- page.tsx fetches bb.events (confirmed + tentative) and passes shows
list into DirectoryClient alongside the tracked_companies rows
- DirectoryClient renders an "All shows" + "NAB+IBC" + one chip per
event in bb.events. Shows attendee count when known; tags "soon" on
shows without exhibitor mappings yet (ANGA COM, MPTS, BroadcastAsia,
SET Expo, NAB NY, SATIS, Hamburg Open, CABSAT, etc.)
- Filter logic uses tracked_companies.shows_attending text[] (added in
migration 0008) instead of the legacy exhibits_nab / exhibits_ibc
booleans — scales to N shows.
The directory page was previously capped at 1,000 rows (PostgREST
default max_rows). Server-side bumped to 5000 in a paired supabase
env update — directory now renders all 1,366 manufacturers.

422 response now reads "Your submission contains disallowed phrase X.
Please remove it and try again. Questions? Email
support@relevantmediaproperties.com." so PR firms know exactly what
tripped the filter without having to ask.

New ObfuscatedEmail client component splits user + domain into two data
attributes server-side, then assembles the mailto on mount. Pre-JS DOM
shows "[email protected]" placeholder; only after client-side hydration
does the real address render. Most simple email scrapers won't execute
JS or follow the data-u/data-d pattern, so addresses stay protected
while remaining one click away for humans.
Editorial persona emails derive from slug (firstname-lastname@broadcastbeat.com).
Ops persona emails (Chloe, Riley) come from pulsedesk.personas.email.

Even though distribute-rmp gates the submitter, re-validate the
contributor's distribute.users.status here before inserting into
bb.native_articles. A leaked DISTRIBUTE_SHARED_SECRET shouldn't be
enough to bypass the approval system. Falls back to letting the
request through on transient lookup failure (distribute side already
checked).

Pulls from pulsedesk.personas (ops staff) and renders them as a second
section below the editorial team. Shows role, email, phone + ext.
Filtered to the company-wide RMP roles only (Chloe Delgado / Accounting,
Riley Park / Support) — not property-specific personas. Avatars fall
back to initials block until proper photos are added.

Two compounding bugs caused 0 clicks since May 22:
1. lib/ads.ts exported ADS_728X90 / ADS_300X250 / FIXED_300X600 as
IIFE-evaluated module constants. They captured the FALLBACK array
at module-load time, before the centralized RMP banner cache
populates. Every render that referenced them got FALLBACK banners
whose click_url was the direct advertiser URL — bypassing the
centralized click logger entirely. 300x250s escaped because every
page reads them via rotateAll() at render time.
2. Even when the new RMP-cache banners did render, click_url pointed
at www.RMP.com/<property>/<slug>, which logs to adv.banner_clicks.
The RMP analytics dashboard reads bb.ad_clicks. Repointed click
URLs at advertising.RMP.com/r/<campaign_id> so all clicks land in
the single table the dashboard queries.
Files: lib/ads.ts (remove broken IIFE exports + repoint click_url),
SidebarAdStack, Header, Footer, and 9 pages (reading-list, forum,
forum/thread, search, gear, technology, authors, show-coverage x2).

- Standardize "NAB Show" / "2026 NAB Show" across badges, filter chips,
and headings; never bare "NAB" in user-facing copy.
- /manufacturers/[slug]: normalize show name at render, strip
randomstring suffix on booth, hide booth unless the show is within 90
days, filter single-letter junk out of category display.
- News filter "NAB Show" chip loose-matches any nab-tagged article so
legacy "NAB 2026" tags still surface.

1. Clean image URLs
Article HTML was leaking the full Supabase Storage URL:
https://supabase.onsethost.com/storage/v1/object/public/distribute-media/<uuid>/<file>
Now rewritten on render to:
/img/distribute-media/<uuid>/<file>
Served by new /img/[...path] route handler that proxies to Supabase
with 24h public cache + 7d SWR. Better SEO (first-party images) and
stops leaking the storage host into article markup.
2. Stuck PR submissions
When the rewrite pipeline fails (Ollama 503 / bad model output), the
submission used to sit forever in ai_original_submissions without
becoming a public wp_imported_posts row. PR firms got "delivered"
status with no visible article anywhere.
