2024-07-22 A Little July Update

Buy Products Directly From the Farm/Vendor Detail Page

On the "our farms" page, sometimes called "farmers", sometimes called "vendors", when the user clicks on a farm to view the details, it used to look like this:

A long time ago, we added the section that displays produce from the farm that is available, then we added links to the shop where the customer could add it, and now, we bring the shop right to them:

More Focus on the Tags

When users click on a tag to view all the products associated with it, we now show the tag in a larger h1 tag at the top of the page AND we show a small badge in each product listing to EMPHASIZE that the products the user is looking at belongs to the tag.

Quality of Life Improvements

• item details page now shows any product badges in a higher resolution and fixes the fit of the image so it's not stretched
• When displaying recipe ingredients and directions, if there are line breaks in between paragraph tags, we now strip those out.

So Boring You Don't Need to Know

• Completed migration of all servers in all environments to php 8.3 🙂

  
  

  One of many changes that needed to be made: There were a few syntax changes that needed to be made that impacted 100+ files- this project was started about a year and a half ago. First we automated as many changes as we could to the code files, then the biggest changes were manually reviewed and deployed as part of our normal schedules. Finally, we had a few stragglers- files hardly ever used or used only in very specific cases, and using the list of affected files we were able to manually review and push out the rest of them.
