I checked again. I see the same error. A corrupt zip file downloaded. I'll send a new copy of the zip file for the updater.

[Tom Caldwell]

I think the issue with the zip from the updater is fixed. If anyone wants to try again please let me know how it goes.

Corrupt ZIP file

I just used the Updater to install v 1.0.1...No problems...

Shopping List HS2.0

Hi Tom,

Long time no talk. I didn't see an update for Shopping List in the 2.0 updater. Are you planning to update it? I sure hope so as my WAF will crash if it isn't.

[Tom Caldwell]

Hi,
I will be updating it for sure. But it will be a quite a while before I can get to it. I haven't even had a chance to test most of my scripts since 2.0 was released. I'm right in the middle of some major home renovations. It will be several weeks before I am finished. I hope to try my hand at converting some of the scripts to plugins once the homeseer sdk is updated. At the least I will make the needed changes for my stuff to work with 2.0.

[dlgardne]

Looking forward to the update

Let me know if I can help test the scanner part. I use one on a regular basis with Shopping list. BTW, Did you ever do anything with interfacing your receipes programs with Master Cook? You mentioned one time that you might take a look at that.
Thanks

[Tom Caldwell]

Dennis,
I'm working on updating the recipe pages for Homeseer 2.0. Now would be a good time for new features as well. Can you send me an example of Mastercook's format. Does it export recipe files? as single files or multiple recipe's? let me know.

[bernieb]

I haven't yet used this feature, but surely planning on it in the future. I would agree that an import from Master Cook or / and Meal Master would be a plus. I already have receipes in this format. Also a place to hold a picture of the finished product would be great !

[Tom Caldwell]

If I remember right. I added a limited support for pics in the recipe display page. The change will not let guest users add pics for recipe's. But for owners they can add a pic to the recipe/assets folder using the same name as the recipe. The recipe display page will show the pic when displaying the recipe. For instance. A recipe with the name "Prawn Sushi" would have a pic in the assets folder named - Prawn Sushi.jpg

Can anyone send me a couple examples of the exported recipe files. Master Cook/Meal Master.

[bernieb]

Tom,

So far I have found this page that spells out the file specification for Meal Master:
http://www.ffts.com/mmformat.txt

I haven't had a chance to look for MasterCook yet.
Also all the Meal Master import files have a .txt extension, so if you do a search for a Meal Master recipe, you should be able to open one up and look at it in a simple tex editor.

Hope this helps,
Bernie

[bernieb]

Also forgot to mention in my first post. And keep in mind that I haven't started using this feature but I am very interested in it.

It would be very helpful is the interface can be used with a thouchscreen, where navigation would be done with buttons that are big enough to press with a finger.

Thanks

Having a Meal Master database that can be accessed from touchscreen would score some definite WAF

*I cannot seem where to find the Recipe database that was originally released? I do not see it on the updater and cannot access Tom's page to download...

progress report for hs2.0

I finally found some time to work on this. I'm making pretty good progress but a couple weeks should finish it. I added some features that were missing. Some new web pages. Admin pages - A setup page for options, A edit/add category page, A edit recipe page. I added an option to import Master Cook recipes, and Meal Master recipes. I also added some improvements to the database for some extra info that might be usefull in recipes. Servings, Up to 5 different categories, Preperation time and notes for each recipe. These are all optional. Right now I'm working on a couple pages that I hope can be used for a touchscreen. I'll attach some screen shots here. I was hoping someone could look at the touch page screen shots and let me know if these may work. Also will I need to write a new display page for the touchscreen to display the selected recipe? or will the page in the original package work ok? I'm open to suggestions. Have I forgotten anything?
