Bilingual pages in Business catalyst

Bilingual pages in Business catalyst
I consider myself more of a designer and I am not an expert in the various scripting languages that’s why I choose BC as my platform.
I’m getting more and more request for the development of bilingual web pages.
The pages are not the problem, what I’m looking for is a piece of code that will do the switching of pages without having to code individual HREF links onto what could be hundreds of pages.
The Canadian government mandates that all government related sites have to be bilingual English & French. That said I’m getting more and more request for companies for the development of bilingual web pages.
Example I have two identical pages with content English and French
Contactus-eng.html
Contactus-fra.html
I am looking for a one click solution that will work inside business catalyst that would send the user to the matching page in French like the examples of Canadian Government that I have below.

Can you recommend a solution that will work in business catalyst? Perhaps somewhere someone has developed a Web-app, Java Script or whatever it does not matter it just have to work.

Google translate is a waste of time and money for websites, it might get you 50% of the way there but it show your total disrespect for users wanting the translated language because it's just doesn't not work 100% (yet).
Frank: You can easily do this for all links, assuming I have read your request correctly, you just need to re-write all hrefs and do a replace on them to the URL's you want. You can do that with Javascript if you include a script in the header of every page.
Take a look at this I made up quick:

You'll have to identify to the javascript what page language you are currently on, you could do this a number of ways, I just set a element in the body tag, you could hard code it or other ways.

If I upload a site to FTP host (third party hosting), will my client have any kind of site management options like the dashboard page on Business Catalyst?

I am creating this website for a client, and they want to be able to take it once I'm finished and manage it on their own. However, they are not Adobe users, so I am using BlueHost to host the site instead of Business Catalyst. If I do this, will there be a way that they can view analytics or have any kind of management page like the dashboard in BC? With the new update, they can now use the in-browser editing option through a third party hosting site, but they would like to have something where they can view the analytics.
I've searched and searched to find an answer to this and haven't found one. I don't want the client to spend the money on the hosting site if it is not the best option for what they want. But, since they are not Adobe users, they can't use BC, and I don't want to use one of my free BC sites.
Please help!

You would have to add analytics etc yourself likely Google Analytics. As for a Dashboard, no they won't. On a side note, the client does not have to be an Adobe User to have it hosted on BC. You can just create the site, host it on BC and simply add them as an admin. They don't have to be an Adobe user.

Business Catalyst thinks I deleted my web form

I thought I may have found a way around Muse's weak forms implementation, by creating a web form on Business Catalyst > Site Manager > Web Forms.
I created a web form, set the email response, copied the html, inserted the HTML on a Muse page, published the site, filled out the form, and got this:
So I went back to the same page on Business Catalyst, deleted the web form I just made minutes ago, created it AGAIN from scratch, inserted the HTML in my Muse page, published it, filled out the form, and got the SAME ERROR message a second time.
I did not delete the form, but Business Catalyst thinks I did. :-(
How do I get around this "error of an ERROR?"
I noticed that there are THREE forms on BC with similar names (I only made ONE). To be sure that I'm working in the correct form, I COPIED it -- it now has the same name as before, plus the word "Copy." But when I open the copied form, all the fields are in the wrong order. I tried this several times, and this weirdness is consistent. Right now I'm really stumped on getting a decent (customized) form in Muse.
Thanks for any help.

Thank you, Vikas. That was the trick. :+)
I still don't understand what "submit a case" means, but I was able to get it to work, possibly not as you expected (?)
I had already published this site in its partially-developed state, when trying to get the form to also be published. So it was in the web page already, as the completed form.
All I did after reading your message was to go directly to businesscatalyst.com, create a new simple (unfinished) form, and then via Site Manager > Web Forms > More Actions > Add Web Form to a Web Page, choosing the contact page from my site in development.
When I opened the previously-uploaded site in my browser, the ENTIRE form was there as originally published, exactly as it was originally and formatted placed in Muse.
It works, but I confess it's about as UN-intuitive as it can be! :+)
Thanks again.

Muse will not download changes for Adobe Business Catalyst?

Saya it all. Make a change in Catalist try to sync with Catalist and it say... Text frame on page 'HOME' was modified on this web page, but the change could not be merged into Muse.

Hi,
This error happens in the case where the act of merging a text change from Business Catalyst could end up deleting a hyperlink in your text frame. In such cases, Muse leaves the text frame unchanged but warns you so you may merge the change manually.
The warning message identifies the text frame content, the containing page title, and a link to the web-page on Business Catalyst; that should help with the manual merge.
Thanks,
Abhishek

How do I make it so my client can edit Links in business catalyst when they create new pages?

Okay so essentially I have built a site in Muse uploaded to business catalyst and I've setup a site template so that the client can create new pages as each new course arrives, but how do I get the link from the homepage to link to the new page? basically I need the link to be editable.
What would be ideal is a kind of portfolio layout where there is a thumbnail and a new page but for my client to be able to add a new project adn it would create a thumbnail on the homepage and a new page that he can edit. Does anyone know of something like that possible in Business catalyst?

