umbraco template

Some other CMS's offer 'free' templates (and also templates you can purchase). Joomla!, for one.
Umbraco is certainly capable of this but the terminology does not exist.

There are "free" templates for Umbraco that I know of (by the definition given above).

One is Warren's Creative Website Wizard Package, http://packages.umbraco.org/packages/website-packages/creative-web-site-package?callback=&version=#

The other, would be the "Boost" install which comes with Umbraco v4.

I think its an interesting idea though, I mean, why aren't there more "templates" for Umbraco? Warren's wizard is great, so a few other, similar "packages" with different look and feel would be quite nice for people of differing development ability.

It might be a good idea to add the concept of Templates - its just a website starter package after all, so all it requires is a "templates" section in the package repository and/or the online Umbraco shop.

Example Joomla Templates:

open source cms umbraco

Umbraco is the choice of many organizations because of its no-cost, open-source licensing, its simplicity, and its unlimited potential. Umbraco provides a full-featured web content management system that is easy to use, simple to customize, and robust enough to run the largest sites such as wired.co.uk and asp.net.

Umbraco is in use on more than 85.000 web sites in nearly every language covering a myriad of industries. Some of the world's largest companies (Microsoft, Toyota) use Umbraco and some of the world's most innovative companies (examples?) use it as well. Businesses large and small choose Umbraco because it lets them build sites their way, develop custom features quickly, and perform ongoing site maintenance and updates with a simple and robust approach.

Umbraco is a free, open-source web cms built on the Microsoft .NET Framework. It is easy to use, simple to understand, and is highly extensible using industry-standard languages and patterns such as HTML, CSS, jQuery, and C#. Umbraco is powerful and flexible whether you're a cutting-edge designer or a hard-core code junkie.

FormatDateTime



Using FormatDateTime allows you to format a date, such as the node's createDate and updateDate XML attributes for example.

FormatDateTime('String Date', 'String Format')
String Date = The date you want to format
String Format = a coded string that is an example of the format you want to use (see below).
String Format Codes:

d = Short date format for current culture (eg. 01/03/10)

D = Long date format for current culture (eg. 1 March 2010)

Month
MMMM = Full month name spelled out ('August')
MMM = Abbreviated month name ('Aug')
MM = 2 digit month ('08')
M = 1 or 2 digit month ('8')

Note that if the 'M' format specifier is used alone, without other custom format strings, it is interpreted as the standard month day pattern format specifier. If the 'M' format specifier is passed with other custom format specifiers or the '%' character, it is interpreted as a custom format specifier.


Day
dddd = Full day of week ('Thursday')
ddd = Abbreviated day of the week ('Thu')
dd = 2 digit day ('06')
d = 1 or 2 digit day ('6')

Year
y or yy = 2 digit year ('99')
yyyy = 4 digit year ('1999')

Hour
h = 1 or 2 digit hour ('9')
hh = 2 digit hour ('09')
H = 24 hour ('21')

Minute
m = 1 or 2 digit minute ('3')
mm = 2 digit minute('03')
