Business Catalyst Templates from Muse

Hey there,
I'm hoping someone can help me out!
Maybe i'm misunderstanding how BC and Muse are tied together, a website just fell in my lap recently. I'm trying to figure out what in Muse is telling Business Catalyst to generate a template for it.
I have many templates inside Muse but only a couple of them are being generated inside of Business Catalyst.
Basically, if I was to make a new template in Muse, how would I tell BC that I want it to be a template I can use there as well?
Thanks for the help!

Hi Dawn,
Make sure that you insert the {tag_pagecontent} using the 'object -> insert html' option and not insert this tag on a master page, instead insert it on a web page.

Hide HTML extension on Business catalyst site from Muse

Good morning,
After done a layout design on adobe muse, Normally I publish the site to my third party hosting. It's amazing! that people will not know that i am using which platform to design this website unleash i put the design by muse badge. I done that by add some code to .htaccess on my hosting.
But my hosting speed might not good, so I try to upload to adobe business catalyst, I would like to ask is there anyway to hide the HTML extension like i used to be done on my previous hosting? I tried to upload the .htaccess too, but it not work.
I think this feature is should be include in business catalyst.@@

Hey David,
People in industry though can spot a Muse site from a mile away The markup (code) it produces is not that great and it does not form things that great and you are limited to what you can do such as this.
BUT
BC itself is totally supports none file extension URL's. Login to the BC site, go to the page in the site manager and edit the URL. I think you need to enable editing in the site settings and the cross syncing thing Muse apparently supports now but just know it will be a bit of a clunky process.

Modifying Business Catalyst Templates for the first time...

... how would I go about getting the business catalyst templates for modifying in Muse?

Hi Craftalien,
Thank you for contacting us.
Muse works on the ".muse" file. Even If you download an Adobe Business Catalyst template you will not get the MUSE file for it and MUSE will not be able to open it.

Business Catalyst Blog into Muse

Hi there,
I'm attempting to move my entire business catalyst blog into muse so that I can rename the url instead of it being /_blog/blogname
My problem is that I cannot find an easy way to transfer the entire blog to a page. Business Cataylst has options for adding the blog to a webpage however it only transfers parts of it, such as the most recent post.
I'm a newbie and I'm trying to get my www.steannes.com/_blog/steannes to appear exactly the same on page within Muse.
Thank you!

I reviewed the steps to add the Blog; however, only one blog shows up on the site. I am using the {module_blogsite,5) as the reference on my Muse page. Also, in the preview in BC under Modules>blog the two post I have loaded are overlapping one another.
My steps to add teh blog to muse is
I created the blog, added the post then under More Actions I add the blog to my Muse page blog.I use insert all. Also, when I preview the blogthere is a bar that overlaps my title. Any help.

Business Catalyst templates not containing content in Muse built site

I am currently upgrading a clients website and have recently got into designing using Muse and thought I would try out the BUsiness Catalyst system to host it all etc. I wanted to use muse for the more static opages and the the blog for case studies and the ecommerce section for the product catalogue (even though we will not be selling online).
All was going swimmingly until I found the pages I had created for the main template pages {tag_pagecontent} or any other module on that note. The site search results was doing it too if the results can over a certain length. Its seemed that the page would be stuck at a standard height. I have dragged the content box down to meet the footer guide so in theory it expands the page when it has to but for some reason this isnt working for me. I am not sure if it is how I have sut up the footer or the page or the way I have the master pages working or something. I have tried various options but am about to give up. I either have to bin business catalyst or just use muse to create the whole catalogue but with over 200 products this could take some time.
I woudld appreciated some help from some more experienced users or techincal heads. I hope it is an easy fix or there is some way around it.
Take a look at my draft site: http://langleydesign.businesscatalyst.com/index.html
and the pages that arent working correctly: http://langleydesign.businesscatalyst.com/case-studies
Also the sticky footer on these template pages and pages with module content (i.e the search results page) isnt sticking to the bottom as you can scroll past it. Which leads me to believe its something to do with the footer I have set up.
I can try and explain anything if needed. Thanks for your help in advance.
Some images attached for reference.

I did try unpinning but that didnt work for me either.
It took too long to get an answer so I am now using another system that doesnt have this problem. Hopefully when I use Muse again I wont have this problem. Sorry.
Thanks anyway. Maybe Ozaroth can send links to their site for instructions to get this solved.

