I made a fresh install with 7.0.1 and created the documenttypes and properties etc. manually. I have a pretty good site running now, without the package installed. I also had another site with the package to compare with.
My advice is to make another site and create what you need manually...
This package is not compatible with U7. As I said before, build it manually again or wait until the package is updated. I guess this could take some time though, because U7 is a complete new build and a lot is rewritten.
Could you please mark a post as the solution if it helped you.
Hi Rasmus. Yes I sort of come to that conclusion already. Shame as this starter kit was a really good way of getting a site that meets our requirement up and running quickly and I used it to sell Umbraco to the organisation. I guess it shouldn't take too long to re-create once I know what I'm doing though
Out of interest did you create your version using exactly the same Document types/names as the starter kit? I noticed some tutorials and newer starter kits use "text page" doc type (or something similar) and wondered if that was a de-facto standard?
Errors in some pages in new installation of Umbraco 7
I've done a fresh install of Umbraco 7 and have applied the standard website starter kit to it.
Some pages are ok but on others I get the following message
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
the offending line of code is
var nodeIds = Model.GetPropertyValue<string>("contentPanels").Split(',');Is this a bug in v7 or is the starter kit using discontinued features - Can anyone help ? thanks
Its because you havent created a contentpanel for the specific page you are trying to open. Create a contentpanel or nest the code in a try catch...
Rasmus
or even better contain it in: if (Model.Content.HasProperty("contentPanels"))
Thanks for the tips Rasmus.
This is with the "out of the box" installation of the basic website starter kit package which worked fine when installed on v6
So I guess that package isn't yet fully compatible with v7
I just installed the standard website starter kit using v 7.0.1 and it's now up and running and seems to be ok
The differences apart from using 7.0.1 instead of 7.0 were installing through web matrix on a different machine, and using SQL CE
I spoke too soon. Although the website now runs ok, If I try and create a new page I get
Server error: Contact administrator, see log for full details.Failed to retreive data for empty content item type StandardThe standard document type is there but I don't know enough about Umbraco yet to work out what's wrong with it...

that will also give you a good insight in how Umbraco actually works ;-)

What starterkit is this? - website implementations shouldnt change between v6 and v7 - so templates, macros etc that work in V6 should also work in V7
This is the one....
