- Add a Main image field to the Recipe content type, using similar steps. Start by navigating to the Recipe content type’s Manage Fields page in step 1. Then skip to step 7 and follow the remaining steps, but reuse the existing Main image field you created for the Vendor content type rather than creating a new field. In subsequent steps, some of the configuration screens will not be available, because of the field reuse.
- Create two Vendor content items (see Section 5.2, “Creating a Content Item”) called "Happy Farm" and "Sweet Honey". Make sure that they include images and URLs.
