New CB and Joomla User - Advice Needed

Hey,

Great to meet you all.

I'm an online marketer of 7 years just been looking for software to start a new community I'm building. I've used Wordpress for years, but never really used Joomla.

I was interested in the CB Pro and Quickstart pro because it said that it was all configured and ready to go...

So, I purchased and installed.. and I seem to be a little lost. Maybe I installed too much stuff in one go :-)

My question:

1. I thought I saw there was a userguide and tutorials for CB Pro, but cannot find them. I saw the installation guide, but wondered if there is anything else which could help me.

2. Does anyone have a link to one or two sites which users CBPro out of the box, so I can see exactly what my site could be like and have a template to work off.

I have plenty more questions, but will do this slowly.. one at a time :-) I know this software is very powerful.

Thanks for your help,
Gavin

I'm an online marketer of 7 years just been looking for software to start a new community I'm building. I've used Wordpress for years, but never really used Joomla.

This may pose a bit of a problem. Joomla it self has a learning curve that needs to be learnt before learning CB it self. For example with Joomla you need to know Menu usage, Module usage, and ACL usage for a lot of things to make sense. I suggest checking out Joomlas documentation below.

1. I thought I saw there was a userguide and tutorials for CB Pro, but cannot find them. I saw the installation guide, but wondered if there is anything else which could help me.

We've a full CB documentation available for download in the Advanced downloads section that could be of great help.

2. Does anyone have a link to one or two sites which users CBPro out of the box, so I can see exactly what my site could be like and have a template to work off.

We have a clean CB Pro demo site below. It's simply J2.5 with CB Pro installed if you'd like to take a look at what to expect.
