Business Catalyst Crashing

Hi
I have a Problem with Business Catalyst within Dreamweaver.
The programme itself works fine but when i click anything to do with Business Catalyst it freezes and shuts the programme down.
I have re-installed several times and tried on both my PC and Laptop with no joy - i have even downloaded the trial to see if its a problem with the full edition and no luck...
Any ideas?
Im running
PC - Windows 7 Enterprise with 1GB nVidia GPU, i7 2600k 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD.
Laptop - Windows 7 Pro with 512MB nVidia GPU, i5, 4GB RAM and 320GB HDD.
Thanks

Updated to Adobe Muse 2014 this morning and have worked in it for the last 8 hours. Now when I try to publish the updated site to Business Catalyst for my client to preview it crashes everytime. I have tried just publishing altered files only, then tried the whole site again, and then tried publishing as a new site altogether. Thought I would then try to export as HTML in the hope of uploading the files via an FTP client and Muse crashes and locks up again. I am extremely stressed about this as I am in the last few days of of website I have been working on now with no issues since December. We are due to go live and my client needs to see it. I am desperate for an answer. It is not looking good. I am on an Apple Mac and have not had any isses publishing it for the last 6 months. Not very happy to say the least. Need desperate help.

Hi Zak, I got onto Adobe Customer Care Live Chat this morning and gave them the error message. After some trouble shooting with them it appears the older archived file of the site still publishes. I have now reverted back to the old file and copied and pasted out of the new file and from some ideas given to me by support I am now able to publish to Business Catalyst. It seems there was something corrupt within the new pages added yesterday. I have no idea if this would have still happened if I hadn't updated but I am glad it wasn't a Muse specific problem. I am loving using Muse and the support from Adobe has been excellent. Thanks everyone. By the way I do love the new version and apart from this hick up that lost me a few hours, aged me some more and gave me grey hair I really love Muse. Thanks again.

My hard Drive Crashed-how do I download my websites that were uploaded to business catalyst?

My HD crashed. Its got all my websites on it-no backup. The sites are still live on businesscatalyst. How do I download the files so I don't have to re-build them?

Hi
As you mentioned you have lost the Muse files. I am afraid, its not possible to recover the site in Adobe Muse via Business catalyst.
In this case, either you may rebuild the site in Muse or have the pages updated manually within BC.

Dreamweaver crashes when "initializing" Business Catalyst extension

Hi,
This was my first intent to use the the BC Extension for DW (CS4).
First I was able to open DW and to to connect to BC via the extension panel. I uploaded my website to BC as a trail site and then the problems startet. DW would crash with almost any step I took.
At least I was able to open DW again. But from the moment on, that I clicked "stay logged in" in the BC-Panel, DW crashes from the moment on, when "initializing" BC. That means, I just can´t use DW anymore, because the programme crashes before even opening.
Anyone any idea?
Thanks

Hi Ginoem50,
If you experience JavaScript error messages when using Business Catalyst extension with Dreamweaver clearing the cache of Dreamweaver almost always solves it.
So there are two ways of solving this issues.
The first one is to remove the extension through the Extension Manager and re-install it.
The second one is to clear Dreamwaver's cache. Its cache is kept in a file in its Configuration folder. That file name depends on OS:
For Windows it is WinFileCache-<randomString>.dat
For MAC it is MacFileCache-<randomString>.dat
Deleting of that file clears the cache. After restarting Dreamweaver is creating new one.Location of the cache file defers for each version and operating system.
Here is a list of locations depending on OS for Dreamweaver CS4
Vista & 7: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\<language>\Configuration
XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\<language>Configuration\
MAC: MacHD : Users : <username> : Library : Application Support : Adobe : Dreamweaver CS4 : <language> : Configuration :
Note that folders AppData in Vista and Application Data in Win XP are normally hidden. In order to unhidden them you need to:
    For Vista:
        Open new Windows Explorer window.
        Press Alt to reveal the text menu.
        Choose "Folder Options" from "Tools" menu. In the pop-up window go to "View" tab.
        In the list of options find "Hidden fles and folders" section and mark "Show hidden files and folders". Press ok to Apply the change and to cloce the pop-up.
    For Windows XP:
        Same as for Vista except that you don't need to press Alt in order to reveal the text menu. It is always visible

Dreamweaver Business Catalyst Extension Bug/crash

I am having trouble with that Business Catalyst extension in Dreamweaver CS6 ... to be exact, when i first installed Dreamweaver and the Business Catalyst extension with it, it worked perfectly fine, but after i clicked on the log out button on it, it stopped working completely and every time i try to log back into it, it crashes the whole Dreamweaver program... I have tried re-installing Dreamweaver, and it seamed to work again, but after i restarted my laptop, it stopped working again. I am guessing that it has something to do with the login, but have no idea how to fix it.
I am running on Windows 7 HP pavilion dv7 laptop with a 2.10 GHz processor, 4GB RAM and more than enough harddisck space for everything to run good.
I would rerally appreciate some help with this. Thanks in advance.

