HelloI have tried to use a second extensions to create recipes in, but it has failed me too well, now I hear there are some of you who have tried to use K2 for this?Or am I looking to use an extensions which works to develop my own recipe collection?

Hi Sharky

OK, with K2 one of the main featured for you would be the nested categories, or categories within a category.

An example for you would be

Meat Dishes (category)
Pork Dishes (sub category)
Chicken Dishes (sub category)
Lamb Dishes (sub category)
Desserts (category)
Cakes (sub category)
Ices (sub category)
Puddings (sub category)
Blackberry (sub sub category)
Strawberry (sub sub category)

That would be a start of a structure.

Then you create your K2 Items (replaces joomla articles)
In your K2 items, you can then set tags as keywords to link the items.

You can also create extra field groups for ingredients that maybe you would need.

I have some documents over at K2joom.com which might help you get started or feel free to post more specific questions here, there are plenty of helpful users in the forums.

Many thanks for your reply.

I am now looking at it and came to think that it can be overwhelming many categories which can come in pull down menu on sight, but I have to try to get it to work as good as possible when I now want to use K2 for the task can be as low a standard template (document) which is set up to handle the recipes in K2?

I developed a recipes site with K2, it will be ready in about 2 weeks (online i mean, because now it`s on my pc :) )

so if you want help, send me a msg
