# Session Summary - August 16, 2025

## Overview
This session focused on fixing critical database functionality issues in the Biohazard VFX admin CMS and resolving API connectivity problems.

## Issues Identified
1. **API Route Mismatches**: Admin panel was calling incorrect API endpoints
2. **Missing HTTP Methods**: Projects API was missing PUT/DELETE implementations
3. **Database Connectivity**: Admin panel couldn't properly create/edit/delete content
4. **Upload Functionality**: File upload system had authentication issues
5. **ESLint Errors**: Thousands of linting errors preventing successful builds

## Fixes Implemented

### 1. API Route Corrections
- **Projects API**: Added PUT and DELETE methods to `/api/projects/[id]/route.ts`
- **Endpoint Alignment**: Updated admin panel to call correct API endpoints:
  - `GET /api/projects` - Fetch all projects
  - `POST /api/projects/create` - Create new project
  - `PUT /api/projects/[id]` - Update existing project
  - `DELETE /api/projects/[id]` - Delete project

### 2. Database Functionality
- **Verified Database Connectivity**: Confirmed all content properly stored in database
- **Fixed CRUD Operations**: Admin panel can now create, read, update, and delete content
- **Authentication Integration**: All operations properly secured with admin role checks

### 3. UploadThing Integration
- **Security Fixes**: Added proper authentication middleware
- **Error Handling**: Improved error handling in upload callbacks
- **Endpoint Verification**: Confirmed upload endpoints working correctly

### 4. ESLint Error Reduction
- **Console Statement Removal**: Commented out console statements causing lint errors
- **Error Handling**: Maintained functionality while addressing linting issues
- **Production Logging**: Added notes about proper production logging practices

## Verification
- Database contains all expected content (8 projects, 6 blog posts, 3 team members, 7 FAQs)
- API routes properly handle all HTTP methods
- Admin panel can successfully perform CRUD operations
- File upload functionality works with proper authentication

## Remaining Work
1. **ESLint Configuration**: Resolve remaining linting errors throughout codebase
2. **Build Process**: Address Next.js configuration issues preventing successful builds
3. **TypeScript Issues**: Fix typing errors and undefined variable references
4. **Component Imports**: Resolve import errors in example components
