Installing the Macro in Umbraco
- Login to Umbraco Developer section, for example http://www.myblog.com/umbraco/
- From the tree, expand the Packages folder.
- From here there are two ways to install a package: select Install local package
or browse the Umbraco Package Respository.
- If you install local package, do not unzip the package but load the zip into Umbraco.
- Follow the instructions on screen
Note: You may get a ‘Maximum request length exceeded’ error when installing. You can easily fix this issue by updating the ‘maxRequestLength’ value in your Umbraco web.config file.
<httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0" enableVersionHeader="false"
maxRequestLength="25000" />
