Sean, I am looking to integrate YooRecipe into our member site as well. We have purchased their component and made the request in their forum. I didn't see any posting from you, perhaps you could find our request and add your comments as well? The more visible the voice of the customer the greater the likelihood something will get done. FYI, I see that YooRecipe has hired developers to add a few features and it would be well-timed to enable integration of all those great new features into a social community and since they're opening up the code-base maybe now's the best time?

Here's their forum: http://www.yoorecipe.com/forum/9-feature-requests/4293-easysocial-integration.html#4991

Hello Eileen,

I just commented on your posts. I had previously communicated with them via eMails and have quite a few messages that went back and forth. Mark then gave them access to the application and documentation on the API.

Mark: Here is one of the request from Eileen on the YooRecipe forum:

I would like to see YooRecipe integrated with EasySocial component:

1) Add an EasySocial plugin app so a link to the user's created meals, recipes, favorites, etc. display in their dashboard. Enable the amount of information provided to be configurable by admin (i.e. only show 3 most recent recipes, 2 most recent favorites, etc.)

2) Write to the users stream when users create activity in your component. Enable which information is written to be configurable by admin.

3) Include badges to be awarded based on i) use of the component features (i.e. 10 recipes added earns "culinary talent" badge); ii) healthy eating targets (i.e. 1500 calorie meal plans created for an entire week hearn "healthy eater".

Mark: Here is the other post from Eileen on the YooRecipe forum:

I would like to request that these items:

1) The meal planner can be "messaged" to EasySocial members (i.e. a nutritionist sending a meal plan to a client, a Mom sending a plan to her sister)

2) The ingredients list links somehow to the US food & nutrition database so that individuals can track this information. Would make such a valuable and useful addition at this time when you're "in the code" anyway ;-)

3) Create and enable the award of badges via the EasySocial system, such as:

a) when...

Thanks for the heads up on this guys. They have already gotten in touch with me and I have already sent them the necessary tools they need We'll see if they can come up with something.

Here is the message just posted on the YooRecipe forum by their lead developer:

Hello Fellow YooRecipe Users,

Just to let you know that we do our best to achieve promised features.

We just released the shopping list features this morning and started a new development sprint to add a meal planner to YooRecipe.
Once meal planner is available, we EasySocialize YooRecipe

Regards,
Sylvain

Nice, thanks for updating Sean
