- **Admin panel**: Tailadmin theme, CSS at `public/tailadmin/src/css/style.css`

## Info Card Styling
- `.info-card` CSS is embedded inline in article content stored in DB
- Defined in seeders:
  - `database/seeders/redd-plus/ReddPlusArticleSeeder.php` (articles with info-card HTML)
  - `database/seeders/redd-plus/ReddPlusPageSeeder.php` (pages with info-card HTML)
- Also in cached view files under `storage/framework/views/` (auto-regenerated)
- Recent update (2026-07-29): strengthened card with white bg, stronger border `#d8d4c8`, added `box-shadow`

## Database Tables
- `content_article` - articles (PK: `article_id`)
- `content_article_translation` - translations including HTML content (`article_translation_content`)
- `theme_rules` / `theme_settings` - dynamic theme configuration
- `settings` - key-value app settings (sidebar colors, etc.)
- `data_dashboard` - dashboard widgets
- `frontend_sites` - site layouts (header, footer, layout HTML)

## Key Models
- `app/Models/Backend/ContentArticle.php` - article model, hasMany translations
- `app/Models/Backend/ContentArticleTranslation.php` - translation model
- `app/Models/Backend/ThemeSetting.php` / `ThemeRule.php` - theme config
- `app/Models/Backend/Setting.php` - key-value settings
- `app/Models/Backend/FrontendSite.php` - frontend sites

## Key Controllers
- `app/Http/Controllers/Backend/ContentArticleController.php` - article CRUD

## Helpers
- `app/Http/Helpers/SettingHelper.php` - `get()`/`set()` for settings with cache
- `app/Helpers/DashboardHelper.php` - `render()` for dashboard widgets

## To Update Card Styles in Future
1. Edit seeders: `ReddPlusArticleSeeder.php` and `ReddPlusPageSeeder.php`
2. Create a new migration with `DB::raw("REPLACE(...)")` to update existing DB content
3. Run `php artisan migrate`
4. Clear view cache: `php artisan view:clear`
5. If theme settings changed, clear app cache: `php artisan cache:clear`
