{ success: true, count: X, results: [...] }→ returns as-is - Unified Error:
{ success: false, error: "..." }→ throws error - Non-200 Status: Throws with error details
Data Flow & Lifecycle
1. Page Load Flow
Page Mount
→ loadImages() called in useEffect
→ fetchContentImages({})
→ API: GET /v1/writer/images/content_images/
↓
Response: {count: X, results: [ContentImagesGroup]}
← Parse & filter (client-side)
• Search filter
• Status filter
• Sort by title/status
• Paginate (10 per page)
→ setImages(paginatedResults)
→ setShowContent(true)
→ UI renders table with data
2. Image Generation Flow
User clicks "Generate Images" button for content
→ handleGenerateImages(contentId) triggered
→ Fetch max_in_article_images from settings
→ Build image queue from pending images
→ Open ImageQueueModal with queue
User clicks "Start Generation"
→ generateImages(imageIds, contentId) called
→ API: POST /v1/writer/images/generate_images/
↓
Returns task_id (Celery task)
← Modal starts polling for progress
• Updates progress bars per image
• Shows real-time generation status
Generation Complete
→ Modal closes
→ loadImages() called to refresh
→ Table shows generated images
3. Manual WordPress Publishing Flow
User clicks "Publish to WordPress" on a row
→ handleRowAction('publish_wordpress', row) triggered
→ Check conditions:
• row.status === 'published'
• No external_id OR No external_url
• sync_status !== 'published'
→ fetchAPI('/v1/publisher/publish/', {
method: 'POST',
body: {
content_id: row.content_id,
destinations: ['wordpress']
}
})
→ Backend: /api/v1/publisher/publish/
↓
Receives: {content_id: 42, destinations: ['wordpress']}
Calls: PublisherService.publish_content()
→ Finds Content object by ID
→ Maps content to WordPress post format
→ Creates/updates post via WordPress Bridge
→ Sets external_id, external_url, sync_status
Returns: {
success: true,
data: {
content_id: 42,
external_id: "5678",
external_url: "https://site.com/post-title",
sync_status: "published"
}
}
← Frontend receives response
→ toast.success('Published to WordPress')
→ loadImages() to refresh status
→ Table updates to show published status
4. Bulk WordPress Publishing Flow
User selects multiple items
→ Click "Publish Ready to WordPress"
→ handleBulkAction('bulk_publish_wordpress', ids) triggered
→ Filter items that are ready:
const readyItems = images
.filter(item => ids.includes(item.content_id))
.filter(item =>
item.status === 'published' &&
(!item.external_id || !item.external_url) &&
(!item.sync_status || item.sync_status !== 'published')
)
→ For each readyItem:
fetchAPI('/v1/publisher/publish/', {
method: 'POST',
body: {
content_id: item.content_id,
destinations: ['wordpress']
}
})
Track: successCount++, failedCount++
→ Show summary toast:
"Published X items, Y failed"
→ loadImages() to refresh all
5. Status Update Flow
User clicks "Update Status"
→ Modal opens for status selection
→ User selects: 'pending' | 'generated' | 'failed'
→ handleStatusUpdate(status) called
→ bulkUpdateImagesStatus(contentId, status)
→ API: POST /v1/writer/images/bulk_update/
{content_id: 42, status: 'generated'}
Returns: {updated_count: 4}
← Modal closes
→ toast.success('Updated 4 images')
→ loadImages() to refresh
WordPress Publishing System
Manual Publishing
Architecture
Frontend (Images Page)
└── handleRowAction('publish_wordpress', row)
└── fetchAPI('/v1/publisher/publish/', {...})
└── Backend Publisher Module
└── PublisherService.publish_content()
└── Content → WordPress Bridge
└── WordPress Site (via REST API)
└── WP Post Created/Updated
Conditions for Visibility
The "Publish to WordPress" button appears when ALL conditions are met:
-
Content Status:
row.status === 'published'- Content must be in published status internally
-
No WordPress Record:
!row.external_id || !row.external_url- Either no WordPress ID or no WordPress URL
- Allows re-publishing if one is missing
-
Not Already Synced:
!row.sync_status || row.sync_status !== 'published'- sync_status is not 'published'
- Allows re-sync if status changed
Request Structure
const response = await fetchAPI('/v1/publisher/publish/', {
method: 'POST',
body: JSON.stringify({
content_id: 42, // Content to publish
destinations: ['wordpress'] // Target platform
})
});
Response Structure
{
success: true,
data: {
content_id: 42,
external_id: "5678", // WordPress post ID
external_url: "https://site.com/p/5678/",
sync_status: "published", // Status after publishing
message: "Content published to WordPress"
},
request_id: "uuid"
}
Bulk Publishing
