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?

Muse; Business Catalyst; Ecommerce. Need input!

HEY EVERYBODY!
Alrighty then. Here's the situation.
Working in Muse, doing quite a few sites with it. Great stuff. Also a Business Catalyst Partner (Branding level soon! Woot!)
Let me get this out of the way first: I'm not a code expert. Hence the reason we were attracted to the Muse / BC solution in the first place. However, while I don't "do code" on a regular basis, I can make my way around with reasonable success using Firefox and Firebug to inspect elements and do "reverse engineering" where necessary. That said, again, Muse and BC as a business / marketing and ecommerce solution is very appealing with the concept of building the site and navigation in Muse and then inserting the modules via the "HTML" object is very sweet and a big timesaver and headache reducer.
Now that you have the basic "backstory", here is the issue at hand:
A couple of upcoming clients are going to be requesting ecommerce implemented on their sites. We are planning to design the site with Muse and then use the ecommerce function in the BC system in the Muse websites.
While I get the whole process of setting up a Muse page as a "template" for the BC system by inserting the "{tag_pagecontent}" HTML object and then letting BC populate the template or "skin" with it's pre-defined layouts for ecommerce and a number of other functions, we'd really like to know how to exercise a greater level of control in the layout of the page presenting such things as the landing page of the catalogs, the product pages, shopping cart, checkout, where the bread crumb navigation is placed, the shopping cart status location, etc.
We tried this by taking the tag elements on the module template pages within BC and inserting them into Muse, but are getting no connection between the pages and the catalogs we're trying to put into the pages. For example, we'd like to have the "4 across" products in the catalog on the right 2/3 of the page with another menu down the left side or space for promotional links within the site. At the same time, we'd like to be able to put the breadcrumbs above the menu on the left and the shopping cart summary at the top right of the page above all the art created in Muse.
Is any of this making sense to anyone else out there?
Ok, so now this is started, please, positive input only. I'm not looking for someone to come in here and tell me I need to start from Ground Zero and learn code so I can create everything in DW, etc. I mean, isn't that why Muse and BC exist in the first place?
Looking forward to connecting with some minds greater than mine!
James

The only relatively insightful guides I have found to date on this matter are in no particular order:-

Seems that there is more info about integrating BC with dreamweaver than muse at present but I will charge on nontheless.
Thanks for the link above topelovely

Is it still the case that the Muse CC Forms widget will not work properly unless you have Business Catalyst?

I am looking into options for our next office website redesign. We will definitely need a forms function. I downloaded the Muse CC free trial and went through all of the tutorials. The video on the forms (Contact Form) stated that the forms widget would not work or would not work properly if you do not have Business Catalyst. I'm hoping that has changed since the video was created.
Is this still true that you need to purchase the Business Catalyst product for Muse CC form widgets to work correcty???

Piruki have you tried utilizing the Previous version option within the Creative Cloud Desktop application? You can find additional details under the install Previous version section of CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html.

Can you build a mobile website in Muse and redirect to a desktop website which is not built in Muse?

Hi
I am looking at the idea of extending my photoshop monthly subscription to one that will give me access to Muse and Illustrator etc.
I have been building mobile websites on a mobile platform and then redirecting these to clients desktop sites - this is an option for clients who don't want to go the whole hog with new web design.
Is it possible to build a mobile website using muse and then redirect this mobile website to an existing desktop site that has not been built on Muse?
Thanks in advance
Michele

You can certainly use Muse for hosting on other hosts as well. You do lose some of the functionality of Business Catalyst such as In Browser Editing. I just saw that you did your current one in Wordpress ... so I assume there is a blog?
If so, keep in mind that Muse alone does not have a blog feature. You can integrate a Business Catalyst Blog into it with a bit of knowledge on how BC works.
A couple videos you will want to check out are:

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.

Can you change the extensions in Adobe Muse from .html to .htm?

Can you change the extensions in Adobe Muse from .html to .htm?
I'm updating an old site where the extensions for the pages were all.htm. This means that when I upload the site index.htm is not being over written by index.html.

Hi,
It is not possible to change the extension in Muse at the moment. You can export the site as HTML and change the extensions outside the Muse.

Can you change the tab order in Muse forms?

Can you change the tab order in Muse forms?

Hi Rebecca,
By tabs do you mean the form fields? If yes, then you can simply rearrange them by repositioning the other fields using mouse.
However, the e-mails that are received on submission of the forms show the original sequence of the fields.

Can you embed a PDF into a Captivate 8 project?

Hi,
Can you embed a PDF document into a captivate project?
I know i shouldnt compare, but in Articulate Story Line, you are able to add 'resourses' into the project which sit alongside the eLearning to provide further reading.
Can you do this in Captivate? but without it linking to an external sourse such as local or shared drive?
Thanks
Chris

To tmpe222,
I'm not a Cp expert, but it seems to me that there's no sense in simply trying to stick a pdf document in the Scorm package. What good would that do? The file would be in the package, but that doesn't mean it would be 'embedded in the project' in any meaningful sense of the term.
I don't know of any way to embed a pdf document directly into a Cp project. But couldn't you simply convert the pdf file into an image (jpeg or gif)? This you could easily insert in your project. It would be inserted as a standard object. And then you could do all the nice things that you can do with any object: put it on slide to be accessed only if the participant wants to view it; use effects so that it enters nicely; add annotation . . . the sky's the limit.
Does this help at all, or am I on the wrong track?
Best regards,
Marvin DuBois

Can you embed survey questions in discontinuous places on a Web site?

