Pages are nestable with drag and drop, on drop, uris are generated and saved in database. A page has routes for each translation.

Each menu have nestable entries. One entry can be linked to a module, page, URI or URL. You can get a menu HTML formated with Menus::build('menuname'). An icon can easily be added to a menu item by filling icon class field.

Projects have categories, projects urls follows this pattern : /en/projects/category-slug/project-slug

Categories has many projects.

Tags are linked to projects and use Selectize jQuery plugin. It has many to many polymorphic relations so it could easily be linked to other modules.

Events have starting and ending dates

Simple news module with linked files/images galleries.

Frontend contact form and admin side records management.

A partner has a logo, website url, title and body content.

Files module allows you to upload multiple files, it uses DropzoneJS. Thumbnails are generated on the fly with Croppa.

You can create as many galleries as you want, each gallery has many files. Galleries are linkable to any module item through a polymorphic many to many relation, for now only News module is properly set up to support galleries.

Sentry 2 is used to manage users, groups and permissions. Users registration can be enable through the settings panel (/admin/settings).

Blocks are usefull for custom content to display in your views. You can get content of a block with Blocks::build('blockname').
