❤️🚀 The First Step in Our Boacore Journey: The Story of a Modernized Backbone

• ❤️🚀

Hello dear readers,

Today, we’re excited to share the early milestones of our Boacore project — a major leap in our digital transformation journey. With this blog post, we’re not just unveiling a project, but laying the foundation for a long-term vision.

 Where Did We Start?

Boacore aims to rebuild an outdated PHP backbone that could no longer meet modern technological demands. As we took on this system, our goals were clear:

• Build a modern infrastructure

• Prioritize security, performance, and sustainability

• Move forward step by step, with intention and clarity

???? What We’ve Accomplished So Far

Since day one, we’ve successfully implemented a range of key technical and structural improvements. Here are some highlights:

✅ Migrated to PHP 8.x

We’ve upgraded from older versions to PHP 8.x — gaining speed, enhanced security, and fewer errors.

✅ Secured Sensitive Data with .env

Sensitive information is now safely stored in .env files, improving both codebase security and Git hygiene.

✅ Implemented Composer for Dependency Management

Composer is now integrated, making it easier and more sustainable to manage external packages.

✅ Full Git Integration

Our entire codebase is under Git version control. Branch management allows us to develop with confidence, catch bugs faster, and roll back changes easily.

✅ Canvas HTML Theme for the New Frontend Structure

We’ve structured the frontend with the Canvas theme, resulting in a cleaner, faster, and SEO-friendly design.

✅ Multilingual Infrastructure with gettext

We’ve restructured the system to support multiple languages. All texts now follow the gettext format, with .po/.mo files managing Turkish and English translations in sync.

✅ A Modern Settings UI in the Admin Panel

Our admin panel now features a brand-new setting-card layout — a clean, user-friendly interface with toggles, input fields, and dropdowns.

???? What’s Next?

Here’s what we’re working on in the next phase of Boacore:

• User management (registration, login, roles & permissions)

• CRUD modernization

• API infrastructure setup

• Payment integrations (Stripe, PayPal)

• SEO and performance enhancements

???? Final Thoughts

Boacore is more than just a system upgrade — it’s the foundation of future-ready projects. This blog post was our first step in sharing the why and how behind our work.

Stay tuned, because this is only the beginning. ????
