+## API Usage Examples
+
+### Publish Content Immediately
+
+**Request:**
+```bash
+POST /api/v1/publisher/publish/
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{
+ "content_id": 123,
+ "destinations": ["wordpress"] # or ["shopify"], ["custom"]
+}
+```
+
+**Success Response:**
+```json
+{
+ "success": true,
+ "data": {
+ "success": true,
+ "results": [
+ {
+ "destination": "wordpress",
+ "success": true,
+ "external_id": "456",
+ "url": "https://mysite.com/article-title/",
+ "publishing_record_id": 789,
+ "platform_type": "wordpress"
+ }
+ ]
+ }
+}
+```
+
+**Error Response:**
+```json
+{
+ "success": false,
+ "error": "Publishing API error: Invalid credentials"
+}
+```
+
+### Schedule Content for Future Publishing
+
+**Request:**
+```bash
+POST /api/v1/writer/content/123/schedule/
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{
+ "scheduled_publish_at": "2025-01-20T09:00:00Z"
+}
+```
+
+**Response:**
+```json
+{
+ "success": true,
+ "scheduled_publish_at": "2025-01-20T09:00:00Z",
+ "site_status": "scheduled"
+}
+```
+
+**Notes:**
+- Content `site_status` changes from `not_published` → `scheduled`
+- Celery task `process_scheduled_publications` will publish at scheduled time
+- Runs every 5 minutes, so publishing happens within 5 min of scheduled time
+
+### Reschedule Content
+
+**Request:**
+```bash
+POST /api/v1/writer/content/123/reschedule/
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{
+ "scheduled_at": "2025-01-21T10:00:00Z"
+}
+```
+
+**Response:**
+```json
+{
+ "success": true,
+ "scheduled_publish_at": "2025-01-21T10:00:00Z",
+ "site_status": "scheduled"
+}
+```
+
+**Use Cases:**
+- Reschedule from `site_status='scheduled'` (change time)
+- Reschedule from `site_status='failed'` (retry at new time)
+
+### Unschedule Content
+
+**Request:**
+```bash
+POST /api/v1/writer/content/123/unschedule/
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{}
+```
+
+**Response:**
+```json
+{
+ "success": true,
+ "message": "Content unscheduled successfully",
+ "site_status": "not_published"
+}
+```
+
+**Notes:**
+- Removes content from publishing queue
+- Content returns to `site_status='not_published'`
+- Can be rescheduled or published immediately later
+
+### Bulk Schedule with Site Defaults
+
+**Request:**
+```bash
+POST /api/v1/writer/content/bulk_schedule/
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{
+ "content_ids": [123, 124, 125, 126],
+ "use_site_defaults": true,
+ "site_id": 45
+}
+```
+
+**Response:**
+```json
+{
+ "success": true,
+ "scheduled_count": 4,
+ "schedule_preview": [
+ {
+ "content_id": 123,
+ "scheduled_at": "2025-01-17T09:00:00Z",
+ "title": "First Article"
+ },
+ {
+ "content_id": 124,
+ "scheduled_at": "2025-01-17T09:15:00Z",
+ "title": "Second Article"
+ },
+ {
+ "content_id": 125,
+ "scheduled_at": "2025-01-17T09:30:00Z",
+ "title": "Third Article"
+ },
+ {
+ "content_id": 126,
+ "scheduled_at": "2025-01-17T09:45:00Z",
+ "title": "Fourth Article"
+ }
+ ],
+ "site_settings": {
+ "base_time": "09:00 AM",
+ "stagger_interval": 15,
+ "timezone": "America/New_York"
+ }
+}
+```
+
+**Notes:**
+- Uses site's default publishing schedule from Site Settings
+- Automatically staggers publications (e.g., 15 min intervals)
+- No limit on number of items (unlike direct publish which is limited to 5)
+- All items set to `site_status='scheduled'`
+
+### Bulk Schedule Preview (Before Confirming)
+
+**Request:**
+```bash
+POST /api/v1/writer/content/bulk_schedule_preview/
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{
+ "content_ids": [123, 124, 125],
+ "site_id": 45
+}
+```
+
+**Response:**
+```json
+{
+ "schedule_preview": [
+ {"content_id": 123, "scheduled_at": "2025-01-17T09:00:00Z", "title": "Article 1"},
+ {"content_id": 124, "scheduled_at": "2025-01-17T09:15:00Z", "title": "Article 2"},
+ {"content_id": 125, "scheduled_at": "2025-01-17T09:30:00Z", "title": "Article 3"}
+ ],
+ "site_settings": {
+ "base_time": "09:00 AM",
+ "stagger_interval": 15,
+ "timezone": "America/New_York",
+ "publish_days": ["mon", "tue", "wed", "thu", "fri"]
+ }
+}
+```
+
+**Use Case:**
+- Show user what times items will be scheduled before confirming
+- Allow user to adjust site settings if needed
+- User clicks "Confirm" to execute actual bulk_schedule

+# Publishing Modals - Developer Documentation
+
+**Last Updated**: January 2026
+**Status**: Production
+**Audience**: Frontend Developers, System Architects
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+This document provides technical documentation for the publishing modal components system. These modals provide real-time progress feedback for content publishing operations across multiple platforms (WordPress, Shopify, Custom Sites).
+
+**Design Pattern**: Follows the existing `ImageQueueModal` pattern for consistency.
+
+---
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Component Hierarchy
+
+```
+PublishingProgressModal (single item)
+ └─ Uses: Progress animation, status stages, error handling
+
+BulkPublishingModal (multiple items)
+ └─ Uses: Queue state management, sequential processing
+ └─ PublishingProgressModal logic per item
+
+PublishLimitModal (validation)
+ └─ Simple informational modal
+
+ScheduleContentModal (date/time picker)
+ └─ Date/time selection, validation
+
+BulkScheduleModal (manual scheduling)
+ └─ Single date/time for all items
+
+BulkSchedulePreviewModal (site defaults)
+ └─ Preview schedule based on site settings
+```
+
+### State Management
+
+**Local Component State**: Used for modal-specific data
+- Modal open/close
+- Progress tracking
+- Error states
+- Queue items
+
+**Parent Page State**: Manages content list and selected items
+- Content array
+- Selected IDs
+- Refresh triggers
+
+**No Global State**: No Redux/Zustand needed for current implementation
+
+---
+
+## 1. PublishingProgressModal
+
+### Purpose
+
+Shows real-time progress for publishing a single content item to a site (WordPress, Shopify, or Custom).
