I just added a ceiling box for a ceiling fan and I'm not sure of the wiring diagram to the switch. Follow closely because there's a lot of detail.

I tapped into the line in the attic going down to the switch to run a line to the ceiling box.

So, from the junction box, I have the hot wire connected to the wire to the ceiling box and then down the wall to the switch.

In that same switch panel, there is another switch that runs to the front porch light.

I then have a traveler running to a receptacle that's continuously hot.

In summary, I have starting in the attic:

A junction box that brings in the hot wire and branches off to the ceiling box in one direction and down the wall to it's switch.

I then have a switch to the outside porch light.

Lastly, I have a traveler running to a continuously hot receptacle.

In the switch box, I have three separate wires; 1) the hot wire for the ceiling switch, 2) a traveler wire going from the second switch to the porch light, and 3) a traveler to the receptacle.

What would the circuit diagram be? Thank you.
