fromPrice is going awayThe static fromPrice field in DatoCMS has been replaced by live inventory pricing (amount) from our booking providers. The static price was stale and misleading — it didn't reflect actual availability or seasonal pricing. We've removed it from all queries and components.
What changes for tours without inventory pricing? They simply show no price instead of a stale/incorrect one. This is cleaner and more honest.
These are Dato Tour model fields that are either never queried or queried but dead (overridden by live config from tRPC). We'd like to remove them to reduce model complexity.
Please flag any fields you want to keep before we proceed.
| # | Field | Why it's unused |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | startTime (singular DateTime) | startTimes (string) exists but is also unused — see #9 |
| 2 | tourStarts | Not referenced anywhere |
| 3 | isFeatured | Featured tours are curated via HomePage links, not a boolean flag |
| 4 | tripadvisorLocationId | Only tripadvisorRating, tripadvisorReviewCount, tripadvisorUrl, and tripadvisorReviews are used |
| 5 | operator | Not referenced in any query |
| 6 | collections | Not referenced in any query |
| 7 | accordion | Replaced by questions (QA format) which is actively used |
| # | Field | What replaced it |
|---|---|---|
| 8 | groupSize | Not consumed by any component |
| 9 | startTimes (string) | config.startTimes from tRPC (live provider data) |
| 10 | geolocation (tour-level) | Only itinerary[].geolocation is consumed for maps |
| 11 | seoMetadata | _seoMetaTags (Dato built-in) is used instead |
| 12 | cancellationPolicy | config.cancellationPolicy from tRPC (live provider data) |
| 13 | pickupLocations | Replaced by pickupPlaces (newer model with coordinates) |
| 14 | features | Queried (__typename id) but values are never displayed |
| 15 | linktivityPlanId | Queried in cart but never actually read/used |
| 16 | plans (Dato) | config.plans from tRPC drives the booking UI |
Next steps: Once you confirm none of these are needed for content workflows, we'll clean up the queries and then remove the fields from the Dato model.