+
+### File Location
+
+```
+frontend/src/components/common/PublishingProgressModal.tsx
+```
+
+### Props Interface
+
+```typescript
+interface PublishingProgressModalProps {
+ isOpen: boolean;
+ onClose: () => void;
+ content: {
+ id: number;
+ title: string;
+ };
+ site: {
+ id: number;
+ name: string;
+ platform_type: 'wordpress' | 'shopify' | 'custom';
+ };
+ onSuccess?: (publishedUrl: string, externalId: string) => void;
+ onError?: (error: string) => void;
+}
+```
+
+### State Interface
+
+```typescript
+interface PublishingProgressState {
+ contentId: number;
+ contentTitle: string;
+ siteName: string;
+ platformType: string;
+ status: 'preparing' | 'uploading' | 'processing' | 'finalizing' | 'completed' | 'failed';
+ progress: number; // 0-100
+ statusMessage: string;
+ error: string | null;
+ externalUrl: string | null;
+ externalId: string | null;
+}
+```
+
+### Progress Stages
+
+| Stage | Progress | Duration | Description |
+|-------|----------|----------|-------------|
+| Preparing | 0-25% | 2.5s | Validating content structure |
+| Uploading | 25-50% | Variable | POST request to platform API |
+| Processing | 50-75% | 1s | Handling platform response |
+| Finalizing | 75-100% | 0.8s | Updating content record |
+
+### Progress Animation Logic
+
+```typescript
+const animateProgress = (start: number, end: number, duration: number) => {
+ const steps = Math.ceil(duration / 100); // Update every 100ms
+ const increment = (end - start) / steps;
+ let currentProgress = start;
+
+ const interval = setInterval(() => {
+ currentProgress += increment;
+ if (currentProgress >= end) {
+ setProgress(end);
+ clearInterval(interval);
+ } else {
+ setProgress(Math.round(currentProgress));
+ }
+ }, 100);
+
+ return () => clearInterval(interval);
+};
+```
+
+### API Integration
+
+**Endpoint**: `POST /api/v1/publisher/publish/`
+
+**Request Payload**:
+```typescript
+{
+ content_id: number;
+ destinations: ['wordpress' | 'shopify' | 'custom']; // Based on site.platform_type
+}
+```
+
+**Success Response**:
+```typescript
+{
+ success: true;
+ data: {
+ success: true;
+ results: [
+ {
+ destination: string; // 'wordpress', 'shopify', or 'custom'
+ success: true;
+ external_id: string;
+ url: string;
+ publishing_record_id: number;
+ platform_type: string;
+ }
+ ]
+ }
+}
+```
+
+**Error Response**:
+```typescript
+{
+ success: false;
+ error: string; // User-friendly error message
+}
+```
+
+### Publishing Flow
+
+```typescript
+const handlePublish = async () => {
+ try {
+ // Stage 1: Preparing (0-25%)
+ setStatus('preparing');
+ setStatusMessage('Validating content...');
+ animateProgress(0, 25, 2500);
+ await wait(2500);
+
+ // Stage 2: Uploading (25-50%)
+ setStatus('uploading');
+ setStatusMessage(`Uploading to ${site.name}...`);
+ setProgress(25);
+
+ const response = await fetchAPI('/v1/publisher/publish/', {
+ method: 'POST',
+ body: JSON.stringify({
+ content_id: content.id,
+ destinations: [site.platform_type]
+ })
+ });
+
+ // Stage 3: Processing (50-75%)
+ setStatus('processing');
+ setStatusMessage('Processing response...');
+ animateProgress(50, 75, 1000);
+ await wait(1000);
+
+ if (response.success && response.data?.results?.[0]?.success) {
+ const result = response.data.results[0];
+
+ // Stage 4: Finalizing (75-100%)
+ setStatus('finalizing');
+ setStatusMessage('Finalizing...');
+ animateProgress(75, 100, 800);
+ await wait(800);
+
+ // Success
+ setStatus('completed');
+ setProgress(100);
+ setExternalUrl(result.url);
+ setExternalId(result.external_id);
+ setStatusMessage('Published successfully!');
+
+ onSuccess?.(result.url, result.external_id);
+ } else {
+ throw new Error(response.error || 'Publishing failed');
+ }
+ } catch (error) {
+ setStatus('failed');
+ setProgress(0);
+ setError(error.message);
+ setStatusMessage('Publishing failed');
+ onError?.(error.message);
+ }
+};
+```
+
+### Error Handling
+
+**Display Error State**:
+```typescript
+{status === 'failed' && (
+
+
+
+
+
Publishing Failed
+
{error}
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+)}
+```
+
+**Retry Logic**:
+```typescript
+const handleRetry = () => {
+ setError(null);
+ setProgress(0);
+ handlePublish();
+};
+```
+
+### Success State
+
+```typescript
+{status === 'completed' && (
+
+
+
+
+
+ Published Successfully!
+
+
+ Content is now live on {siteName}
+
+
+
+
+ {externalUrl && (
+
+ )}
+
+)}
+```
+
+### Modal Control
+
+**Cannot Close During Publishing**:
+```typescript
+const canClose = status === 'completed' || status === 'failed' || status === null;
+
+
+ {/* Modal content */}
+
+ {canClose && (
+
+ )}
+
+```
+
+---
+
+## 2. BulkPublishingModal
+
+### Purpose
+
+Publishes multiple content items sequentially with individual progress tracking for each item.
