Colophon

Printer-friendly version

Unsurprisingly, this site is built with Drupal. Running v5.

Modules used:

  • Recipe: runs the recipe section
  • Tagadelic: makes tag clouds
  • Views / Views Bonus Pack / Views Alpha Pager: top recipes based on Fivestar ratings
  • CCK: made a sample cookbook content type, see the Nutbread and Nostalgia sample entry
  • Fivestar / Voting API: ratings for recipes and images
  • Pathauto: make nice URLs automatically
  • LoginToboggan: login using email address, login immediately without email verification
  • AdSense: displays AdSense on pages and split revenue with the author of the page; turned off for anyone that creates an account
  • Image: stores images as nodes, and using image_attach, attaches images to recipes; also using image_gallery to be able to browse / share recipes based on images
  • Simple Menu: JavaScript menu visible to admins only
  • TinyMCE: WYSWIYG for everyone
  • Buddylist: configured so when we get to 100s of members, people can track each others submissions
  • Persistent Login: a "remember me" checkmark that keeps you logged in


Some notes on what is next:

Bookmarks:

  • "I made this" to show which recipes you've made (maybe recipe "reviews" instead of plain ratings?)
  • Favorites? Or do it differently

Fix ingredient entry so you can enter one ingredient per line – the code will "do the right thing" and detect ingredients and quantities and so on

Make a way to link recipes to cookbooks or restaurants. Have a "bookshelf" where you can indicate what cookbooks you own. Have a tasting log (?) where you can show which restaurants you've been to. Both of these might link to All Consuming / 43 Places.

Image attach only allows attaching one image per node (!!). Make it so you can attach multiple. Be nice to either show a whole separate tab/page of all related images, or be able to click through. Show / browse user images from their profile (Jan 21: implemented as a view). Does a gallery of food images make sense? (turned on...categories need work. Or maybe just use views to build it) Yes...browse by image! In general, Figure Out Images™.

Recipe widget: javascript to embed latest recipes on your own site

Community Tags: needs updating to 5.x, but will anyone to tag recipes, instead of only author.
