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

Hello this is a very quick post to let you know I have updated the Twitter package for Umbraco to version 1.2.1 after David Conlisk of Web Garden contacted me that he couldn’t get the existing 1.2.0 of the twitter package to work with V4 of Umbraco. So yesterday I created 1.2.1 of the Twitter package which now works with V4 of Umbraco. The XSLT has not been changed but the DLL for the XSLT Extension is now installed via the standard Umbraco Package Actions, instead of the previous method of running custom install code in a .NET usercontrol.

For more information on how to use the package, visit this previous blog post.

Hello all.

Well it’s been a while sine I last posted on my blog and there has been a good reason for it, as I have been squirreling away and working on the NEW Creative Website Starter for Umbraco aka CWS2.

With CWS2 I have teamed up with ex-collegue and great designer Sam Grady of G-72 to give CWS a lovely lick of paint. If you have seen my previous CWS you can tell I was no designer :)

With this new version comes the following:

• A focus for this site to be used to help teach new users to the Umbraco CMS platform.
• .NET usercontrols written in C#
• XSLT & .NET code heavily commented to help understand what is going on.

What’s the plan for the future?

Now CWS2 is released my main focus is to write two documents, the first is an installation and how to configure CWS2 document and the second document is a technical explanation of how the site works and what the code is doing.