I have moved this from the Dreamweaver General Discussion forum to the Business Catalyst forum, where it's more likely to seen by someone who can help.

Does BC require any special ports open inbound for it to work. I have managed to get it working on a DW 5 install with the BC plugin but on a different machine! Still no joy with DW6 :-(

Dreamweaver CS6 CRASHES, When making new Business Catalyst Site

Whenever I click Site > New Business Catalyst Site , The loading screen comes up and then the whole program goes unrepsonsive and windows says to close program
I have Windows7 Home Premium , 16 GB RAM , AMD Phenom II x 6, 3.2 Ghz Black Edition , I don't think it's my computer speed
I have all firewalls off, i even disabled my anitvirus then tried again , and i get no error report on crash

Check the build number from the menu Help - About Dreamweaver - its 5842 else please update from Help - Updates or from the following blog link http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2012/07/dreamweaver-cs6-update-12-0-1.html
Is the emailID provided during installation of Dreamweaver CS6 valid one? Its the same ID which the BusinessCatalyst tries to signup with.
If there are already BC site connections in Dreamweaver, go to files panel and connect to it, provide the AdobeID password.
Else try opening Manage Site dialog and click on Import Business Catalyst site , provide the AdobeID password.

Can't use Hosting and Business Catalyst

I have full CC-Membership, but can't use Hosting and BC.
Following messages appearing on my CC-Account:
On the apps-Page:
"Full Creative Cloud Membership comes with hosting for up to 5 sites. View and manage these sites from the sidebar on the Creative Cloud home page."
On the sidebar
"Full Creative Cloud Membership comes with hosting for up to 5 sites."

Same. This had me perplexed too for a while. And the 'help' pages aren't particularly 'helpful', so I did little poking around in the apps themselves.
As it turns out, if you open up Dreamweaver and go to the 'Site' menu, there's an option to create a Business Catalyst test site from there (Dreamweaver helpfully crashed for me while doing this, but upon reopening it was all working). You pick a site name and subdomain, assign a local folder, it asks for your CC/Adobe credentials (because it would make too much sense to just sign in automatically) and you should be good to go.
After doing this and uploading a dummy test page, when I reloaded the Creative Cloud homepage it was now listing my test site undeneath the aforementioned confusing text in the sidebar.
Hope that helps.

