# ✅ CRITICAL BUG FIXED - Homepage Content Restored

## Problem That Occurred
When uploading carousel images, the entire homepage content disappeared.

## Root Cause Identified
The `saveUploadedFile()` function in DatabaseHelper returns an array with structure:
```php
[
    'success' => true,
    'filename' => 'uploads/...',
    'path' => 'C:\\xampp\\...'
]
```

But the carousel saving code was assigning this entire array directly to the image path instead of extracting just the `filename` string. This corrupted the carousel.json file, breaking the page layout.

**Corrupted data looked like:**
```json
"image": {
    "success": true,
    "filename": "uploads/upload_1769597405_6979e9dd19b77.jpg",
    "path": "C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\emporio-sport\\helpers/../uploads/upload_1769597405_6979e9dd19b77.jpg"
}
```

**Fixed data looks like:**
```json
"image": "uploads/upload_1769597405_6979e9dd19b77.jpg"
```

## What Was Fixed

### 1. admin_manage_carousel.php
**Fixed image path extraction:**
```php
// BEFORE (Wrong - saves entire array):
$uploadedPath = DatabaseHelper::saveUploadedFile($_FILES["cat_image_file_$i"]);
if ($uploadedPath) {
    $imagePath = $uploadedPath;  // ❌ Saves array, not filename
}

// AFTER (Correct - extracts filename string):
$uploadResult = DatabaseHelper::saveUploadedFile($_FILES["cat_image_file_$i"]);
if (is_array($uploadResult) && !empty($uploadResult['success']) && !empty($uploadResult['filename'])) {
    $imagePath = $uploadResult['filename'];  // ✅ Saves only filename string
} elseif (is_string($uploadResult)) {
    $imagePath = $uploadResult;
}
```

### 2. admin_manage_category_carousel.php
**Applied same fix:**
```php
// Same pattern - properly extract filename from array returned by saveUploadedFile()
$uploadResult = DatabaseHelper::saveUploadedFile($_FILES["cat_image_file_$i"]);
if (is_array($uploadResult) && !empty($uploadResult['success']) && !empty($uploadResult['filename'])) {
    $imagePath = $uploadResult['filename'];
}
```

### 3. carousel.json (Data File)
**Restored from corrupted state:**
- Changed all image objects back to simple strings
- From: `"image": { "success": true, "filename": "...", "path": "..." }`
- To: `"image": "uploads/upload_1769597405_6979e9dd19b77.jpg"`

## Result
✅ Homepage content is now restored
✅ Carousel displays properly
✅ Image uploads work correctly
✅ File path saved as string, not array

## How to Use Now
1. Go to admin_manage_carousel.php
2. Upload an image file
3. Click Save
4. Image path is now correctly saved as: `uploads/filename.jpg`
5. Homepage displays carousel images properly
