--This project will be self-integrated into Mambo CMS

Hello all,
I'v had a dream once, to own my own cooking website.
I really love cooking and culinary related topics, however coding is not really
my best best skill, cooking is :)
It has come to my attention that such services as this exist, and I'v decided to
give it a try.
So, below you will find a list of all the specific litte details for this
project. I think I'v listed everything that came to my head, but if something is
unclear, don't be shy to contact me.

** Transfer XML -> MySQL
- Curently the recipes database is spread over 10 .xml files.
- Make sure that each xml tag is conserved in the database. For example each
ingredient has 3 subfields: quantity, mesurement, name: they must be kept in the
database seperatly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
272,000 entries in the XML database currently. Some will be lost. You have
permission to get rid of the bad-formated ones, ones missing critical info and
so on. I expect at least 260,000+ recipes in the final database.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

** Recipe browsing. In the following order: page with links to main categories
-> page with subcategories -> recipe.
- Recipe browsing will be based on keywords. Each recipe's xml entry has a
keywords tag. This entry will be removed. Instead it will be replaced by a
nested hierarchy. Ex: Soups->Oriental->Grandma's Oriental Soup. the recipe's
keyword field would contain 'oriental soup' in this case. But its not always
that easy. Up to the coder to translate the keyword entry into a working
browsing method, you'r free to do it your way)
- Recipe must have a static url.
- Sections can be accessed 'verbally', for example
www.bla.com/recipes.php?cat=Soup would display the Soup CATEGORY,
www.bla.com/recipes.php?cat=Soup&sub=Oriental would goto the Oriental
SUBCATEGORY of the Soup category, and so on.
- Recipe can be accessed directly by it's Unique, non changing ID:
www.bla.com/recipes.php?r=1003 for example.

** Recipe searching, 2 styles.
- Standart. One box quick-search returns matches in the title (recipename field
in xml/sql)
- Advanced Search. lets users search by name, category, method, and can choose
to return results with or without a certain specific ingrediant.

** The page containing the recipe has:
- Recipe itself
- Recipe picture (if available, if none show 'click here to submit picture')
- Recipe rating (everyone)
- Recipe commenting (members only)
- e-mail to friend
- add/remove to personnal bookmark (for the user account system)
- print recipe (goes to blank formated page with logo,recipe,url)
- portion/ingredients calculator (portion*2 would echo each ingredient
quantity*2)
- ingredient calculator lb->kg, tbs->g, etc,etc,etc depending on context.

** At this point recipes have no pictures. Make an extra field in the MySQL DB
for that)

** Rating system is open to everyone on a 1 to 10 stars system
- on the page listing recipes (subcategory) display the rating
- on the recipe page, display the rating
- the rating is of course an average of all the votes a recipe received.

** Commenting is only open to members. Only members can leave comments on
recipes.

** User's account has a page with their bookmarked recipes listed by category,
submitted recipes by them along with a link to that recipe they can right-click
-> copy link and paste where needed, and so on. (userpage.php)
- Once again it'll be using Mambo's user system, so the coder will have to keep
that in mind and work alongside Mambo's scripting and user authenticating
system.

** Recipe submission system. (For Members Only) Users can submit recipes. When
they submit, recipes go into a temporary database. An admin section (for ME)
opens that database and lets me approve/reject submitted recipes wich is then
added into its corresponding category in the main mysql recipes database. The
submission form will have to have all the fields the mysql database will have,
including the 3-way ingredient system (quantity, mesurement, name), 10 fields
initially, expendable +5 with a click on a link or something??

** Show Top100 recipes page based on ranking

I think that covers everything. I don't need any design or anything. Just the
working 'backbone' on plain white .php pages so I will be able to easily
integrate into my current design and into Mambo CMS.
Attached you will find a sample of my xml database. So you can see it's layout
and if you will be able to handle the job.
