# movmaker-webui (MVL)

PHP web UI for publishing and managing MVLog videos on **bubulescu.org**.

## Production location

- Web root: `/var/www/html/mvlog`
- Public URLs:
  - `https://bubulescu.org/`
  - `https://bubulescu.org/new.php`
  - `https://bubulescu.org/login.php`
  - `https://bubulescu.org/feed.php`
  - `https://bubulescu.org/contact.php`

## Main structure

- `index.php` — public landing page (rendered videos and permalink pages)
- `new.php` — authenticated admin UI
- `feed.php` — RSS feed
- `contact.php` — contact form
- `auth.php` — session auth helpers
- `config.php` — app config
- `style.css` — shared styles
- `_header.php`, `_footer.php`, `_footer_admin.php` — shared layout includes

Important dirs:

- `in-dir/` — input/article dirs
- `out-dir/` — rendered videos and article OG images (`<article_id>_og.jpg`)
- `thumbs/` — legacy thumbnail cache / cleanup dir
- `cache/` — metadata/search/push caches

## Public page (`index.php`)

- Randomized header title text (`<h1>`), fixed HTML title `MVL`
- Header actions: notifications, RSS, contact
- Search supports:
  - general keyword (title/teaser/quote_da/description)
  - `date=...`
  - `location=...` / `place=...`
- Case-insensitive + accent-insensitive matching
- Shows title/date/location/teaser/description/quote_da
- Article permalinks use `?id=<article_id>`; filename fallback is no longer used
- Permalink pages hide the bottom page numbers
- Optional map image per video (hidden when source article has `.mvlog-hide-map`)
- Video posters are resolved from the source image recorded in the thumbnail sidecar JSON; if the source image is missing, the `<video>` gets no poster
- Permalink OG/Twitter images use `out-dir/<article_id>_og.jpg` when present; otherwise they fall back to `https://bubulescu.org/assets/img/bubulescuorg.jpg`

## Admin (`new.php`)

Requires login via PHP session.

Tabs:
- **New** — create input dirs + upload media
- **Edit** — edit metadata/media/order/toggles
- **Videos** — manage orphan output videos

Implemented behavior:

- Article identity uses `.mvlog-id` / `article_id` as the stable canonical ID; legacy dir-name fallback only applies to older entries that are missing the ID
- Draft metadata is read/written from `in-dir/<job>/data.txt`
- Supports metadata fields: `title`, `teaser`, `quote_da`, `date`, `place`, `description`
- Manual media reordering via `order.json` (AJAX action `reorder_file`)
- Per-article toggles:
  - Preview (`set_preview`)
  - Render (`set_enabled`)
  - Show (`set_visible`)
  - Hide map (`set_map_hidden` -> `.mvlog-hide-map`)
- `Save changes` always regenerates the map PNG(s) for the article on every press, via `bin/gpsmap.py`
- Map regeneration logs are written to `/var/log/mvlog_map.log`
- Custom video poster selection uses the source image recorded in `<output>_thumb.json`; if the source image is missing, no poster file is used
- `set_video_thumb` also writes an article-specific OG image to `out-dir/<article_id>_og.jpg`
- Thumbnail provenance is stored in the thumb JSON sidecar (`article_id`, `input_dir`, `source_file`, `source_path`, `created_at`)
- Describe button uses `lib/generate_data_sync.php`
- Job status polling via `job_status.php` every 32s

## Ordering rules

For visual media ordering in admin/render flow:
1. `order.json` (authoritative when present)
2. embedded metadata datetime
3. filename datetime
4. filesystem datetime

`order.json` is web/admin-owned (worker consumes it).

## Contact form (`contact.php`)

- Fields: name, email, message + honeypot anti-spam field
- Uses PHP `mail()`
- On success: redirects to `https://bubulescu.org/`
- Recipient is configured in `contact.php` (`$to_email`)

## Push notifications

Files:
- `push_config.php` — exposes only public VAPID key
- `push_subscribe.php` — stores subscriptions in `cache/push_subscriptions.json`
- `lib/send_push.php` + `send_push.js` — server-side send logic
- `api/enable_show.php` — triggers push on Show enable
- `sw.js` — service worker fallback notification text

Current text behavior:
- Show notifications open the article permalink (`./?id=<article_id>`)
- payload body: `New aticle @ MVL!`
- SW fallback title/body: `MVL` / `New article @ MVL!`

Push config is loaded from first available:
- `/etc/mvlog/push.php`
- `/etc/mvlog/push.json`
- `/var/www/html/mvlog/push.json`
- `~/.config/mvlog/push.json`

## Auth

- Session cookie name: `MVLOGSESSID`
- Cookie path: `/`
- Auth config: `/etc/mvlog/auth.php`

## Runtime config (`config.php`)

```php
return [
  "site_name" => "Admin MVLog",
  "videos_dir" => __DIR__ . "/out-dir",
  "thumbs_dir" => __DIR__ . "/thumbs",
  "uploads_dir" => __DIR__ . "/in-dir",
  "public_videos" => "out-dir",
  "public_thumbs" => "thumbs",
  "items_per_page" => 8,
];
```

## Notes

- `contact.php` is currently in `.gitignore`.
- Keep secrets out of git (`push.json`, private keys, auth secrets).
- Worker/rendering is handled by separate movmaker worker project.
