Hi all.. Complete newbie to Umbraco here  ... Just downloaded and am about to install and have a playaround. The screenshots look amazing  , and I was wondering if you 'seasoned' umbraco's could point me in the direction of where you would start if you were me? As in any good addons.. Good beginner tutorials about how to make the most of it... Just the usual Thanks in advance! And I hope to try and contribute over the coming months myself

As a starting point I would highly recommend you install my website wizard package from the package repository. In v3 this can be achieved with an empty umbraco installation. Goto the Developer Section Right click Macros Select Import Package Click Open the repository (Recommended) Select Website Packages Select Creative Web Site Package Then click download and install This will give you an example site, which you can then look at all the templates, CSS, macros etc it installs to see how they all work together. //Warren

Hello, I've just installed an instance of Umbraco, and I find I am unable to right-click on "macros" and install a package - all I get is the normal right click options. Is there a manual way to install packages?

Pffeeuh, wouldn't want to install manually, that's what packages are for. If you still want to go the manual way: Each package holds all files for installation and a metadata xml file. If you'd have a look at the metadata xml, you'll soon find out what files to copy and which files and content (Media/css/templates/xslt's...) should be created. I would try to find out why you don't get the context menu on right-click. Did you get javascript errors? Also, could you tell us more about version/os/browser you're using? If using ff, have a look hereHope that helps a bit. Regards /Dirk

Thanks for the prompt response. I tried this in all browsers (FireFox 3, IE6, IE6, Safari) under Windows XP - and even after the fix suggested in the post, I don't seem to have any luck... I'm not seeing javascript errors either.

Actually, I was incorrect - I am getting a "showContextMenu is not defined" error...
