Square Wheels Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 Was thinking of adding a recipe / cookbook option. Anyone know of an add on for that? I searched and didn't see one. Michael R 1

kmk Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 Or simple a topic with a pre defined formatted template? 🤔
clearvision Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 Pages is certainly the way to go if you can wade thru it. We have a recipe database with categories that also posts to a forum when a recipe is added. When you click on recipe we also have option to generate a print page of just the recipe info without all the headers, pagers and controls: Then on our social forum we also have a custom block showing a random recipe that has a picture at bottom of page:
Square Wheels Posted October 18, 2020 Author Posted October 18, 2020 I've never really used pages where users can create entries. Is it a steep learning curve for me and for users?

Is it a steep learning curve for me and for users? For you: It takes a bit to get the categories, fields, templates and page sorted. If you don't do a lot of customization and just use the standard templates once you get that sorted it is fairly easy. There might be decent guides now, there were none when I started using the database. For your users, pretty easy: Just standard type fields to fill in.
