shadowdao da558fd52d fix(builder): render template header/footer nested content in zone preview + export
TemplateModal's addTemplateComponents() built each template component via
React.createElement(Component, comp.props) without ever passing
comp.children, silently dropping every nested children array authored in
templates/definitions.ts (header/footer Container > Logo/Menu/TextBlock,
page Section > Heading/TextBlock/ButtonLink). The resulting Craft.js node had
nodes: [], so the header/footer zone preview (ZonePreview -> exportBodyHtml)
rendered as an empty strip, and published output was affected the same way.

Fix converts each TemplateComponent to a SerializedTreeNode and reuses
craft-tree.ts's buildNodeTree (sanitize -> flatten -> materialize) -- the
same tested tree pipeline already used for AI-generated content -- instead
of hand-rolling a React-element tree, since a naive nested-children fix via
parseReactElement crashes any component with an internal SHELL_INNER linked
canvas (Section/BackgroundSection/FormContainer) or linked columns
(ColumnLayout). Also fixes two latent bugs in buildNodeTree itself, only
surfaced by exercising it against a real Craft.js editor for the first time:
data.type must be the actual resolved component reference (not a string or
{resolvedName} object) for correct rendering, and the synthesized SHELL_INNER
node needs data.name set for actions.addNodeTree's own validation.

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

Components (22)

Category Components
Layout Container, Section, ColumnLayout (1-6 cols), BackgroundSection, HeaderZone, FooterZone
Basic Heading (H1-H6), TextBlock, ButtonLink, Navbar, Footer, Divider, Spacer
Media ImageBlock (upload/browse/drag-drop), VideoBlock (YouTube/Vimeo/direct/background)