Creative Cloud and existing Business Catalyst partners - FAQ

This FAQ will cover topics related to Creative Cloud, for existing Business Catalyst users.
How can I signup for Creative Cloud?
     Your Business Catalyst account should have been already updated right now with your Adobe ID. If you haven’t updated it yet, visit the Adobe ID – Business Catalyst account update FAQ.
What benefits do I get with Creative Cloud ?
     In addition to acccess to all Creative Suite programs, Lightroom and others in one place, a Creative Cloud membership enables you to host up to five Business Catalyst websites. These sites will be webBasics sites. For a full comparison between plans, see this page. If you purchase Muse or Dreamweaver as individual products in Creative Cloud, you can host one Business Catalyst website for each of them.
My web design shop has several employees, each with their own Business Catalyst login with access our Partner Portal. Do we need Adobe IDs for each of our employees?
    Yes. Since these users are partner users, they need to use an Adobe ID. Visit the Adobe ID – Business Catalyst account update FAQ for more details
I have a paid website that I want to host using my Creative Cloud subscription. Can I do this?
     This is not possible. You need to create a new webBasics temporary website in Business Catalyst and push it live.
Can I move a trial/live Creative Cloud site under a different Creative Cloud subscription?
      This is not possible right now.
Do I get any discount if I upgrade a Creative Cloud website to a higher Business Catalyst plan such as webMarketing or webCommerce?
      Currently there are no upgrade discounts for Creative Cloud members.
What are the limitations of the webBasics websites that come with Business Catalyst and Creative Cloud membership?
     You will be limited to 100 MB of storage and 1 additional user (such as your customer). You will not get email, SMS or newsletters for this web plan.
Can I buy more users? Can I buy more space? Can I buy email?
     We are working on creating this workflow but at this point we don’t have an exact release date for this feature.
How can I upgrade the webBasics websites that come with Creative Cloud to a higher Business Catalyst plan?
     We are working on creating this workflow but at this point we don’t have an exact release date for this feature.
Do I get any discount for purchasing more websites if I am a Creative Cloud subscriber?
     Right now there is no discount for Creative Cloud members.
If I am an existing Paid Partner and I have a few employees for whom I paid Creative Cloud subscriptions, how many websites can I claim?
     You will have 5 websites for each employee. However, you will pay different licenses for all of them. Before purchasing these licenses, please contact Adobe Support to add these users to your partner portal. After you have added users to your partner portal, you will be able to access all the websites from it.
*NOTE: If you have already add employees to your partner portal, then everything will work automatically.
If you don’t want to access all your websites from the same Partner Portal, you don’t have to do anything.
How can I set permissions for my employees regarding these websites? What permissions can I set?
      This will be part of a later Creative Cloud that will be launched this year.
What happens if I cancel or stop paying my Creative Cloud subscription?
     Each live website (among the free websites under your Creative Cloud subscription) will stay live for an additional 30 days. This gives you time to decide whether you want to keep the site(s) live or remove them. You will be prompted to upgrade your website to a regular Business Catalyst site plan.
     After 30 days, your website will enter in temporary mode. When entering the temporary mode, your custom domain name will be removed from the website. In order to reactivate it, pay for your website directly with Business Catalyst.
     If you are inactive on a temporary website, it will automatically be deleted.
=== Dreamweaver CS6 FAQ ===
I have logged in on Dreamweaver CS6 and I cannot see my partner site. How can I edit it?
This is a known issue. For paid partners (Standard or Premium) you can use the workaround described below:
export one of your sites as an .ste file
Open the .ste file in another text editor, and modify it
Replace the :
httpaddress with your partner's site URL address
secureURL with your partner site secure URL
siteid with the site ID of your partner site
Save the .ste file with another name
Import this .ste file into Dreamwaver, choose a local root folder
Please take a look at Brad's blog post here for more detailed steps on how to import your partner site in Dreamweaver.
I'm trying to login to Dreamweaver CS6 with my Business Catalyst credentials, and it doesn't work. What credentials do I need?
     You can login to Dreamweaver CS6 with your Adobe ID. If you haven't merged your BC account with an Adobe ID account, you'll need to merge it and then you should be able to login.
How do I access sites in Dreamweaver with an Adobe ID other than the one linked to my Creative Cloud or Dreamweaver subscription?
      Dreamweaver defaults to using the Adobe ID from your subscription to avoid the inconvenience of logging in multiple times. To use a different ID, just click the "Logout" button in the lower-right hand corner of the Business Catalyst panel and log in with a different Adobe ID:
You'll need to have a file open in an existing BC site for the "Logout" button to be visible. Logging out will not affect the Adobe ID used in conjunction with your Dreamweaver subscription. To change the Adobe ID for your subscription, click Help -> Deactivate.

At this point the upgrade workflow is not functional just yet, as mentioned here: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2153
So the webBasics Creative Cloud cannot be upgraded directly to the webBasics+ level for now.
But a workaround for this case would be to re-publish your Dreamweaver/Muse project (I suppose you've used one of these solutions to build the site in the first place, right?) in a new trial/temporary site -> let us know what is the URL of that site (don't push it live) -> we will change the site plan from our backend to webBasics+ -> you will be able to publish it using the webBasics+ site plan.
Please note that this is going to be a separate charge, besides your Creative Cloud subscription. The monthly fee for webBasics+ will be $12.21/month, as mentioned here: http://www.adobe.com/products/business-catalyst/buying-guide-subscriptions.html
Another way to use the webBasics+ plan would be to simply trigger a new trial site here: https://syd.worldsecuresystems.com/PartnerPortal/FreeTrialSignup.aspx#splash with the same Adobe ID as the one used to buy the Creative Cloud subscription and take that site live separately.

Photo Gallery thumbnails in business catalyst render in different sizes in different browsers

Photo Gallery thumbnails in business catalyst render in different sizes in safari and chrome but are fine in firefox. What is the issue with Safari? I have tried the different algorithm options such as fill_proportional etc and firefox is the only browser that displays correctly. I thought safari was the most standards compatible browser - what's the problem here?

Hi,
If you have seperate XML file but with the same basic structure then you can change the XML a Spry dataset refers to and regenerate the spry region without reloading the full page.
So on my photo gallery page I can change the album the photos are shown from via the seturl sprydata function as below. dsPhotos being my Spry dataset that points to the relevant XML dataset with my image references and captions etc. My XML is actually dynamically generated from Picasa RSS feeds (and RSS feeds are XML) but the principle will be the same with your static XML.
First I add an event listener for when someone clicks on an album (the li tag within my div with the id "albums" holds a photo and title for each album.)
function Albums()
var myalbums = Spry.$$("#albums li", "TabbedPanels1")
var rows = dsAlbums.getData();
var setListener = function( element, value )
Spry.Utils.addEventListener( element, "click", function(){ showAlbum( value ); },false );
for( var i = 0, length = myalbums.length; i < length; i++ )
setListener( myalbums[i], i );
Then this is the code which changes the photo album to be shown. (when the user clicks the relevant album)
function showAlbum(i)
pauseShow();
pImage = 'No';
var rows = dsAlbums.getData();
var albumid = rows[i]["albumid"];
var url = "xml/PicasaAphotoFeed.asp?albumid=" + albumid;
dsPhotos.setURL(url);
dsPhotos.loadData();
var rowcount = dsAlbums.getRowCount() - 1;
var nextalbum;
var navnext;
var n;
The page is here www.thehmc.co.uk/photo5.html is you want to see it in context.
In your case showAlbum would switch between Frank.xml or Wolfie.xml depending on how you decide to name your xml datasets.
Regards
Phil

Help with code for inserting horizontal scroll bar in photo gallery in Business Catalyst site?