/api/ai/submit now calls publishRawFallback() if rewriteSubmission
returns anything other than 'succeeded'. The fallback inserts a
wp_imported_posts row containing the raw HTML body with a visible
"Distributed as a press release — staff editorial rewrite pending"
banner at the top, so the article surfaces immediately. A future
retry job can swap in the rewritten content when Ollama recovers.
- /manufacturers footer "Contact our editors" linked to /contact which
doesn't exist → 404. Swapped to mailto:editors@broadcastbeat.com.
- hybridAI() was falling through to api.anthropic.com whenever Ollama
failed, which logs were tripping on after my earlier no-paid-AI swap
(Article suggestions error: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY not configured).
Removed both Anthropic call-paths in hybridAI + hybridAIStream.
hybridAI now retries Ollama with 0/3/12s backoff and throws a clear
error after exhaustion — callers (article-suggestions) already have
graceful non-AI fallbacks.
- /manufacturers index + DirectoryClient: convert white/light-ink theme
to BB dark theme so it stops standing out against the rest of the site
- /manufacturers/[slug]: same conversion, includes the new executives
card grid and Headquarters block
- /nab-2026: same conversion, including hero gradient and sponsor tile
borders (amber on dark instead of amber on white)
- Forum: remove "Top Performing Threads" widget from both /forum and
/forum/[slug] (display only — TopThreadsWidget component preserved
in case admins want to re-enable later)
- Forum hero: vertical padding py-10 → py-5, tagline reduced from
three sentences to one. Adds a "Sign in to post" or "Start a thread"
CTA in the hero's top-right depending on auth state.
- Recent Forum Posts ticker: drop replies entirely, surface only thread
titles so breadth of conversation shows instead of the loudest
threads dominating with reply chatter.
Editorial rule is no paid AI services in production — this endpoint was
calling api.anthropic.com which violated that. Rewires to local Ollama
at 10.10.0.67:11434 using llama3:latest (warm, ~4.7GB, reliable).
Adds 3-attempt retry with backoff for 503/busy responses since AI_002
is shared with the article rewrite pipeline that periodically saturates
Ollama's pending queue. Drops max_tokens 1024 → 512 to keep responses
snappy and reduce queue pressure.
OLLAMA_HOST + BB_ASK_AI_MODEL env vars supported for overrides.
Removes the "AI not configured" 503 — the only way that error fires
now is if Ollama itself is unreachable for all 3 retries.
/api/ai/submit and /api/submission-receive now scan incoming payload
title + body against the bb.disallowed_phrases allowlist (cached 3
min) and return 422 with the matching phrases if any are found. Stops
competitor mentions from re-entering the pipeline after the bulk
purge.
Feature 3 — forum auto-linking
Thread + reply bodies in /forum/thread/[id] now wrap company-name
mentions with /manufacturers/<slug> links via a new client-side
LinkifyPlainText component. Loads the directory list once per page
(module-level promise cache), regex-scans each body, preserves
whitespace, caps at 10 links per body to avoid clutter.
CompanyMentionsHover mounted on the page so the same preview card
pops on hover.
Adds /api/public/companies/list — minimal { name, slug } directory
feed, cached 10min.
Feature 4 — /nab-2026 live coverage hub
New page aggregating every directory company with exhibits_nab=true.
Three sections:
- Coverage Partners — active advertisers exhibiting at NAB, larger
tiles with emerald Sponsor border
- Latest from the show floor — last 60 days of articles with NAB
in the title, cinematic grid
- All NAB 2026 exhibitors — alphabetical, capped at 200 with link
to full /manufacturers directory
Every company tile carries data-company-slug for hover previews.
Feature 5b — Sponsor logo strip on homepage
New SponsorLogoStrip server component renders just above the footer
on the homepage, showing logos of every current banner advertiser
with a directory entry + logo. Each links to the manufacturer
profile with the hover-card slug attribute.
Feature 5c — Recent coverage on manufacturer profiles
/manufacturers/[slug] now includes a grid of the 6 most recent
articles matching the company name in the title, with thumbnails.
Renames the existing manufacturer_id-linked block to "Press
releases" since it's a separate data source.