So how can I put in the Domain name so I can luanch my website?

Hey Mike.Avocado26,
As per your other forum post mentiond below, I believe I have cleared the domain wildwasatchmedia.com from our database. Can you please try re-adding it now?

Trouble with Business Catalyst FORM in Muse

I created a contact form at Business Catalyst, added it there to a published web page, copied the HTML, and inserted the HTML in Muse.
I placed the HTML on its own layer, and positioned it on the contact page, then edited it for style. This is what it looks like in Muse (image is cropped):
It looks identical when you Preview the page in Muse.
However, when I publish the site, the form is no longer on the top layer (but underneath the menu -a master page item- which in Muse is on a lower layer than the form); the form itself is positioned at 0,0 on the page, OUTSIDE the page boundary as specified in Muse, and all other page elements (except the master page items) are moved below the form vertically, but not together as designed in Muse: most (but not all) of them are stacked vertically at the bottom of the page.
In other words, the entire page layout is destroyed.
Here is what the published page looks like (image is cropped - upper-left corner is shown):
I cannot share the URL due to NDA, but I am allowed to share it privately with support staff.
Thanks for any help.

Hi Tom!
BC Gurus has free tutorials about Secure Zone, below are the links.
But these tutorials don´t show how to integrate these features into Muse.
I am sure that Chris Kellett (MuseGrid) or Steve Harris (Muse Themes) know how to do that but I don´t know how much they are charging for instructions.

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.

Can you embed business catalyst ecommerce in muse?

I'm setting up a new Muse retail site and need a compatible and easy to install e-commerce package. Does Adobe Business Catalyst offer an e-commerce package that embeds into Muse?

Protecting/hiding Business Catalyst website from the public and search engines while in development.

How can we protect/hide our Business Catalyst-based website from the public and search engines while we are developing it? It seems like anyone can access it, even though it is not complete.
We are using Dreamweaver to build our website, if that helps. Is there any way to have a test instance of BC that is password protected for development and testing? Thank you for your ideas.

I have something in my room but I do not tell you it is there or where it is or what it does.
How do you know unless I show you?
Do not share your links out, the sitemap is not on till you activate the system.
I have built BC sites for over 5 years and only one case for me of a client posting out an unfinished site got it indexed by google.

How do you make a template from muse to the bc?

I was told to just add a tag_content (in brackets) to a page rather than the A-master page and upload it to bc. Support said that bc would recognize it and put the page into the template folder.. that didnt happen for me.. All i had was a new page with the text tag_content in brackets displayed.. pls help.

The tag is {tag_pagecontent} and the above link will step you through forming the template.

Adding a Business Catalyst modules to Muse

Hi,
I have been searching without success for a definitive guide to adding modules to my Muse sites, specifically a Blog and News feed. All tutorials I have found thus far require the developer tab which I believe only to be available if you pay for the full webCommerce package. However, webMarketing does include the Blog and News modules. And I am reading that I can achieve this with the webMarketing package.
Can anyone direct me to a comprehensive tutorial on setting these modules up with a webMarketing BC package.
Thanks in advance

So how do I define myself as a partner?
Maybe explaining a brief history of how I got to this point will help?
I'm a graphic designer and have been designing static sites for clients using Muse. One client then enquired whether they could have a blog and news feed. After researching I settled on using BC as the documentation suggested I could do everything requested. I brought a webMarketing BC package and then uploaded the site to BC. I also brought a second webMarketing BC package for my business website. When I look at the BC Partner portal both sites that I brought with webMarketing packages are listed. I am then presented with two links for each site, one to look at site details and a manage link. The manage link takes me to the admin portal of the site, but there is no developer tab?
So the link you shared are ones I found previously and look perfect, but I can not achieve what I am after without the developer tab?

How do I change images in a Business Catalyst template? I have uploaded these images and can't seem to find where the stock images are located and how to change them out.

I want to customize this template by swapping the stock images that are already in place. I have been able to upload my new images to the file that the others are stored, but I cannot find a way to implement the changes. HELP

Er, not according to the header at the top of this thread:
No mention of Windows there. And I saw no connection link for iCloud on my Mac. If there is such a thing, I missed it. In which case please accept my apologies.
