Requirement

The web inteface makes use of the WiFi networking capabilities of the iPhone and iPod Touch to view, edit, insert and backup the recipes with a desktop computer.

All the recipes are stored in the device.

Before you can use the web interface, you will have to connect both your mobile device, and the computer, to the same WiFi network.

You can use the PC with the web browser like Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer 7-8 (with some limitation on the length of text inserted)

It is not required internet access.

Connection

From the main screen of the App tap the icon

The App will show a page like this:

Leave this page opened during the connection.

Go to on your PC and open you preferred browser.

Type the link in the browser exactly as you can see in the iPhone page

Troubleshooting

• The iPhone and the your computer must share the same access point. They need to be on the same sub-net.

• Type in the "http://" part of the URL provided for Wi-Fi Connect. Some browsers (such as Internet Explorer) may not accept the address with out the "http://". Type also :8080 at the end.

• Make sure that your phone does not "go to sleep" and disconnect from the network during the connection. If your phone goes to sleep, then the Wi-Fi connection will be lost.

• Try to disable the firewall on your computer.

Special thanks

I have to give a special thanks to John Giordano for the suggestion of the english text description of the App.

His advice was really useful.

Why so long time for release 1.6?

The long time is due a optimization for manage a very large database.

I'm current testing the App with a database of more than 18000 recipes.

Thank's for your patience.

Long recipes description and Internet Explorer (ricette con descrizione lunga ed Internet Explorer)

There appears to be a limit in the text length can be sent with Internet Explorer (for HTTP GET protocol). If You have some problem to import a long recipe with IE, try to use Mozilla Firefox.

Sembra esserci un problema di lunghezza del testo che può essere inviato con Internet Explorer (il limite sembra sul comando GET del protocollo HTTP). Se avete difficoltà ad inserire ricette con lunghe descrizioni provate ad usare Mozilla Firefox.

Breaking News (version 1.6 coming soon)

I'm working to support the import of mmf files (Meal Master format) and optimizing the database search function.

What new in the 1.6 release (coming soon)

The most important features will be:

- import mxp files (MasterCook)
- 2 new fields: 'notes' and 'cooking time'

the 1.5 version has been tested with all the beta of firmware 3.0.
The App will be submitted to Apple only when I'm reasonably sure that is stable.
