Feroaringslog
1.2.2
- Admin UX: Added advanced filters on the All Tickets screen with mobile-friendly layout (search by Subject/Customer, dynamic Priority filter, and per-page selector with 20/50/100/All options). Default view now shows 20 tickets.
- Admin Sorting: Ticket list ordering now uses dynamic priority sort order from the Priorities table (instead of hardcoded urgent/high/normal/low), so newly created priorities are sorted correctly.
- Admin Priority Management: Added editable “Priority Order (1 = highest)” field in Priority create/edit modal and displayed priority order in the settings table. This makes ordering explicit and fully controllable for built-in and custom priorities.
- Admin Safety: Closed tickets are always pushed to the bottom of the ticket list to reduce accidental focus on completed items.
- Collision/Lock Enforcement: Upgraded collision detection from warning-only behavior to server-enforced reply blocking. If another admin owns the active lock, reply submission is blocked at the AJAX endpoint.
- Collision Ownership: Lock ownership now follows first-viewer semantics (first admin entering the ticket holds lock), and only later viewers are blocked.
- Collision Timeout: Added 30-minute lock-owner timeout without reply activity. If owner times out, next replying admin can claim lock and continue.
- Security Hardening: Added capability check (
manage_woocommerce) to ticket leave endpoint for collision handling consistency.
1.2.1
- Added: Permanent ticket deletion from the admin ticket list and ticket detail screen.
- Improved: Ticket deletion now requires confirmation before execution.
- Security: Deletion is restricted to closed tickets only; server-side validation prevents removal of open or in-progress tickets, even for tampered requests.
- Security: Added nonce-protected AJAX and capability checks (
manage_woocommerce) to control deletion permissions. - Developer: Expanded “Available Hooks for Developers” documentation in the readme with a complete list of
PGTS_actions and filters, including descriptions and parameter notes.
1.2.0
- Performance: Improved My Account ticket list polling with debouncing and reduced unnecessary reflows during background updates.
- Performance: Optimized admin ticket detail scripts with more efficient event handling and faster AJAX reply processing.
- Performance: Reduced redundant option and settings reads when rendering ticket badges on the frontend.
- Performance: Optimized ticket list queries with more efficient column selection for large datasets.
- Mobile: Improved tap targets, spacing, and readability on ticket forms and chat threads for small screens (~480px and below).
- Mobile: Enhanced reply composer behavior when the on-screen keyboard opens (better scroll positioning and iOS safe-area support).