Hi,
I am using Business Catalyst and Dreamweaver to create a trial site.
I am not sure if this is the correct forum to post this request but anyway I have inserted a photo gallery module at the bottom of the sidebar in the homepage of my test site.
Can anyone advise on whether jquery or any other code can be inserted into the page or module code that will replace the "next" hyperlink below the first 4 photos with a horizontal scroll bar at bottom of the gallery so users can just scroll through all 12 images ?
Kind Regards, Matt.

Alyssa,
Have you tried putting this rule back as it was originally:
/* Submenu that is showing with class designation MenuBarSubmenuVisible, we set left to auto so it comes onto the screen below its parent menu item */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul.MenuBarSubmenuVisible
    left: auto; /*was 9px*/
    color: #EF9CCF;
    background-color: #FFF;
That is, changing your 9px back to auto.
And giving us a link (as you did) is much better than printing out the code for us! Thanks!
Beth

What is up with the Help and Support Section for Business Catalyst?

It has been very difficult for my customers and myself to access the help and support section of the site for Business Catalyst issues as we are constantly diverted to non-related Abode issues. The portal for support on Business Catalyst issue needs to be ISOLATED from ADOBE's main support section. It is bad enough that there are so many issues to deal with, but to add all the issues for all the applications is simply impossible to decipher and discover a solution.
Before the Adobe integration on the Cloud services it was much more simpler, wiith a much more efficient and cleaner layout, now every page looks like its generated by a bot that doesn't understand what I am looking for. Even the actual URL of the page is hidden so I can't even book mark it without opening the frame in a new window. My clients will not know how to do that.
Simplify plesase!
Teejay

Teejay,
Yes we are looking into this very thing and hope to improve this very soon. Not only making things a bit clearer but also a central location for all your BC support needs.
Kind regards,

How do I link my Creative Cloud account with Business Catalyst Web Hosting service?

Hello,
I'm having difficulty understanding how to access the Business Catalyst service. I have attempted to log in directly to businesscatalyst.com/admin but continue to receive an error login message stating that my username and password are not recognized. I was not able to create a new business catalyst website via Dreamweaver either, despite having successfully logged into my Adobe Cloud account.
The only way I was able to set-up a website for use with Business Catalyst was by logging in via http://www.adobe.com/products/business-catalyst.html, and pressing the "try now" button, which allowed me to create a demo site. This also allowed me to log into BC, but when I attempted to upgrade the site from a trial to the webbasic service, I am asked for a payment method.
I understand that the creative cloud service includes basic web hosting for up to 5 sites and should work seamlessly with DW or Muse, or using the InContext editing options provided via browser, but I am unable to truly access any of this content. Am I doing something wrong here?
Thank you

Please approach our support and supply them with your Adobe ID and the site URL you want to take live and they will do this for you in couple of minutes.
Cheers,

Why do emails from Business Catalyst site not show up on iPhone?

I have an email setup on my own Business Catalyst website with a few alias's. The email account is setup in my Outlook 07 Windows 7 64 pro desktop, and I can send and receive emails from all of the alias's and the main email. However I am noticing that on some emails from clients, I get the email on my desktop Outlook 07, but it never shows up on my iPhone.
EXAMPLE: Today I received an email at 12:57pm. It shows on my desktop. But never showed up on my iPhone. Once I saw this I forwarded the message from my desktop to the same email address that my client had sent his email to. Once I did that I did get the forwarded email of the original email on my iPhone. And yes, I have received other emails from the same client email address before on several occasions.
Problem is that I left my office at 12:15 and did not see this 12:57 email until I got back to the office much later in the day. And thus, ending my day very badly due to.....??? A) the Business Catalyst email I have setup is not setup correctly B) my email settings in my iPhone is not setup correctly.
Wondering if anybody else has experienced the same issue and figured out what step was missed.

Hi bluetaildesign,
Not sure how is that working on one instance but not other. Can you please try to use mail.b.hostedemail.com as incoming and/or outgoing mail server on iphone and try again. This hostname has the SSL certificate installed on it and can be used for transferring the emails in a secured manner.
Hope that helps!
Kind Regards,

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
