Hi

I like the recipe module but it needs some changes for my purposes. Can someone help me with this?

I don't want all the ingredients. I just want recipe name, category and a large text box for ingredients and directions. Also I don't want the users to be able to post a recipe, only the administrator.

It would be indexed by category and name and searchable.

Can someone help make these changes? I don't have a clue how?

Thanks
Frank

It sounds as if using CCK/Flexinode along with the taxonomy system for categories would suit you better than taking this module and removing stuff to reduce it to a text box.

(Though this module can already limit posting to administrator only, by denying users the 'edit recipes' permission.)

Yes, I would suggest Flexinode/CCK. I am using Flexinode to do almost exactly as you describe for my wife's site (http://www.tammysrecipes.com).

For filtering all you need to do is create the appropriate taxonomy and tags. There are a number of different modules for viewing taxonomy (e.g. I am using the Taxonomy Browser module; in the past I tried the Taxonomy DHTML module as well).

Of course I am in the other boat, waiting for the 4.7 release of the Recipe module :D

Good news -- the current CVS (the default download on the main recipe page) works very well under 4.7
