Content management

Everything is managed via the Payload admin panel at /admin (production: your Vercel URL + /admin).

Adding a godchild

  1. Go to Godchildren → Create
  2. Fill in name, slug (lowercase, no spaces), theme_color
  3. Leave token blank — it is auto-generated on save
  4. Set active: true
  5. Assign a patron saint if one exists
  6. Add allowed_sources — these control which gospel readings appear in the chapelet detail (e.g. st-luc, st-matthieu)
  7. Save → copy the URL: https://your-domain/[slug]/[token]

Share the URL with the godchild. That URL never changes unless you regenerate the token.

Deactivating a godchild

Setting active: false immediately makes all their URLs return 404. Useful if a phone is lost.

Adding prayers

Source of truth: recueil.md at repo root. Copy content from there.

  1. Go to Prayers → Create
  2. Set category:
  3. base — standard prayers (Notre Père, Je vous salue Marie, etc.)
  4. chapelet — rosary-specific
  5. angelus, intercession, litanie — as labelled in the recueil
  6. Paste content using the rich text editor
  7. Upload audio if you have a recording

Adding mysteries

There are 20 mysteries (5 per type × 4 types). Add them once.

  1. Go to Mysteries → Create
  2. Set mystery_type (joyeux / lumineux / douloureux / glorieux) and order (1–5)
  3. Fill name, fruit, introduction
  4. Set days — the weekdays this mystery type is traditionally prayed:
  5. Joyeux → lundi, samedi
  6. Lumineux → jeudi
  7. Douloureux → mardi, vendredi
  8. Glorieux → mercredi, dimanche
  9. Add readings — each reading needs a source_key (e.g. st-luc) and source_label plus the text
  10. The source_key must match what's listed in each godchild's allowed_sources

Adding a brique

A brique is a short note or audio message pushed to one or all godchildren.

  1. Go to Briques → Create
  2. Write title and content
  3. Set type: text or audio (upload file if audio)
  4. Set target: leave blank for all godchildren, or pick one
  5. Set scheduled_date if you want it to appear on a specific day
  6. Toggle published: true when ready

Adding a saint

  1. Go to Saints → Create
  2. Fill name, slug, feast_day (format: MM-DD, e.g. 01-28)
  3. Add description and upload an image
  4. Add embedded prayers specific to that saint

Sending a push notification

Push is triggered manually from code (no admin UI yet). The godchild must have: - Installed the app via "Add to Home Screen" (iOS 16.4+ required) - Accepted the push permission prompt shown on the dashboard

The push subscription is stored automatically in their Godchildren record after they accept.