Flow
// Filter ready items
const readyItems = images
.filter(item => ids.includes(item.content_id))
.filter(item => item.status === 'published' &&
(!item.external_id || !item.external_url) &&
(!item.sync_status || item.sync_status !== 'published'))
// Publish each individually
for (const item of readyItems) {
try {
const response = await fetchAPI('/v1/publisher/publish/', {
method: 'POST',
body: JSON.stringify({
content_id: item.content_id,
destinations: ['wordpress']
})
})
if (response.success) {
successCount++
} else {
failedCount++
}
} catch (error) {
failedCount++
}
}
// Show results
if (successCount > 0) {
toast.success(`Published ${successCount} items`)
}
if (failedCount > 0) {
toast.warning(`${failedCount} failed`)
}
// Refresh to show updated status
loadImages()
Advantages of Individual Requests
- Error Isolation: Failure in one publish doesn't affect others
- Granular Tracking: Knows exactly which items succeeded/failed
- User Feedback: Can show detailed success/fail breakdown
- Partial Success: Users see partial results instead of total failure
Automated Publishing
Automatic Status Sync (Two-Way Sync)
The system includes automatic synchronization of content status between IGNY8 and WordPress:
Components
-
WordPress Bridge Plugin (
igny8-wp-integration)- Monitors WordPress post changes
- Syncs status back to IGNY8 API
- Location:
/includes/sync/hooks.php
-
IGNY8 Backend Sync Tasks (Celery)
- Periodic status checks
- Webhook receivers
- Status reconciliation
Sync Direction
IGNY8 → WordPress:
Content published in Writer
→ Publisher API called
→ WordPress Bridge receives payload
→ Post created/updated in WordPress
WordPress → IGNY8:
Post updated in WordPress (draft/publish/trash)
→ WordPress Hook triggered
→ Bridge syncs back via PUT /writer/tasks/{id}/
→ IGNY8 Content status updated
Sync Status Values
| Status | Meaning | Publishable? |
|---|---|---|
draft |
Not yet published to WordPress | Yes |
pending |
Awaiting review in WordPress | No |
published |
Live on WordPress | No (already published) |
synced |
Initial sync complete | No |
failed |
Publication failed | Yes (retry) |
Sync Functions
1. loadImages() - Main Refresh Function
const loadImages = useCallback(async () => {
setLoading(true);
setShowContent(false);
try {
// Fetch all content images
const data: ContentImagesResponse = await fetchContentImages({});
let filteredResults = data.results || [];
// Client-side search filter
if (searchTerm) {
filteredResults = filteredResults.filter(group =>
group.content_title?.toLowerCase().includes(searchTerm.toLowerCase())
);
}
// Client-side status filter
if (statusFilter) {
filteredResults = filteredResults.filter(group =>
group.overall_status === statusFilter
);
}
// Client-side sorting
filteredResults.sort((a, b) => {
let aVal: any = a.content_title;
let bVal: any = b.content_title;
if (sortBy === 'overall_status') {
aVal = a.overall_status;
bVal = b.overall_status;
}
if (aVal < bVal) return sortDirection === 'asc' ? -1 : 1;
if (aVal > bVal) return sortDirection === 'asc' ? 1 : -1;
return 0;
});
// Client-side pagination
const startIndex = (currentPage - 1) * pageSize;
const endIndex = startIndex + pageSize;
const paginatedResults = filteredResults.slice(startIndex, endIndex);
setImages(paginatedResults);
setTotalCount(filteredResults.length);
setTotalPages(Math.ceil(filteredResults.length / pageSize));
setTimeout(() => {
setShowContent(true);
setLoading(false);
}, 100);
} catch (error: any) {
console.error('Error loading images:', error);
toast.error(`Failed to load images: ${error.message}`);
setShowContent(true);
setLoading(false);
}
}, [currentPage, statusFilter, sortBy, sortDirection, searchTerm, toast]);
Called After:
- Page mount
- Search term changes
- Status filter changes
- Sort order changes
- Page navigation
- Publishing operations complete
- Status updates complete
2. handleStatusUpdate() - Status Change Handler
const handleStatusUpdate = useCallback(async (status: string) => {
if (!statusUpdateContentId) return;
setIsUpdatingStatus(true);
try {
const result = await bulkUpdateImagesStatus(statusUpdateContentId, status);
toast.success(`Successfully updated ${result.updated_count} image(s) status to ${status}`);
setIsStatusModalOpen(false);
setStatusUpdateContentId(null);
setStatusUpdateRecordName('');
// Reload images to reflect the changes
loadImages();
} catch (error: any) {
toast.error(`Failed to update status: ${error.message}`);
} finally {
setIsUpdatingStatus(false);
}
