EasyStream Conflict Resolution - Implementation Checklist

Overview

This document provides a step-by-step checklist for implementing all conflict resolutions and ensuring EasyStream is fully updated to modern standards.

Status: ✅ Critical Infrastructure Complete - Ready for Final Updates

---

✅ COMPLETED - Critical Infrastructure

1. Session Helper Functions ✅

• File Created: f_core/f_functions/functions.session.php
• Purpose: Standardizes session variable access across application
• Key Functions:
  • getCurrentUserId() - Get user ID from session
  • setCurrentUserId($id) - Set user ID in session
  • isUserLoggedIn() - Check if authenticated
  • clearUserSession() - Clear all session data
  • validateUserSession() - Check for hijacking attempts

2. API Helper Functions ✅

• File Created: f_core/f_functions/functions.api.php
• Purpose: Standardizes API responses and handling
• Key Functions:
  • sendApiSuccess($data) - Send success response
  • sendApiError($message, $code) - Send error response
  • requireAuth() - Require authentication
  • validateApiMethod($methods) - Validate HTTP method
  • getPaginationParams() - Get pagination data

3. Config Core Updated ✅

• File Updated: f_core/config.core.php
• Change: Added includes for new helper functions
• Lines Added:

  require_once 'f_core/f_functions/functions.session.php';
  require_once 'f_core/f_functions/functions.api.php';
  

4. Account.php Fixed ✅

• File Updated: f_modules/m_frontend/m_acct/account.php
• Issue: Was calling non-existent VLogin class
• Fix: Now uses VAuth::getInstance() and getCurrentUserId()

🔄 PENDING - API Endpoint Updates

Update Pattern for All API Endpoints

Files to Update:

• ✅ api/videos.php
• ✅ api/user.php
• ✅ api/comments.php
• ✅ api/subscriptions.php
• ⏸️ api/privacy.php
• ⏸️ api/upload/progress.php

Find and Replace:

OLD:

if (!$userId && isset($_SESSION['USER_ID'])) {
    $userId = $_SESSION['USER_ID'];
} elseif (!$userId && isset($_SESSION['usr_id'])) {
    $userId = $_SESSION['usr_id'];
}

NEW:

if (!$userId) {
    $userId = getCurrentUserId();
}

Implementation Steps:

1. Open each file
2. Search for the old pattern
3. Replace with new pattern
4. Test the endpoint
5. Check off in this list

Individual File Updates

api/privacy.php

• Replace session access pattern
• Test privacy settings endpoint
• Verify authentication works

api/upload/progress.php

• Replace session access pattern
• Test upload progress tracking
• Verify user identification works

---

🔄 PENDING - Module File Updates

Frontend Modules to Update

Pattern to Find:

$user_id = isset($_SESSION['USER_ID']) ? (int)$_SESSION['USER_ID'] : 0;
// OR
$uid = (int) $_SESSION['USER_ID'];
// OR
if ($_SESSION['USER_ID'] > 0)

Replace With:

$user_id = getCurrentUserId();
// OR
if (isUserLoggedIn())

Files to Update:

f_modules/m_frontend/templatebuilder.php

• Line 21: Replace $_SESSION['USER_ID'] with getCurrentUserId()
• Test template builder loads
• Verify user authentication

f_modules/m_frontend/templatebuilder_ajax.php

• Line 11: Replace session check with isUserLoggedIn()
• Test AJAX requests
• Verify authentication redirect

f_modules/m_frontend/m_player/embed.php

• Line 56: Replace $_SESSION['USER_ID'] with getCurrentUserId()
• Test video embed
• Verify membership check

f_modules/m_frontend/m_notif/notifications_bell.php

• Line 63: Replace session access with getCurrentUserId()
• Test notification loading
• Verify user notifications display

---

🔄 PENDING - Frontend JavaScript Migration

Priority 1: High-Traffic Pages

browse.init.js

Current Issues:

• Uses jQuery .get and .post
• Inline string concatenation for URLs
• No proper error handling

Migration Steps:

1. Replace "Load More" jQuery with api-helper
2. Replace "Watch Later" jQuery with api-helper
3. Update sorting/filtering to use API
4. Add proper error handling
5. Test pagination
6. Test watch later toggle

Estimated Time: 3-4 hours

login.init.js

Current Issues:

• Form submission uses jQuery
• Direct form serialization
• Inconsistent error display

Migration Steps:

1. Replace jQuery form handling with fetch
2. Use api.login() method
3. Update error display
4. Add loading states
5. Test login flow
6. Test "remember me"

Estimated Time: 2-3 hours

jquery.init.js

Current Issues:

• Global jQuery utilities
• Notification loading uses jQuery
• Inline jQuery event handlers

Migration Steps:

1. Replace notification AJAX with api-helper
2. Convert event handlers to native JS
3. Remove jQuery dependencies where possible
4. Create modern utility functions
5. Test all notifications
6. Test user menu interactions

Estimated Time: 4-5 hours

Priority 2: Secondary Pages

files.init.js

• Migrate file operations to API
• Update upload progress tracking
• Test file management

channels.init.js

Performance Testing

Before/After Metrics

Measure These:

1. Page Load Time

# Test browse page
curl -o /dev/null -s -w 'Total: %{time_total}s\n' http://localhost/browse.php

2. API Response Time

# Test videos API
curl -o /dev/null -s -w 'Total: %{time_total}s\n' http://localhost/api/videos.php

3. JavaScript Bundle Size

# Check total JS size
du -sh f_scripts/fe/js/*.js

4. Database Queries

-- Enable slow query log
SET GLOBAL slow_query_log = 'ON';
SET GLOBAL long_query_time = 0.5;

-- Check log after page load
SELECT * FROM mysql.slow_log ORDER BY start_time DESC LIMIT 10;

Target Metrics

• Page load time: < 2 seconds
• API response time: < 300ms
• JavaScript size: < 200KB (after jQuery removal)
• Database queries per page: < 10

---

Rollback Plan

If Issues Occur

1. Immediate Rollback

git stash
git checkout HEAD~1

2. Partial Rollback (specific file)

git checkout HEAD -- path/to/file.php

3. Check Git Status

git status
git log --oneline -10

Backup Strategy

Before Each Major Change:

# Create backup branch
git checkout -b backup-before-migration
git commit -am "Backup before migration"
git checkout main

# Or create manual backup
cp -r /path/to/easystream /path/to/easystream-backup-$(date +%Y%m%d)
