Business Catalyst IDX Integration

I am creating a real estate website for a client that needs IDX integration within their website.
For any that are unfamiliar with IDX, it is basically a way of integrating the MLS database (that is, the database of US homes for sale) into websites.
The basic functionality I need is for registered users to be able to log in to a secure zone, select the homes they like, and log back in at a later date in order to view these homes again.
I'll be speaking with the owners of IDX and MLS within the next few days and would like to know more about Business Catalyst's potential capabilities when integrating this kind of system within our website.
Thanks,
- Tyler

Hi Tyler,
I'm not aware of any current IDX known integration with BC.
However you might want to reach out to some of our custom solution implementors for possible suggestions if no luck here.

Introducing: Adobe Business Catalyst (BC) Site Integration Video Tutorial Series

Hi
I've been developing in BC now for many years now, and I’ve integrated more than 300 websites. I have always felt there was a need for a resource to learn how to do site integration from start to finish for developers – so I created my own lesson series. This video series will give someone a solid foundation and understanding of integrating a website into Adobe Business Catalyst and offers a peek into my workflow.
The total series is 3.5 hours and it is broken into multiple videos by step, so you can complete the tutorial at your own pace, and re-visit a specific step as needed. The series will cover the entire process of creating a cool Responsive Twitter Bootstrap template integration into Adobe Business Catalyst. I start with nothing and end up with a fully integrated website while documenting the entire process. A lot of common snags and issues will be covered during the process and we will work through them together.
You will be able to log in and stream any of the video lessons whenever you want, on any device. You can even download all of the videos and watch offline!
These videos cover many of the steps you will take to integrate a template – here are some examples of the things I cover while integrating the website:
1. Template Creation
2. Dynamic Menus
3. Home page rotator Web App
4. Testimonials Web App
5. Featured Blog Post Web App
6. Custom Web Forms
7. Newsletter Subscription Form
8. Social Navigations with Icon Fonts
9. Custom jQuery functions
10. Our Team Web App
11. FAQ Web App
12. Custom Blog Integration
13. Portfolio Web App
14. Contact Form
15. Responsive Web Design / Media Queries
16. Bugs / Troubleshooting
17. Basic jQuery +and more!
All of this for only $9.95 | Check it out here: http://bit.ly/ZLlHlr

Hi Joe, does your dynamic menus demo cover 2 level hover navigation with the bootstrap menu? Something I am struggling with integrating ... Thanks

Business Catalyst Integration

From reading the responses of the Adobe team here, it appears Edge Code is focusing on client side coding and integration with the other Edge tools and services. And interestingly there appears to be plans to make Edge Code work in the Cloud.
So with that being the case, it appears that with Business Catalyst being one of the Edge services that handles the server side, it seems Edge Code and Business Catalyst would make a great combination.
Are there any plans to add a Business Catalyst extension that accesses the BC modules and tags and maybe even make Edge Code work directly in the Cloud in the Admin backend of a Business Catalyst site/subscription?
I know that we are able to add extensions to Brackets and Edge Code but since BC is owned by you guys, it seems to me like there is a huge opportunity there for something special because of how well Business Catalyst and Edge Code seem to complement each other.

Hey Daryl,
This is Bogdan Ripa - Business Ctaalyst Product Owner.
Thanks for your note. As you can imagine, our teams have talked in the past about a potential integration, and edventually it will happen. I know how valuable this would be for our partners, and I'm a big advocate that we build it.
While Brackets does not have (yet) a browser-based version, we have integrated directly with Code Mirror and have built a code editor in Business Catalyst directly. Our next release (scheduked for next Tuesday) will actually take our in-browser code editor out of alpha, and all partners will be able to use it. Here is how it will look like:
When the Brackets code editor will be ready for in-browser use, we'll take that branch and use it ourselves.
Again - thanks for the note!

