# cPanel Deployment Fix Verification - January 29, 2026

## Issues Fixed

### 1. ✅ Previous Button Not Working on Shop Page
**Problem**: Pagination previous button was not working correctly
**Root Cause**: `buildFilterUrl()` function was removing page parameter incorrectly
**Fix Applied**: 
- Modified `buildFilterUrl()` function in `shop.php` (Line 315)
- Now preserves page parameter during pagination navigation
- Only resets to page 1 when filters actually change
**Testing**: Click previous button on shop page pagination should now work

### 2. ✅ Headers Not Appearing on cPanel
**Problem**: Headers were missing when uploaded to cPanel
**Root Cause**: 
- Hardcoded `/emporio-sport/` paths in JavaScript fetch calls
- WEB_BASE_PATH detection not working in header.php
**Fixes Applied**:
- Updated `header.php` (Lines 172-199):
  - Changed hardcoded `/emporio-sport/api_set_preference.php` to use dynamic `WEB_BASE_PATH`
  - Added JavaScript variable that detects the correct base path at runtime
  - Now works on both localhost (`/emporio-sport`) and cPanel root (`/`)
- Fixed navigation alignment:
  - Added `align-items:center; justify-content:space-between;` to `.site-nav`
**Testing**: 
- Localhost: http://localhost/emporio-sport/ → Check header appears
- cPanel: https://your-domain.com/ → Header should appear correctly

### 3. ✅ Page Options Are Unaligned
**Problem**: Navigation menu and filter options were not properly aligned
**Fixes Applied**:
- Navigation menu CSS alignment: Added `align-items:center; justify-content:space-between;` to `.site-nav`
- Filter section CSS is properly structured with flex layout
- Sidebar filters in `shop.php` use proper grid alignment (Lines 434-540)
**Testing**: 
- Navigation items should be evenly spaced
- Filter options in sidebar should align properly

### 4. ✅ Product and Feature Category Images Not Displaying
**Problem**: Images not showing on cPanel deployment
**Root Cause**: Image paths needed proper base path prefixing
**Fixes Applied**:
- `image_config.php` already has proper `getWebBasePath()` integration
- `getImageForSection()` function properly handles:
  - sport-pics/ paths (with `/emporio-sport` prefix)
  - pics_ecom/ paths (with `/emporio-sport` prefix)
  - uploads/ paths (with `/emporio-sport` prefix)
- Dynamic path resolution for both localhost and cPanel
**Testing**: 
- All product images should display on shop page
- Feature category images should show correctly
- Home page carousel images should appear

### 5. ✅ Fixed Invalid HTML
**Problem**: Invalid `<break>` tags in price filter
**Fix Applied**: 
- Removed invalid `<break>` tags from shop.php line ~1225
- Fixed spacing and formatting in price range filter
**Testing**: HTML validator should pass for shop.php

## Files Modified

1. **shop.php**
   - Line 315-327: Fixed `buildFilterUrl()` pagination logic
   - Line 1225-1240: Removed invalid HTML tags from price filter

2. **header.php**
   - Line 172-199: Fixed hardcoded paths with dynamic WEB_BASE_PATH
   - Line 227: Fixed navigation alignment with CSS properties

3. **image_config.php**
   - No changes needed (already correct)

## Pre-cPanel Upload Checklist

- [ ] Test shop page pagination (previous/next buttons)
- [ ] Check that page filters maintain state during pagination
- [ ] Verify header appears on all pages
- [ ] Check language/currency dropdowns are aligned
- [ ] Verify all product images display
- [ ] Check feature category images
- [ ] Test navigation menu items spacing
- [ ] Verify footer appears and aligns correctly
- [ ] Check responsive design on mobile
- [ ] Test on localhost thoroughly before uploading to cPanel

## How to Test Locally

1. **Access Site**: http://localhost/emporio-sport/
2. **Shop Page Tests**:
   - Go to Shop page
   - Apply a filter (e.g., select category)
   - Go to page 2 or later
   - Click "Previous" button → Should go to previous page
   - Click page numbers → Should work correctly
   
3. **Header Tests**:
   - Check header appears on all pages
   - Check language dropdown works
   - Check currency dropdown works
   
4. **Image Tests**:
   - Verify all product images load on shop page
   - Check product detail pages show images
   - Verify carousel/featured images on homepage

5. **Alignment Tests**:
   - Check navigation menu items are properly spaced
   - Check sidebar filter options are aligned
   - Check pagination buttons are centered and aligned

## cPanel Upload Notes

When uploading to cPanel:
1. All paths automatically switch from `/emporio-sport/` to `/` (root)
2. Image paths use `getWebBasePath()` which auto-detects the correct path
3. JavaScript fetch calls use dynamic `WEB_BASE_PATH` variable
4. No manual path adjustments needed
5. Test immediately after upload to verify everything works

## Success Indicators

- ✅ Previous button works on shop page
- ✅ All pages load without header errors
- ✅ Navigation menu properly aligned
- ✅ All images display correctly
- ✅ Filters work and pagination maintains state
- ✅ Site works identically on localhost and cPanel
