Creative Web Specialist - An online portfolio and resource site of Warren Buckley

Unfortunately, the one in the Umbraco Packages area is yielding “Wrong Local header signature: 0xD200A0D” and such.

Because of my previous error from the repository, I downloaded the 096 package from here and installed. I received the following error. It was a brand new v3.0.0 site with only the blog package loaded. I’m running IE7 with the site running on Win2K3 server. Any ideas for me?

Also, what is the best way to back out the package or can I reload over the top once this is fixed?

James,
You need to use v3.0.1 of Umbraco as opposed to v3.0.0.

As there are errors using this website package with v3.0.0

Let me know how you get on James.
Warren

Warren, excellent work!

I’ve just installed 3.0.1 and your website package in less than 1 hour without any issues. Very impressed.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks for quick response. I also found the whole discussion on the forums; sorry for the duplication.

I upgraded to Umb3.0.1 and your package v.096 loaded successfully (from a browse local, didn’t try the one in repository). Thanks for the help.

Hello, sorry for this question… how do I install the Wizard into umbraco… a friend recommended your Wizard highly… well, but I am kind of computer illeterate and cannot find the repository … so I downloaded the zip file,… but now… thanks for a hint. Olaf

Hello Olaf,
It is good to hear you have been recommended.

If you have Umbraco v3.0.1 installed the easiest way to get to the repository is to goto the Developers section (bottom left hand corner).

Right click on the Macro’s folder and the context menu will appear.

From this menu select Import Package.

From this popup you can either browse to my zip file that you have downloaded OR either press the link to browse the repository.

The package in the repository is called “Creative Web Site Package”.

If you or anyone else needs any further help please feel free to leave another comment.

Warren

Hello,
I am very new to Umbraco. I have a simple question. I have downloaded the “Creative Web Site Package” and, like the note said, I have renamed in .umb

Where do I have to copy it?

thanks

HI Warren,
sorry for my previous silly question, I have already solved it. I would like to ask you if I could add a “Forum Package” on Umbraco V 3.0. Thank you

Paolo,
When you say “If I could add a ‘Forum Package’ on umbraco v3.0″ what do you mean by this?

Do you mean that you would like to add a forum package to your umbraco website

OR

Do you mean that you would like to contribute a Forum package to Umbraco?

Warren

Hello Warren,

I started to change the theme, it is not finished yed, but you can have a feeling what it’s going to be.
btw I’m trying to discover how to get the backgroundcolor of the sIfr font. What i’ve found on the net are only examples where they used classes instead of id’s.

cheers,
Jos van der Vleuten

Hi Warren
Just installed 3.0.1 and your latest website package.
FYI I had to create the Assets and js directories and add ASPNET user modify permissions before the package would install successfully. Will redevelop my own site based on the package and post once completed.
Hope the new job’s going well!
Cheers
Ben

Hiya Ben.
Good to hear from you. Yeh my online presence in umbraco and on MSN is lacking at the mo, as I concentrate on my new job.

I still hope to push this package to the umbraco community when I get some free time again - as I would had to loose all this work for the amount of time and effort I have put into it.

I will move Assets and JS into a standard umbraco folder in the next minor release, after that is to concentrate on theming.

Speak soon,
Warren

I am trying to install one of your website wizard packages, the one that shows up default when in the back end and go to repositories and website packages, but I get this error..
