I tried this Export and share - #3 by christianlupus
but the cookbook stayed empty at the new place. I guess they have to be inserted in the database somehow.
Hey!
Can you please explain the steps you took?
Chris
Hey Chris thanks for that excellent question.
What I tried is
What you can always do (at the moment at least) is to go to the files app, navigate to the recipes folder and copy the folders of the recipes to share. The folders can be zipped and shared by just popping the recipe folders in the destination NC’s recipe folder.
In general, what happens is the following:
The cookbook currently has one (1!) folder where all recipes of a user is stored to/read from. Every 5 minutes, when you visit the cookbook app, the list of recipes in the database is compared to the list of recipes in the storage folder. So, if new recipes are stored in the correct location they are added. Similarly, removed recipes are removed from the database. So, the database is rebuild in regular intervals. Additionally, you can at any time trigger the sync process from the app’s settings (bottom left menu).
I suspect that the app does not find the recipes as they are not located correctly. Do you see any recipes in the cookbook at all? Maybe you could create any (almost empty) recipe manually just to make sure that
- you are using the correct folder (localization makes a difference here)
- you are using the correct folder structure (not accidentially a subfolder of what the app expects)
- The app actually reads the files and DB correctly
