- Account for legacy `margin-right`, `padding` values when calculating column config - Map legacy `fixedwidthconfig` gap/margin to new column layout gutter setting - Preserve visual density (e.g. 3 items at 300px with 10px gap on 960px container = 3 columns with 10px gutter) - Import ALL i18n language variants (currently only imports German preferentially) - Set `default_language` from legacy user language field, `languages` array from found content **Files:** `app/api/migration/import-stream/route.ts`, `src/lib/legacy-layout-mapper.ts`

Link style settings are not stored or retieved properly. sometimes link decoration fails back to default (underline) even when the user had set none link colors are not allways stored or reflected by the ui also background colors for lightbox and burger overlay .. same inconstiencies here my suspicion is that all issues are related, its seems that n not all style settings are either stored or read, or applied/reflected by the ui properly note that we have text blocks and caption and or content in other blocks where linkstyle settings of saved style presets should apply the screenshot shows the burger overlay stettings panel, where the ui doesnt match the actual applied style

By starting the migration process my page's access war turned from "pro lifetime" to "pro trial".

when clicking burger icon on startpage, the custom bg color is not respected when set, always showing the primary color from theme

Description: When switching between edit and view mode, the page automatically jumps back to the top. This interrupts the workflow, especially when working on longer pages, as the user has to manually scroll back to the previous position each time. Suggested solution: Preserve the current scroll position when switching between edit and view mode. Benefit: This would create a smoother and more efficient workflow, especially for longer pages, by maintaining context and reducing unnecessary navigation. Optional enhancement: Make this behavior configurable (e.g. “preserve scroll position” vs. “always scroll to top”), allowing users to choose the behavior that best fits their workflow.

The slideshow mode does not run reliably. In some cases, the slideshow does not start at all. In other cases, it starts but stops after a few images (e.g. after 2–3 slides). This issue occurs inconsistently and affects both desktop and mobile devices.

