Papa-Kind-Treff

Updated: 2026-08-05

Papa-Kind-Treff is a PHP-based platform for fathers focused on local events, appointments, and meetups, community exchange, and a protected member area.

Scope

• discover local events, appointments, and meetups
• community/forum with categories, boards, threads, and replies
• member area for profile, optional child information, and own events
• community moderation with a role model

Current State

• landing page with hero, event search, event carousel, community preview, and member-area block
• community with board navigation and separate thread view
• community admin area for applications, reports, roles, and migrations
• location-based ordering for the newest events
• member area with left-side section navigation
• profile menu with Profile, Children, Events, Outings, Community, Settings
• account emails and sensitive profile fields are stored encrypted application-side
• children can be created, edited, and deleted
• profile address supports encrypted street/house number, address search, browser import, and validation
• system section for site admins with maintenance and service toggles
• new data foundation prepared for a broader event, place, and listing system
• member area Events is now limited again to real own events and event participations
• own events now include category, optional image, explicit child suitability, optional capacity, and more direct map/address synchronization
• places and other events were moved for now into a separate member-area section Outings
• the member-area entry forms now follow a progressive approach: required fields first, optional data inside collapsible sections
• categories now use a search input with existing suggestions; new categories are created automatically and can be merged by site admins in the system area

Core Wording Rule

• Primary product term: Events
• Secondary SEO/explanatory terms: Appointments, Meetups

Tech

• entry point: public/index.php
• templates: partials/
• application logic: src/App/
• assets: public/assets/
• database schema: schema.sql
• new base classes: src/App/SystemSettings.php, src/App/ListingCatalog.php

Privacy and Security

• password hashes via Argon2id
• account emails are encrypted and additionally addressed through a separate HMAC lookup hash
• profile fields such as first name, last name, street/house number, phone number, profession, languages, and short bio are encrypted
• location coordinates (lat, lng) remain plaintext where technically required for distance and radius search
• non-essential analytics and third-party services are only active after consent

Documentation Rule

Whenever project behavior or structure changes, review and update:

• Internal/de/README.md
• Internal/de/PROJECT_CONTEXT.md
• Internal/de/PROJECT_STRUCTURE.md
• matching English files under Internal/en/

Parallel DE / EN Maintenance

• Documentation in Internal/de/ and Internal/en/ must remain fully parallel in content.
• German and English are both binding internal references.
• The root README.md remains the fixed start document for new chats and must be reviewed when core project assumptions change.