Integrating leadpages with Business Catalyst Mailing lists

I am having trouble with integrating my leadpages with my Business Catalyst account.
Has anyone had this problem before? I have cleaned the code and ensured that it is supposed to link to the correct mailing list, however it won't pull together.
This is the code:
<form name="catemaillistform37932" onsubmit="return checkWholeForm37932(this)" method="post" action="http://smallfish.com.au/CampaignProcess.aspx?ListID=46287"><div class="form"><div class="item"><label for="CLFullName">Full Name</label><br /><input class="cat_textbox_small" type="text" name="FullName" id="CLFullName" maxlength="255" /></div><div class="item"><label for="CLEmailAddress">Email Address</label><br /><input class="cat_textbox_small" type="text" name="EmailAddress" id="CLEmailAddress" maxlength="255" /></div><div class="item"><input class="cat_button" type="submit" value="Subscribe" id="catlistbutton" /></div></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://smallfish.com.au/CatalystScripts/ValidationFunctions.js"></script><script type="text/javascript">

Integrating Adobe Muse and Business Catalyst

Hello. Normally I don't take on CMS or E-Commerce sites because I'm kinda simple in the head when it comes to figuring out code and stuff, but with the integration between Adobe Muse and Adobe Business Catalyst I'm thinking about giving it a shot. (And I kinda need the moolah, to be honest...)
I'm trying to bid two sites, one CMS and one a fairly small E-Commerce, both for the same customer. I'm hoping to find a kind and patient person with Business Catalyst and Muse experience who can help me figure out what BC will cost so I can bid the job accurately (BC has so many different packages and whatnot I really don't know which one to buy - I'm truly baffled by the options and don't want to bid the sites based on BC costing me $400 a year, only to find I need to buy the $900/month option), then help answer all the goofy questions I'll have when I try to get Muse and BC to work together. If anyone is willing to help me through this project via phone and/or e-mail, please PM me - I'll gladly pay for your time (I don't expect good advice for free).
Thanks!

Hi Chris,
You can find the pricing here: http://www.businesscatalyst.com/pricing/monthly
CMS is offered with the "Web Marketing" plan while online shop capabilities can be enabled via "E-Commerce" (which also includes CMS)
Here's a good video on Muse & BC integration: www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=K-Od9LDWUcU\
I'll leave this open for further intervention/advice from other members.
Kind Regards,
Alex

Integration with muse created forms and business catalyst mailing lists

I have just spent a long time on a chat session with support after spending most of a day trying to sort out how to have the people who fill in our contact us page to be automatically added to a mailing list to keep in contact with them, but it seems there isnt a strong link with muse to do this easily.
When you create a form in muse, it has an option to send the completed forms to a selected email adress. It would be great if you there was also an option to add that contact to a selected mailing list group already created in Business Catalys
I would have also like the full integration of form central to be inside muse with all its functions. So I could create gift voucher orders forms and receive payments by paypal or other options.
It has been a frustrating day trying to figure it out as the forums didnt seem to help with the info i needed.
It seems to use Business Catalyst webforms requires html coding knowledge which I dont have. you can created a basic form in there easily, but if you want to make it two collumns wide or other changes, it is very difficult to use with coding
A decent wysiwig editor in Business Catalyst would be great
thanks for listening.
Overall I think Muse is excellent so I am surprised, this part of the software doesnt work as I expected.

Muse Business Catalyst Integration

One thing I'd really like to see is a tighter Muse/Business Catalyst integration. I've been able to sell clients on the prospect of using Business Catalyst (and/or price it into my SOW), but it's still quite the chore to manually locate all of your styles using Firebug, then go back in and rewrite them all in the module stylesheet CSS.
I'd be nice to see all of the BC modules either automatically inherit styles from the main Muse stylesheets, or it'd be nicer to see Business Catalyst widgets (a la the Dreamweaver interface) be built into Muse.
Also, I'm a beta tester who would be pleased as punch to test these features.

aldisney_alltrades wrote:
What I'd love to see is another widget panel, designed for Business Catalyst, that would let you pop in the different elements of BC.
I was thinking along the same lines—the Muse team needs to add the BC features in as widgets. Your idea of a seperate panel is even better!
I haven't signed up for BC because I've found the interface clunky and awkward and even if you might not have to know a lot of code, you need to know some which takes it right back out of the comfort zone of the very people Muse is targeting. Make a BC panel where I can do all of the BC stuff without actually having to go to the back end and I'll gladly hand over my cash.
Just yesterday I went to play around with a form I made in Muse but wanted to add drop downs and radio buttons to. Went to BC, never understood how to get the new elements integrated with the existing form and back onto the page with the original formatting applied, made a hash of it and logged out.
At a minimum please put those other form elements into Muse (there in InDesign now, why not Muse?) but I'd really like to be able to take full advantage of a premium BC account right through Muse. Maybe it can be a panel set that you get when you sign up for a paid BC account?

