Does anyone know of a recipe schema creator tool?

[Aggie]

Our CMS doesn't support a user friendly plugin to create markup for recipes, so we have to do it manually. Does anyone know of a schema creator tool for recipes?  Raven tools has one for every other content type.

Thanks!

Hi Lisa

Are  you using Wordpress as your CMS? There is one here for that: http://wordpress.org/plugins/ziplist-recipe-plugin/

There is also a standalone one here

http://www.microdatagenerator.com/recipe-schema/

which says under construction. I tried it and although I didn't check what it created in detail it looked OK so you could maybe use that and adapt it.

I hope they help,

I like to use schema creator

unfortunately you will have to add the recipe word in place of anything else that was there after the word schema.org

I hope that was of help, Thomas

Just published an article on SEJ about Schema.org markup and its role in future google updates: http://www.searchenginejournal.com/schema-org-eight-tips-incorporate-rich-snippets-conform-google-hummingbird/75435/

As peter pointed out, it will depend on the CMS you are using, nowadays there are plugins for almost everything.

We use Drupal, and the template the writers would need to use is 500% more time consuming than coding.

Thanks.  I saw this tool as well, and noticed they have no recipe specific schema creator.

Thanks!

[Aggie]

Thank you!  We'll try this one out.

Check it again they added it moments after I posted it. I promise you it is there now

I'm sorry it's only in the WordPress plug-in but not the regular website version

Hi Aggie, did you have any luck with those? Please give us an update, thanks!

Thanks for checking in Christy.  We found that even with some of these 'shortcut' tools, once we drop it into Google's Structured Data Testing Tool, we often still have some things to fix like 'fn' or a time code or something.

Our writers are finding it's easier to hand code than clean up what's put out by some of the tools.

Cheers,

Aggie

Hi Aggie,

Well that's a bit of a bummer. But I'm glad you are making it work. Did Raven offer any suggestions, btw? Or, rather, did you ask them for suggestions? I'm curious what they would say.

Thanks for the update!

Kind Wishes,
Christy

Raven only has the recipe   offering in there WordPress plug-in found on schema-creator.org it is very strange they did not update their site as well.