Hi
Editing with Business Catalyst only works with image or text editing , we cannot add new page or page items using in browser editing.
However, you can manage the site from BC end when your client and login to admin and add pages, modify etc, but if you re-publish the site from Muse then then changes will be overwritten.
Thanks,
Sanjit

After making a website with muse and launching it with Business Catalyst. My website gives a notice: To change this page, upload your website into the public_html directory. How can i upload my website into the public_html directory?

Hello,
I'm using a Mac and made a website with Muse. After making the website i published the site and launched this afterwards with Business Catalyst.
When i enter my website, i got the notification: To change this page, upload your website into the public_html directory.
Does anyone know how i can fix this? I'm a complete noob in this subject.
Thank u for reading

Could you post a link please?
BC does not give that message - Would be good to see if it is indeed BC.

In-Browser Editing disapears on some pages of my site in Business Catalyst

I uploaded an Adobe Muse Site to Business Catalyst as a temporary site so my client can proof it and learn how the in-browser editing works. The first two pages allow the elements to be edited by way of the Edit or Click buttons, but any of the inner pages do not have the ability to be edited. These pages can only be reach using the main navagation menu placed at the top of each inner page.
I should mention that I'm using the "Upgraded Content Editor" in "Site Settings" "Beta Features". If I turn that beta feature off, then there is no way to navagate to other pages because there is no "Pages" menu item present.
Please Help!
Thanks

Sorry for the confusion, but the problem occurs after getting into the site.
click on one of the locations then under the login is a link saying “Temporary Login Link” which will bring you to the home page
this link:
http://allaboardparentproof.businesscatalyst.com/AdminConsoleXT/icecube/home---on-the-huds on.html
you can edit these elements, but then click on any othe menu link - “Menu” Forms” etc.
The problem is when you get on any other page the edit ability disappears.
And if you look at the url you can see that it hasn’t change since the Home page.
If you replace the “home” in the url “home—- on-the-hudson.html” to “Menu” then it works properly.

Business Catalyst Help | Work with pages

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/using/pages.html

Ok, I can't seem to find a straight answer for this question anywhere online without something else I find contradicting it.
PLEASE can someone tell me if my clients can edit text and images on Muse sites within Business catalyst, admin?
Ido not care if it does not revert the changes to the muse application on my mac. I just want my clients to be able to maintain there text and images without contacting me.
If and when the design needs to be changed on the original muse file, I will simply update the Muse file to correspond with the site online then make the further changes after that.
I REALLY want to use Muse to create websites for my clients but if they can't update image/text content remotely then It's not going to work for me and 90% of freelance designers.
Please can someone clear this up for me.

Pages which base on a Business Catalyst template are not editable in Live-View?

As long as the page is not a template, all these neat new edit-features of Dreamweaver work without problems. But as soon as I create a template and define an editable region with the Business Catalyst Tag {tag_pagecontent}, the content put inside this regions is no longer editable in Live-View. Is this a bug or has it just been forgotten to implement?

Pleaes restate your problem's symptoms, and include some code
to
demonstrate.

Business Catalyst - Can I show different versions of my site pages to different types of visitors?

My organization's site is known to have three distinct type of a visitor - patient, parent, scientist.
Is it possible in Business Catalyst- and what is the best workflow - to create pages that allow to display a variation of content, based on who is viewing at the moment?
Promote certain items to the top for a patient, and other items to a scientist, for example?
Thanks, would appreciate any expert advice!

There are several ways you can accomplish that, the simplest is to have the three links ie patient, parent, scientist send the visitor to the relevant section of the site, but with each section maintaining the three links at the top.

Hi,
I have just checked at my end and it seems everything is working fine and I am able to edit even the English version pages.
Can you please try some other browser or in a different system to edit your site and check if you are able to do so.
Regards,
Rohit Nair

Revising muse pages offline and uploading to live site on Business Catalyst

I am about to make my Muse website live in Business Catalyst. However, I know that I will subsequently have to revise existing pages - the addition of some new content and also a couple of external links. I would feel more comfortable revising whole site offline and uploading my entire revised site as a replacement to Business Catalyst. I can see no instructions or info as to whether this is possible. Advice please.

You can edit/modify site contents and then upload to BC, while uploading to BC you can either use the existing site if you already have published the site or you can go with a new trial site.
If you are referring to replacement of any site in BC with new contents then the same process for site update will work. I am missing out something or you are looking for something else , then please correct me.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Is the license terms allow you to generate pages using Wizzard Business Catalyst and publish them on other servers. As the export side and run?

Our iPads work just fine behind a firewall and the Lightspeed filtering solution in an education environment. If your proxy solution cannot be configured to support IOS maybe you should be looking at another vendor. Products such as 8e6 and Lightspeed can be deployed without the use of a traditional proxy set up.

Maybe 4 or 5 years ago; but now the need to develop mobile ready sites or apps using HTML5, JavaScript and CSS has increased. PhoneGap is presently used more than before to the point that Adobe has recognize its popularity in many ways. Making it part of Dreamweaver is not in my opinion excess luggage. Developers have always the option to pick and choose what to use from Dreamweaver. Maybe a specific developer doesn't need the PHP features in Dreamweaver; that doesn't mean that feature has to be removed.
Most of the things we do with Dreamweaver can be done without it. Dreamweaver is there to help us save time and be more productive. This is why I feel that helpful features shouldn't be removed; instead they should be improved and solutions implemented to issues that sometime seem impossible to address.
