Backend Overview

The backend is a Laravel application with a CMS admin interface and brand-specific frontends. The admin area is accessed through the default backend context and uses Metronic templates.

Core Backend Elements - Routes: routes/web/backend.php and routes/web/backend/*.php. - Controllers: grouped by domain under app/Http/Controllers/. - Models: app/Models/* with legacy and new modules side-by-side. - Services: app/Services/Website.php, app/Services/LogReader.php. - Helpers: app/Helpers/* and app/Models/Legacy/*.

Key Modules - Websites and pages management (WebsitesController, WebsitesPagesController). - Regional (maingroup) content management (Maingroup* controllers). - Projects and communities management (Projects* controllers). - Asset management for media, slideshows, forms, and builder sections (Assets* controllers). - Page builder UI (BuilderController, resources/views/minto/builder/*). - REIT investor relations reports (MintoapartmentreitInvestorReportsController). - Data and feed endpoints for public integrations (routes/web/mintocom/data.php, routes/web/mintocom/feeds.php).

Data Storage Pattern - Most page content is stored in the Dictionary table, linked by Item_ID and Kind. - Content changes are versioned in content_version (ContentVersions). - Files and media use the Files table and S3 URLs (S3MediaManager).
