Umbraco is quite extensible via many different methods. One way of installing these various extensions is to install a package which has all the files and settings needed for the extension to work. These extensions can be anything from new sections in umbraco to simple macros that create new presentation functionality. Below are the packages that I have created for use in umbraco.
- Yahoo! Maps
The Yahoo!Maps Package creates a macro that allows umbraco users to quicly and easily include a dynamic map of their choise upon any page. The user has full control over which elements are visible on the map, the size of the map, and even the address of the map. - WebHelp
COMING SOON - I was looking around the net for a web-based help system that was easy to use, and had all the features. Well, I found a few that cost a lot more than I wanted to pay, and thought I would just create one in umbraco, demonstrating the power of templates and some macros. - Redirect
Umbraco has a handy method of redirecting to internal nodes simply by picking the desired destination from a content picker control, but that does not always provide the desired effect. I had a need to redirect a node to something else, thus I created this simple control to allow you to redirect to a url string. - Google Maps
The GoogleMaps Package creates a macro that allows umbraco users to quicly and easily include a dynamic map of their choise upon any page. The user has full control over which elements are visible on the map, the size of the map, and even the address of the map. - Where In The World
COMING SOON - A variation on the Google Maps Package, I have combined the world of comments, and the world of maps into one handy package. Makes commenting fun. - QuickEdit
COMING SOON? - Get tired of needing to make a simple change, and you have to wait forever for the umbraco gui to load up? Wait no more. With the QuickEdit package, you can navigate your site and edit your page with a click of the mouse. - AutoFormPlus
One form to rule them all.. Not really, but a pretty easy method to allow general users to create basic forms using umbraco document types and macros...