+
+### File Location
+
+```
+frontend/src/components/common/BulkPublishingModal.tsx
+```
+
+### Props Interface
+
+```typescript
+interface BulkPublishingModalProps {
+ isOpen: boolean;
+ onClose: () => void;
+ contentItems: Array<{
+ id: number;
+ title: string;
+ }>;
+ site: {
+ id: number;
+ name: string;
+ platform_type: 'wordpress' | 'shopify' | 'custom';
+ };
+ onComplete?: (results: PublishResult[]) => void;
+}
+
+interface PublishResult {
+ contentId: number;
+ success: boolean;
+ externalUrl?: string;
+ externalId?: string;
+ error?: string;
+}
+```
+
+### Queue Item State
+
+```typescript
+interface PublishQueueItem {
+ contentId: number;
+ contentTitle: string;
+ index: number; // Display as 1-based
+ status: 'pending' | 'processing' | 'completed' | 'failed';
+ progress: number; // 0-100
+ statusMessage: string;
+ error: string | null;
+ externalUrl: string | null;
+ externalId: string | null;
+}
+```
+
+### Sequential Processing
+
+**Why Sequential?**
+- Avoid overwhelming platform APIs
+- Easier error tracking
+- Respects rate limits
+- Better UX (clear progress)
+
+**Implementation**:
+```typescript
+const processBulkPublish = async () => {
+ const queue: PublishQueueItem[] = contentItems.map((item, index) => ({
+ contentId: item.id,
+ contentTitle: item.title,
+ index: index + 1,
+ status: 'pending',
+ progress: 0,
+ statusMessage: 'Pending',
+ error: null,
+ externalUrl: null,
+ externalId: null,
+ }));
+
+ setQueue(queue);
+
+ // Process sequentially
+ for (let i = 0; i < queue.length; i++) {
+ await processQueueItem(i);
+ }
+
+ setAllComplete(true);
+ onComplete?.(queue.map(item => ({
+ contentId: item.contentId,
+ success: item.status === 'completed',
+ externalUrl: item.externalUrl,
+ externalId: item.externalId,
+ error: item.error,
+ })));
+};
+
+const processQueueItem = async (index: number) => {
+ // Update to processing
+ updateQueueItem(index, {
+ status: 'processing',
+ progress: 0,
+ statusMessage: 'Preparing...',
+ });
+
+ try {
+ // Animate 0-25%
+ await animateQueueItemProgress(index, 0, 25, 2500);
+
+ // API call
+ updateQueueItem(index, {
+ progress: 25,
+ statusMessage: `Uploading to ${site.name}...`,
+ });
+
+ const response = await fetchAPI('/v1/publisher/publish/', {
+ method: 'POST',
+ body: JSON.stringify({
+ content_id: queue[index].contentId,
+ destinations: [site.platform_type]
+ })
+ });
+
+ // Animate 25-50%
+ await animateQueueItemProgress(index, 25, 50, 500);
+
+ if (response.success && response.data?.results?.[0]?.success) {
+ const result = response.data.results[0];
+
+ // Animate to completion
+ updateQueueItem(index, {
+ progress: 50,
+ statusMessage: 'Finalizing...',
+ });
+ await animateQueueItemProgress(index, 50, 100, 1000);
+
+ // Success
+ updateQueueItem(index, {
+ status: 'completed',
+ progress: 100,
+ statusMessage: 'Published',
+ externalUrl: result.url,
+ externalId: result.external_id,
+ });
+ } else {
+ throw new Error(response.error || 'Unknown error');
+ }
+ } catch (error) {
+ updateQueueItem(index, {
+ status: 'failed',
+ progress: 0,
+ statusMessage: 'Failed',
+ error: error.message,
+ });
+ }
+};
+```
+
+### Queue UI Rendering
+
+```typescript
+
+ {queue.map((item) => (
+
+ {/* Header */}
+
+
+
+ {item.index}.
+
+
+ {item.contentTitle}
+
+
+
+ {/* Status Icon */}
+
+ {item.status === 'completed' && (
+
+ )}
+ {item.status === 'processing' && (
+
+ )}
+ {item.status === 'failed' && (
+
+ )}
+ {item.status === 'pending' && (
+
+ )}
+
+ {item.progress}%
+
+
+
+
+ {/* Progress Bar */}
+
+
+ {/* Status Message */}
+
{item.statusMessage}
+
+ {/* Success: Published URL */}
+ {item.status === 'completed' && item.externalUrl && (
+
+ View on {site.name}
+
+
+ )}
+
+ {/* Error: Message + Retry */}
+ {item.status === 'failed' && (
+
+
{item.error}
+
+
+ )}
+
+ ))}
+
+
+{/* Summary */}
+
+
+ {completedCount} completed, {failedCount} failed, {pendingCount} pending
+
+
+```
+
+### Retry Individual Item
+
+```typescript
+const retryQueueItem = async (index: number) => {
+ // Reset item state
+ updateQueueItem(index, {
+ status: 'pending',
+ progress: 0,
+ statusMessage: 'Retrying...',
+ error: null,
+ });
+
+ // Process again
+ await processQueueItem(index);
+};
+```
+
+---
+
+## 3. PublishLimitModal
+
+### Purpose
+
+Informs user when they try to bulk publish more than 5 items and suggests scheduling instead.
+
+### File Location
+
+```
+frontend/src/components/common/PublishLimitModal.tsx
+```
+
+### Props Interface
+
+```typescript
+interface PublishLimitModalProps {
+ isOpen: boolean;
+ onClose: () => void;
+ selectedCount: number;
+ onScheduleInstead: () => void;
+}
+```
+
+### Implementation
+
+```typescript
+const PublishLimitModal: React.FC = ({
+ isOpen,
+ onClose,
+ selectedCount,
+ onScheduleInstead,
+}) => {
+ return (
+
+
+ {/* Icon */}
+
+
+ {/* Title */}
+
+ Publishing Limit Exceeded
+
+
+ {/* Message */}
+
+ You can publish only 5 content pages directly.
+
+
+ You have selected {selectedCount} items.
+
+
+ {/* Options Box */}
+
+
Options:
+
+ - Deselect items to publish 5 or fewer
+ - Use "Schedule Selected" to schedule all items
+
+
+
+
+ Tip: Scheduling has no limit and uses your site's default publishing schedule.
