    Hello,

    I really like your Recipe Card plugin and I was wondering what you think of those additional features that could be added.
    1) Support of ThreeWP Broadcast in order to share recipe content across several sub-websites of a Multisite wordpress site.
    2) USDA nutritional information with advanced nutritional information display as this website offers : http://nutritiondata.self.com/
    3) Advanced grid search that would feature food/recipes sorting by nutrient content and with additional constraints (for instance at least mg. of calcium + or at maximum 150 g. of sodium).
    4) Optional : Operational research feature. It means you set a list of ingredient with constraints (for instance between 100 g. and 200g. of milk + between 50 g. and 150 g. of chicken). Then you set a goal, for instance as much as iron possible but with at least 100 mg of calcium. Then the quantities of ingredients are found. There are easy and known algorithms for that kind of things : it’s called non-linear optimization.

    I would pay for that.

    Hey Cedric,

    Sorry, I saw your email but was too busy all week to reply.

    1) Should work out of the box if they support custom post types – check with them.
    2) Working on this currently. It’s pretty hard as they don’t have an API, so I need to find another one like http://www.nutritionix.com/ – will most likely be an extension.
    3) Also in progress. Grid layout will be optional in next update.
    4) Falls into #3 – when I can get the search working well this should be possible.

    Cheers 🙂

    Hi Bryce,

    I really appreciate your answer.

    1) Ok it seems they doesn’t support custom post types. I will ask them and I hope they will have a solution. Otherwise to you know a proadcast plugin that works with Recipe Hero ?

    2) It looks good.
    2.1) Will it be possible to translate the information in french ?
    2.2) Will it be possible to have an advance nutritionnal information display ?

    3 + 4) Great !

    5) I have some issue with the display
    http://paleo-optimal.com/recipe/salade-de-foie-de-volaille/
    Here is an image with comments :
    5.1) The automatically added author box (from the plugin StarBox) is displayed at the middle of the recipe.
    5.2) In the ingredient area, there are huge spacing with the combo box, is it normal ?
    5.3) At the end of the recipe, a search bar and links are added. Is it normal ?

    Regards,

    Cédric

    Ok so for 1) I confirm this plugin works with «ThreeWP Broadcast» 🙂 I juste add to enable custom post type sharing in ThreeWP Broadcast.

    I really hope we can fixe quickly the small display issues so I can start translating the plugin and using it on a real website. And may be doing a pre-order for the other advanced features, assuming they are feasible.

    Regards,

    Hey Cedric,

    Great about 1).

    2) I hope so, will have to see when I start building it.

    5) Ah, it looks like the theme / plugin is adding it incorrectly. Can you use a different plugin for that or ask the developer of it to fix it? They are definitely adding it in wrong.

    Nope, shouldn’t be that much spacing – Try add the following to your custom.css file or with a plugin like [Simple Custom CSS](http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/):

    .recipe-hero article.recipe .recipe-single-ingredients ul.ingredients-list li.ingredients-item .amount { min-width: 8% !important; }

    This is the sidebar from your theme. You can hide it by also adding this CSS (with the bit above):

    .recipe-hero-page #sidebar { display: none; }

    I hope this helps you out! 🙂

    Hi Bryce,

    So the css worked and it looks good so far. For now I am only using it on small websites where it’s not important if I don’t have advanced nutritional information.

    2) Ok then I will wait for news from you 🙂 Do you know when you will know ? For this feature I could help you in the testing part (I know testing take time and some time you have to test again and again), with french translation (I already translated front-end). I could also pre-order this feature in advance so you are sure I am a serious customer.

    5) And I have the same issue with Social Media Feather that is also, as StarBox, a well reviewed plugin. Before I send them a message in the support forum, could you tell me what I should tell them in order to keep my credibility and they don’t just answer «It can’t come from me».

    Hi again (I hate that we cannot edit message here),

    I forgot to tell you some few minors things :
    A) The category recipe widget is not working : I don’t see any of the category

    B) We can’t add keywords. Is-it on purpose ? For me I would see it that way:
    Cuisine : vegetarien
    Course : breakfeast
    Keywords: egg

    C) On the website I am building, I have a magazine display.
    http://maigrir-innovation.com/
    But this doesn’t apply in recipe page, is it normal ?

    Sorry for the delay.

    2) No idea as I’m just super busy at the moment and travelling a lot. You’ll 100% be the first to know and test it – will email you when it is ready.

    5) They should understand as soon as they see. Ask if there is a shortcode or template tag to add it manually – I can then give you some custom PHP to add it at the right place for recipes.

    A) Recipe’s don’t use categories so it wouldn’t work like that. Try find a plugin for displaying ‘custom post types’ and ‘custom taxonomies’ in widgets. I’ll be adding widgets like this to core soon when I get time for free.

    B) Yeah, just cuisine and course. Plans to add a ‘tags’ extension soon, as I’d rather include more functionality than I can do through the main plugin.

    C) Ah, that’s hard if the theme uses custom styles for just posts. If they / you can add the same for ‘pages’ or custom post types in the theme, it can display the same but it’s not something the plugin can do.

    Another way is just using shortcodes instead maybe?
