DESC).
  • Debug Logs (Before Fix):
    • Debug: Fetched HTML length: 18240
    • Debug: Found 2 modal-story-content sections in fetched content
    • Debug: Found 0 section-hero__content sections
    • Indicates the JavaScript fetch found only two .modal-story-content divs in the AJAX response for stories.php.
  • Debug Logs (After Adding button_text):
    • Debug: Fetched HTML length: 19370
    • Debug: Found 3 modal-story-content sections in fetched content
    • Shows all three sections are now included, with a larger HTML response (19370 vs. 18240 bytes), suggesting additional content (the button) triggered proper rendering.
  • Cause:
    • In Version 2.10, the PHP renders .modal-story-content divs for $is_modal_request (AJAX fetch for data-modal-link). However, for direct stories.php rendering (!$is_modal_request), the <div id="modal-content-XXX"> divs (used for data-modal-id modals) are only generated when !empty($row['button_text']) in the if (!empty($row['button_text'])) block. The position 2 section initially lacked button_text, so its <div id="modal-content-XXX"> was not rendered, but its truncated content appeared on stories.php.
    • For $is_modal_request, the PHP should render .modal-story-content for all sections, but a logic flaw likely caused the position 2 section to be skipped unless button_text was present, possibly due to a dependency in the rendering loop or a misconfigured condition.
    • The fix after adding button_text suggests the <div id="modal-content-XXX"> rendering influenced the AJAX response, or the backend validation for button_text affected modal rendering.
  • Hypothesis: The $is_modal_request rendering block in PHP is incorrectly filtering sections based on button_text or another field, omitting the position 2 section when button_text is empty. The direct stories.php rendering works because it doesn’t rely on the modal-specific logic.
  • April 13 Reference: The April 13 code (pull-contents_250413.php) rendered all sections for data-modal-link without checking button_text, suggesting our post-April 15 enhancements (e.g., data-modal-id, button-dependent modals) introduced the dependency.

Debug Message Fix Confirmation

  • Success: With DEBUG = false, no debug messages appear, confirming Version 2.10 fixed the issue. The floating debug logs with DEBUG = true (in a fixed-position #debug-log) are expected and help diagnose the missing section.
  • Note: The duplicate Debug: Modal opened and Debug: Modal closed logs indicate multiple modal interactions or redundant triggers, but this doesn’t affect functionality.

Fix Strategy

  1. Missing Story:
    • Modify the $is_modal_request rendering block to ensure all status = 'Show' sections are included in .modal-story-content divs, regardless of button_text or button_link.
    • Remove any dependency on button_text in modal rendering, aligning with direct stories.php behavior.
    • Add debug logs to track section IDs and positions in $is_modal_request rendering.
  2. Debug Logs:
    • Keep the fixed-position #debug-log styling and clearing logic from Version 2.10.
    • Reduce redundant logs (e.g., duplicate Debug: Modal opened) by optimizing modal event handling.
  3. Preserve Functionality: Maintain truncation on stories.php, full content in modals, image-before-text, and no buttons in modals.
  4. Publii Note: Acknowledge the “After every page” fix and defer the new display issue.

Changes in Version 2.11

  • Missing Story:
    • Removed the if (!empty($row['button_text'])) condition from the $is_modal_request rendering block, ensuring all sections are rendered as .modal-story-content divs for AJAX fetches, regardless of button_text.
    • Kept the button_text check for <div id="modal-content-XXX"> divs in direct stories.php rendering to maintain data-modal-id button behavior.
    • Added debug log (Debug: Rendering modal section ID: ...) in $is_modal_request to track rendered sections.
  • Debug Logs:
    • Retained Version 2.10’s fixed-position #debug-log styling and clearing logic.
    • Reduced redundant Debug: Modal opened logs by ensuring openModal is called once per fetch.
    • Kept debug message removal in openModal for robustness.
  • No Functional Changes: Preserved truncation on stories.php, full content in modals, image-before-text, and no buttons in modals.

Testing Instructions for Version 2.11

  1. Deploy File:
    • Replace pull-content.php in /Web/nlhcm/public/ with Version 2.11.
    • Set define('DEBUG', false) for production, then test with DEBUG = true for diagnostics.
    • No changes to custom.css needed.
  2. Test Missing Story:
    • Remove button_text and button_link from the position 2 section in the backend to replicate the original issue.
    • Visit https://www.nlt-chaplaincy.org/index.php at 10:40 PM HKT on August 8, 2025 (or later).
    • Click the data-modal-link="stories.php" button.
    • Verify the modal shows all three sections (positions 1, 2, 3) with:
      • Full content (~692, ~1125, and third section’s length).
      • Image before text (title, image, content).
      • No buttons.
    • With DEBUG = true, check logs for:
      • Debug: Fetched 3 sections for page 'stories' (blue).
      • Debug: Rendering modal section ID: X at position: 1 (blue, for each section).
      • Debug: Found 3 modal-story-content sections in fetched content (green).
    • Visit https://www.nlt-chaplaincy.org/stories.php.
    • Confirm all three sections show (truncated, with buttons only for sections with button_text).
    • Click data-modal-id buttons (where available) to verify modals show full content.
  3. Verify Debug Suppression:
    • With DEBUG = false, confirm no debug messages appear on stories.php, in modals, or at the page bottom.
    • Inspect <div id="modal-content-XXX"> and #modal-body in DevTools to confirm no debug messages.
  4. Inspect Modal Content:
    • On stories.php, verify three <div id="modal-content-XXX"> divs (for sections with button_text).
    • In the index.php modal, confirm three .modal-story-content sections in #modal-body.
  5. Publii Regeneration:
    • Re-generate the site in Publii to clear caches.
  6. Image Styling:
    • Confirm .welcome-image retains rounded corners (8px) and light shadows.

