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.

What alternative CMS are there to Business Catalyst which work with Muse?

Hi there,
We built a new site in Muse and started using BC (for the CMS) over a year ago, and while we're very pleased with how the site now looks and performs, we feel we've outgrown BC/the CMS.
What alternatives do we have for the CMS that will work with Muse?
If it helps...
- We'd like a better search facility that can look at individual categories as we have several content holders such as News, Jobs, Features articles etc
- A page numbering system rather than a long list of items stored in the content holder (news items etc). IE at the bottom you see 1, 2, 3, 4, etc
- Tags - so key phrases or categories are suggested/shown with a value of news items
Any help much appreciated
Regards
Tom

Hi Tom,
Just showing my support to your question. I have found Catalyst a NON-2015 CMS, and I would really like to hear we have more options for managing our Muse made websites.
Any answer from the Adobe team?

Getting Business Catalyst Forms working with Muse in Webmarketing Package

Hi All,
I am having problems with forms using BC Webmarketing packaging and Muse.
When I past the html code for the BC form into a Muse page then upload it I get the following error message
http://www.virtualteacher.com.au/images/error-webform.jpg
and the web form is deleted from my Business Catalyst web Forms list.
What is the best solution for integration between BC and Muse.
I want to be continually updating aspects of both.
Can I quarantine some BC pages that Muse will not update?
Any suggestions would be great.
ciao
Cathy

Hi Sanjit,
The problem is that when I update the Muse template page with the BC code
{tag_pagecontent}
The Business Catalyst template it is based on this doesn't update or screws up the page.
Registration
The form is there as I have used it a number of times but the template page doesn't load properly
ciao

Check to see if your Mac supports Mavericks (assuming that's what you're trying to install since you're in the Mavericks forum).
To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac also needs:
OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
2 GB or more of memory
8 GB or more of available space

Working with Pages and Word-questions!

NOTE: Sorry for the similarity of this to my post a few minutes ago titled "Which do I use, Pages or Word)? I learned some things through experimentation and have created subtler and more challenging questions for you.
Help me out here (please). I am now working with Pages, sharing documents with dozens of behind the times colleagues who are using some old program called "Word." It's my job to work with these people and I'm trying to make it as easy for everyone as possible.
Do I have this right? When I create a document (or open an old Word document into pages), in order to be able to share it with people, I save it, and check the box to save a copy in Word format. Then when I send my documents, it works like a charm. Yes?
If I start by opening a Word document, and every time I save I check "save copy to Word," I end up with only one document, no version in Pages. If I start with a Pages document, or save without checking the box, I end up with two separate versions of the document (like when I create a pdf)? It appears that if I I want to keep working in the Word format, every time I save it will give me a dialog box and make me check the box (and possibly select my location). This is cumbersome since I am now in the habit of saving often (you learn that when you work with Word for the Mac for any period of time--bomb, bomb, bomb). So, an I correct in assuming that if I want to save regularly, I really have to work in Pages, and then be scrupulous about saving into Word when I'm done for the day, or just before I send? It's sort of a pain in the butt, although I can learn to do it--I just want to make sure I'm not missing something here. Also, is there an autosave function so I don't have to rely on my discipline? Or does it never ever bomb?
What happens if I open the Word version and make changes to it? Do I have to do something differently to make sure I have both versions identical? Am I better off always to open the Pages document to work on, then save and send?
Do I always then have two versions of the same document (like I would if I did this same thing with pdf)?
How do I make sure that the Word version is always up to date since that is the one I am sending to colleagues? Do I always have to save and check the box, and then select the correct document to send?
I do see that when sending a single document I can easily send it while I am in the document itself. When I do this, selecting to send it as a Word document (or a pdf for that matter), will it send the version I most recently saved, or the version that is on my screen (if I forgot to save changes)?
FInally, I'd be open to any tips from people working regularly with others who must use Word. I want it to work as simply as possible, but want to set up some good habits from the beginning.
Finally, finally, have you had problems with compatibility. I have to say that there have been very few Word document yet that I've opened that I haven't gotten a message that says that Pages doesn't support some aspect of the document and formatting is removed, or spacing is different, etc. The most common is that "paragraph borders operate differently so all borders except outside borders have been removed." I'm a bit nervous about this--will I be getting documents from others that I can't trust? Will I have to ask them to send a pdf as well so I can confirm that I got it right? Can anyone ease my mind? Or am I living in reality?
Thanks a million!

Well yes they are not the same program so there will be differences.
For example Pages only allows a border all the way around a paragraph with few options on the style of line, which is why you got the warning.
A workflow would consist of you doing your work in Pages however you like it and when you have finished and saved, making a Word copy which you despatch to your colleagues and then throw away.
Of course this is more cumbersome than sticking with MsWord which is another option. You choose. It comes down to whether or not you have to tightly conform and interact with Word users. Maybe Pages is not for you, or even NeoOfffice which is a clone of MsOffice.
Test it. If it works and you like it stick with whatever solution works for you.

How does business catalyst really work?

So i've tried to reach this and cant seem to find answers in plain english.... How does Business Catalyst really work?.. functionally.
1) I have a hosting service with godaddy and jumpline, I have a lot of space and do all of my client's websites through the space I have with those two plans, do they offer the business catalyst format? Just buy that platform with them or have it added?
2) I have CC, business catalyst "comes with" it.... how does that work? Am I given space on someone elses server somewhere or do I just have the ability to upload the BC software onto a server I have... in which case could it be uploaded to godaddy or jumpline?
3) The new MUSE features can only be done with business catalyst right?

