DEMO
The approach… Part One
Building the ingredients / recipes / menus sections
The approach… Part One
!important: We knew this would not be a high traffic site
Building the ingredients / recipes / menus sections
1. It would be for members only, all areas except the homepage would only be accessible if you are a member.
2. The client would maintain the ingredients and recipes post types so paying members could create their own menus.
3. Each member would only be able to view the menus they had created. Not other members menus

Permissions & roles
The approach… Part Six
• People loved the recipe / menu builder functionality but actually they would rather add their own ingredients, especially if they use a lot of locally grown produce.
• They would also want to create their own recipes as well as the menus for use within their organisation only.
Feedback
Going back to “Agile Development”
Introducing Multisite…

Multisite A Few Additional Changes
• Introduced a child theme for MyEchef so that all of the content on sub domains was password protected and only the parent MyEchef theme was open to the public. !
• Moved all of the code for the custom post types out of my theme and instead created plugins for them. I also exported all of the code ACF created for the custom fields and put that in the relevant plugin as well so that the code was all kept together.
Multisite Versioning
?
To the future!
What next?
• Stock take facility
• Calorie counter
• Central ingredients database + separate. Or an easy way to share data across sub domains
• Suppliers update costs for their ingredients only