Publii Note

  • Success: The “After every page” setting for <?php include 'pull-contents.php'; ?> resolved the content-pushing issue. Please share details of the new display issue when ready.
  • File Management: The plan remains ready for your review, and I can assist with the archiving feature implementation when you’re ready.

If Issues Persist

Please share:

  • Missing Story:
    • SQL query results for stories sections (already provided, but confirm after removing button_text).
    • HTML output of #modal-body in the index.php modal (three vs. two sections).
    • HTML output of <div id="modal-content-XXX"> divs from stories.php.
  • Debug Logs:
    • Any unexpected debug messages with DEBUG = false.
    • Full #debug-log output with DEBUG = true if fewer than three sections appear.
  • General:
    • Confirmation of button_text values in web_content.
    • Any Publii or PHP error logs.

Version 2.11 should ensure all three stories sections appear in the data-modal-link modal, even without button_text. Let me know the results, and we’ll address the new display issue next!


Q: This version has solved all issues, many thanks! Let's proceed to one display issues. Attached are two images showing the same browser inspection window of stories.php as an example. As you can see, there is a BIG gap between the theme image (With a balloon at the top, created in Publii) and the first dynamic section titled "你的奉獻...". You can see the div class of the gap region in the first image and the div class of the first dynamic section in the second image. Below is the full custom.css source for your inspection and fix:


I see no change in the size of the gap in both PC and mobile views after applying the V2.0 css. From the previous attached image 1, I noticed the div of the white gap was called "div.main_right". From the previous attached image 2, I noticed the div of the first dynamic section was called "div.main_right.main_right--bottom". Would this help you to locate the issue?


V2.1 still fails to solve the gap issue! I try inspect the website (This time index.php) in another browser. As you can see from the attached screenshot of the inspect windows (This time the PC view), the gap's div class is called "contententry contententry--full", as indicated by the red arrow. "contententry contententry--full" (The blue area) looks like to be the thing that causes the big gap!

Please note:

  • If you think "contententry contententry--full" is the real issue, see if we need to roll back the previous fixes in V 2.2
  • Please add version number to the comment of the code, just like pull-contents.php

Thanks for the update!! Before testing out the V2.2, I want to bring out the point that though you said the div "is likely a Publii theme container wrapping the dynamic content generated by pull-content.php", but what we see from the screenshot is: The blue area (The area of the contententry contententry--full div) is shown BEFORE the first dynamic section, not WRAPPING around all dynamic sections. Would the blue area actually be the static content area from the Publii theme, since index.php is just an empty page in Publii? Attached is the screenshot of index.php in Publii. I wonder if the empty content area between the two red lines is where contententry contententry--full is.


V2.3 didn't solve the gap issue. Attached are two screenshots from the browser. I added a short paragraph to confirm that the gap is the main content area of the Pulii template.

  • On image 1's lower right area (See the red arrow), I unchecked "min-height: 200px" and the white gap is closed a bit (The div class is div.contententry.contententry--full).
  • On image 2's lower right area (See the green arrow), I changed "margin-top: 4rem" to 0rem, and the white gap is further closed (The div class is div.main_right.main_right--bottom, as annotated with a pink arrow).

Please evaluate and see if previous fixes need to be rolled back!


This fix has improved things! I've discovered further elements that have caused the gap. Attached are another two screenshots that share the same "logic" as the previous two, where I locate a div and uncheck some styles. Image 1 shows the height of "main_right" (Green arrow) can be shorten by disabling margin-top for both normal and @media conditions (Red arrows). Image 2 shows the height of "main_right main_right--bottom" (Green arrow) can be shorten by disabling also margin-top for both normal and @media conditions (Red arrows). Note that I'm using a Publii theme that shows a left Featured Image and a right content area, which become just a single column when on mobile. That's why the "main_right" class naming.


Things have improved with V2.5 css but the gap is still there. Attached is the Inspect window from browser showing a mobile view of the website. For unknown reasons, I can't find the exact element that contributes to the gap (See skin color/red arrow pointed area on the left). However, when I click on the "margin" part of the box model at the bottom right (Circled area), the gap area is selected. There, the margin value is 67.709 (Arrowed) but I'm unable to change it to verify. Do you think this info. help?


V2.6 makes no difference. I tried re-locating the gap element and captured the attached image. It seems that the gap is part of the "main_right.main_right--bottom" class, as indicated by the green arrow and the speech bubble on top-left of the skin-color highlighted area.


This version doesn't change the gap either! Attached is the main CSS from the Publii theme "Square" that I'm using. See if you'll find something revealing there!


V2.8 still fails. I found another CSS file called style.css in the same theme folder as main.css. Please see the attached for its full content. See if this will provide further hints.


This still fails. I think I found the real issue there. From the first image attached, you can see the gap on mobile view is closed by setting margin-top to -3.8rem at the first red arrow place (.main_right--bottom) of @media view. From the first image attached, you can see the gap on PC view is closed by setting margin-top to -3.75 (Similar to 3.8) rem at the red arrow place (.main_right). I have also removed the extra padding at the sides of the right scrolling frame by setting margin to 0% (yellow arrow). Please update the CSS with these three changes, and this time the gap should be closed perfectly! Since previous fixes were not useful, see do you think it's good to remove those extra styles.


It's sad that the gap RE-APPEARS. It seems that the V2.9 fixes plus the negative margin are all needed! And please also unify the margin value to -2.8rem.


Um....it's weird that V3.1 still doesn't close the gap. In the inspect window I still see old values of 3.75rem for margin-top and 4% for padding even thought I have re-generated the site and replaced to CSS... (I meant -3.8rem instead of -2.8 from my previous message).


V3.2 still fails. I wonder how can we make the three styles that we are modifying of the highest priority? Below is the full content of page-empty.hbs, which is the template I'm using. See if it will provide any hints?

Interestingly, with this version, I see a new class in the Inspect window. Attached image 1 is showing the class name with skin color showing the gap area. Disabling this line will remove the gap. Similarly, image 2 is showing the PC view where I disabled the same class. The entire white gap is removed from the top, despite a line is running across, which we can remove later.

Before applying this update, I want to clarify where is .gap-class found? The problematic class is called ".banner--after-content" in the inspect window.


A: Thank you for clarifying that the problematic class is .banner--after-content, which is causing the gap in the inspect window. This makes sense given the page-empty.hbs template, where .banner--after-content is conditionally included within the .main__right--bottom div when @customHTML.afterPage is present. The .banner--after-content class likely introduces default spacing (e.g., margin-top or padding) that creates the gap. Since you haven’t applied the update yet, I’ll adjust the custom.css (Version 3.4) to specifically target .banner--after-content instead of the placeholder .gap-class, ensuring it has the highest priority with the fixes we’ve been working on. I’ll provide the updated file with version numbering.

Updated Issue Analysis

  • Class Identification: The .banner--after-content class, highlighted in the inspect window, is the source of the gap. Disabling it removes the space, confirming it applies unwanted margin or padding.
  • Template Context: In page-empty.hbs, .banner--after-content is a div that wraps custom HTML after the page content, suggesting the theme’s default styling for this banner (e.g., in main.css or style.css) includes spacing we need to override.
  • Priority Issue: The persistent gap indicates the theme’s styles for .banner--after-content have higher specificity or !important, requiring us to use a more targeted approach.

Fix Strategy

  1. Target .banner--after-content:
    • Set margin: 0 !important and padding: 0 !important on .banner--after-content to neutralize its default spacing.
    • Apply this rule globally and within the .main.page context for maximum specificity.
  2. Reinforce Previous Fixes:
    • Keep .main.page .main__right:first-child { margin-top: -3.8rem !important; } for PC view.
    • Keep .main.page .main__right { margin: 0% !important; } to remove padding.
    • Retain .main.page .main__right .main__right--bottom:first-child { margin-top: -3.8rem !important; } for mobile view with resets.
  3. Preserve Layout:
    • Ensure the two-column (PC) and single-column (mobile) layouts remain intact.
  4. Add Version Comment: Include /* Custom CSS for NLT Chaplaincy CMS - Version 3.4 */.

Updated custom.css (Version 3.4)

Below is the updated custom.css (Version 3.4) with .banner--after-content targeted.

Changes in custom.css (Version 3.4)

  • Target .banner--after-content:
    • Replaced .gap-class with .banner--after-content.
    • Added .banner--after-content { margin: 0 !important; padding: 0 !important; } with redundant !important for priority, applied globally and in @media (max-width: 768px).
  • Reinforce Previous Fixes:
    • Kept .main.page .main__right:first-child { margin-top: -3.8rem !important; } and .main.page .main__right { margin: 0% !important; }.
    • Retained .main.page .main__right .main__right--bottom:first-child { margin-top: -3.8rem !important; } with resets.
  • Version Comment: Updated to /* Custom CSS for NLT Chaplaincy CMS - Version 3.4 */.

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Verify File Deployment:
    • Ensure custom.css is in /Web/nlhcm/public/assets/css/custom.css.
    • Check the file’s modification time (should be after 07:15 PM HKT on August 11, 2025).
  2. Clear All Caches:
    • Hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R or Cmd+Shift+R).
    • Clear browser and Publii caches, then regenerate and publish.
    • Clear server cache if applicable.
  3. Check CSS Load:
    • Use DevTools Network tab to confirm custom.css loads with a 200 status.
    • In Elements tab, verify .banner--after-content shows margin: 0 !important and padding: 0 !important.

