# Contact System Implementation - COMPLETE

## Overview

The Contact System has been successfully implemented in the Django backend, providing a complete replacement for any Supabase contact functionality. The system allows users to submit contact forms and provides a full admin interface for moderators to manage submissions.

## Implementation Summary

### Phase 1: Backend Contact System ✅

All components of the Contact system have been implemented:

1. **Django App Structure** ✅
   - Created `django/apps/contact/` directory
   - Configured app in `apps.py`
   - Added `__init__.py` for package initialization

2. **Database Models** ✅
   - `ContactSubmission` model with all required fields
   - Automatic ticket number generation (format: CONT-YYYYMMDD-XXXX)
   - Status tracking (pending, in_progress, resolved, archived)
   - Category system (general, bug, feature, abuse, data, account, other)
   - Foreign keys to User model (user, assigned_to, resolved_by)
   - pghistory integration for complete audit trail
   - Database indexes for performance

3. **Django Admin Interface** ✅
   - Full admin interface with filtering and search
   - List display with key fields
   - Inline actions for common operations
   - Export functionality

4. **Celery Tasks** ✅
   - `send_contact_confirmation_email` - Sends confirmation to submitter
   - `notify_admins_new_contact` - Notifies admins of new submissions

5. **Email Templates** ✅
   - `contact_confirmation.html` - Confirmation email
   - `contact_admin_notification.html` - Admin notification

## Database Schema

### ContactSubmission Model

```python
class ContactSubmission(models.Model):
    """Contact form submission from users."""
    
    # Primary Fields
    id = models.UUIDField(primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4)
    ticket_number = models.CharField(max_length=50, unique=True)
    
    # Contact Information
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    email = models.EmailField()
    
    # Submission Details
    subject = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    message = models.TextField()
    category = models.CharField(max_length=50, choices=CATEGORY_CHOICES)
    
    # Status Management
    status = models.CharField(max_length=20, choices=STATUS_CHOICES, default='pending')
    
    # User Relationships
    user = models.ForeignKey(User, null=True, blank=True, on_delete=models.SET_NULL)
    assigned_to = models.ForeignKey(User, null=True, blank=True, on_delete=models.SET_NULL)
    resolved_by = models.ForeignKey(User, null=True, blank=True, on_delete=models.SET_NULL)
    
    # Timestamps
    created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
    resolved_at = models.DateTimeField(null=True, blank=True)
    
    # Admin Notes
    admin_notes = models.TextField(blank=True)
```

### Indexes

- `status, -created_at` - For filtering by status with recent first
- `category, -created_at` - For filtering by category with recent first
- `ticket_number` - For quick ticket lookup

## API Usage Examples

### Submit Contact Form (Public)

```bash
POST /api/v1/contact/submit
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "name": "John Doe",
  "email": "john@example.com",
  "subject": "Feature Request",
  "message": "I would like to suggest...",
  "category": "feature"
}
```

Response:
```json
{
  "id": "uuid",
  "ticket_number": "CONT-20250109-0001",
  "name": "John Doe",
  "email": "john@example.com",
  "subject": "Feature Request",
  "message": "I would like to suggest...",
  "category": "feature",
  "status": "pending",
  "created_at": "2025-01-09T12:00:00Z",
  ...
}
```

### List Submissions (Moderators)

```bash
GET /api/v1/contact/?status=pending&page=1&page_size=20
Authorization: Bearer <token>
```

### Update Submission (Moderators)

```bash
PATCH /api/v1/contact/{id}
Authorization: Bearer <token>
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "status": "in_progress",
  "admin_notes": "Following up with user"
}
```

### Get Statistics (Moderators)

```bash
GET /api/v1/contact/stats/overview

```

## Email Notifications

### Confirmation Email
- Sent immediately after submission
- Includes ticket number for reference
- Provides expected response time

### Admin Notification
- Sent to all admin users
- Includes ticket details and category
- Link to admin interface

### Resolution Email
- Sent when ticket is marked as resolved
- Includes resolution notes if provided
- Thanks user for contacting

## Workflow

1. **User submits form**
   - Form can be submitted by authenticated or anonymous users
   - Ticket number is auto-generated
   - Confirmation email sent to user
   - Notification sent to admins

2. **Moderator reviews**
   - Moderator claims ticket (assign-to-me)
   - Changes status to "in_progress"
   - Adds admin notes as needed

3. **Resolution**
   - Moderator marks as "resolved"
   - Resolution email sent to user
   - Ticket remains in system for audit trail

4. **Archival**
   - Old resolved tickets can be archived
   - Archived tickets hidden from default views
   - Can be restored if needed

## Admin Interface

Access via: `/admin/contact/contactsubmission/`

Features:
- Filter by status, category, date
- Search by ticket number, name, email, subject
- Bulk actions (assign, resolve, archive)
- Export to CSV
- Detailed audit trail via pghistory

## Database Migration

Migration created: `django/apps/contact/migrations/0001_initial.py`

To apply:
```bash
cd django
python manage.py migrate contact
```

## Testing Checklist

### Functional Tests
- [ ] Submit contact form without authentication
- [ ] Submit contact form with authentication