+
+
+
+
+ {/* Actions */}
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ );
+};
+```
+
+### Usage in Parent Component
+
+```typescript
+// In Approved.tsx
+const [showPublishLimitModal, setShowPublishLimitModal] = useState(false);
+
+const handleBulkPublishClick = () => {
+ const selectedCount = selectedIds.length;
+
+ // Validate: Max 5 items
+ if (selectedCount > 5) {
+ setShowPublishLimitModal(true);
+ return;
+ }
+
+ // Proceed with bulk publish
+ setShowBulkPublishingModal(true);
+};
+
+const handleScheduleInstead = () => {
+ setShowPublishLimitModal(false);
+ // Open bulk schedule modal with site defaults
+ handleBulkScheduleWithDefaults();
+};
+
+// In JSX
+ setShowPublishLimitModal(false)}
+ selectedCount={selectedIds.length}
+ onScheduleInstead={handleScheduleInstead}
+/>
+```
+
+---
+
+## 4. ScheduleContentModal
+
+### Purpose
+
+Allows user to schedule or reschedule a single content item for future publishing.
+
+### File Location
+
+```
+frontend/src/components/common/ScheduleContentModal.tsx
+```
+
+### Props Interface
+
+```typescript
+interface ScheduleContentModalProps {
+ isOpen: boolean;
+ onClose: () => void;
+ content: {
+ id: number;
+ title: string;
+ scheduled_publish_at?: string | null; // ISO8601 datetime if rescheduling
+ };
+ mode: 'schedule' | 'reschedule';
+ onSchedule: (contentId: number, scheduledDate: string) => Promise;
+}
+```
+
+### State
+
+```typescript
+const [selectedDate, setSelectedDate] = useState(getInitialDate());
+const [selectedTime, setSelectedTime] = useState(getInitialTime());
+const [isSubmitting, setIsSubmitting] = useState(false);
+
+const getInitialDate = () => {
+ if (mode === 'reschedule' && content.scheduled_publish_at) {
+ return new Date(content.scheduled_publish_at);
+ }
+ // Default: Tomorrow
+ const tomorrow = new Date();
+ tomorrow.setDate(tomorrow.getDate() + 1);
+ return tomorrow;
+};
+
+const getInitialTime = () => {
+ if (mode === 'reschedule' && content.scheduled_publish_at) {
+ const date = new Date(content.scheduled_publish_at);
+ return format(date, 'hh:mm a');
+ }
+ return '09:00 AM'; // Default
+};
+```
+
+### Validation
+
+```typescript
+const validateSchedule = () => {
+ const scheduledDateTime = combineDateAndTime(selectedDate, selectedTime);
+ const now = new Date();
+
+ if (scheduledDateTime <= now) {
+ toast.error('Scheduled time must be in the future');
+ return false;
+ }
+
+ return true;
+};
+```
+
+### Submit Handler
+
+```typescript
+const handleSchedule = async () => {
+ if (!validateSchedule()) return;
+
+ const scheduledDateTime = combineDateAndTime(selectedDate, selectedTime);
+
+ setIsSubmitting(true);
+ try {
+ await onSchedule(content.id, scheduledDateTime.toISOString());
+ toast.success(
+ mode === 'reschedule'
+ ? 'Rescheduled successfully'
+ : `Scheduled for ${formatScheduledTime(scheduledDateTime)}`
+ );
+ onClose();
+ } catch (error) {
+ toast.error(`Failed to ${mode}: ${error.message}`);
+ } finally {
+ setIsSubmitting(false);
+ }
+};
+```
+
+### UI Implementation
+
+```typescript
+
+
+ {/* Title */}
+
+ {mode === 'reschedule' ? 'Reschedule Content' : 'Schedule Content'}
+
+
+ {/* Content Info */}
+
+
Content:
+
{content.title}
+
+
+ {/* Date Picker */}
+
+
+
+
+
+ {/* Time Picker */}
+
+
+
+
+
+ {/* Preview */}
+
+
Preview:
+
+ {formatPreview(selectedDate, selectedTime)}
+
+
+
+ {/* Actions */}
+
+
+
+
+
+
+```
+

+
+## 5. Integration Patterns
+
+### Parent Component Setup (Approved.tsx)
+
+```typescript
+const Approved = () => {
+ // State
+ const [content, setContent] = useState([]);
+ const [selectedIds, setSelectedIds] = useState([]);
+ const [showPublishingModal, setShowPublishingModal] = useState(false);
+ const [showBulkPublishingModal, setShowBulkPublishingModal] = useState(false);
+ const [showPublishLimitModal, setShowPublishLimitModal] = useState(false);
+ const [showScheduleModal, setShowScheduleModal] = useState(false);
+ const [publishingContent, setPublishingContent] = useState(null);
+ const [isRescheduling, setIsRescheduling] = useState(false);
+
+ const { activeSite } = useSiteStore();
+
+ // Handlers
+ const handlePublishSingle = (content: Content) => {
+ setPublishingContent(content);
+ setShowPublishingModal(true);
+ };
+
+ const handleBulkPublishClick = () => {
+ if (selectedIds.length > 5) {
+ setShowPublishLimitModal(true);
+ return;
+ }
+ setShowBulkPublishingModal(true);
+ };
+
+ const handleScheduleContent = async (contentId: number, scheduledDate: string) => {
+ const endpoint = isRescheduling ? 'reschedule' : 'schedule';
+ await fetchAPI(`/v1/writer/content/${contentId}/${endpoint}/`, {
+ method: 'POST',
+ body: JSON.stringify({
+ scheduled_publish_at: scheduledDate
+ })
+ });
+ await loadContent(); // Refresh list
+ };
+
+ const openScheduleModal = (content: Content, reschedule = false) => {
+ setPublishingContent(content);
+ setIsRescheduling(reschedule);
+ setShowScheduleModal(true);
+ };
+
+ // JSX
+ return (
+ <>
+ {/* Content table */}
+
+
+ {/* Modals */}
+ {publishingContent && (
+ <>
+ {
+ setShowPublishingModal(false);
+ setPublishingContent(null);
+ }}
+ content={publishingContent}
+ site={activeSite}
+ onSuccess={() => loadContent()}
+ />
+
+ {
+ setShowScheduleModal(false);
+ setPublishingContent(null);
+ setIsRescheduling(false);
+ }}
+ content={publishingContent}
+ mode={isRescheduling ? 'reschedule' : 'schedule'}
+ onSchedule={handleScheduleContent}
+ />
+ >
+ )}
+
+ setShowBulkPublishingModal(false)}
+ contentItems={getSelectedContent()}
+ site={activeSite}
+ onComplete={() => loadContent()}
+ />
+
+ setShowPublishLimitModal(false)}
+ selectedCount={selectedIds.length}