## Summary Upgrade the invite flow to remove friction for admins, pre-fill invited user details, collect artistic profile data during signup, and deliver a personalized welcome experience on first login. ## Current vs. Planned | | Current | Planned | |---|---|---| | Admin invite | 3 steps (request → approve → send email) | 1 step (enter email → done) | | Email on signup | User types it manually | Pre-filled and locked from invite | | Signup questions | None (email/username/password only) | + artistic practice, website, social link | | First dashboard visit | Generic empty state | Personalized welcome banner | --- ## A. Admin Direct Invite **New endpoint:** `POST /api/admin/invite` Accepts `{ email, firstName? }`. In one step: 1. Validates caller is admin 2. Creates `invite_requests` row with `status: approved`, `source: admin_direct`, `invited_by: admin_user_id` 3. Generates invite code 4. Sends invite email with link `/auth/signup?invite=CODE` The existing request → approve → send flow stays intact for organic signups. **Database changes:** ```sql ALTER TABLE invite_requests ADD COLUMN invited_by UUID REFERENCES user_profiles(id), ADD COLUMN source TEXT DEFAULT 'request'; -- Values: request, admin_direct, user_referral (future) ``` --- ## B. Pre-filled Email on Signup When an invited user clicks `/auth/signup?invite=CODE`, the email is pre-filled from the invite record. **New RPC function:** `get_invite_by_code(code)` — returns the invite row including email. **Signup page:** Fetches invite details server-side, passes `inviteEmail` to AuthForm. Email field rendered as read-only: "Invited as maria@example.com". **Security:** On submit, verify signup email matches the invite record email. --- ## C. Pre-Signup Questionnaire Two-step signup flow. Step 1: credentials (email, username, password → Continue). Step 2: three questions (→ Create Account). ### Question 1: Artistic Practice (required, multi-select chips) | | | | | |---|---|---|---| | Photography | Illustration | Painting | Graphic Design | | Architecture | Fashion | Film & Video | Sculpture | | Digital Art | Mixed Media | Typography | Animation | | Music | Writing | Crafts | Other | Selecting "Other" shows a freetext input. ### Question 2: Website Link (optional) Text input. Placeholder: `https://your-portfolio.com` ### Question 3: Social Link (optional) Text input. Placeholder: `https://instagram.com/yourusername` Platform auto-detected from URL (instagram.com → instagram field, twitter.com → twitter field, etc.) ### Data Flow Questionnaire answers stored in `user_metadata` during the `signUp()` call. After email verification, the auth callback syncs metadata to `user_profiles`: - `artistic_practice` → new `TEXT[]` column - website → existing `website` column - social link → parsed to appropriate social column **Database changes:** ```sql ALTER TABLE user_profiles ADD COLUMN artistic_practice TEXT[]; ``` --- ## D. Post-Signup Welcome After email verification, redirect to `/{username}/dashboard?welcome=true`. **New component:** `WelcomeBanner` — shows above the empty dashboard bento grid: - "Welcome to Salon.io, Maria!" - If artistic practice known: "We're thrilled to have a fellow photographer on board." - Dismiss button removes the `?welcome=true` param --- ## E. Terms of Service Acceptance Currently there is no ToS acceptance anywhere in the signup flow. This must be added before public launch (March 13). ### Placement The ToS checkbox goes on Step 2 (questionnaire), right above the "Create Account" button: ``` Step 2: About You ┌─────────────────────────────────────┐ │ What do you create? [chips...] │ │ Website link [________] │ │ Social link [________] │ │ │ │ ☐ I agree to the Terms of Service │ │ and Privacy Policy │ │ │ │ [Create Account] │ └─────────────────────────────────────┘ ``` - Checkbox is **unchecked by default** (GDPR requirement — no pre-checked consent) - "Create Account" button disabled until checkbox is checked - "Terms of Service" and "Privacy Policy" are links to `/terms` and `/privacy` - Not a pre-checked box — must be an affirmative action by the user ### What Gets Stored On signup, the acceptance timestamp is included in `user_metadata`: ```typescript options: { data: { username, artistic_practice: [...], tos_accepted_at: new Date().toISOString(), // ISO 8601 tos_version: "2026-03-13", // Version of ToS accepted } } ``` After email verification, synced to `user_profiles`: ```sql ALTER TABLE user_profiles ADD COLUMN tos_accepted_at TIMESTAMPTZ, ADD COLUMN tos_version TEXT; ``` ### Why This Moment The ToS acceptance happens before account creation — before the user receives any value (the 100 SLN signup bonus from the SLN Ledger spec is credited on email confirmation, which comes after). This sequence ensures: 1. User agrees to terms (Step 2, checkbox) 2. Account is created (Supabase signUp) 3. User verifies email (confirmation link) 4. SLN bonus credited (+100 SLN) 5. User lands on dashboard (welcome banner) Legal consent is captured before any credits, subscriptions, or platform features are accessible. ### Legal Requirements (EU/GDPR) | Requirement | How we meet it | |---|---| | Affirmative consent | Unchecked checkbox, user must click | | Informed consent | Links to full ToS and Privacy Policy | | Proof of consent | `tos_accepted_at` timestamp + `tos_version` stored | | Version tracking | `tos_version` field tracks which version was accepted | | Re-consent on changes | When ToS version changes, prompt existing users to re-accept | --- ## New Files | File | Purpose | |---|---| | `app/api/admin/invite/route.ts` | Admin direct invite endpoint | | `src/components/SignupQuestionnaire.tsx` | Questionnaire UI (chips + inputs) | | `src/components/dashboard/WelcomeBanner.tsx` | Personalized welcome banner | | `src/config/artistic-practices.ts` | Category list constant | | `src/utils/social-link-parser.ts` | Detect platform from URL | | `supabase/migrations/YYYYMMDD_invite_flow_upgrade.sql` | Schema + RPC changes | ## Modified Files | File | Change | |---|---| | `src/components/AuthForm.tsx` | Two-step flow, `inviteEmail` prop, questionnaire integration | | `app/auth/signup/page.tsx` | Server-side invite lookup, pass email | | `app/auth/callback/page.tsx` | Sync metadata to profile, `?welcome=true` redirect | | `src/hooks/use-auth.ts` | Extend `signUp()` with questionnaire metadata | | `src/components/dashboard/EmptyDashboard.tsx` | Integrate WelcomeBanner | --- ## Implementation Sequence 1. Database migration (columns + RPC) 2. Config and utilities 3. Admin invite API 4. Signup page (server-side invite lookup) 5. AuthForm two-step flow + SignupQuestionnaire 6. use-auth hook extension 7. Auth callback (profile sync + welcome redirect) 8. WelcomeBanner component 9. Email template updates *Full spec: `new-salon-app/docs/ongoing/INVITE-FLOW-UPGRADE.md`*

