{ Maian Recipe }
How can I change the social links?:

Edit the 'content/footer.tpl.php' and 'content/recipe.tpl.php' files.

How can I add my own header slideshow images?:

Yes, just add them to the "content/images/header" folder.

How can I change the recipe social links?:

Edit the 'content/recipe.tpl.php' file.

How do I set up a MySQL database?:

As servers vary, there is no one tutorial that can explain this procedure. Please contact your web hosting company who will be happy to advise you.

How do I find out what my server path is?:

Create a file called path.php and add below code into it:

<?php
echo dirname(__file__);
?>

Upload this file to your server and access it in your browser. Now you'll see your full server path. Add that path to your Maian Recipe admin settings. Just add if necesary the folder name of your recipe installation incl. a trailing slash.

If you are still unsure, contact your web host.

How do I edit the templates to adapt the system into my own design?:

A common question. You need to look at your own structure and see how the HTML is laid out. Start by editing the header and footer template and go from there. Using an include to load the system or loading the system via an iframe is not recommended.

I've enabled the search engine friendly urls but I see a 404 page not found or a 500 internal server error:

See the 'Features' page above.

Can you set the system up for me or adapt it into my own site?:

Of course, for a small fee or donation, so long as your site isn't mega complicated. Adapting into CMS is a definite no. CMS systems are big, bulky and overly clunky. Use the contact option on my website. If I'm very busy it may take a few days.

The date is sometimes displaying wrong. My server is X hours ahead or behind, can I adjust this?: Can I increase or decrease the amount of latest or most popular recipes?: Can I increase or decrease the amount of associated categories to show?: Can I show the amount of recipes in each category on the homepage?: Can I include the count of recipes in child categories when showing parent count?: Can I order recipes by ID instead of name?: Can I disable/enable the e-mail auto responders?: Can I change the date format?: Can I prevent placeholder images padding the recipe gallery?: Can I disable the main page header slideshow?:

The answer to all the above is YES. See the 'control/defined.php' file.

This system is the best. Can I offer you an insane amount of money for the sole rights?:

If your offer is reasonable and genuine we might be tempted. :p

Can I switch off the ability for visitors to submit recipes?:

Yes, see the 'control/defined.php' file.

I see Access denied for user 'XXX'@'localhost' (using password: YES). What gives?:

Your database connection information is incorrect. Check and try again.

Can I remove the 'Powered by' link in the header:

Sure. This is not required, but the footer link must remain in place. You can set this to off in the 'control/defined.php' file.

Can I use my own header logo?:

Of course, add your image and then link to it.

Can I highlight more than one checkbox in the admin CP to save time?:

Yep. Check the first, hold down the 'Shift' key, then check the last.

What is the 'robots.txt' for?:

From: robotstxt.org: "Web Robots (also known as Web Wanderers, Crawlers, or Spiders), are programs that traverse the Web automatically. Search engines such as Google use them to index the web content, spammers use them to scan for email addresses, and they have many other uses."

This file can prevent bots from accessing certain areas of your website. The Maian Recipe robots.txt file includes exclusions for many spam bots. Add more if necessary. Note that removing this file from your directory will not upset your recipe system or it's functionality.

Can I change the colours and make loads of HTML changes?:

yes, you can do what you want as long as the copyright remains in place.

Can I remove the footer copyright?:

Yes, you can pay a copyright fee. See the Maian Recipe website.

Where do I change the text in the system?:

content/lang/english.php
content/lang/email/*.txt

I think I've found a bug, what do I do?:

Contact us via the Maian Media website.

Can I have more image upload boxes, but only in the admin area?:

Sure. See the 'admin/control/defined.php' file.

Can I show the recipe info boxes in the admin area by default?:

No problem. See the 'admin/control/defined.php' file.

I can't log in to the admin area, what's my log in details?:

You would have set this on install in the 'control/_cfg.php' file.

Images are not being uploaded, what's wrong?:

Is the 'content/images/recipes' folder world writeable? ie: 0777 (or 0755 on some servers only).

I can't find this code or that code or that class. I can see it in the source code. Grr...its driving me nuts, where is it?:

Get a good search utility. Try Agent Ransack, it's FREE!