+ onScheduleInstead={handleBulkScheduleWithDefaults}
+ />
+ >
+ );
+};
+```
+
+---
+
+## 6. Testing Guidelines
+
+### Unit Testing
+
+**Test Progress Animation**:
+```typescript
+describe('PublishingProgressModal - Progress Animation', () => {
+ it('should animate from 0 to 25% in 2.5 seconds', async () => {
+ const { getByRole } = render();
+ const progressBar = getByRole('progressbar');
+
+ expect(progressBar).toHaveAttribute('aria-valuenow', '0');
+
+ await waitFor(() => {
+ expect(progressBar).toHaveAttribute('aria-valuenow', '25');
+ }, { timeout: 3000 });
+ });
+});
+```
+
+**Test Error Handling**:
+```typescript
+describe('PublishingProgressModal - Error Handling', () => {
+ it('should display error and retry button on failure', async () => {
+ const mockFetch = jest.fn().mockRejectedValue(new Error('API Error'));
+
+ const { getByText, getByRole } = render(
+
+ );
+
+ await waitFor(() => {
+ expect(getByText(/API Error/i)).toBeInTheDocument();
+ expect(getByRole('button', { name: /retry/i })).toBeInTheDocument();
+ });
+ });
+});
+```
+
+### Integration Testing
+
+**Test Full Publishing Flow**:
+```typescript
+describe('Approved Page - Publishing Integration', () => {
+ it('should publish single content with progress modal', async () => {
+ const { getByText, getByRole } = render();
+
+ // Click publish on first item
+ const publishButton = getByText(/publish now/i);
+ fireEvent.click(publishButton);
+
+ // Modal opens
+ expect(getByText(/Publishing Content/i)).toBeInTheDocument();
+
+ // Wait for completion
+ await waitFor(() => {
+ expect(getByText(/Published Successfully/i)).toBeInTheDocument();
+ });
+
+ // Close modal
+ fireEvent.click(getByRole('button', { name: /close/i }));
+
+ // Content list refreshed
+ expect(mockLoadContent).toHaveBeenCalled();
+ });
+});
+```
+
+### E2E Testing (Playwright/Cypress)
+
+```typescript
+test('bulk publish with limit validation', async ({ page }) => {
+ await page.goto('/writer/approved');
+
+ // Select 6 items
+ const checkboxes = page.locator('[type="checkbox"]');
+ for (let i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
+ await checkboxes.nth(i).check();
+ }
+
+ // Click bulk publish
+ await page.click('button:has-text("Publish to Site")');
+
+ // Limit modal appears
+ await expect(page.locator('text=Publishing Limit Exceeded')).toBeVisible();
+ await expect(page.locator('text=You have selected 6 items')).toBeVisible();
+
+ // Click "Schedule Selected"
+ await page.click('button:has-text("Schedule Selected")');
+
+ // Bulk schedule preview modal appears
+ await expect(page.locator('text=Schedule 6 Articles')).toBeVisible();
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+## 7. Performance Considerations
+
+### Optimization Strategies
+
+1. **Progress Animation**: Use requestAnimationFrame for smoother animations
+2. **Queue Rendering**: Virtualize list if > 20 items
+3. **API Calls**: Implement request cancellation on modal close
+4. **State Updates**: Batch setState calls with useReducer
+5. **Memory Leaks**: Clear all intervals/timeouts on unmount
+
+### Example: Optimized Progress Animation
+
+```typescript
+const useProgressAnimation = (start: number, end: number, duration: number) => {
+ const [progress, setProgress] = useState(start);
+ const animationRef = useRef();
+ const startTimeRef = useRef();
+
+ useEffect(() => {
+ startTimeRef.current = performance.now();
+
+ const animate = (currentTime: number) => {
+ const elapsed = currentTime - (startTimeRef.current || 0);
+ const percentage = Math.min(elapsed / duration, 1);
+ const currentProgress = start + (end - start) * percentage;
+
+ setProgress(Math.round(currentProgress));
+
+ if (percentage < 1) {
+ animationRef.current = requestAnimationFrame(animate);
+ }
+ };
+
+ animationRef.current = requestAnimationFrame(animate);
+
+ return () => {
+ if (animationRef.current) {
+ cancelAnimationFrame(animationRef.current);
+ }
+ };
+ }, [start, end, duration]);
+
+ return progress;
+};
+```
+
+---
+
+## 8. Common Pitfalls
+
+### 1. Not Clearing Intervals
+
+**Problem**: Intervals continue after component unmounts
+```typescript
+// ❌ Bad
+useEffect(() => {
+ const interval = setInterval(() => {
+ setProgress(p => p + 1);
+ }, 100);
+}, []);
+
+// ✅ Good
+useEffect(() => {
+ const interval = setInterval(() => {
+ setProgress(p => p + 1);
+ }, 100);
+
+ return () => clearInterval(interval);
+}, []);
+```
+
+### 2. Race Conditions
+
+**Problem**: Multiple API calls interfere with each other
+```typescript
+// ❌ Bad
+const handlePublish = async () => {
+ const result = await fetchAPI(...);
+ setResult(result); // May be stale if called multiple times
+};
+
+// ✅ Good
+const handlePublish = async () => {
+ const abortController = new AbortController();
+
+ try {
+ const result = await fetchAPI(..., { signal: abortController.signal });
+ setResult(result);
+ } catch (error) {
+ if (error.name === 'AbortError') return;
+ handleError(error);
+ }
+
+ return () => abortController.abort();
+};
+```
+
+### 3. Not Handling Modal Backdrop Clicks
+
+**Problem**: User can close modal during publishing
+```typescript
+// ❌ Bad
+
+
+// ✅ Good
+
+```
+
+---
+

+# Content Publishing Workflow Guide
+
+**Last Updated**: January 2026
+**Status**: Production
+**Audience**: Content Editors, Publishers, Site Administrators
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+This guide covers the complete content publishing workflow, from content creation through multi-platform publishing (WordPress, Shopify, Custom Sites). The system supports both immediate publishing and scheduled publishing with progress tracking and error recovery.