Feature 1 — sidebar
Adds a "Companies in this story" panel on every news article that
surfaces every directory company my linker matched in the body. Each
tile shows logo, name, Sponsor / NAB 26 / IBC badges, and a one-sentence
bio. Tiles link to /manufacturers/<slug> and carry data-company-slug so
the global hover card pops on hover too.
Extends company-mentions.ts with linkifyAndExtractMentions() that
returns both the linked HTML and the ordered list of matched slugs in
one pass, so /news/[slug] doesn't re-scan the body for the sidebar.
Feature 2 — unified typeahead
/api/search/suggest now returns { companies, items } — companies are
matched against bb.tracked_companies (directory_visible=true), capped
at 6, ordered by featured → mention_count, then bumped if they're an
active advertiser on broadcastbeat (adv schema lookup).
Header search dropdown renders a "Companies" section at the top with
logo, name, Sponsor badge (active advertiser) or NAB 26 badge, above
the existing "Stories" results. Each company link carries
data-company-slug so the hover card works in the dropdown too.
When an article body is rendered, scan it for any company name in
bb.tracked_companies (directory_visible=true) and wrap the first
mention of each company in
<a class="company-mention" data-company-slug="...">Name</a>
linking to /manufacturers/<slug>. Caps at 12 mentions per article so
heavy press-release lists don't get visually noisy.
Match rules:
- Word-boundary, case-insensitive
- Skips text already inside <a>, <script>, <style>, code/pre/headings
- Skips any element with data-no-autolink="true"
- Longest name wins on overlap (Sony Pictures beats Sony)
- One link per company per article (first occurrence)
Hover behavior: a new CompanyMentionsHover client component mounts once
per article page, listens globally for [data-company-slug] hovers, and
pops a floating card showing logo, name, 2-sentence bio, sponsor/NAB/IBC
badges, HQ city, 3 recent stories, and links to the full profile +
external website. Preview data fetched from new endpoint
/api/public/companies/[slug]/preview
with a client-side cache keyed by slug.
Includes non-advertisers — any visible directory entry gets linked,
which is the point. If a company is *also* a current banner advertiser
on broadcastbeat, the hover card adds a green "Sponsor" badge.
Styling: dotted underline that becomes solid on hover, slightly bolder
weight, accent color on hover. Subtle so multi-mention paragraphs don't
look like a link-soup.
Three-tier sort on the Industry News feed:
1. Premium — articles pinned via adv.featured_story_slots (paid slots).
Sorted by position ascending. Highlighted with an amber left-border
gradient + ★ Featured ribbon.
2. Advertiser — articles whose title contains the company name of a
current active banner advertiser on this property, AND were published
in the last 48 hours. Highlighted with a blue left-border gradient
+ ◆ Advertiser ribbon. Multiple matches ordered by publish date.
3. General — everything else, newest first.
After 48h, advertiser stories naturally drop back into the general
tier. Premium slots fall off when their ends_at passes.
Detection is title-only with case-insensitive word-boundary match; the
longest matching company name wins so "Sony Pictures" beats "Sony"
when both advertise. Backed by the new adv.active_advertisers_by_
property view.
createAdminClient() now accepts an optional schema arg so we can hit
adv from BB without juggling clients.
API revalidate dropped 300 → 60s so the feed reflects campaign flips
within a minute.
Renders bb.manufacturer_executives rows as a card grid (photo, name,
title, bio excerpt, LinkedIn link). Adds a Headquarters section with
the street-level hq_address + phone (tel: link) + contact email. Bio
text is now whitespace-preserving so multi-paragraph copy from the
admin editor renders correctly.
Was linking to /news?category=Featured which silently fell back to the
unfiltered /news listing because "Featured" isn't in CATEGORIES and the
filter is tag-based, not category-column-based.
Adds getLegacyFeaturedArticles() that mirrors FeaturedBento's query
(category ILIKE 'featured', featured-flag-first sort) at limit 200, and
a thin /news/featured route that reuses NewsPageClient.
Problem: /admin/* pages redirect unauthed users to /login or /account,
both of which then hit middleware redirecting to distribute.relevant
mediaproperties.com. Distribute is on a different domain, so its session
cookie doesn't carry to broadcastbeat.com — sign-in there left admins
stranded on distribute's dashboard.
Fix:
- Remove /login (and /register) from middleware REDIRECT_PATHS. wp-login,
wp-admin, client-login still bounce to distribute.
