MKSine

The Laravel + Filament 4 / 5 CMS foundation — build content sites, page builders, and plugin ecosystems without fighting your admin panel.

Quick Install · Features · Documentation

Why MKSine

Filament gives you a great admin panel. MKSine gives you the CMS layer on top of it: content types, a visual page builder, installable plugins with real lifecycle management, themes, menus, hooks, and a settings system — all built the Filament way, so it feels native instead of bolted on.

If you've ever built a "simple site" in Laravel and ended up hand-rolling pages, blocks, menus, and a plugin system from scratch — this is that groundwork, already done.

Quick install

composer require miran/mksine
php artisan filament:install --panels
# Register MksinePlugin in AdminPanelProvider (remove default Dashboard page)
# Remove Route::get('/', …) from routes/web.php (MKSine owns the homepage)
php artisan mksine:install --migrate
php artisan mksine:create-super-admin

Features

🧱 Page Builder

Opt-in visual block editor for marketing pages. Compose typed blocks (hero, columns, CTA, and more) via drag-and-drop; the tree is stored as JSON and rendered by the active theme.

📖 Concepts · Creating a block · Rendering

🧩 Plugins

Drop-in extensions under plugins/{id}/ with full lifecycle — install, activate, deactivate — ZIP upload, filesystem discovery, Filament autoloading, migrations, assets, and hook listeners. No forking core to extend the system.

🎨 Themes

Package themes and project themes (themes/{id}/). One active theme controls storefront Blade views and published CSS/JS — upload, discover, activate, and edit custom CSS/JS directly from the panel.

📖 Concepts · Creating a theme

🧭 Menus

Visual menu builder: drag to reorder, nest items, add from pages, posts, categories, or custom links. Assign menus to theme locations like header and footer.

📖 Concepts · Locations

🪝 Hooks

Two families: discovery hooks (class listeners synced to DB, toggleable in admin) and runtime hooks (closures in boot()). Extend forms, tables, events, and Filament resources — without touching core.

📖 Concepts · Two families overview

📁 Content & Media

Manage pages, posts, categories, and moderated comments from the Filament admin. A central media library handles files with image optimization, thumbnails, and a MediaPicker for forms — attach files polymorphically to any model.

📖 Architecture · Media library guide

⚙️ Settings

Site-wide settings with core tabs (General, Permalinks, Geo) plus plugin tabs registered dynamically via SettingsTabManager — no editing the settings page class required.

📖 Adding settings tabs

🌐 Translations

Edit application, plugin, and theme translation files directly from the admin — pick language, source, and file; saving writes to the source and vendor publish path.

📖 Translations workflow

💻 Admin Console

Super Admin only. Run allowed php artisan … and composer … commands from the panel — live output, background workers, and full command history.

📖 Commands reference

🔐 Auth & permissions

Filament Shield integration, a super admin role, and optional user subclass requirements for plugins that need them.

📖 User subclass · Shield and policies

Operations & deployment

Deployment guides, release ZIP packaging, ZIP-based updates, and troubleshooting — all documented for production use, not just local dev.