Can you embed survey questions in discontinuous places on a Web site? By analogy, think of an online magazine that would have survey questions at the end of each article. The reader would never go through the survey from start to finish, but rather read an article, then answer questions about subjects covered in the article, then read the next article, answer or skip questions, and so on. In this scenario, if there are 30 survey questions, I would not want 30 separate surveys, but rather an means of rolling up all the answers from a single respondent who logs into the Web site. Can Acrobat forms help in this context, or do you know of other software/services that I should consider?

You could look into a service such as http://www.formsite.com/. I believe it can do what you want. The support there is excellent so if you can't find the answer looking around, just contact them.

Is there a way to embed a business catalyst ecommerce site into another site?

If I build an ecommerce site in business catalyst, can I embed it into another site? For example if I already have a public site (using Adobe CQ), can I embed a Business Catalyst site into my Adobe CQ webpage to function as the ecommerce portion of my Adobe CQ site? Would the API allow for this? Thanks in advance.

Yes you could do it with the API, but it would an epic programming adventure to get it going, as far I know no one else is doing it. It would be extremely slow to use the API in realtime (ie get the contents from the API every page request as the API is slow and times out certain parts of the day sometimes) so you would have to sync your data between the sites. You would also have to work out shipping externally because you can't get any sort of shipping information from the API (as far as I know)
An easier way would be to setup a reverse proxy to your BC site, the only issue with that is that when you start to hit HTTPs pages on checkout you wont be able to proxy them (securely) unless you get your own certificate for the site you are proxying from. I have done this for other sites before but not BC, in theory it should work because BC allows any domain and they shouldn't be any sort of domain / RDNS security checks.

How can I create Business Catalyst editable slideshows in Muse?

I've created a series of slideshows in Adobe Muse but my client cannot edit them in Business Catalyst.
Please help!
http://www.timelinemissions.com/work.html

If you like to have a constant amout of imgs, lets say 3, you can define the images as a InContext Editable image and the caption as a InContext Editable line. I usally prerer this solution in front of WebApps as the customer can edit almost everything using ICE-mode.
Please refer to the ICE documentation for more details of implementation.
If you need a more flexible solution I would recommend a WebApp with a field that you define as a image. Then add new WebApp items for every image. If you like to limit the size of a image you can use BC Thumbnail tool. I think Joe Watkins has talked about how to use this tool before.

Adobe Muse, Business Catalyst Ecommerce help

I was having trouble figuring out how to set one of my muse pages as a template that way I could use it for my catalogue pages. I figured it out, but all of my muse pages now have a white page in the middle (the white pages in muse are set to transparent) so I am sure this is on the business catalyst end. Some how I ended up distorting one of my pages, so I deleted it and republished the site in muse thinking it would restore it, but it didn't.
1. How can I restore the muse page.
2. How can I get rid of the white pages on every page of my site.
I have been using muse for awhile, but this is my first time using business catalyst, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi!
Please provide a url so we can take a look at the site.

Form central + business catalyst + ecommerce issue.

Hi all
We have a few websites and have been using form cental to create contact us forms, gift voucher ordering, and event booking/payment through paypal for these sites.
I thought that any results we got (ie names and email addresses) would be going directly into the business catalyst mailing lists so that when we send out a newsletter, those new enquiries and customers get it.
But Ive now realised there is no link between the too (frustrating)
So Im now wondering why i even need to be paying for form central.
Can I do all of that in business catalyst?
Also I tried to find out how to upgrade my BC to include ecommerce (since Im assuming I cant may gift voucher order forms and link to paypal with BC webmarketing plan)
I eventually found you have to go to BC: Site settings >Site management> and then there is supposed to be an option that says upgrade... but the only option it has is 'delete'!
Getting a bit frustrated, so Im hoping someone can give me a hand on this one. :-)
Brian

Hi Brian,
That is a different Adobe product for global use, and as you noted does not tie into Business Catalyst.
If you have Business Catalyast you do not need to be paying for Form Central, there is no where in the documentation that it states you need to use it. If you found somewhere that said you did, please let the BC support team know so they can update that information.
Upgrade should appear in the top left, if not and/or If you been using Muse:
http://www.lawryk.com/my-adobe-blog/video-tutorial-upgrading-your-muse-hostin-with-busines s-catalyst
You will need to build web forms and mailing lists to have those work with BC and you will need to set up products, catalogs and use the payment from in BC for eCommerce.

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.

All-in-one inventory management linked to business catalyst eCommerce site , amazon, ebay, etsy, etc.

I have an eCommerce website to create for one of my clients.
My client will sell products on his website, ebay, amazon, and maybe event etsy.
What would be the best solution for a all-in-one multi-channel inventory control system?
Is there a way to link the Business Catalyst inventory mgmt system with other sales channels?
Do you suggest a different solution, in order to have an all-in-one control of inventory linked to the website, eBay, Amazon, Etsy and maybe others, so that my client will be able to see which models are selling the most, as well as what is left and what is in need of reordering?
Thank you for the support,
blankiris

I've built systems like this in the past, with any custom solution the devil is in the details, it depends on what you want to do and what you expect. As Liam has pointed out the API is your best friend here, you can develop something that pulls data from BC and puts it where you need.
If you try to do everything at once (all those sites listed) you might find you have problems, I would start with one site first, make any changes you need there and roll out to the other platforms.
Please drop me a PM I would be happy to assist in building.