+
+---
+
+## Publishing Workflow States
+
+### Content Status Flow
+
+```
+Draft → Review → Approved → Published
+```
+
+- **Draft**: Content is being written/edited
+- **Review**: Content submitted for review by editors
+- **Approved**: Content approved and ready for publishing
+- **Published**: Content successfully published to site
+
+### Site Publishing Status
+
+- **not_published**: Content has never been published
+- **scheduled**: Content scheduled for future publishing
+- **publishing**: Currently being published (in-progress)
+- **published**: Successfully published to site
+- **failed**: Publishing attempt failed (needs retry/reschedule)
+
+---
+
+## 1. Publishing from Approved Page
+
+### Single Content Publishing
+
+**Steps:**
+1. Navigate to **Writer → Approved**
+2. Find the content you want to publish
+3. Click the **3-dot menu** on the content row
+4. Select **"Publish Now"**
+5. Publishing progress modal appears with real-time status:
+ - 📄 Preparing content (0-25%)
+ - 🚀 Uploading to site (25-50%)
+ - ⚙️ Processing response (50-75%)
+ - ✓ Finalizing (75-100%)
+6. On success:
+ - Green checkmark displayed
+ - "View on [Site Name]" button available
+ - Content marked as published
+7. On failure:
+ - Error message displayed
+ - **Retry** button available
+ - **Close** button to exit
+
+**Features:**
+- Real-time progress tracking
+- Platform-agnostic (works with WordPress, Shopify, Custom sites)
+- Automatic error recovery
+- Direct link to published content
+- No limit on single item publishing
+
+### Bulk Publishing (Max 5 Items)
+
+**Steps:**
+1. Navigate to **Writer → Approved**
+2. Select 2-5 content items using checkboxes
+3. Click **"Publish to Site"** button at top
+4. Bulk publishing modal shows queue with individual progress bars
+5. Items process sequentially (one at a time)
+6. Each item shows:
+ - Progress bar (0-100%)
+ - Current status (Preparing/Uploading/Processing/Finalizing)
+ - Success: Green checkmark + published URL
+ - Failure: Red X + error message + Retry button
+7. Summary at bottom: "X completed, Y failed, Z pending"
+8. Cannot close modal until all items complete
+
+**Publishing Limit:**
+- **Direct bulk publish**: Maximum 5 items at once
+- **Reason**: Prevents server overload and API rate limiting
+- **For more items**: Use "Schedule Selected" instead (no limit)
+
+**If you select 6+ items:**
+```
+⚠️ Publishing Limit Exceeded Modal appears:
+- Shows you selected X items (over 5 limit)
+- Options:
+ 1. Deselect items to publish ≤5
+ 2. Use "Schedule Selected" instead (no limit)
+- Tip: Scheduling is better for large batches
+```
+
+---
+
+## 2. Scheduling Content
+
+### Manual Scheduling (Single Item)
+
+**Steps:**

+- Opens Schedule Content Modal
+- Pick new date/time
+- Content re-queued with status = 'scheduled'
+- Celery will retry at new scheduled time
+
+**Option 3: Fix Site Settings**
+- Click **"Fix Site Settings"** button
+- Opens Site Settings → Publishing tab
+- Check API credentials, domain, platform settings
+- Return to content and retry
+
+### Common Error Types
+
+| Error | Cause | Solution |
+|-------|-------|----------|
+| Invalid credentials | API key wrong/expired | Update API key in Site Settings |
+| 403 Forbidden | Permissions issue | Check user role in site admin |
+| Network timeout | Site unreachable | Check domain, retry later |
+| Missing required field | Content incomplete | Edit content, fill required fields |
+| Rate limit exceeded | Too many requests | Reschedule with longer intervals |
+| Platform-specific error | WordPress/Shopify API issue | Check error details, consult platform docs |
+
+---
+
+## 5. Publishing to Multiple Platform Types
+
+### Supported Platforms
+
+1. **WordPress Sites**
+ - Uses WordPress REST API
+ - Requires Application Password
+ - Supports posts, pages, custom post types
+ - Categories and tags automatically synced
+
+2. **Shopify Sites**
+ - Uses Shopify Admin API
+ - Requires API key and password
+ - Supports products, blog posts, pages
+ - Collections automatically assigned
+
+3. **Custom Sites**
+ - Uses custom REST API endpoint
+ - Flexible authentication
+ - Configurable field mapping
+ - Platform-agnostic error handling
+
+### Platform Configuration
+
+**Go to**: Sites → [Your Site] → Settings
+
+**Required Fields:**
+- **Platform Type**: Select WordPress / Shopify / Custom
+- **Domain**: Your site URL (e.g., https://mysite.com)
+- **API Key**: Platform-specific authentication key
+- **Additional Settings**: Varies by platform
+
+**WordPress Example:**
+```
+Platform Type: WordPress
+Domain: https://myblog.com
+API Key: xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx
+Username: admin
+```
+
+**Shopify Example:**
+```
+Platform Type: Shopify
+Domain: https://mystore.myshopify.com
+API Key: shpat_xxxxxxxxxxxx
+Password: shppa_xxxxxxxxxxxx
+```
+
+### Publishing Behavior by Platform
+
+All platforms use the same unified publishing interface:
+- Same progress modal
+- Same error handling
+- Same scheduling system
+- Platform differences handled automatically in backend
+
+---
+
+## 6. Review Page Workflow (Approval Only)
+
+### Important: No Publishing from Review
+
+**Review Page Purpose**: Content approval workflow only
+
+**Available Actions:**
+- ✅ Approve (single or bulk)
+- ✅ View content
+- ✅ Edit content
+- ✅ Delete content
+- ❌ ~~Publish to Site~~ (removed)
+
+**Why?**
+- Ensures content goes through proper approval workflow
+- Prevents accidental publishing of unreviewed content
+- Clear separation: Review → Approve → Publish
+
+**Workflow:**
+```
+1. Writer creates content (Draft)
+2. Writer submits for review (Review)
+3. Editor reviews and approves (Approved)
+4. Publisher publishes from Approved page (Published)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 7. Best Practices
+
+### When to Publish Immediately
+
+- ✅ Time-sensitive content (news, announcements)
+- ✅ Small batches (1-5 items)
+- ✅ Testing new content types
+- ✅ Urgent fixes or updates
+
+### When to Use Scheduling
+
+- ✅ Large batches (6+ items)
+- ✅ Content with planned publish dates
+- ✅ Avoiding rate limits
+- ✅ Publishing during optimal times
+- ✅ Automated publishing workflows
+- ✅ Content calendar planning
+
+### Scheduling Tips
+
+1. **Use Site Defaults**: Let system handle timing automatically
+2. **Stagger Publications**: 15-30 minute intervals reduce load
+3. **Check Timezone**: Ensure site timezone matches your expectations
+4. **Plan Ahead**: Schedule content days/weeks in advance
+5. **Monitor Failures**: Check failed items daily, fix issues promptly
+6. **Test First**: Publish 1-2 items manually before bulk scheduling
+
+### Error Prevention
+
+1. **Verify Credentials**: Test site connection before bulk operations
+2. **Check Content Quality**: Ensure all required fields filled
+3. **Validate Images**: Confirm images uploaded and accessible
+4. **Review Platform Requirements**: WordPress categories, Shopify collections, etc.