}, [statusUpdateContentId, toast, loadImages]);
Flow:
- User opens status modal
- Selects new status
- API call to update all images for content
- Refresh table to show changes
3. Site/Sector Change Listeners
useEffect(() => {
const handleSiteChange = () => {
loadImages();
};
const handleSectorChange = () => {
loadImages();
};
window.addEventListener('siteChanged', handleSiteChange);
window.addEventListener('sectorChanged', handleSectorChange);
return () => {
window.removeEventListener('siteChanged', handleSiteChange);
window.removeEventListener('sectorChanged', handleSectorChange);
};
}, [loadImages]);
Purpose: Auto-refresh when user switches site or sector
4. Debounced Search
useEffect(() => {
const timer = setTimeout(() => {
if (currentPage === 1) {
loadImages();
} else {
setCurrentPage(1); // Reset to page 1
}
}, 500); // Wait 500ms after user stops typing
return () => clearTimeout(timer);
}, [searchTerm, currentPage, loadImages]);
Purpose: Avoid excessive API calls during search input
Error Handling
Unified Error Response Format
All API errors follow the unified format:
{
success: false,
error: "Human-readable error message",
errors: {
field_name: ["Field-specific error"]
},
request_id: "uuid"
}
Error Types Handled
| Error Type | Handling | User Feedback |
|---|---|---|
| Network Error | Caught by fetchAPI | "Network error: Unable to reach API" |
| 401 Unauthorized | Token refresh attempted | Auto-retry or "Session expired" |
| 403 Forbidden | Authentication check failed | "Permission denied" |
| 404 Not Found | Resource doesn't exist | "Content not found" |
| 422 Validation | Invalid request data | "Invalid input: {field details}" |
| 500 Server Error | Backend exception | "Server error occurred" |
| Timeout | Request > 30 seconds | "Request timeout" |
Error Handling in Publishing
try {
const response = await fetchAPI('/v1/publisher/publish/', {
method: 'POST',
body: JSON.stringify({
content_id: item.content_id,
destinations: ['wordpress']
})
});
if (response.success) {
successCount++;
} else {
// Unified error format
console.warn(`Failed: ${response.error}`);
failedCount++;
}
} catch (error: any) {
// Network or unknown error
console.error('Error publishing:', error);
failedCount++;
}
Performance Optimizations
1. Client-Side Processing
- Search: Filtered in memory, not via API
- Sorting: Local array sort, no API call
- Pagination: 10 items per page, loaded once
- Status Filter: In-memory filtering
Benefit: Faster UX, no additional API calls
2. Memoization
// Prevent unnecessary re-renders
const pageConfig = useMemo(() => {
return createImagesPageConfig({...});
}, [searchTerm, statusFilter, maxInArticleImages, ...]);
const headerMetrics = useMemo(() => {
return pageConfig.headerMetrics.map(...);
}, [pageConfig?.headerMetrics, images, totalCount]);
3. Debouncing
// 500ms delay on search to avoid API thrashing
useEffect(() => {
const timer = setTimeout(() => {
loadImages();
}, 500);
return () => clearTimeout(timer);
}, [searchTerm, ...]);
4. Lazy Loading (Potential)
// Could implement virtual scrolling for 1000+ items
// Currently: Fixed page size of 10 items
5. Caching (Backend)
The API automatically caches:
- Content images (5-minute TTL)
- Image generation settings (server-side)
- Site metadata

Key Implementation Decisions
1. Unified Publishing Endpoint
Decision: Use existing /v1/publisher/publish/ instead of custom WordPress endpoints
Rationale:
- Follows IGNY8 unified API standard
- Supports multiple destinations (WordPress, Sites Renderer, etc.)
- Centralized publishing logic
- Easier to extend
2. Client-Side Processing
Decision: Perform search, filter, sort, paginate on client
Rationale:
- Faster response (no API round-trips)
- Better UX for small datasets (< 1000 items)
- Works offline
- Reduces server load
3. Individual Bulk Publishes
Decision: Loop and call API individually for bulk operations
Rationale:
- Error isolation (one failure doesn't affect others)
- Granular progress tracking
- User sees partial success
- Easier error reporting
4. Automatic Status Sync
Decision: Refresh data after publish operations
Rationale:
- Ensures UI reflects latest server state
- Shows WordPress sync status
- Catches errors from background tasks
- User sees immediate feedback

Common Issues

| Publishing succeeds but data not updated | Need to refresh | loadImages() called, wait for refresh |
| Images not loading | Site/sector not selected | Select site in header |
| API 401 error | Token expired | Should auto-refresh, check auth store |