Testing Instructions for custom.css (Version 3.4)

  1. Deploy File:
    • Replace the existing custom.css and follow troubleshooting steps.
  2. Test Gap Removal:
    • Visit https://www.nlt-chaplaincy.org/index.php and https://www.nlt-chaplaincy.org/stories.php at 07:30 PM HKT on Monday, August 11, 2025.
    • Check PC view and confirm the gap is gone, with .main.page .main__right:first-child showing margin-top: -3.8rem !important and .banner--after-content showing margin: 0 !important.
    • Switch to mobile view and verify the gap is gone, with .main.page .main__right .main__right--bottom:first-child showing margin-top: -3.8rem !important and .banner--after-content showing margin: 0 !important.
    • Ensure .main.page .main__right has margin: 0% !important.
  3. Test Layout:
    • Confirm the two-column (PC) and single-column (mobile) layouts.
    • Verify alignment with .section-hero--full.
  4. Test with Content:
    • Add the paragraph on index.php and check both views.
  5. Inspect Styling:
    • Confirm .welcome-image, .myButton, and .myButtonBig styles.
  6. Address the Line:
    • If the line in PC view remains, use DevTools to identify its source (e.g., hr or border) and let me know.
  7. Fallback Check:
    • If the gap persists, share a screenshot of the CSS cascade for .banner--after-content.

Publii Context

  • Template Insight: .banner--after-content is part of .main__right--bottom, and its default styling is the gap culprit.
  • Next Issue: We can tackle the PC line once the gap is resolved.

Let me know the results after applying this version! The file management plan remains available for your review.


Q: The gap is solved with V3.4, wonderful! I've figured out that by disabling the circled styles of the yellow-highlighted class from attached image 1, the line on the right top is removed as well.

Image description


Q: I've added a new website section in "web_content" table, setting the "page" field to "finance" and "status" to "Show". When I click on a button that links to "finance.php" from the home page (https://www.nlt-chaplaincy.org/index.php), the modal window is white and empty (But things are fine with button that links to "stories.php").

The modal debug message says:

Debug: Modal script loaded Debug: Found 5 modal triggers Debug: Trigger clicked, link: finance.php Debug: Fetching absolute link: https://www.nlt-chaplaincy.org/finance.php Debug: Found 0 section-herocontent sections Debug: Modal opened Debug: Fetch response status: 200 OK Debug: Fetched HTML length: 14052 Debug: Found 0 modal-story-content sections in fetched content Debug: Found 0 section-herocontent sections Debug: Modal openedWhen I access the finance page directly (https://www.nlt-chaplaincy.org/finance.php), the new section is shown correctly. The on-page debug message is:Debug: Calling file: 'finance.php' Debug: REQUEST_URI: '/finance.php' Debug: Current page after str_replace: 'finance' Debug: Final current_page: 'finance' Debug: Image Base Path: 'https://admin.nlt-chaplaincy.org/images/' Debug: Is modal request: No Debug: Fetched 1 sections for page 'finance'

The version of pull-contents.php is V2.11.


Issue remains the same with V3.7 of the CSS!


The issue remains with V3.8, except for a red frame added to the modal title, as shown in the attached image. It seems that we need to update the php. One thing interesting is, the issue persists (Empty modal, working direct-accessed page) even if I duplicate stories.php and rename it manually to finance.php (Exact structure).


I think I will provide you the php source for your update to prevent human errors. But before that, I want to check if this logic still holds: When a section's "page" (Slug) is set to "finance" (abcde), the finance.php (abcde.php) file will be loaded inside a modal showing all "finance" (abcde) section ordered by "position"?


A: Thanks for considering providing the PHP source—that will definitely help refine the solution and minimize errors. Regarding your question about the logic, let’s confirm and clarify it based on the context provided so far.

Verification of Logic

Your statement: "When a section's 'page' (Slug) is set to 'finance' (abcde), the finance.php (abcde.php) file will be loaded inside a modal showing all 'finance' (abcde) section ordered by 'position'?"—let’s break it down:

  • Slug Mapping: Yes, the page field in the web_content table (e.g., set to finance or abcde) corresponds to the PHP file name (e.g., finance.php or abcde.php). This is consistent with your setup, where setting page to finance triggers finance.php to be loaded.
  • Modal Loading: The modal is intended to load the content of finance.php when triggered (e.g., via a button from index.php). The current issue is that the modal appears empty, despite the page working directly, suggesting the content isn’t being properly injected.
  • Section Ordering: The phrase "showing all 'finance' (abcde) section ordered by 'position'" implies that finance.php should display multiple sections from the web_content table where page = 'finance', sorted by the position column. This aligns with the direct access debug message (Fetched 1 sections for page 'finance'), indicating the PHP logic retrieves sections based on the page slug. However, the modal debug (Found 0 section-hero__content sections) suggests this content isn’t being parsed or passed correctly for modal display.

Current Logic Assessment

  • Holds True for Direct Access: When you access https://www.nlt-chaplaincy.org/finance.php directly, the logic holds—finance.php loads and displays the section(s) for page = 'finance', ordered by position (e.g., 1 section fetched).
  • Fails in Modal: The modal fetch fails to display this content, likely because pull-contents.php V2.11 (or the modal script) doesn’t recognize or extract the sections properly, even when finance.php is a duplicate of stories.php.

Refined Logic Confirmation

Yes, the logic still holds in principle:

  • When page is set to finance (or abcde), finance.php (or abcde.php) should load.
  • Inside the modal, it should display all sections from the web_content table where page = 'finance' (or abcde), ordered by position.
  • The current failure is due to a processing gap between the fetch request and content rendering, not the core logic.

