# Platform Homepage - Quick Start Guide

Quick reference for setting up and customizing the platform homepage and content pages.

---

## 🚀 Quick Setup

### Step 1: Create Platform Pages

Run the seeder script to create all default platform pages:

```bash
python scripts/seed/create_platform_pages.py
```

This creates:
- ✅ Platform Homepage (modern template)
- ✅ About Us
- ✅ FAQ
- ✅ Contact Us
- ✅ Terms of Service
- ✅ Privacy Policy

### Step 2: Verify Pages

Visit your platform homepage:
```
http://localhost:8000/
```

Visit content pages:
```
http://localhost:8000/about
http://localhost:8000/faq
http://localhost:8000/contact
http://localhost:8000/terms
http://localhost:8000/privacy
```

### Step 3: Customize (Optional)

**Change homepage template:**
```sql
UPDATE content_pages
SET template = 'minimal'  -- or 'default', 'modern'
WHERE slug = 'platform_homepage' AND store_id IS NULL;
```

**Update homepage content:**
```sql
UPDATE content_pages
SET content = '<p>Your custom homepage content...</p>'
WHERE slug = 'platform_homepage';
```

## 🎯 Common Tasks

### Add New Content Page

```python
from app.core.database import SessionLocal
from app.services.content_page_service import content_page_service

db = SessionLocal()

page = content_page_service.create_page(
    db,
    slug="careers",
    title="Careers",
    content="<h1>Join Our Team</h1><p>...</p>",
    store_id=None,  # Platform page
    is_published=True,
    show_in_header=True,
    show_in_footer=True,
    display_order=4
)

db.close()
```

### Update Page Content

```python
content_page_service.update_page(
    db,
    page_id=page.id,
    title="New Title",
    content="<h1>Updated Content</h1>",
    meta_description="New description"
)
```

### Change Navigation Visibility

```python
# Show in header menu
content_page_service.update_page(
    db,
    page_id=page.id,
    show_in_header=True,
    display_order=2
)

# Remove from footer
content_page_service.update_page(
    db,
    page_id=page.id,
    show_in_footer=False
)
```

## 🔍 Verification

### Check Database

```sql
-- List all platform pages
SELECT id, slug, title, template, is_published, show_in_header, show_in_footer
FROM content_pages
WHERE store_id IS NULL
ORDER BY display_order;
```

## 🐛 Troubleshooting

### Homepage shows 404

**Fix:** Run seeder script
```bash
python scripts/seed/create_platform_pages.py
```

```sql
UPDATE content_pages
SET show_in_header = true, show_in_footer = true
WHERE slug IN ('about', 'faq', 'contact')
AND store_id IS NULL;
```

### Content not updating

**Fix:** Clear any caching and restart server

# Changes should auto-reload

# If manual restart needed
pkill -f uvicorn
uvicorn main:app --reload
```
