WebAsyst interface changes
2008-09-10 14:07:00 In this new version we have substantially redesigned the main frame of WebAsyst user interface, including the services selection menu and the top panel with account name and logo. What has been changed: Using an iframes technique and HTML and javascript code optimization, we enabled the system to work faster – main menu is not reloaded when switching between services or navigating inside a service. You can now choose one of four positions for the main menu: Top, Left, Bottom, and Right (before you had only Left and Bottom). For every position user can select a convenient menu view: Icons and Names, Icons only, or Names only. This flexible tuning allows you to set a layout which is most suitable for your current screen resolution. Selected view will be remembered on a local computer in cookies. To manage these personal settings, simply click your name in the top line of your WebAsyst window. We changed the bright background colors in the service heading and toolbar. These eleme...

We reduce prices for WebAsyst software
2008-06-17 13:24:00 Effective today, June 17, 2008, WebAsyst™ software (php source code) licenses will be sold at substantially lower prices as outlined in the table below.

Previously, we sold our software at a higher price for one server license, which would support multiple databases. The main reason we have changed to single-database licensing is our new technological concept – public front-end in WebAsyst - which will give customers a better user experience, but with which is not technically feasible to handle multiple databases.

Expanding content area to the entire screen
2007-10-22 13:56:00 We have redesigned the Hide/Show Folders feature. There is a small “X” icon on the Folders pane caption. By clicking this icon you can hide the folder pane and expand main content area to the entire width of your browser. This function now utilizes AJAX and works quickly, without reloading the page. To see the Folder pane again, click the small icon that appears next to the folder name, as shown in the sample below: Some operations automatically reopen the Folders pane if it was previously hidden; e.g. Add Folder, Rename Folder, Add Link/Widget, etc., and usually move you out of the current folder. The auto-opening Folders pane simplifies navigation, and helps you to avoid confusion by clearly showing your new position in the Folders tree. More About: Screen , Entire , Content , Area , Tent
