Eval 2026-11-01: "Build my home page following the layout of the attached
mockup" came back as scope "site", and confirming replaced every page. The
editor now decides from what the owner asked (sitesmith/replace-plan.ts):
- scope "site" is honoured (with the existing confirm) only for an explicit
whole-site request ("build me a website", "the whole site", "every page",
"a 4 page site"); otherwise the first page replaces the current page and a
note says so.
- the shared header/footer are replaced with a page only when they are still
the untouched starter ones ("MySite" + "Get Started") AND the owner says yes
in a new dialog mode ("Use the new header and footer" / "Keep my header and
footer"); customised chrome is always kept, with a note.
- the editor sends chrome_default:true so the backend can let the model
restyle the starter chrome on a page request.

WHP Site Builder v2
A visual drag-and-drop website builder for WHP, rebuilt from the ground up with Craft.js, React 18, and TypeScript. Replaces the legacy GrapesJS-based editor.
Quick Start
npm install
npm run dev
Opens at http://localhost:5173. The editor runs in standalone mode without WHP integration.
Build and Deploy
# Build production bundle
npm run build
# Deploy to WHP
cp dist/index.html /docker/whp/web/site-builder/editor.html
cp -r dist/js/ /docker/whp/web/site-builder/js/
cp -r dist/css/ /docker/whp/web/site-builder/css/
The PHP wrapper (index.php) injects WHP_CONFIG (user session, CSRF token, site ID) into the HTML before serving.
Architecture
- Craft.js - React-based visual editor framework (no iframe, direct DOM rendering)
- Inline styles - All user content uses React CSSProperties, no class-based CSS
- Component pattern - Each component is a self-contained file with: render logic, settings panel, Craft.js config, and HTML export method
- 3-panel layout - Left (blocks/pages/layers/assets), Center (canvas with device preview), Right (styles/settings/head)
- Dark theme - CSS custom properties, Inter font, blue accent
