    Saved Recipes Collections

    NOTICE: The link to this page is now in the footer area of every page on the site. In addition to that link, all recipe cards have a link. The link in the recipe index will be removed on June 1, 2022.

    Instructions

    You may access this recipe collection page directly from the Recipe Index page.

    When you select “+Collection”  in the recipe card on any recipe, it will add that recipe to the inbox here.

    The number of recipes you have in each collection at the end of that line.

    Select add collection if you have none or if you have collections the Edit to add, rename existing collections, or delete collections you don't need anymore. Think if it as a file drawer for recipes, it can have zero or a hundred recipes. You can move new recipes in or take them out.

    Create a new collection if you want. Name and stop editing to return to main page.

    Select to collection you want to add to.

    Choose add Item to move a recipe from the inbox to that collection.

    When you see two lines on the left of a recipe or a collection, that is where you grab it to move it around. (The Handle) You can change the order of things or move a recipe onto a collection.

    Once you've added more collections, you'll be able to drag them around on this initial page using the handle on the left.

    If you used the Add Item in the collection box then you will use the plus signs.

    The recipes may be in as many collections as you want. It will stay in your inbox until you delete it there. But deleting it in the inbox does not delete it in your collections.

    Use Columns and Groups to further organize the recipes within your collections.

    Remember that a small amount of data is stored in your browser. So, if you delete your browser data, you will delete your Saved Recipe Collections. I don't have this data, only you do.

        Hi Louise,
        Sorry your have a problem. I have a verbal discussion. See my comment on July 18, 2021 and the screen shots I added to the post. Here is the developers discussion, https://help.bootstrapped.ventures/article/153-recipe-collections-101

        Hopefully those will help.

        Hi Janet,

        Welcome to the blog. This feature is not my programing and is not quite "intuitive" to me but here is my brief tutorial. Please comment and ask if you still have issues.
        ___________________________________
        SCREENSHOTS JUST ADDED TO POST
        1) After you select to add to the collection in the recipe card, it goes to the inbox.

        2) Now on this page... If you want a new collection choose Edit Collections. Then, Add Collection and give the new collection a name then stop editing. You will then be back to this screen.

        3) Choose the collection you want to add a recipe to (assuming you have some in the inbox—there is a number to the right side of the box).

        4) You will have a screen with two boxes. One for recipes in the collection you chose and one for the inbox. "Grab" the recipe you want move from the "Inbox" into the collection by the two little dashs to the left of the recipe (you will see a hand when you have it right) and "drag it" into the other box (the collection).

        4b) You can also click the "add recipe" choice in the collection box and use the plus signs.

        5) When done, you can click "Your Collections" to be back here.

        6) When you see those little dashs, you can use then to move or rearrannge things like the order of recipes or collections)

        7) Remember, if you clear your browser files, these will disapper. They are stored on your computer. I don't have a copy of what you saved. That would involve me having your personal information to "sign-in" to my server. Bad for both of us.

        8) The link to this page will always be on the Recipe Index page near the top. Exact location may change a bit but it will always be there.

      Can’t figure out how to move a recipe from saved recipes to a collection. I added all collection “folders” that I wanted. Now I can’t figure out how to get the recipe out of saved recipes to the appropriate collection. I did read the directions but I must be missing something.

        Hi Jan.
        Click on the name of the collection you are adding it to. There should be a display of what is in that collection and an option to add from the inbox.

      Hi Dan. Unfortunately I did none of those things. I always use my iPhone and haven’t changed anything unless one of their automatic updates somehow changed it. I’m so disappointed. I had so many good recipes saved.

        Hi Sheree,
        I find iPhone updates unpredictable so probable correct. It makes you want to not do that again. I guess just bookmarking might be safer.

        Hi Sheree,
        Sorry but I have nothing for you. The entire file for this is saved on your hard drive. That makes it secure for you and me both. But also means I have no data on it. If you have cleared the cache or files on your hard drive, or had a hard drive issue of any type, that may be the cause.

        Also, it will be browser specific, so if you changed to a different browser or computer. It does not transfer.

In fact I may even go ahead and make it Friday night because I’m so anxious to try it out (and it’s making me so hungry now) ! My son is coming on Saturday to help me do a few things around here and I want to have time to help him do this will help give me some time. Yea! I will post again and let you know how it turns out!
      Thanks again so very much! I’m using your rub minus the liquid smoke! It made me sick once and I can’t stand the smell of it any more!
