Please explain "platform independent"
by carpeweb - Mar 3rd 2004 23:06:21
I'm confused by the claim that this is "platform independent",
followed closely by several dependencies (Apache, MySQL). Aren't these
platforms?
Bottom line: will this run on Windows IIS with MS SQL? I'm asking
because a) that's what my host provides and b) that's what a lot of
potential clients of my business use.
Thanks,
Jim

Re: Please explain "platform independent"

I believe the "platform" they are describing is the Operating System on
which this software can run. Both Apache, and MySQL are open source
services which will run on a UNIX or Microsoft based machine. If you, and
your clients already have an MS based server, installing these two free
software packages should not be a big deal. I did not see anything but
ANSI SQL, so perhaps Ms SQL would work, and IIS for displaying the HTML,
but if not, I'm sure it would not be a big deal for your provider to
install these packages as they do not have to pay licensing. Also if need
be, contact me, I provide hosting services with Apache and MySQL on a
10mbit backbone, and would be more than happy to assist you with your
hosting needs.
Hope this answers your questions.

Arthur J. Caiado

Re: Please explain "platform independent"

When people refer to a software as platform independant they refer to the
OS at the platform. MySQL and Apache are additional pieces of software
required by WebGUI to run, these pieces of software ALSO run on the
platform (being the OS.)
WebGUI does NOT run ON TOP of MySQL, but rather along with it.

Great Project
by David Rad - Jan 9th 2004 09:46:36
Been using it for over a year now. Very active. Great support by JT and
other contributors (though I subscribed). Easily configurable and
extensible. Improvements are made regularly. Overall great CMS!

The Documentation
by Sid - Jan 6th 2004 17:51:26
I have just one problem with this otherwise cool project
- that there is little documentation.
There is built in documentation, but it (IMO) gives you
only just enough information to try and figure out how
you should do something - frustrating when you're only
trying the program out.
Unless, of course, you want to pay for the privilege of
knowing how to use the application - (again IMO) I
think that's a bit cheeky considering the application isn't
the most user friendly of all.
The other thing is, I understand there is a license which
makes it hard to discuss the items in the book openly -
which is the only reason I won't buy it - I will attempt to
write my own documentation, without potentially
tainting it.
I must admit, I'm happy that they've made it GPL, so I
can look at the code to figure things out :-)

Re: The Documentation
by Rizen - Jan 6th 2004 21:36:41
I'm sure it's not politically correct for me to reply to a comment on my
own project, but I'm going to do it anyway because I have heard this
arguement from time to time and it really irks me.
We provide TONS of FREE documentation. There are over 100 pages of
online help built into the app. There are almost 200 pages of API
documentation in the code in POD format, which can be exported as HTML or
whatever else you like. We provide several free pieces of documentation on
our web site, including any docs that users have decided to contribute. We
provide a public message board so that people can ask questions for free.
And we created a network of world-wide WebGUI sites so that there are free
resources in 10 different languages. In short, we have more FREE
documentation than most projects have documentation at all.
Then we charge $50 for a years worth of updated tutorials, howtos, and
general tips and tricks in the form of Ruling WebGUI and people have the
nerve to complain about it. If you don't like it, then go buy Oracle
Portals for $250,000. You'd get the same functionality, and it would only
cost you 5,000 times more.
And as to the license of Ruling WebGUI, it simply says that you can't
republish the content. It doesn't say you can't talk about it. Any
commercial book vendor in the world would be pretty upset if you published
their content online for free.

Re: The Documentation

Hello Rizen,
Nothing politically incorrect about reading and
responding on comments to your own application! Glad
that you read it, to be honest...
But, I think you are confused with my, er, 'argument'.
I did admit that you have (free) documentation - but,
IMO, I do not believe that it is useful enough to quickly
get you off the ground - that was my point, which I still
think is true...
I believe to get much useful done, it's almost a
requirement to get the 'Ruling WebGUI' online book.
I don't think you can argue that heavily with that -
there isn't even a small tutorial letting you know how
the basics of a page are put together.
I'm taking your demo as an example - on the end of
the Getting Started page it says 'for more information
about administering WebGUI consider getting a copy of
"Ruling WebGUI".' - but no mention of any free support
there.
Your message near the end seems to get a bit
confrontational, so I'll ignore it.
I will add that I do like the project, I'm happy that it's
GPL - so I could make my own documentation from the
source if I wished...
Best regards,
Sid

WebGUI is a complex system. It has over 100,000 lines of code and thousands
of features. You cannot expect to just "pick it up". It takes a little
tinker time.
However, I concede that a short primer is needed, that's why we've added
one to WebGUI 6 (will be released shortly).

WebGUI totally rules, but seems a bit unpolished...
by Sean - Aug 11th 2003 11:37:07
I've chosen WebGUI for both a few personal Web
sites
and a corporate Web site to the functionality is
definitely there and I see a lot of room for growth. The
interface and over administration, however, is rather
unpolished. It seem that PLAINBLACK software is
relying on tech support for income so they intentionally
leave the installation process and interface raw and
cumbersome.
Purchasing a copy of their Ruling WebGUI
documentation for $50 has solved 85% of the problems
I've run across, but there were quite a few other issues
that I ran across that I needed to solve myself since I
didn't want to pay for support. I've outlined a few of
my solutions on my blog. Regardless of
the issues, WebGUI is still one of the best free CMS
solutions I've run across!

Simply The Best
by TGC - Jul 24th 2003 11:28:11
My company recently switched from Oracle Portals to WebGUI and we couldn't
be happier. It costs a lot less, it's faster, and it's way easier to use.
I'm not sure why people complain about how hard it is to install. If they
want to see hard, they should try installing Oracle Portals.

WebGUI from PlainBlack Software
by John Rowan - Mar 15th 2002 18:30:41
I've used several versions of this product in the last two months. Initial
setup takes some doing but after that it's a very slick web
development/maintenance tool. I was so impressed I redid my site using
WebGUI. They have some real nice stuff promissed in subsequent releases.
Looking for replacement for Frontpage, this is it.

Very cool.

We've been looking for something like this for a long time. The software is
great, though the installation could have been easier.

Do you suppose that could be because they offer an installation service
for a small fee ?
To their credit, they are very open about the difficulty of
installation.