Next Steps

  1. Provide PHP Source: Sharing pull-contents.php V2.11 and possibly finance.php will allow me to tailor the update. This ensures the fix aligns with your exact implementation.
  2. Proposed PHP Update: Once I have the source, I’ll suggest modifications to:
    • Detect modal requests (e.g., via ?modal=1 or request headers).
    • Ensure pull-contents.php extracts and returns the full section content (e.g., .content__entry or .section-hero__content) for finance.php.
    • Maintain the ordering by position.

Action Plan

  • Please attach or paste the contents of pull-contents.php V2.11 and, if possible, finance.php (or its template, e.g., page-empty.hbs if used).
  • I’ll update the PHP accordingly and provide a revised custom.css (Version 3.9) if needed.
  • Test the updated files after deployment.

For now, I won’t modify custom.css Version 3.9 further, as the diagnostic styling is in place. The file management plan remains available for your review. Let me know once you share the PHP source!

Original Chat


Q: Hey Grok! We were discussing to fix the modal bug on pull-contents.php V2.11 of Chaplaincy Admin in our previous chat titled "AppGini Low-code Web System Development 15". It seems that the chat has been too long and I'm unable to continue the discussion. Do you think we can continue on this chat?


A: Yes, we can definitely continue the discussion here to resolve the modal bug in pull-contents.php V2.11 for the Chaplaincy Admin system. Thanks for referencing our previous conversation—it helps keep us on track. I understand the issue is that the modal appears empty when loading finance.php (or similar pages like abcde.php), despite the page working correctly when accessed directly, and we need to ensure sections from the web_content table with page = 'finance' are displayed in the modal, ordered by position.

To move forward, could you please share the current contents of pull-contents.php V2.11 and, if possible, finance.php (or confirm if it’s identical to stories.php or based on a template like page-empty.hbs)? This will help me pinpoint why the modal fetch is returning zero sections (e.g., Found 0 section-hero__content sections) and propose precise updates to fix the content rendering. If you’re also using any specific JavaScript or modal-related code (e.g., in custom.js), mentioning that would be helpful too.

In the meantime, I can suggest a general approach based on our prior discussion:

  • Ensure pull-contents.php checks for modal requests (e.g., via a query parameter like ?modal=1 or headers).
  • Adjust the content extraction logic to correctly parse and return .section-hero__content or .content__entry elements for the modal.
  • Verify the SQL query in pull-contents.php fetches sections where page = 'finance' and sorts by position.

Once you provide the code, I’ll tailor the fix to your setup and include any necessary custom.css updates (sticking with Version 3.9 unless changes are needed). Let me know the files or any additional details, and we’ll get this sorted!

A: Below, I’ve provided the fully updated pull-contents.php (Version 2.12) and custom.css (Version 4.0, to reflect the changes while maintaining version control). The updates incorporate the fixes for the modal bug, ensuring finance.php content loads correctly in the modal with sections ordered by position. I’ve also included the suggested CSS additions for consistency, incrementing to Version 4.0 as a new iteration since we’re modifying the styling.

Updated pull-contents.php (Version 2.12)

This includes the modified $is_modal_request check to detect ?modal=1 and the updated JavaScript with the fetch query parameter and enhanced content parsing fallback.

Key Changes:

  • Version Update: Changed to Version 2.12 for clarity.
  • Modal Detection: Updated $is_modal_request (line ~60) to include isset($_GET['modal']), ensuring ?modal=1 triggers modal-specific rendering.
  • JavaScript Fetch: Modified the fetch call (line ~435) to append ?modal=1 to absoluteLink and include the X-Requested-With header.
  • Content Parsing: Added fallback to .generic-content in the fetch .then block (line ~460) to handle cases where .modal-story-content or .section-hero__content aren’t found.

Updated custom.css (Version 4.0)

This assumes custom.css V3.9 exists and adds the modal-specific styles to ensure consistent rendering. Since you’re modifying the CSS, incrementing to Version 4.0 makes sense for version control. Below is the additional CSS to append to your existing custom.css (or replace it if you confirm it’s safe to overwrite).

/* custom.css (Version 4.0) */

/* Existing styles from V3.9 (assumed to be present; include your original styles here) */
/* Add the following at the end or integrate as needed */

/* Modal-specific styles */
.modal-story-content {
    max-width: 800px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    padding: 20px;
}
.modal-story-content h1 {
    font-size: 2rem;
    margin-bottom: 1rem;
    text-align: center;
}
.modal-story-content .content-image {
    max-width: 100%;
    margin: 1rem 0;
}
.modal-story-content .generic-content {
    font-size: 1rem;
    line-height: 1.6;
}
.modal-section-separator {
    border-top: 1px solid #ccc;
    margin: 20px 0;
}

/* Ensure modal container is styled appropriately */
.modal {
    display: none;
    position: fixed;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
    z-index: 1000;
}
.modal-content {
    background-color: #fff;
    margin: 5% auto;
    padding: 20px;
    border-radius: 5px;
    max-width: 90%;
    max-height: 80vh;
    overflow-y: auto;
    position: relative;
}
.modal-close {
    position: absolute;
    top: 10px;
    right: 15px;
    font-size: 1.5rem;
    cursor: pointer;
}

Notes on CSS:

  • The new styles ensure .modal-story-content and .modal-section-separator render consistently in the modal.
  • Basic modal container styles (.modal, .modal-content, .modal-close) are included to ensure the modal displays correctly. If these already exist in V3.9, you can skip them or merge as needed.
  • Save as custom.css Version 4.0 to reflect the update.

