Frontend:
rapidrecipe.class.php
rapidrecipe.html.php
rapidrecipe.php

Administration:
admin.rapidrecipe.php
1) Fixed the date in rss for recipes

2) Fixed images calls: it now uses the mosconfig_liveSite so that all images always work even if the site
is not on the root directory of the domains html.

3) Fixed breadcrumbs (it was showing the component 2 times

4) Made the "Rate this recipe" links to be "nofollow"

5) Fixed error in xajax that was returning an error in the error log (not visible to users)

6) When doing "send a recipe" made it to toggle the message over the recipe instead of opening a javascript alert.

7) Introduced code for the cooperation of the rapid-recipe with the ingredients component

8) Added a new feature for creating a javascript each time the featured recipe changes. Using that javascript we can have
a dynamic link to other websites for our site.
Usage: give to the other webmasters the following script to use (replace with your domain):

<script language="javascript" src="http://www.sintagespareas.gr/cache/featuredrec.js"></script>

If you change manually the featured recipe or you add an image or you do any other change and you want to recreate the
javascript (or the first time after you upgrade) you will need to go to your front end at the url
index.php?option=com_rapidrecipe&page=recreatejavascript

10) added 3 new configuration values: "Show recipe date", "Show recipe author", "Show recipe rating"

11) Made the pagination in recipe listing pages to work with the default joomla pagination
 (and so it takes the appearance from the joomla template) for better integration
 
12) Optimised the sqls in the "show all recipes of category" pages. In cases where we are looking in a category
with a lot of subcategories this change runs less queries.

13) Got rid of the configuration parameter "rec_per_page" (recipes per page) and started using the
default joomla configuration value.

14) Fixed issue with the additional pages (of recipe listings) in the sef_ext.php (for openSef and nuSef)
