README

A food magazine demo site template for Drupal CMS: a port of Drupal core's Umami demo to Drupal CMS, with recipes, articles, an editorial workflow, English and Spanish content, and a warm, modern design built on the Mercury design system.

Key features

• Recipe and article content types following Drupal CMS conventions, plus Umami's recipe fields (ingredients, preparation and cooking time, servings, difficulty, category), tags and recipe categories.
• Drupal core's Umami demo content: 10 recipes, 8 articles, an About page, images and terms, in English with Spanish translations, and the demo editor accounts (without passwords; an administrator sets them). Editors can translate content, Canvas pages (with Canvas Translate) and configuration such as the footer texts.
• Canvas everywhere: the header and footer as a page variant, recipe and article pages and cards as content templates, and Home, Recipes, Articles and About Dashi as Canvas pages.
• Listings and feeds as views, term pages as card grids, search from Drupal CMS Search, an RSS feed at /rss.xml.
• The Dashi theme, generated from Mercury's starter kit and trimmed to the components a food magazine needs, plus recipe-specific ones (featured recipe hero, recipe facts, ingredients, directions, byline, magazine promo).

Installation

Choose "Dashi" in the Drupal CMS installer, or add this recipe to an existing Drupal CMS project:

composer require drupal/dashi

Choosing English or Spanish in the installer gives you a site in that language with the content in both; any other language keeps English as the site default, with the chosen language added.

Notes

• Texts and images are Drupal core's Umami content, unchanged, except that the pasta bake is sticky so it can be the front page hero.
• The heroes come from the recipe flags: the front page shows the newest recipe that is promoted and sticky, the Recipes page the newest promoted recipe that is not sticky. Change them on the recipe form; the number of items in the list blocks can be changed in Canvas.
• The header and footer texts ship in English only; translate them under Configuration > Regional > Configuration translation > Page variants. The demo content is translated.
• Search is indexed by cron, and the installer does not index the demo content. After a command-line install run drush search-api:index once. Otherwise automated cron catches up on its own within a few hours (the first cron run only registers the content, the second indexes it).