Implementation Steps

  1. Replace pull-contents.php:

    • Save the provided code as pull-contents.php (Version 2.12).
    • Ensure finance.php includes pull-contents.php (e.g., require_once 'pull-contents.php';). If finance.php uses a different structure, please share its code for verification.
  2. Update custom.css:

    • Append the new styles to your existing custom.css or create a new file as Version 4.0.
    • If you have existing modal styles in V3.9, merge them carefully to avoid conflicts.
  3. Test the Modal:

    • Add a modal trigger in your HTML, e.g., <a class="myButton modal-trigger" href="#" data-modal-link="finance.php">View Finance</a>.
    • Load the page (e.g., index.php) and click the trigger.
    • Check if the modal displays the content from finance.php (title, content, and image if model = 'title-text-image') ordered by position.
    • Enable DEBUG = true to monitor logs, looking for:
      • Debug: Is modal request: Yes
      • Debug: Fetched X sections for page 'finance'
      • Debug: Found X modal-story-content sections in fetched content
  4. Troubleshooting:

    • If the modal is still empty, check the browser console for JavaScript errors and debug logs for messages like No content found....
    • Verify the web_content table has rows with page = 'finance' and status = 'Show'.
    • Confirm finance.php is correctly set up to use pull-contents.php.

Additional Notes

  • Versioning: I’ve incremented to custom.css V4.0 to reflect the new styles, as you’re modifying the CSS. If you prefer to keep V3.9, just append the new rules and note the changes in your version control.
  • finance.php: The fix assumes finance.php uses pull-contents.php like stories.php. If it’s based on a different template (e.g., page-empty.hbs), please share its contents to ensure compatibility.
  • Edge Cases: The JavaScript fallback to .generic-content should handle unexpected HTML structures, but if finance.php outputs unique markup, we may need to adjust the parser further.

Let me know if you need help deploying these files, encounter issues during testing, or can share finance.php for further tailoring. Test the modal and report any debug output or errors, and we’ll refine as needed!


Q: I've appended the new styles to the end of custom.css V3.9 and manually updated version to 4.0. The PHP source has been deployed as well! The modal is now working for both "stories" and "finance" sections (And supposedly other new sections as well). However, as shown in the attached image, the content inside the modal now overflows out of the modal, which was not the case in the old CSS version (V3.6) before the modal fix. Can you check if some of the styles working before have been changed or what?Below is V3.6 of the CSS:

A: Thanks for the update and the image! It’s great to hear the modal is now working for both "stories" and "finance" sections with the deployed pull-contents.php (Version 2.12) and updated custom.css (Version 4.0). The debug logs confirm the modal content is being fetched and parsed correctly (e.g., Found 3 modal-story-content sections in fetched content), and the HTTP status is 200 OK, which aligns with the fix working as intended.

The issue of content overflowing out of the modal, which wasn’t present in custom.css V3.6, suggests a change in styling behavior. Comparing V3.6 with the appended styles in V4.0, the overflow likely stems from differences in how the modal content is constrained. Let’s analyze and fix this.

Analysis of the Overflow Issue

  1. V3.6 Modal Styles:

    • .modal-content has width: 80%; max-width: 800px; min-height: 200px, with box-sizing: border-box to include padding and borders.
    • #modal-body has max-width: 100%; padding-top: 40px, ensuring content stays within the modal’s bounds.
    • #modal-body * (e.g., img, div, table) is set to max-width: 100%; height: auto, preventing overflow from images or other elements.
    • .modal-section-separator uses a centered text separator ("···") with no explicit width constraints, but its margin: 20px 0 keeps it contained.
  2. V4.0 Added Styles:

    • The new .modal-story-content has max-width: 800px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 20px, which is similar to V3.6’s #modal-body constraints.
    • .modal-content in V4.0 adds max-height: 80vh; overflow-y: auto, introducing a vertical scroll if content exceeds the viewport height. However, this doesn’t address horizontal overflow.
    • The lack of explicit max-width: 100% or overflow-x: hidden on #modal-body or .modal-story-content in the appended styles might allow content (e.g., wide images or unstyled tables) to spill out horizontally.
  3. Likely Cause:

    • The V4.0 styles don’t fully override or extend the V3.6 modal constraints. For example, if an image or table within .modal-story-content exceeds 800px (e.g., due to a hardcoded width or lack of responsive scaling), it could overflow.
    • The debug log shows three .modal-story-content sections, and the image suggests the content includes an image that’s too wide for the modal’s current constraints.

Proposed Fix

To prevent overflow while preserving the V3.6 behavior, we need to ensure all content within the modal respects the max-width and handles overflow appropriately. Here’s the updated custom.css (Version 4.0) with adjustments:

Updated custom.css (Version 4.0)

Replace your current V4.0 file with this, which integrates the new styles and fixes the overflow issue:

/* Custom CSS for NLT Chaplaincy CMS - Version 4.0 */

/* Existing styles from V3.6 (copied and preserved) */

Key Changes:

  • Preserved V3.6 Styles: All original V3.6 styles are retained to maintain prior behavior.
  • Integrated V4.0 Additions: Merged the new .modal-story-content and related styles, adjusting for overflow.
  • Overflow Fixes:
    • Added overflow-x: hidden to #modal-body and .modal-story-content to prevent horizontal overflow.
    • Ensured .modal-story-content has max-width: 100% and box-sizing: border-box to contain its children.
    • Kept max-width: 800px on .modal-content and adjusted internal elements to respect this limit.
  • Consistency: Aligned .modal-content properties (e.g., max-height: 80vh; overflow-y: auto) from V4.0 with V3.6’s structure.

Implementation Steps

  1. Replace custom.css:

    • Save the updated CSS as custom.css (Version 4.0), overwriting your current file.
    • Ensure no duplicate rules exist if you appended the V4.0 styles manually.
  2. Test the Modal:

    • Reload index.php and trigger the modal for "finance" or "stories".
    • Verify that the content (text, images, separators) stays within the modal boundaries.
    • Check if the vertical scroll works when content exceeds 80vh and that horizontal overflow is eliminated.
  3. Debug if Needed:

    • If overflow persists, inspect the modal content in the browser’s developer tools (e.g., right-click the modal, select "Inspect") to identify the overflowing element (e.g., an image or table with a fixed width).
    • Share a screenshot of the inspection or the specific HTML output if the issue remains.

Additional Notes

  • Image Size: The overflowing content in the image appears to be an image. Ensure all images in .modal-story-content have max-width: 100% applied (already included in #modal-body * and .modal-story-content .content-image).
  • Responsive Behavior: The V3.6 media queries should handle mobile views correctly. Test on a device with a width < 768px to confirm.
  • V3.6 vs. V4.0: The overflow fix restores the V3.6 containment behavior while retaining the new modal features from V4.0.

Let me know if the updated CSS resolves the overflow or if you need further adjustments after testing! If you can share the specific HTML output of the modal (e.g., via a screenshot of the inspected element), I can pinpoint any remaining issues.


Q: While V4.0 has solved the modal content overflow issue, there comes back an old issue we have encountered in the past (You may check our past chat on Chaplaincy Admin) —— Long content will cause a scrollbar to be shown INSIDE the modal (See green arrow of the attached screenshot) and remove the round angle to the top right of the modal (Red circles). We agreed in the past that it's better to move the modal scrollbar to the right of the browser window alongside the scrollbar of the main page. I think you can review CSS V3.6 for details!


This fix has created THREE scrollbars, as shown in the screenshot!


A: Thanks for the update and the screenshot! It’s clear that the latest change to custom.css (Version 4.1) has resulted in three scrollbars: one on the browser window, one on the modal, and one inside the modal content. This happens because the overflow properties are interacting unexpectedly due to the nested elements (.modal, .modal-content, and #modal-body). The goal is to have a single scrollbar on the browser window, so let’s refine the CSS to eliminate the extra scrollbars while preserving the rounded corners and full content display.

Analysis

  • Current Behavior:
    • .modal with overflow: auto adds a browser-level scrollbar.
    • .modal-content with height: 90% and its content exceeding the height triggers an internal scroll.
    • #modal-body with overflow-y: auto and height: 100% adds another scroll layer.
  • Desired Behavior: A single scrollbar on the browser window, with .modal-content and #modal-body expanding to fit the content, and the modal’s rounded corners preserved.

Proposed Fix

We’ll remove the height and overflow-y constraints from .modal-content and #modal-body, relying solely on .modal’s overflow: auto to handle scrolling at the browser level. We’ll also ensure the close button doesn’t interfere with the border-radius.

Key Changes

  • Version: Incremented to Version 4.2 to reflect the scrollbar fix.
  • Single Scrollbar: Removed height: 90% from .modal-content and height: 100%; overflow-y: auto from #modal-body. Only .modal retains overflow: auto, ensuring a single scrollbar at the browser level.
  • Content Flexibility: .modal-content now expands naturally to fit its content, avoiding internal scrolls.
  • Rounded Corners: The border-radius: 8px on .modal-content should persist, as the close button’s z-index: 1001 keeps it above the content without clipping.

Implementation Steps

  1. Replace custom.css:

    • Save this code as custom.css (Version 4.2), overwriting the current file.
    • Clear your browser cache (Ctrl+Shift+R or Cmd+Shift+R) to ensure the new styles load.
  2. Test the Modal:

    • Open a page with a modal containing long content (e.g., "finance" or "stories" with multiple sections).
    • Verify there is only one scrollbar on the right of the browser window.
    • Confirm the top-right corner retains its rounded appearance, and the close button is accessible.
  3. Troubleshooting:

    • If multiple scrollbars persist, use the browser’s developer tools (right-click the modal, select "Inspect") to check for conflicting overflow or height styles (e.g., from Publii or inline CSS).
    • Share a screenshot of the inspected modal or any console errors if the issue remains.

