Acceptance Criteria Results

Criterion Status Notes
AC-1: Plugin aktywuje sie bez bledow Pass Plugin header, taxonomy registration, autoload — all correct
AC-2: CRUD folderow dziala przez AJAX Pass 5 endpoints with nonce verification + capability check
AC-3: Drzewko folderow renderuje sie poprawnie Pass Sidebar with tree, context menu, inline rename, expand/collapse

Accomplishments

  • Custom taxonomy media_folder registered for attachment post type (hierarchical, hidden UI, REST enabled)
  • 5 AJAX endpoints: create, rename, delete, move, get_folders — all with security checks
  • Folder tree sidebar with context menu (right-click), inline rename, expand/collapse, active state

Files Created/Modified

File Change Purpose
wp-content/plugins/media-folder-pro/media-folder-pro.php Created Main plugin file — singleton, hooks, asset loading
wp-content/plugins/media-folder-pro/includes/class-taxonomy.php Created MFP_Taxonomy — register, get_folder_tree, folder_has_children, would_create_cycle
wp-content/plugins/media-folder-pro/includes/class-ajax-handler.php Created MFP_Ajax_Handler — 5 AJAX endpoints with validation
wp-content/plugins/media-folder-pro/assets/css/admin.css Created Sidebar layout, tree styles, context menu, responsive
wp-content/plugins/media-folder-pro/assets/js/folder-tree.js Created Vanilla JS folder tree — CRUD, context menu, inline edit

Decisions Made

Decision Rationale Impact
Plugin renamed to media-folder-pro User request All references use MFP_ prefix
Author: Project Pro User request Plugin header and URI set
Vanilla JS (no jQuery) Modern, no dependency Simpler, lighter bundle
Empty-folder-only delete Safety — prevent accidental data loss Users must move content before deleting

Deviations from Plan

Summary

Type Count Impact
Scope changes 1 Plugin name change — no functional impact

Total impact: Naming only, no functional deviation.

Details

  1. Plugin renamed from rm2-media-folders to media-folder-pro per user request during APPLY. All class prefixes changed from RM2_Media_Folders_ to MFP_.

Issues Encountered

None

Next Phase Readiness

Ready:

  • Taxonomy registered and operational
  • AJAX infrastructure in place (all endpoints working)
  • Folder tree UI renders with full CRUD
  • mfp-folder-selected CustomEvent dispatched on folder click (Phase 2 hooks here)
  • CSS sidebar pushes main content via margin-left

Concerns:

  • Folder filtering not yet connected to WP media query (Phase 2 scope)
  • Drag & drop not implemented (Phase 2 scope)
  • No i18n .pot file generated yet (Phase 4)

Blockers:

  • None