- /login is now a real BB sign-in form (was a redirect to /client-login).
- Admin pages preserve return path via /login?next=<encoded path>.

New public routes:
/manufacturers - searchable index, filter by show + first letter
/manufacturers/[slug] - profile page with bio, categories, trade shows, news, JSON-LD
Data sourced from bb.tracked_companies + bb.trade_show_exhibitors,
seeded from the NAB Show 2026 Map Your Show exhibitor list.
Adds schema extensions on bb.tracked_companies (slug, logo_url, bio,
contact, social handles, press_url, ad_status, exhibits_nab/ibc) and
bb.press_releases (manufacturer_id FK, source_url, published_at, status).
Each profile page emits Organization JSON-LD for SEO + canonical URL.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Homepage / Industry News query filters wp_imported_posts to
ai_rewritten_at IS NOT NULL so raw press releases never surface on
the editorial feed (NewsArticle JSON-LD was already in place).
- New /news-sitemap.xml route emits a Google News sitemap covering
rewritten editorial published in the last 48 hours, with
news:publication + news:publication_date + news:title + keywords.
- robots.ts now points crawlers at both sitemap.xml and
news-sitemap.xml.
After deploy, submit broadcastbeat.com to Google News Publisher Center
to start serving in News.
gear, technology, search, reading-list, show-coverage, authors/[slug],
forum/thread/[id] all now render the 300x600 + 300x250 stack as a
floating right column at the top of the content area. Existing
single-column page structure preserved (content wraps).
Maximizes impression count: every pageview across these pages now
counts 300x600 + every 300x250 in the stack, on top of the existing
728x90 in Header.
When multiple profiles share a display_name (Michael Carter, Alex
Rivera, etc.), .maybeSingle() blew up with PGRST116, returning 404.
Switched to ordered limit(1) so the earliest-created profile wins
and the route resolves deterministically.
- New DualSpeedTicker component (CSS keyframes, GPU-accelerated,
pause on hover, 28px rows, 17s BEAT / 40s FORUM, refresh 5min)
- /api/ticker/beat-news: last 7 days from bb.native_articles
- /api/ticker/forum-posts: latest threads + replies interleaved
- Mounted at the bottom of Header so every page gets it
- Scoped .bb-neon palette on homepage root: section heads +
text-shadow glow, neon-tinted card borders, emerald→cyan button
gradient, cyan hover state on links, subscribe boxes neon-bordered
- CSS-only — no layout changes
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- API: require auth on thread+reply POST (401 if !user); lazy-create
forum_user_profile via service-role; author_name = display_name
- UI: surface API errors (kill silent catch); auto-redirect to login
on 401; gate new-thread + reply forms with "Sign in to post" CTA
- /forum/login + /forum/register: forum-themed Supabase Auth pages
with ?next= redirect support
- /forum/profile/edit + /api/forum/profile/me: edit own forum profile
(username, display_name, bio, role, company, location, avatar)
- Header: logout button + sign-in/join links when not authed
- forum/user/[username]: show Edit Profile button when viewing own
Fixes posting bug: RLS rejected anon inserts with cryptic message
that the UI silently swallowed; now blocked with friendly 401 + redirect.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Previous state: '/' was 307-redirected to '/home-page', and the
home-page route declared canonical='/home-page'. Net effect on
SEO: Google indexed '/home-page' as the canonical homepage and
treated '/' as a transient redirect (no link equity passed).
Changes:
- next.config.mjs: replace the source:'/' destination:'/home-page'
temporary redirect with source:'/home-page' destination:'/'
permanent (301). Any existing crawler entry for /home-page now
consolidates onto '/'.
- src/app/page.tsx (new): re-exports default + metadata from
./home-page/page so '/' serves the homepage directly. No file
moves required, no relative-import breakage in the home-page
component subtree.
- src/app/home-page/page.tsx: canonical and openGraph.url
'/home-page' → '/'. The page still builds at /home-page but
the 301 above will redirect any hit before render.
- src/app/sitemap.ts: drop the duplicate /home-page entry — Google
shouldn't be told about a URL that just redirects.
- layout.tsx: load Lora (serif) + Inter (sans) via next/font/google,
self-hosted at build time, exposed as --font-serif / --font-sans
CSS variables on <html>. No CDN fetch, no FOIT, no GDPR concern.