Feedback from Founding member club-marignal: "Ich fände es auch cool, wenn das auf der Seite auftauchen würde. Z. B. im Footer anstatt dem Powered by new.salon.io, dafür mit kleiner Krone oder Pokal o. Ä. " could be default settings, on the two pro lifetime sites but founding members should be opt out.

there is a problem where Simple Footer disappears from mobile view. it shows on device preview, but on the actual device it doesnt.

Currently, background images can only be added via click-to-upload. Adding drag-and-drop functionality for background images would make the workflow much faster and more intuitive.

Currently, it is only possible to integrate video content via external embeds (e.g. YouTube or Vimeo). There is no option to use video files directly within layouts. This limits the ability to include moving image content in a simple and flexible way. Suggested solution: Allow the use of video files directly within layouts, either via upload or by linking to external sources. Benefit: This would make it possible to integrate moving image content more easily and flexibly, enhancing the visual possibilities and overall design of a page. As motion content has become a standard element in modern web design, this feature would align the tool with common expectations and evolving design practices.

In the previous version of Salon, the background image was visible in Lightbox mode, which helped maintain the visual context of the page. Currently, when opening images in the Lightbox view, the background image is not displayed. While it is possible to adjust the background color, there is no option to display the background image in this mode. Suggested solution: Enable the background image to be displayed in the Lightbox view. Benefit: This would preserve the overall visual design and atmosphere when viewing images in Lightbox mode, creating a more consistent and immersive user experience.

Currently, background colors can be selected using the built-in color picker (including hex input and predefined color options). However, it is not possible to pick a color directly from the canvas or from images within the workspace. This makes it difficult to match colors precisely when working with existing visual elements. Suggested solution: Add an eyedropper tool that allows users to sample colors directly from the canvas or uploaded images. Benefit: This would enable faster and more accurate color matching, improving design consistency and streamlining the workflow. It would also align the tool with standard functionality found in many design applications.

In the previous version of Salon, it was possible to create and adjust horizontal canvases with groups of images in just a few simple steps. This was very convenient and the layout option I used most. In the new version of Salon, the horizontal canvas option is only available in canvas mode. While this works great for many cases, it can be unnecessarily time-consuming for many common use cases. For example, if I want to arrange a series of images (e.g. 20 images of the same size with consistent spacing) in a horizontal row, doing this in canvas mode requires a lot of manual work. Any changes (such as size, spacing, or order) also have to be adjusted manually and individually for each image. Suggested solution: Enable horizontal canvas in fixed height layout mode, with flexible options for sizing and spacing. Benefit: This would allow for quick and efficient creation and adjustment of consistent horizontal image rows, while avoiding the manual overhead required in canvas mode. It would significantly improve workflow efficiency for common horizontal layout tasks.

When using the Canvas layout in combination with horizontal scrolling, the page frequently resets partially after closing the editor or switching between edit and preview modes. This results in multiple layout settings being changed or lost without user input. Examples of affected settings include: - Background color - Horizontal / vertical orientation - Overall layout size - Layout position - Lightbox (enabled/disabled) - Section width and padding Expected behavior: All layout settings should persist consistently after switching modes or reopening the page. Actual behavior: Various layout settings reset randomly, causing loss of work and requiring repeated adjustments. Impact: This is a critical issue, especially for complex layouts, as it can result in significant time loss and repeated manual reconfiguration.

When using the "Variable Size" layout option, the background image is displayed at a much larger scale than intended. The same background image behaves correctly in all other layout options, where it keeps the selected size. The issue only occurs when "Variable Size" is enabled.

we need a total reality check and overhaul of mobile and device preview. both are pretty much broken now whats expected is that when a user selects mobile device preview, a special panel in sidebar opens, with 3 main tabs section, navigation, style for every section the user should be able to select alternative layout type for mobile. note, that the user should not be able to edit content when in mobile preview mode, but only change/optimise a subset of settings for mobile display
