🎯 Features Implemented

✅ Authentication System (blueprints/auth.py)

• Login with username/password
• Session management
• Password hashing (PBKDF2-SHA256, 1M iterations)
• Login required decorator
• Permission checking: can_user('manage_users')
• User status checking (active/inactive)

✅ User Management (blueprints/users.py)

• View all users
• Add new users
• Delete users
• Toggle active/inactive status
• Change passwords (requires admin verification)
• Location-based access control
• Permission system (manage_users, create_quotes, etc.)
• Download users as JSON

🔐 Default Login

• Username: Master
• Password: Master
• Permissions: Full access (manage_users)

🚀 Local Testing

cd product_app
python app.py

Visit: http://localhost:8080/

Routes

Main Routes

• / - Home (redirects to login if not authenticated)
• /test - Test page to verify app is running

Authentication Routes (auth_bp)

• /logout - Logout
• /api/login - POST: Login API
• /api/session - GET: Current session info

User Management Routes (users_bp)

• /users/ - User management page

• blueprints/ (entire folder)
  • __init__.py
  • auth.py
  • users.py
• templates/ (entire folder)
  • login.html
  • user_manager.html
• data/users.json

Control Panel Settings

• Application startup file: passenger_wsgi.py (or app.py)
• Application Entry point: application
• Python version: 3.13.11

Test After Deployment:

1. https://columbiawindows.com/product-finder/test
2. https://columbiawindows.com/product-finder/login
3. Login with Master/Master
4. Test user management

🔧 Adding New Features

Create a New Blueprint

1. Create blueprints/your_feature.py:

from flask import Blueprint, render_template
from blueprints.auth import login_required, can_user

your_feature_bp = Blueprint('your_feature', __name__, url_prefix='/your-feature')

@your_feature_bp.route('/')
@login_required
def index():
    return render_template('your_feature.html')

2. Register in app.py:

from blueprints.your_feature import your_feature_bp
app.register_blueprint(your_feature_bp)

3. Create templates/your_feature.html

4. Test locally, then upload to server

📝 Benefits of Blueprint Structure

✅ Separation of Concerns: Each feature in its own file
✅ Easy to Maintain: Find and edit specific features quickly
✅ Scalable: Add new features without touching existing code
✅ Testable: Each blueprint can be tested independently
✅ Reusable: Share decorators (login_required, permission_required) across blueprints

🛠️ Next Steps

• Add more blueprints for other features (quotes, products, etc.)
• Add more templates as needed
• Extend permission system
• Add location selection page
• Add the main product finder quiz
