WebGUI is a content management system and application framework with which a website can be easily managed and set up without having to possess extensive technical knowledge. It includes a photo album, blog, forum, rss feeds and a soap frontend. For more information, it is useful to description of the program, or take a look at the website from Wossa.

gotchas:

(Please consult the entire gotchas.txt file in WebGUI/docs if you’re upgrading from a version other than 7.3.8 for other important information)
• This upgrade may appear to freeze when it gets to the “Adding thread rating column” step, especially if your site has a large number of collaboration systems and posts. Let it run, it’s working. We have to calculate the rating for every single post and it can take upwards of an hour on large sites.
• If you’re using the Events Management System and have a custom checkout template, you will need to use the following template variables to implement the fix: isError, errorLoop, error. Documentation on their use is in the online help and you can also look at the default template for an example use.
• The c_companyName macro now uses HTML encodings for comma and single quote to make it safe to embed inside other macros.
