Description
A shortcode for displaying beer recipes. Now with Shortcake (Shortcode UI) integration!
- Link to a BeerXML document to display recipe details, style details, fermentables, hops, miscs, yeast, mash steps, fermentation schedule, and notes.
- Allows you to easily switch between U.S. & Metric measurements.
- Control if & how long recipe is cached.
- Allow readers to download the recipe directly.
It follows the basic format of:
[beerxml
recipe={URL}
metric=true|false
download=true|false
style=true|false
mash=true|false
fermentation=true|false
mhop=true|false
misc=true|false
actuals=true|false
cache=-1|{seconds to cache}]
Please note all options (minus recipe) are optional and have the following defaults:
- metric = false
- cache = 12 hours (60 x 60 x 12 seconds), -1 kills the cache and sets value to 0
- download = true
- style = true
- mash = true
- misc = true
- actuals = true
- fermentation = false
- mhop = false