- tailwind.css: --font-heading and --font-body now reference the
next/font variables with Georgia / -apple-system fallbacks for the
brief window before the self-hosted face is ready. --font-mono
upgraded to IBM Plex Mono → ui-monospace → Courier New fallback
(DoubleTicker chips already specify IBM Plex Mono directly).
- ArticleFeed: drop the FEATURED filter chip (duplicates the
Staff Editorial section above), add publish date alongside the
byline on every card, lift the homepage feed cap from 200 → 5000.
- api/public/posts: lift MAX_LIMIT to 10000 so client-side
pagination + infinite-scroll see the full archive.
1. Remove SystemStatusBar from root layout. The "29,220 articles
indexed / 13 events tracked / [v2.0.0]" strip ate vertical space
above the fold without serving readers.
2. /api/newsletter/subscribe was returning 500 "Failed to save
subscription" because:
- The route used the anon-session client and tried to UPSERT on
bb.newsletter_subscribers, but the table's RLS only has an
INSERT policy for the public role. Upsert needs INSERT+UPDATE,
so the second branch failed RLS.
- Switched to createAdminClient (service-role) — bypasses RLS,
which is fine because this is a server-side endpoint with
server-side email validation.
- Welcome email now sends via nodemailer in a non-blocking
background task so a slow SMTP doesn't hold up the response.
Newer HTML template, brand-aligned, with a real CTA back to
/news.
Side work to wire SMTP (done out-of-band):
- Created newsletter@broadcastbeat.com mailbox in Mailcow via
the API (2GB quota, active, no force-pw-update).
- Set SMTP_HOST=mail.onsethost.com, SMTP_PORT=587,
SMTP_USER/PASS/FROM_EMAIL/FROM_NAME in Coolify env so the
welcome email actually fires after the next deploy.
3. FeaturedBentoFromDb section header: "Featured · staff editorial"
(small mono caps) → "Staff Editorial" (font-serif 2xl/3xl, bold,
with a thin metadata line "Selected by our newsroom" beside it
and a 2px bottom rule). Matches the editorial typography on the
article pages.
Renders on every page via root layout. Behavior:
- 5s delay after first paint so it doesn't slam the user.
- Animates from a pill into the full card (bb-modal-pop keyframe);
respects prefers-reduced-motion.
- Heading "Get the latest in broadcast & media", email field,
Subscribe + "Not now" + close (X).
- Subscribe POSTs to the existing /api/newsletter/subscribe route
(native system — newsletter_subscribers table + SMTP welcome
via Mailcow/SMTP2GO). Listmonk wasn't installed anywhere on the
infra; switching to it later is a one-line URL change.
- "Not now" + backdrop click + Escape + X all dismiss for 7 days
via localStorage["bb_newsletter_dismissed"].
- On success → "Check your email" panel + auto-close at 4s;
subscribed flag stored in localStorage so the modal never
re-prompts that visitor.
Styling matches the site's dark-navy + electric-blue palette
(NOT the neon ticker palette). No layout/page shifts — overlay
only.
PLACEHOLDER: "Search broadcast news…" → "Search articles, gear,
vendors". Drops the weird ellipsis and the "we're a broadcast site
so 'broadcast news' is redundant" feel.
API (/api/search/suggest):
- Match expanded from {title, author_name} to
{title, excerpt, content, author_name} — surfaces hits when the
phrase lives deep in the article body.
- Returns a snippet object {text, matchStart, matchEnd} sliced
from the first hit (HTML-stripped), with ~80 chars of context on
either side and "…" markers when truncated.
- Returns matched_in: 'title' | 'excerpt' | 'content' | 'author' so
the UI can show "match in article body" / "match in byline".
- Returns date + author_name on each result.
UI dropdown (Header.tsx):
- Each suggestion now renders three rows:
1) Title (bold) + category chip
2) Snippet with the matched substring wrapped in <mark>
3) Author byline + date + (if match wasn't in title) a tag
showing where the match occurred
- Vertical stacking with a colored left-border on hover so the
active suggestion is visible.
CSS:
- Stack item layout, snippet with -webkit-line-clamp:2 so long
matches don't overflow.
- <mark> background uses the accent blue at 28% so the highlight
reads against the dark card.