Muse-Business Catalyst Integration: Is it ever going to happen?

Back a couple years ago when Muse was announced, it was also announced that it would eventually feature integration with the content management features of Business Catalyst. That hasn't happened yet, to any meaningful degree. Is Muse-BC integration no longer on the development roadmap? Or if it is, could Adobe please provide Muse users with some concrete, specific, non-ambiguous details of what those plans are? Such as, what features, when? What features never?
I realize Adobe doesn't like to discuss this, but after all this time I think it is only fair to share this information with both the Muse and Business Catalyst communities so that we can make our plans moving forward accordingly.

That is why i decided to pay 2000$ US to become a BC premium partner...
After loads of tickets with the support team and filing in 2 bugs (That are not fixed yet after 5 months).
Should we start thinking about some sort of class action?, just saying.

Integrating newsletter submission form into adobe muse (with business catalyst hosting)

Hi,
I have seen some posts on this question but i don't quite understand how i should go about this. I have created a form, for my newsletter, in muse which fits the style of my website, i would like to use this form to automate a response when someone signs up to it. Will the visitors details be stored on the business catalyst CRM database? Any help would be appreciated.
Lewis

Hello Lewis,
Visitors details will be stored on Business catalyst. I found a video, that shows how you can add the BC modeules in Muse, and customize it, it is using News section for example, this will give you an idea, how you can do this for Newsletter
Please let me know if you have any other query.

Theme Integration in Business Catalyst

Hi All,
I'm a beginner in Business Catalyst but I've 3yrs of experience in development and I've a running site in Business Catalyst.
I just want to change the complete theme of that running site. Could anyone please guide me that How can I do that without touching the running site. As I saw the testing server functionality in the DW-CS6 but don't know how to use that.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Rony

Hi Rony,
We don't have a theme creator however I think what you are after is who to go about changing the template that the site is currently wrapped in.
If so you'll need to work with the site-wide template of the site. If you plan on creating a custom template you can do so within DW CS6 or within the admin by creating a new template from scratch or uploading an existing custom template.
Here are some resources to help you get going with this...

PhoneGap & Business Catalyst Integration

Hi there,
Im new to PhoneGap and just wanted to ask a few questions before I start designing using Business Catalyst. I would like to make a phone app for Apple store with PhoneGap, will this work if I have Web apps/Blog modules in my website using Business Catalyst?
If so, then everytime I post a new blog article will I have to re-upload new files or will it pull fresh content into the phone app?
Many Thanks for any help
Kris

They have to render at the server before the HTML is sent to the browser.
I'm not sure how you're expecting this to work. If you can provide more

Dreamweaver Help | Dreamweaver-Business Catalyst integration

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

The sequence above for importing a business catalyst site won't work for me. I've opened a support case back on the 4th. It was escalated. Still, today on the 12th I've gotten no response. I just get a little flash wheel spinning as it attempts to retrieve the site definition. Is this related to my adobe id? Or to my master rebranded partner sites default url? I've deactivated, reactivated, I've deleted the prefs from the library in osx for Dreamweaver. I've uninstalled, reinstalled. Still not working and no replies from Adobe. What gives?
Import a Business Catalyst site
For information on migrating sites that you previously created using the Business Catalyst extension, see Migrating Business Catalyst sites to Dreamweaver CS6.
    Select Site > Manage Sites.
    Click Import Business Catalyst Site. The list of Business Catalyst sites you created with the Adobe ID is displayed.
    Select the site, and click Import Site.
    For the site that you are trying to import, specify a location on your computer.
    Enter the password related to your Adobe ID.
    When the file activity is complete, click Done.
above is what doesn't work for me... It hangs after I click import...

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,
-Sidney
