btw for those of you interested, I made a little plugin for @enyawreklaw to showcase his VCC recipes on his website, you can view an example here:

Just need to create a quick recipe and don’t want to login but don’t want to lose your recipe??

Try out the screenshot button on the Create page

Simply create your recipe, click the Screenshot button, right click the image and “save as” name it how you will

@Grubby With the import of recipes being possible from ELR, can I ask whether it is possible to import from Juice Calculator?

Grubby · August 10, 2020, 10:39pm

What is juice calculator?

Tworrs · August 10, 2020, 10:43pm

It is an old recipe calculator that has been on ECF for some time now, I’ve been using it for a few years.
A guy who went as hotrod designed it but seems to have disappeared now, so has not been updated for a couple of years. Personally I have been very impressed with it but am concerned for the long term.

Does it have a recipe file? If it does, can you send it to me?

Tworrs · August 10, 2020, 10:47pm

http://diyjuicecalculator.com/

These are where to find it if you are interested

Tworrs · August 10, 2020, 10:48pm

TBH I am not sure where to find a recipe file

Grubby · August 10, 2020, 10:49pm

Oh god! What am I installing?!

Tworrs · August 10, 2020, 10:53pm

It is a very in depth programme with a hell of a lot of sections to it.

Haha does that make sense to you?

How to save a recipe to XML in that calc
Open a recipe → File → Save As

Tworrs · August 10, 2020, 10:59pm

I did export to XML however I could not upload to VC

Grubby · August 10, 2020, 11:03pm

You would need to archive it to send via PM but looking at that XML file that I just made, I think I would die trying to make that importable, which is a shame

Tworrs · August 10, 2020, 11:03pm

Also tried the Save As but can not upload as it’s not a pic

Tworrs · August 10, 2020, 11:04pm

I also tried to attach it to a PM but it would not

Tworrs · August 10, 2020, 11:05pm

Chuck it in the too hard basket mate, I’ll just spend some time inputting the recipes

Tworrs · August 10, 2020, 11:07pm

If you have downloaded the programme, you may find some interesting stuff in it.

Grubby · August 10, 2020, 11:11pm

Have you got a complete recipe? Mine was just 2 flavours, archive your XML file and send it over via PM.

Usually right click → archive → select zip

Drag and drop in a PM, I might be able to do something, it’s just finding the fields that need importing, writing the code to read the XML file, importing the fields to variables, writing functions to deal with the import of those variables, making sure the data is coherent etc
