BeerSmith XML Tags ((Updated))

That would be great, Brad.

Decimal number seperated with a decimal point is fine.

Until then I'll convert between hex and dec, no problem. Decimal notation is just easier.

Here's a few more for recipes I found:
  $BITTERNESS_RATIO - shows the BU:GU ratio (per Ray Daniels book)
  $TOTAL_HOPS - shows the total amount of hops in the recipe
  $TOTAL_GRAINS - total grains for the recipe.

Cheers,
Brad

I added $BITTERNESS_RATIO to the confirmed working tags. However I did not update the Brewsheet. If you would like you can edit line 122 with ( <td width="52%">Bitterness Ratio: $BITTERNESS_RATIO</td>) and then it will show up on yours.

Maybe I will get back on this project at some point in the near future.

I have a slightly different problem. I'd like to add custom images to different reports. So if I have a recipe named Mentat Marzen and want to add the image Mentat Marzen.jpg in the html, how can I do that? I have tried a number of different lines such as the following.

src="./images/$NAME.jpg"
src="./images/${NAME}.jpg"
src="./images/\$NAME.jpg"

I have also tried a number of different quote options with no luck. I can get src="./images/ $NAME .jpg" to work, but that line requires post processing to remove the spaces. Is there a way to get one of the beersmith variables into a string?

Thanks,

A very happy beersmith user.

Yeah, I name most of my brews in some kind of Dune way. Mentat Marzen, Golden Path Hefeweizen, Muad Dib Spice Ale, Tears of the Maker ESB, etc. Lots of neat graphics that I'd like to get into the reports.

Hi,

is there a way to get the recipe in xml-format in a tag? Something like $XML, and all elements are returned. <RECIPE .... </RECIPE>
That way, I can parse it through some xsl, and do my own thing.

Regards,
Robert

Go to the "My Recipes" section where your recipes are. Highlight a recipe and use the Drop down box, choose BeerXML.

Hi,
   true, that will only give me the XML. But I would like to use the recipe-xml in a ".htm"-report.
Is there a way to get all (and only) the recipe data - without any generated html?

For instance $FERMENTABLES does not just give you the data, it generates a html table with four columns and x rows.

Regards,
Robert

[UselessBrewing]

I don't believe so. The Recipe data is stored in the Recipe.bsm which is referenced by BeerSmith when you open a recipe.

I was looking for the var that represents "Effec into Boiler" and was wondering if that was just a calculation evaluated whenever you are in the "Brewhouse Effec" screen.  I don't see anything like it in the xml output...

[UselessBrewing]

I'm pretty sure this is a calculation and not a variable. Maybe Brad could chime in on this one.

Cheers
Preston

[BeerSmith]

Yes,
  I don't think I have added that one yet - sorry!

Thanks for the answer!

You know, not a big deal in any way - I just happen to be "testing" batches to try and get a consistent rate/ratio and that value has some importance to me at the moment.  In another month, it won't

Thanks again.

Hi Preston,

I have tried some of those last datatypes and tags in your latest post, like FERMENTABLES, HOPS, etc.  I couldn't get any success with them in a Recipe Report.

For example, <HOPS></HOPS> can contain several individual <HOP></HOP> datatypes, and the tags such as TYPE, BETA%, ALPHA%, etc. are tied to these <HOP></HOP> pairs, not the encompassing <HOPS></HOPS> datatype.  Question is, how do we enumerate through the <HOPS></HOPS> datatype to get to reference the individual <HOP></HOP> datatypes?

I think it's a similar situation for FERMENTABLES, MISCS, WATERS, and YEASTS. We need to somehow pinpoint the individual entities in those groups in order to get anything to show in a report.

Let us know if you have any success, as I haven't been able to get these to show up.

Cheers,
Tony

Just wondering if there's been an update on this?

I'm trying to output the water profile into my brewsheet.

Cheers :-)
