### 4. Database Storage
|

|
|
All homepage settings are saved to the `site_settings` table in PostgreSQL:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
Key: 'homepage'
|
|
Settings JSON Structure:
|
|
{
|
|
"hero": {
|
|
"enabled": true/false,
|
|
"headline": "string",
|
|
"subheading": "string",
|
|
"description": "HTML string from Quill",
|
|
"ctaText": "string",
|
|
"ctaLink": "string",
|
|
"backgroundUrl": "/uploads/...",
|
|
"layout": "text-left|text-center|text-right"
|
|
},
|
|
"promotion": {
|
|
"enabled": true/false,
|
|
"title": "string",
|
|
"description": "HTML string from Quill",
|
|
"imageUrl": "/uploads/...",
|
|
"imagePosition": "left|center|right",
|
|
"textAlignment": "left|center|right"
|
|
},
|
|
"portfolio": {
|
|
"enabled": true/false,
|
|
"title": "string",
|
|
"description": "HTML string from Quill",
|
|
"count": number (3-12)
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**API Endpoints:**
|
|
|
|
**Admin (Write):**
|
|
|
|
- `POST /api/admin/homepage/settings` - Save homepage settings
|
|
- Requires authentication
|
|
- Accepts JSON body with settings structure above
|
|
|
|
**Public (Read):**
|
|
|
|
- `GET /api/public/homepage/settings` - Fetch homepage settings
|
|
- No authentication required
|
|
- Returns settings for frontend display
|
|
|
|
### 5. Frontend Integration
|
|
|
|
**What Changed in home.html:**
|
|
|
|
- Added IDs to all homepage elements
|
|
- Created `loadHomepageSettings()` function
|
|
- Dynamically updates content from database
|
|
- Applies styling based on admin choices
|
|
- Shows/hides sections based on enabled status
|
|
|
|
**Dynamic Elements:**

|
|
|
- Hero headline, subheading, description, CTA text/link, background
|
|
- Promotion title, description, image
|
|
- Portfolio title, description
|
|
- Text alignment, image positions, layouts
|
|
|
|
**How It Works:**
|
|
|
|
1. Page loads
|
|
2. Fetches `/api/public/homepage/settings`
|
|
3. Applies all settings to page elements
|
|
4. Updates content and styling dynamically

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
function openMediaLibrary(section, field) {
|
|
// Creates modal backdrop
|
|
// Creates iframe with media library
|
|
// Sets up message listener
|
|
// Handles selection callback
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
