Secondary Navigation

The Secondary Navigation will automatically appear when 3 or more H2 titles appear on a page. In some instances, such as on an "Overview" page, you'll want to comment the Secondary Navigation out. In order to do this follow the steps below:

  1. Navigate to the page entry and open it.
  2. Select the "Meta" tab just below the page title.
  3. Change the "Meta-Subheader Anchors" to "Disabled."
  4. Save the page.

Recipes

The Lunch Box's school recipes are unique in that the content is gathered from the OneSource Horizon Database. See below for certain details about the relationship between the two:

Editing the Copy of an Existing Recipe

Updating the copy of an existing recipe must be done in the OneSource Horizon Database. There is no way to do this within this Craft backend system. To find out how to do this please contact someone on the Chef Ann Foundation team.

Editing the Image* of an Existing Recipe

If you want to update an image of an existing recipe following the steps below:

  1. Crop the new image* according to the specs listed further down in this section.
  2. Save & Name the file of the new image with the Recipes "Item ID." (NOTE: All of the letters within the filename must be lowercase for this to work properly.)
  3. Navigate to "Assets" in the left side nav of the Craft backend system.
  4. On the "Assets" page select the "Recipe Images"
  5. Drag the new image anywhere in the "Assets" window in order to upload it. Or you can also select the "Upload Images" button in the top right corner.
  6. When prompted with the question about replacing an already existing image with a new one say yes.
  7. Check the recipe detail page to ensure that the intended image* is appearing on the page.

    • Click here to access a visual reference.

NOTE: You don't always have to upload a photo as the asset for the recipe. You could also upload a different illustration from the generic one so long as it's named as the Recipes "Item ID."

Adding in a New Recipe

All of the individual recipes are brought into The Lunch Box website via the OneSource Horizon Database. When an admin adds a new recipe to the OneSource Horizon Database two things occur:

  1. A Recipe card/line item is added to the Recipe Overview page and auto-populates the card/line item for that recipe.
  2. A detail page for the new recipe is created and all of the content auto-populates on the page.

Adding in an Image* for New Recipe

In order to attach an image to a New Recipe that was entered into the OneSource Horizon Database follow the instructions below. There is no need to save the image within the OneSource Horizon Database, but if you want to for certain reasons that's fine. Just know that you must do the following in order for the entry to have a specific image attached to it. If an image* is not added to the Craft system then the entry will auto-populate with a pre-designated generic illustration.

  1. Crop the new image* according to the specs listed further down in this section.
  2. Save & Name the file of the new image with the Recipes "Item ID." (NOTE: All of the letters within the filename must be lowercase for this to work properly.)
  3. Navigate to "Assets" in the left side nav of the Craft backend system.
  4. On the "Assets" page select the "Recipe Images"
  5. Drag the new image* anywhere in the "Assets" window in order to upload it. Or you can also select the "Upload Images" button in the top right corner.
  6. Check the recipe detail page to ensure that the intended image* is appearing on the page.

NOTE: You don't always have to upload a photo as the asset for the recipe. You could also upload a different illustration from the generic one so long as it's named as the Recipes "Item ID."

Recipe Page Performance

The Recipe Search & Recipe Detail Pages rely on getting anything that hits an endpoint from the OneSource Horizon system, if that system itself is having trouble or is overloaded, those pages specifically may be slow or have problems.

At times, the system might have trouble running the queries to get the recipe ingredient information. Because of this, we've developed that section so that a note will appear when the recipe ingredients list is unavailable. The PDFs and Excel file will also be unavailable for a user to download at that time.

 

SEO

The "SEO" for each page can be accessed by doing the following:

  1. Navigate to the page entry and open it.
  2. Select the "SEO" tab just below the page title.

We've outlined below what each section is in here depending upon what you're looking do.

Title

This will auto-populate with what the "Title" is of your entry and thus will be what your page title is on the front end for users to see.

SEO Meta -> SEO Title Source

This does not need to be filled out unless you want to override what's appearing in the "Title" field above for your page title. We recommend that this section not be touched except for in the following scenario:

SEO Descriptive Source

When this area is filled out it will do two things when copy is placed in the description field:

  1. Google can use the copy for what appears in Google Search Results
  2. Places text below the title in The Lunch Box Search Results Card

SEO Global Social Media Image

This is the image that will be used for display as the global website brand, as well as on Twitter Cards and Facebook OpenGraphs that link to the website. In order to change the SEO Global Social Media Image do the following:

  1. From Craft's Left Side Rail slick on "SEOmatic" displaying a few more options below.
  2. Select "Global SEO" from this list.
  3. On the page that appears, scroll down to the section that says "SEO Image Source"
  4. Click the "X" that appears next to the current images file name.
  5. Upload your new image.
  6. Once the image appears select the red "Save" button in the top right corner.

Your site currently has custom social media images uploaded for each page. Click here or here for how to update the image. For all new pages created you will need to follow these tutorials in order to update the social media image to be custom.

 

Affiliate Pop-up

If any of the conditions listed are met, the Affiliate Pop-up will trigger and a local storage variable is set on a users computer in order to prevent it from re-appearing again:

 

"Text Banner" Module

In order to have this module appear with reversed text (white text) you'll have to select one of the "Background Color" options found in the "Advanced Settings" area of the module. (Select any of the options except for either of the two "Gray" options.)

 

Featured Entries (Reliquary) Module

This module is a bit unique in that it will allow you to perform a search within the Supporting Research, Menu Cycles, Webinars and Trainings, Project Produce, Global Search, Management Tools & Resources, Procurement Tools & Resources, School Breakfast Tools & Resources, and Salad Bars Tools & Resources sections. You can then capture that search and place the results within this module on another page.

For instance, let's say you want to feature "Fruit" related Project Produce Grants on the Plant Forward page. You can add this module to the page and display the "Fruit" Kids Clubs results by doing the following:

 

Featured Entries (Manual) Module

This module allows you to add specific entries from anywhere on the site. To fill out this module do the following:

 

Featured Entries (Automatic) Module

This module allows you to add a specific section and will populate the module with results that are automatically displayed. To fill out this module do the following:

 

Modules with "Background Color"

We typically recommend that when building out your page you toggle between modules that use a "Background Color" with modules that do not. This provides a visual break for users as they scroll down the page.

Below is an example of how this would work on an interior secondary page:

  1. Start out the page with the "Text Image" Module and set the "Advanced Settings -> Background Color" to "Dotted Gray".
  2. After the above, you would then switch to using a few modules that don't have a "Background Color" set so the background would thus be white.
  3. After the above, you would switch back to using a module or few modules that use the "Advanced Settings -> Background Color" set to "Dotted Teal."

We typically don't recommend stacking modules with different "Background Colors" on top of one another for a few reasons:
