(Answer) (Category) WebGUI FAQ : (Category) Unanswered Questions :
I am BRAND new with lots of questions
I have just inherited the framework only of our newly designed website in WebGUI. I know that it is a version of WebGUI 6, but I do not know which version or how to find out. Our technical manager just finished work at the end of September and although I have seen and heard about the wonderful WebGUI I have not worked in it at all and now I am just diving in with virtually no knowledge. Furthermore I am not a compuer person per se - I am a teacher and an empowerer of disadvantaged people and all about demystifying confusing and scary bodies of knowledge i.e. I don't speak the language. With that introduction I hope that my questions will sound too dumb that there will be understanding for a real person who is trying to make use of powerful technology to give people who need it a helping hand. I do not know which version of WebGUI I am using, how do I find out - asking the administrator is not an option - I am for all intents and purposes now the administrator. The question that is most pressing now is how do I track an asset - that is I know I have the asset either there is an asset proxy to it, or it was in the trash and I restored it, buthave no idea how to go about finding it. If I know the URL for it can I search my assets for it? Thanks for any patience and plain English guidance you can offer. PS - below this box in which I am typing in my question, it says Hide Attributions. What is an attribution? I am not ticking this box for now as it is not ticked at the minute

Welcome to WebGUI.

One of the easiest ways to determine your version of WebGUI is to "View Source" on a WebGUI page. The version is in the header.

The question that is most pressing now is how do I track an asset - that is I know I have the asset either there is an asset proxy to it, or it was in the trash and I restored it, buthave no idea how to go about finding it. If I know the URL for it can I search my assets for it?
When Admin is turned on, you can view Assets by entering the Admin, Assets part of the toolbar. Stuff on clipboard (copied/cut assets) will be on the admin toolbar under clipboard. I'd provide more specific answers if I had more information on what you were trying to accomplish.

It essentially means, hide who posted messages. My obscured email address would not be appended if I checked the box.