+5. **Monitor Rate Limits**: Don't schedule too many items at once
+6. **Backup Content**: Export content before large publishing operations
+
+---
+
+## 8. Troubleshooting
+
+### Problem: Publishing is slow
+
+**Solution:**
+- Check network connection
+- Verify site is responsive
+- Use scheduling instead of bulk publish
+- Check site server performance
+
+### Problem: All items failing with same error
+
+**Solution:**
+- Check Site Settings → API credentials
+- Verify domain is correct and accessible
+- Test site connection manually
+- Check platform API status (WordPress.org, Shopify status page)
+
+### Problem: Items stuck in "publishing" status
+
+**Solution:**
+- Backend may be processing
+- Wait 5-10 minutes (Celery runs every 5 min)
+- Check backend logs for errors
+- Contact system administrator if persists
+
+### Problem: Schedule times are wrong timezone
+
+**Solution:**
+- Go to Site Settings → Publishing
+- Set correct timezone for your site
+- Reschedule affected items
+- Future schedules will use correct timezone
+
+### Problem: Cannot see published content on site
+
+**Solution:**
+- Click "View on [Site Name]" link to verify URL
+- Check site visibility settings (not private/draft)
+- Clear site cache if using caching plugin
+- Verify content published to correct site
+- Check platform-specific visibility settings
+
+### Problem: Bulk publish limit blocking my workflow
+
+**Solution:**
+- Use "Schedule Selected" instead (no limit)
+- Set up site default schedule for automation
+- Or select ≤5 items at a time for immediate publishing

+# Publishing Progress & Scheduling UX - Implementation Summary
+
+**Date Completed**: January 16, 2026
+**Plan Reference**: `PUBLISHING-PROGRESS-AND-SCHEDULING-UX-PLAN.md`
+**Status**: ✅ **COMPLETE** (95%)
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+Successfully implemented a comprehensive publishing and scheduling UX enhancement across the igny8 platform. The implementation adds real-time progress tracking, intelligent publishing limits, and flexible scheduling capabilities for multi-platform content publishing (WordPress, Shopify, Custom Sites).
+
+**Key Achievements:**
+- ✅ 6 new modal components created
+- ✅ Platform-agnostic publishing workflow
+- ✅ 5-item direct publish limit with unlimited scheduling
+- ✅ Site settings integration for bulk scheduling
+- ✅ Failed content recovery UI
+- ✅ Complete documentation suite
+- ✅ Zero TypeScript errors
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Status by Phase
+
+### ✅ Phase 1: Publishing Progress Modals (100%)
+
+**Components Created:**
+1. **PublishingProgressModal.tsx** - Single content publishing with 4-stage progress
+2. **BulkPublishingModal.tsx** - Queue-based bulk publishing (max 5 items)
+3. **PublishLimitModal.tsx** - Validation modal for 6+ item selections
+
+**Features Delivered:**
+- Real-time progress tracking (Preparing → Uploading → Processing → Finalizing)
+- Smooth progress animations (0-100%)
+- Success state with "View on [Site Name]" link
+- Error state with retry capability
+- Platform-agnostic design (works with WordPress, Shopify, Custom)
+- Sequential processing for bulk operations
+- Per-item progress bars in bulk modal
+- Summary statistics (X completed, Y failed, Z pending)
+
+**Integration Points:**
+- Approved.tsx: Single and bulk publish actions
+- Uses existing fetchAPI utility
+- Site store for active site context
+- Toast notifications for feedback
+
+**Status:** ✅ All components exist, no TypeScript errors
+
+---
+
+### ✅ Phase 2: Remove Publish from Review (100%)
+
+**Changes Made:**
+- Removed `handlePublishSingle()` function from Review.tsx
+- Removed `handlePublishBulk()` function from Review.tsx
+- Removed "Publish to WordPress" from row actions
+- Removed "Publish to Site" bulk action button
+- Updated primary action to "Approve" only
+
+**Workflow Impact:**
+```
+OLD: Review → Publish directly (bypassing approval)
+NEW: Review → Approve → Approved → Publish
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Enforces proper content approval workflow
+- Prevents accidental publishing of unreviewed content
+- Clear separation of concerns
+- Aligns with editorial best practices
+
+**Status:** ✅ Review page now approval-only
+
+---
+
+### ✅ Phase 3: Scheduling UI in Approved Page (100%)
+
+**Components Created:**
+1. **ScheduleContentModal.tsx** - Manual date/time scheduling
+2. **BulkScheduleModal.tsx** - Manual bulk scheduling
+3. **BulkSchedulePreviewModal.tsx** - Site defaults preview with confirmation
+
+**Features Delivered:**
+- Schedule single content for future publishing
+- Reschedule existing scheduled content
+- Unschedule content (cancel schedule)
+- Bulk scheduling with site default settings
+- Schedule preview before confirmation
+- Link to Site Settings → Publishing tab
+- No limit on scheduled items (unlike direct publish)
+
+**API Integration:**
+- `POST /api/v1/writer/content/{id}/schedule/` - Schedule content
+- `POST /api/v1/writer/content/{id}/reschedule/` - Reschedule content
+- `POST /api/v1/writer/content/{id}/unschedule/` - Cancel schedule
+- `POST /api/v1/writer/content/bulk_schedule/` - Bulk schedule with defaults
+- `POST /api/v1/writer/content/bulk_schedule_preview/` - Preview before confirm
+
+**Row Actions by Status:**
+- `not_published`: Publish Now, Schedule
+- `scheduled`: Reschedule, Unschedule, Publish Now
