Reach readers in Arabic. Welcome the world in English.* --- What Is Startpoint? ------------------- [](#what-is-startpoint) Startpoint is a **production-ready, multilingual content platform** that combines a full-featured blog engine with a built-in customer support ticketing system. It was designed from the ground up to serve audiences that read right-to-left — Persian and Arabic — while remaining equally polished in left-to-right languages like English. Unlike generic CMS solutions bolted together from plugins, every layer of Startpoint — routing, UI, admin panel, language switching — was architected as a cohesive whole. You get SEO-friendly localized URLs (`/en/posts/...`, `/ar/posts/...`), automatic RTL/LTR layout switching, a cookie-and-database-backed language preference system, and a beautiful Filament 5 admin panel, all without a single line of client-side JavaScript in the public frontend. --- Key Features ------------ [](#key-features) ### Content & Publishing [](#content--publishing) - **Blog engine** with rich post editor, categories, and meta fields (title, description, keywords) - **Reading time** estimates automatically calculated from post content - **Visit counter** per post with lightweight tracking - **Related posts** surfaced by category - **XML sitemap** auto-generated for all published posts - **Soft deletes** across all content — nothing is permanently lost ### Community & Engagement [](#community--engagement) - **Comment system** with moderation queue — comments go live only after admin approval - **Newsletter** — subscribe, manage members, compose and send campaigns - **Full-text search** across post titles and body content ### Multilingual & RTL-First [](#multilingual--rtl-first) - **Three languages out of the box**: Persian (fa), English (en), Arabic (ar) - **RTL/LTR auto-switching** — `dir` and `lang` HTML attributes set dynamically per locale - **SEO-friendly locale URLs** — `/en/...` and `/ar/...` prefixes for non-default locales; the default locale has no prefix - **Language switcher** — zero JavaScript, pure link-based navigation - **Layered locale resolution**: URL prefix → user preference (database) → cookie → app default - **Configurable default locale** — set once in `config/app.php`, everything follows ### Support System [](#support-system) - **Ticket management** — users submit support requests; admins triage and respond - **Ticket categories** — organize requests by topic (billing, technical, general, etc.) - **Status tracking** — open / pending / closed with color-coded badges in the admin ### Admin Panel [](#admin-panel) - **Filament 5** — modern, fast, accessible admin UI at `/admin` - **Post & category management** with rich text editor - **Comment moderation** — approve or reject with one click - **User management** — promote to admin, disable accounts - **Newsletter composer** — write, preview, and track sends - **Ticket inbox** — full support queue with filtering by status and category ### Developer Experience [](#developer-experience) - **Laravel 13** slim bootstrap — no legacy `Kernel.php` or `RouteServiceProvider` - **Tailwind CSS v4** — utility-first, zero-config CSS - **No JavaScript on the frontend** — server-rendered Blade, instant page loads, no hydration overhead - **Anonymous migrations** — conflict-free across teams and forks - **PHP 8.4 enums** — `Language` backed enum drives all locale logic (labels, direction, enablement) --- Tech Stack ---------- [](#tech-stack) LayerTechnology**Framework**Laravel 13**Language**PHP 8.4**Admin Panel**Filament 5**Frontend**Blade + Tailwind CSS v4**Build Tool**Vite 6**Database**MySQL / PostgreSQL**Auth**Laravel built-in (sessions)**Queue**Sync (upgradeable to Redis)**Cache / Session**File (upgradeable to Redis)**Mail**SMTP (configurable)**Storage**Local / AWS S3--- Getting Started --------------- [](#getting-started) ### Requirements [](#requirements) - PHP 8.4+ - Composer 2 - Node.js 20+ and pnpm - MySQL 8+ or PostgreSQL 14+ ### Installation [](#installation) ``` # 1. Clone and install dependencies git clone https://github.com/mbpcoder/startpoint.git cd startpoint composer install pnpm install # 2. Environment setup cp .env.example .env php artisan key:generate # 3. Configure your database in .env, then run migrations php artisan migrate # 4. Build frontend assets pnpm run build # 5. Start the development server php artisan serve ``` ### Set Your Default Language [](#set-your-default-language) Open `config/app.php` and set the locale you want as the no-prefix default: ``` 'locale' => 'fa', // Persian — no URL prefix, RTL layout // 'locale' => 'en', // English — no URL prefix, LTR layout // 'locale' => 'ar', // Arabic — no URL prefix, RTL layout ``` All other enabled languages are accessible via `/{locale}/...` URLs automatically. ### Create an Admin User [](#create-an-admin-user) ``` php artisan tinker >>> \App\Models\User::create([ ... 'name' => 'Admin', ... 'username' => 'admin', ... 'email' => 'admin@example.com', ... 'password' => bcrypt('your-password'), ... 'is_admin' => true, ... ]); ``` Then visit `/admin` to access the dashboard. --- Project Structure ----------------- [](#project-structure) ``` app/ ├── Enums/ │ ├── Language.php # Backed enum — FA, EN, AR; RTL logic; labels │ └── EnumOperationsTrait.php ├── Filament/Resources/ # Filament 5 admin resources (8 resources) ├── Helpers/helpers.php # lroute(), locale_path(), clean_path() ├── Http/ │ ├── Controllers/ # Blog + auth + support controllers │ └── Middleware/SetLocale.php └── Models/ # User, Post, Category, Comment, # Newsletter, NewsletterMember, Ticket, TicketCategory lang/ ├── fa.json / en.json / ar.json # UI string translations └── {locale}/enums.php # Enum label translations per locale routes/ ├── web.php # Auth routes + locale-grouped public route registration └── public.php # Shared public route definitions (included once per locale) resources/views/ ├── layouts/ # main.blade.php (public), app.blade.php (auth) ├── components/ # language-switcher, category-sidebar, post-card, ... ├── posts/ ├── auth/ └── index.blade.php ``` --- Multilingual Architecture ------------------------- [](#multilingual-architecture) Startpoint uses a **route-group-per-locale** strategy. The file `routes/public.php` is a single shared route definition included once per enabled locale. The default locale group carries no URL prefix; all others get `/{locale}` prefix and a matching route name prefix. ``` GET / → home (default locale, e.g. fa) GET /posts/my-article → posts.show (default locale) GET /en → en.home GET /en/posts/my-article → en.posts.show GET /ar/posts/my-article → ar.posts.show ``` The `lroute('posts.show', $id)` helper automatically picks the right named route based on the active locale — no manual locale-checking needed in views. **Language preference is resolved in this order on every request:** 1. **URL prefix** — explicit, SEO-friendly, takes priority 2. **User database column** (`users.locale`) — persisted for logged-in users 3. **Cookie** (`locale`, 1-year) — persisted for guests 4. **`app.locale`** — the configured default --- Roadmap ------- [](#roadmap) - Tag-based filtering and tag pages - Post scheduling (future `published_at`) - RSS / Atom feed - Email notifications for new comments - API endpoints for headless / mobile clients - Dark mode - More locales (Urdu, Turkish, Kurdish) --- Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) Pull requests are welcome.
