Papa-Kind-Treff – Project Context

Updated: 2026-08-03

Summary

Papa-Kind-Treff is a PHP-based platform for fathers. Core areas are local events, appointments, and meetups, a community forum, member profiles with optional child information, and a moderation/admin area.

Key Product Decisions

• Main navigation remains intentionally compact: Home, Event Search, Community.
• Events is the primary product term across the UI.
• Secondary wording is used only in SEO and explanatory copy.
• The community is hierarchical: categories -> boards -> threads -> posts.
• Moderation is separated from the normal community frontend.
• Location features are important for local discovery.

Account / Member Area

• Profile menu currently contains Profile, Children, Events, Community, Settings, Logout.
• Children can be created, edited, and deleted.
• If a birth date is set, age is calculated automatically and updated later when needed.
• Account email is encrypted application-side and addressed through a separate HMAC lookup hash.
• Profile address can be completed via address search or browser-based location import.

Technical Frame

• custom front controller in public/index.php
• templates under partials/
• business logic under src/App/
• global frontend mainly via public/assets/js/app.js and public/assets/css/app.css

Maintenance Note

• Whenever one of these files changes, the matching files in Internal/de/ and Internal/en/ must be kept aligned.
• The root README.md acts as the startup document for new chats and should be reviewed alongside major context changes.