This should eliminate the extra scrollbars while maintaining the desired layout. Let me know the outcome or if further adjustments are needed!


Q: That's great!! Here, I want to check another issue: From the attached image, you can see the heading inside the modal has HTML shown. I remember when we were talking about the CMS design, we have agreed to allow section headings to have custom colors and formats (i.e. Allow HTML) no matter they're directly accessed or inside a modal. Can you check whether pull-contents.php (Source available in this chat) is adhering to this requirement?


A: Thanks for sharing the issue! The attached image shows that the heading inside the modal is displaying raw HTML (e.g., <span style="color: red">Test</span> instead of rendering as "Test" in red). Based on our past agreement during the CMS design discussion, section headings should support custom colors and formats via HTML, whether accessed directly or within a modal. Let’s analyze pull-contents.php (Version 2.12) to check if it adheres to this requirement and propose a fix if needed.

Analysis of pull-contents.php (Version 2.12)

The script handles heading rendering in two contexts: direct page access and modal requests. Let’s examine the relevant sections:

  1. Direct Page Access (Non-Modal):

    • For standard page rendering (e.g., stories.php, finance.php), headings are output using htmlspecialchars() in most cases:
      echo "<h1 class=\"align-center\">" . htmlspecialchars($row['title']) . "</h1>";
      • This escapes HTML, converting <span style="color: red">Test</span> to literal text, preventing custom formatting.
    • Exception: In the FAQ section, it outputs $row['title'] directly without htmlspecialchars():
      echo "<h1 class=\"align-center faq-question\">" . $row['title'] . "</h1>";
      • This allows HTML, aligning with the agreement for direct access.
  2. Modal Rendering:

    • For modal requests ($is_modal_request = true), headings are also processed with htmlspecialchars():
      if (!empty($row['title'])) {
       echo "<h1 class=\"align-center\">" . htmlspecialchars($row['title']) . "</h1>";
      }
      • This escapes HTML, causing the same issue seen in the image where <span style="color: red">Test</span> is displayed as text instead of rendered.
  3. Agreement Violation:

    • The use of htmlspecialchars() on $row['title'] in both modal and non-modal contexts (except FAQ) prevents HTML from being rendered, contradicting the agreement to allow custom colors and formats (e.g., <span>, <b>, inline styles) in section headings.
    • The FAQ exception suggests the intent was to allow HTML, but this is inconsistent across the script.

Proposed Fix

To adhere to the agreement, we need to remove htmlspecialchars() from $row['title'] in both modal and non-modal rendering contexts (except where security requires escaping, which we’ll handle separately). This will allow HTML like <span style="color: red">Test</span> to render correctly. However, we must ensure this doesn’t introduce security risks (e.g., XSS from untrusted input), so we’ll assume the CMS admin interface sanitizes or restricts input to safe HTML.

Key Changes

  • Version Update: Changed to Version 2.13 to reflect the heading fix.
  • Removed htmlspecialchars() from $row['title']:
    • Updated all instances where $row['title'] is output in <h1> tags (e.g., lines ~210, ~280, ~370, ~480) to remove htmlspecialchars(), allowing HTML like <span style="color: red">Test</span> to render.
    • The FAQ section already allowed this, so no change was needed there.
  • Security Note: Since $row['title'] now accepts HTML, ensure the CMS admin interface (e.g., AppGini) sanitizes or restricts input to prevent XSS (e.g., limit to <span>, <b>, inline styles). If untrusted users can edit this field, consider adding a sanitization layer (e.g., using strip_tags() with allowed tags) before output.

Verification

  • Direct Access: Headings on pages like stories.php or finance.php should now render HTML (e.g., <span style="color: red">Test</span> as red "Test").
  • Modal Access: Modal headings fetched via data-modal-link (e.g., "finance.php?modal=1") should also render HTML correctly.
  • Test Case: Update a web_content record’s title to <span style="color: red">Test Heading</span> and check both direct and modal views.

Implementation Steps

  1. Replace pull-contents.php:

    • Save the updated code as pull-contents.php (Version 2.13).
    • Ensure the file permissions and path are correct.
  2. Test the Change:

    • Edit a web_content record in the admin interface, setting the title to <span style="color: red">Test Heading</span>.
    • Access the page directly (e.g., finance.php) and via a modal trigger.
    • Verify the heading renders as red "Test Heading" in both cases.
    • Enable DEBUG = true and check logs for any rendering issues.
  3. Security Check:

    • Confirm the admin interface restricts title input to safe HTML (e.g., only <span>, <b>, inline styles like color, font-weight).
    • If needed, add a sanitization function (e.g., sanitize_title($title)) before output:
      function sanitize_title($title) {
       return strip_tags($title, '<span><b>');
      }
      echo "<h1 class=\"align-center\">" . sanitize_title($row['title']) . "</h1>";

      This would require integrating the function into the script.

Conclusion

The original pull-contents.php (Version 2.12) did not fully adhere to the agreement due to htmlspecialchars() escaping HTML in headings outside the FAQ section. The updated Version 2.13 fixes this, aligning with the requirement to allow custom colors and formats in section headings for both direct and modal views. Test the changes and let me know if you encounter issues or need help with sanitization!
