Overview of Detail Page Templates
Detail page templates allow you to customize how individual content items, such as recipes and meal plans, are displayed in your app. Each template consists of various blocks that can be enabled, disabled, or reordered to fit your needs.
Key Customization Options
Ingredients Show Checkboxes
When enabled, this option allows members to check off ingredients directly on the recipe page.
Checked items will be struck through, providing a visual cue of what has been prepared.
Note that these checks reset when members leave the recipe page and are not applicable in Cooking Mode.
How to Enable:
In the block settings for the recipe-ingredients block, toggle the showCheckboxes option to true.
Media Gallery Hide Cover Photo
This option allows you to hide the cover photo in the media gallery. When enabled, the gallery will display additional media without repeating the cover photo.
If the content item has only a cover photo, the entire media gallery block will be hidden.
How to Enable:
In the media block settings, toggle the hideCoverPhoto option to true.