+- `failed`: Publish Now, Reschedule
+- `published`: View on [Site Name]
+
+**Bulk Scheduling Flow:**
+1. User selects 10+ items (no limit)
+2. Clicks "Schedule Selected"
+3. Preview modal shows:
+ - Site's default schedule time (e.g., 9:00 AM)
+ - Stagger interval (e.g., 15 minutes)
+ - Calculated times for each item
+4. User can "Change Settings" (opens Site Settings in new tab)
+5. User confirms → All items scheduled
+
+**Status:** ✅ Full scheduling UI implemented
+
+---
+
+### ⚠️ Phase 4: Failed Content Handling (90%)
+
+**Features Implemented:**
+- Failed content section in ContentCalendar.tsx
+- Red error badge display
+- Original scheduled time shown
+- Error message display (truncated)
+- "Reschedule" button for failed items
+- "Publish Now" button for failed items
+- Retry logic integrated
+
+**Known Issues:**
+- Site filtering may not work correctly (bug from Phase 4)
+- Failed items may not load properly (data loading bug)
+- These bugs were attempted to fix but need user verification
+
+**Fixes Applied (Pending Verification):**
+- Added `site_id` to ContentFilter fields
+- Added `site_status` to ContentFilter fields
+- Fixed useEffect dependencies in ContentCalendar.tsx
+- Added debug logging for data loading
+
+**Status:** ⚠️ UI complete, data loading needs verification
+
+---
+
+### ✅ Phase 5: Content Calendar Enhancements (100%)
+
+**Features Delivered:**
+- Edit Schedule button (pencil icon) on scheduled items
+- Opens ScheduleContentModal with pre-filled date/time
+- Failed items section at top of calendar
+- Reschedule button for failed items
+- Maintains existing drag-and-drop scheduling
+
+**Integration:**
+- ContentCalendar.tsx updated with:
+ - ScheduleContentModal import
+ - State management for scheduling
+ - Edit handlers (`handleRescheduleContent`, `openRescheduleModal`)
+ - Schedule modal integration
+ - Failed items section rendering
+
+**Status:** ✅ Calendar enhancements complete
+
+---

+## Key Features Summary
+
+### Publishing Limits & Validation
+
+**Direct Bulk Publish: Max 5 Items**
+- Reason: Prevent server overload, API rate limiting
+- Validation: Shows PublishLimitModal when 6+ selected
+- Options: Deselect items OR use "Schedule Selected"
+- Single publish (3-dot menu): No limit (only 1 item)
+
+**Scheduling: Unlimited Items**
+- No limit on scheduled items
+- Uses site default settings
+- Better for large batches (10+ items)
+- Automatic stagger intervals
+
+### Platform Support
+
+**Fully Supported:**
+- ✅ WordPress (REST API)
+- ✅ Shopify (Admin API)
+- ✅ Custom Sites (Custom API)
+
+**Platform-Agnostic Design:**
+- UI uses generic "site" terminology
+- Action names: "Publish to Site" (not "Publish to WordPress")
+- Site name displayed everywhere (not platform type)
+- Platform-specific logic abstracted in backend
+
+### Workflow States
+
+**Content Status:**
+- Draft → Review → Approved → Published
+
+**Site Status:**
+- not_published → scheduled → publishing → published
+- not_published → scheduled → publishing → failed → [retry/reschedule]

+
+## Migration Notes
+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+**None** - All changes are additive:
+- New components don't replace existing ones
+- API endpoints are new (no changes to existing endpoints)
+- Review page changes are behavioral (remove publish capability)
+- All existing functionality preserved
+
+### Database Changes
+
+**None required** - Uses existing fields:
+- `Content.site_status` (already exists)
+- `Content.scheduled_publish_at` (already exists)
+- `PublishingSettings` (already exists)
+
+### Deployment Steps
+
+1. **Frontend Deploy:**
+ ```bash
+ cd frontend
+ npm run build
+ # Deploy build artifacts
+ ```
+
+2. **Verify Celery Tasks Running:**
+ ```bash
+ # Check Celery Beat is running
+ celery -A igny8_core inspect active
+
+ # Verify scheduled tasks
+ celery -A igny8_core inspect scheduled
+ ```
+
+3. **Test in Production:**
+ - Schedule test content
+ - Wait 5+ minutes
+ - Verify content published
+ - Check logs for errors
+
+---
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+1. **Publishing is Synchronous**
+ - Direct publish blocks until complete
+ - May take 5-30 seconds per item
+ - Mitigated by: Progress modal provides feedback
+
+2. **Scheduling Precision**
+ - Celery runs every 5 minutes
+ - Actual publish time within 5 min of scheduled time
+ - Acceptable for most use cases
+
+3. **Bulk Publish Limit (5 items)**
+ - By design to prevent server overload
+ - Users can schedule unlimited items instead
+ - Single item publish has no limit
+
+4. **Phase 4 Bugs (Pending Fix)**
+ - Site filtering may not work
+ - Failed items may not display
+ - Fixes applied, need verification
+
+---
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+### Suggested for v2.0
+
+1. **Advanced Scheduling**
+ - Recurring schedules (every Monday at 9 AM)
+ - Optimal timing suggestions (AI-based)
+ - Bulk schedule spread (evenly distribute over time range)
+
+2. **Publishing Queue Management**
+ - Pause/resume queue
+ - Reorder queue items
+ - Priority flags
+
+3. **Multi-Site Publishing**
+ - Publish to multiple sites simultaneously
+ - Cross-post to blog + social media
+ - Site group management
+
+4. **Advanced Error Handling**
+ - Auto-retry with exponential backoff
+ - Error pattern detection
+ - Pre-flight health checks
+
+5. **Analytics Integration**
+ - Publishing success/failure rates
