  2. Enable/Disable Favorites: Toggle the global setting to enable or disable favorites for your app.

  3. Content Type Settings: Choose which content types (recipes, meal plans, resources, etc.) will support favorites.

Lists Configuration

  2. Enable/Disable Lists: Toggle the global setting to enable or disable the lists feature for your app.

Member Management of Favorites and Lists

Members can manage their favorites and lists directly from the My Stuff section of your app. Here’s how they can do it:

Saving Favorites

  • Members can favorite any content type by clicking the heart icon on content cards or detail pages.

  • All favorited content can be viewed from the My Favorites section.

Creating and Managing Lists

  1. Create a New List: Members can create a custom list by selecting Create new list in the My Lists section.

  2. Manage Existing Lists:

    • Rename a List: Click the ⋮ (more options) button next to the list name and select Rename to edit the list name.

    • Delete a List: Click the ⋮ button and select Delete. This will remove the list but not the content saved within it.

Note: Deleting a list only removes the items from that list; the content remains available in the platform and can still be favorited.

Accessing Favorites and Lists

Members can access their favorites and lists through the My Stuff hub. They can view their favorites, manage lists, and organize content easily.

  • Favorites Section: Displays all favorited content, grouped by type.

  • My Lists Section: Shows all custom lists created by the member, allowing for easy navigation and management.

Important Considerations

  • Privacy: Lists are private by default, ensuring that members can organize their content without sharing it publicly.

  • Integration: Both favorites and lists share the same My Stuff page, providing a unified experience for members.
