Best module for recipes, excluding CGBlog or News?

Post by pwg »

Hi,

I have a client in the food production, that already has about 50 recipes on their site.

Originally they didn't want a blog - so I built the recipes section using the CGBlog, however now they want a blog, and I'd like to keep everything with CMSMS (not use another CMS blog - unless there is a really good argument for it).

My plan - at this stage is to move the recipe content into another module and now use CGBlog, as oddly enough, a blog.

Any module suggestions for the new recipe section?

Thanks for any help.

Cheers,

Paul

Consider also perhaps leaving recipes where they are but using the categories of CGBlog and having some categories shown on one page (recipes) and others shown on another (blog)? Might be less work.

Alternatively I'd definitely be looking at ListIt2 (a.k.a. ListItExtended). Very flexible.

A few hundred recipes in CGBlog: http://www.smakelijketenzonderzout.nl/recepten, but the Products module is also a very good alternative. Each recipe is a "product". It would have been my first choice, but I already used that module for other purposes.

Thanks guys, definitely less work combining both blog and recipes, but I think it will be too much for the client, and not ideal in some ways.

I was wondering about the Products module, thanks, I'll install on a test site and give it a try. I'm assuming the Products module has categories etc, so could be linked to the present site products?

Again, many thanks.

I turned the Products module in to a Image Library once, read https://www.cmscanbesimple.org/blog/bui ... ade-simple.