Hi,
Business Catalyst is a web hosting platform that lets web designers host, build, and sell websites to clients. You use Muse to create and update a website. You use Business Catalyst to host it. A Muse subscription includes free hosting on Business Catalyst for one site. A Creative Cloud membership includes free hosting for five sites.
Regarding your Creative Cloud Subscription, with BC. You must install and use Muse/Dreamweaver to publish your free sites. For More details, Please refer to the article below
http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/using/business-catalyst-muse-users.html
The new Muse feature, like in Browser editing is compatible only with Business Catalyst, but the other feature like Parallex Scrolling works on all the other hosting as well, like Godaddy.
If you still have any query, please let us know and we will try to resolve it.
Thanks.

Which version do I work with (Pages or Word)?

Help me out here (please). I am now working with Pages, sharing documents with dozens of behind the times colleagues who are using some old program called "Word." It's my job to work with these people and I'm trying to make it as easy for everyone as possible.
Do I have this right? When I create a document (or open an old Word document into pages), in order to be able to share it with people, I save it, and check the box to save a copy in Word format. Then when I send my documents, I make sure to attach the Word version. Yes?
What happens if I open the Word version and make changes to it? Do I have to do something differently to make sure I have both versions identical? Am I better off always to open the Pages document to work on, then save and send?
More questions:
Do I always then have two versions of the same document (like I would if I did this same thing with pdf)?
How do I make sure that the Word version is always up to date since that is the one I am sending to colleagues? Do I always have to save and check the box, and then select the correct document to send?
I do see that when sending a single document I can easily send it while I am in the document itself. When I do this, selecting to send it as a Word document (or a pdf for that matter), will it send the version I most recently saved, or the version that is on my screen (if I forgot to save changes)?

Perhaps I'm not doing things correctly?

This request has been superceded by a new set of questions in a neighboring post so I'm trying to steer people there and away from this post. Thanks.

Is there a way to get the Mendeley references manager to work with pages?

Is there a way to get the Mendeley references manager to work with pages? If not, what is the best reference manager to use with Pages? I hate "Endnote" and, while I like "Papers", it does not have much support for shared libraries (with collaborators--their Livfe option only permits 50 shared papers and does not work well) or synching a single library across multiple Macs (i.e. home+work). I need a good reference manager that supports 1) synching across multiple Macs, 2)working with collaborators and 3) has no problem importing different reference styles. I don't want to use Word or Endnote unless I absolutely must--Pages is much better for everything else I do. This is for use in preparing scientific manuscripts and grant applications. Thanks.

If you have not done so already, make sure you also ask the people who make it:

Recently upgraded to Mavericks... was working with Pages documents from previous OS ... Pages is now frozen and I don't dare force quit and loose my old documents.

Recently upgraded to Mavericks... was working with Pages documents created with previous OS ... Pages is now frozen and I don't dare force quit and loose my old documents. How can I "thaw".... unfreeze Pages? Have several pages windows open that I was working on.

I also had this problem after I installed Mavericks: Pages files freezing at close, need to force quit.
Workaround: when saving any document created with an earlier version of Pages, be sure to untick the "include preview in document".
For some reason, this resolves the problem.
BTW "loose" is not a verb. You probably mean "lose".

Does Siri work with Pages App?

I'm wonderinf if Siri works along with the Pages word processing App on iphone5? Does anybody out there have an answer for me?

no it doesn't work with pages. but you can use the inbuilt voice input to add words and sentences just by speaking to your iphone/ipad.
to do this you just need to tap the 'microphone' icon next to the space bar and the '123' button on your iphone's/ipad's keyboard then talk away.

How can I remove pages 5.0 to work with Pages 09 again?

How can I remove pages 5.0 to work with Pages 09 again?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
When you upgraded to Pages 5.0, the Mac App Store kept Pages '09 in case you want to use it again.
To access to Pages '09, open a Finder window, choose Applications in the sidebar and open the old Pages version. To access to it quickly, you can drag the icon to the Dock.
I do not recommend you to remove Pages 5.0 or the Mac App Store will be always asking you to upgrade Pages. Also, Apple will add more features to Pages 5.0 in the future. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6049?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

Business Catalyst Help | Getting started with Business Catalyst

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

Hi,
Welcome to Business Catalyst.
From the sounds of your requirement it looks very possible to acheive what you are after with a combination of perhaps APIs and using our import features + custom report generator.
Here's a list of our API calls -> http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/635/bc_635.html
Also the various import options within BC -> http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/kb/importing-data.html
Lastly our custom customer report generator -> http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/kb/build-customer-report.html
I would also if you haven't already go ahead and test out BC. It appears identifiers are what would be "users" having back-end access to the system to either generate a report or email broadcast who may also need to analyze incoming data.
If still needing assistance please reach out to our direct support so we can help guide you further if needed. -> http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html
Kind regards,

Business Catalyst Help | Building Web Apps Part 3: Building a Web App with visitor-submitted content

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/partner/building-web-app-visitor-submitted.html

To save others hours looking for this, if you want to know how to set the Expiry Date from a custom HTML Web App Item submission form, you can do something like this:
input type="radio" style="display: none;" checked="true" value="2" id="daysRB"
input type="text" value="60" maxlength="2" style="display: inline; width: 25px;" id="Days" name="Days"
You can't set the date directly, but you can tell it how many days from today you want it to expire...
