Ristomeal is web application specific for restaurants, yacht, pizzerias, cafè that help to manage menu, dish, calendar and shopping list. Ristomeal is built with CodeIgniter, a powerfull PHP MVC framework, and you can install Ristomeal on your Linux Server with the LAMP stack.
We developped Ristomeal on this configuration: Debian 6 (squeeze), PHP 5.3.3-7+squeeze19, Apache 2.2.16, MySQL 5.1.63-0+squeeze1.
To install ristomeal on your hosting/server upload all the code in a custom directory, for example http://servername/ristomeal and follow the steps:
Modifiy the application/config/config.php and put you custom directory in the $config['base_url'] parameter, ie:
~~~~~~
$config['base_url'] = 'http://servername/ristomeal/';
~~~~~~
Modifiy the application/config/database.php with the information about your MySQL database
~~~~~~
$db['default']['hostname'] = 'server-ip';
$db['default']['database'] = 'database-name';
$db['default']['username'] = 'xxxx';
$db['default']['password'] = 'xxxx';
~~~~~~
Create a database on your MySQL server, for example using phpMyAdmin, called database-name (the same name used in the 2° point) and import the ristomealDemo.sql file contained in the database directory.
That's it! Open your browser at http://servername/ristomeal/index.php/home and login with this credential

It's possible to create custom template and print the menu in pdf, to change the style of a template modify the view.php file in the application/views/template/<yourtemplate>/</yourtemplate> directory. Due some issue with the dompdf configuration the css properties must be written in this view and not in a separate css file.
