Creating database for MUSE website using Business Catalyst.

We are building a membership site using Adobe MUSE. We are also using Business Catalyst to build the CRM customer database. We are using this as an alternative to MySQL since there is no direct connection between MySQL and MUSE. The only work around we know is to export the MUSE website to HTML. Import that HTML into Adobe DREAMWEAVER and the build the connections that way. This is time consuming and prone to errors as this does not create  a  flow in both system and data manipulation design.
We would like so home in creating, maintaining and performing searching on the database we create in Business Catalyst.

Hi there,
As I mentioned, when a form is filled (Email is always required) then this the contact is added to the CRM.
You can not render the CRM on the front end as I think you will want. You would have to look to form web apps and display things that way.
Please note that Muse is a designer tool and has limited scope in terms of its functionality compared to building a full rich website, So you will reach certain walls with what your doing.

  • Why can't I set up POP/IMAP emails for my Muse website in Business Catalyst? I don't have the option 'use this service for email as well as hosting the website' under Advanced options

    Why can't I set up POP/IMAP emails for my Muse website in Business Catalyst? I don't have the option 'use this service for email as well as hosting the website' under Advanced options.
    Is this due to my Hosting Plan? Appreciate any answers.

    Your site is a CCM site which is on a WebBasics plan (This plan does not provide hosted emails on Business Catalyst).
    If you want to create email addresses on this site, you would need to setup your email server elsewhere and configure the MX records on your site to point to that external mail server.
    If you want to use Business Catalyst's hosted email services you would need to use a WebBasics+ or higher siteplan. To upgrade your CCM free site, Access your site's admin area  -> Site Management -> Upgrade Now -> choose the desired site plan and billing frequency -> Add personal and credit card details -> Submit.
    Please refer this article about setting up email accounts on your BC site: http://docs.businesscatalyst.com/user-manual#!/site-settings/email-users

  • Adding a blog to our Muse website via Business Catalyst?

    We want to add a blog to our company's website. Ideally, we'd add it at the subfolder level. Will we be able to do this on our Muse site that is hosted in Business Catalyst?

    Hi
    Are you referring to integrating a third party Blog in Muse site and then publish to BC where the blogs should be stored in sub folder level ?
    From BC end, you can create Blogs and use module in Muse page, on publishing to BC you can define Host Directory which would create the sub folder under root.
    This video will give an idea as how sub folders are managed on BC end:

  • Unable to test my muse website with business catalyst .

    Hello,
    I am currently in trial of creatives-corner. I have developed an website with muse and trying to test it with business catalyst. But whenever i try to publish it is shows the following error.
    Error:
    Error uploading file slideshow1.png. There was no response from the server. Check your network connection, and try again. If this problem persists, try again later.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    Hi
    This can be due few reasons :
    - If you have placed the asset in remote/network/external source then this can be the cause, try to save the asset on local drive and then try.
    - It can be a connection issue from your end, check the settings and re-publish.
    - I see BC is going on with some updates/maintenance on their servers , so this may be related to that.

    Please try again to publish.
    Thanks,

  • 301 Redirects From a WIX website using Business Catalyst

    I am having trouble redirecting pages from my old Wix.com website because it used AJAX and the webpages had urls with characters that businesscatalyst won't allow.
    Example:  augplastic.com/#!breast-augmentation/cmot
    I have tried changing this to augplastic.com/?_escaped_fragment_=breast-augmentation/cmot   but it will not accept this page name.
    I need to do this with some other redirect code/ program....like Apache or web config folder.   Can I do this or any other suggestions?
    Thx

    Thanks for all the input so far.  I think it would be along the lines of Craiglist, however styled much nicer. No money is transfered between buyer and seller, a fee is simply paid to issue the advert.  So the only monetary transactions would be between the seller and the site owner.
    The basic features would be:
    Members have an account from which they can supply and update their contact details and listing details
    Search function for categories.  Postcode search.  Price search etc
    Members can create new listings with images, description, price, location.  (needs approval from site owner before it's Live).
    Members can have a watchlist
    Users can email seller through their listing
    Users can write review.
    Based on search key words, a 'Related Items' results bar down the bottom of the listing would display related items.
    This is the core basic stuff.  From this it can be built upon.

  • Using Business Catalyst for Newsletters - Several Questions

    Hello everyone - I hope the format of this forum question is okay.  I have designed our company website with Muse and we host it with Business Catalyst (webBasics+).  We like it a lot and are looking to possibly upgrade it to the next package (webMarketing) simply because of the potential for newsletters (as well as all of the other benefits like blogging and the helpful modules).
    My company currently uses Constant Contact for our quarterly newsletters and holiday emails and we send to about 2800 people.  It seems obvious to me that we should ditch Constant Contact as we pay more than $50.00/month and I think it is very limiting as far as being creative goes.  It just makes sense that I should use Bc because I already use it...and the 5,000 newsletters is only $6.00 more.
    My questions are:
    Are there a lot of templates to choose from?  100's? 1,000's?
    Is it easy to create my own template?  Do I need Dreamweaver (Only have Creative Suite and Muse)?
    Is it easy to transfer an email list I have? We have software called ACT and I am a little unsure how this works but I assume there is a certain file type we can export and just upload into Bc.
    Are there options to have links to social media (facebook, twitter, etc.) in the newsletters?
    Are the newsletters limited in size?  I think Constant Contact limited the width of an email to 600 pixels - occasionally we had text in a graphic we made in Photoshop - so things go a little fuzzy.
    Add-on question from #5 Are there ways to layer graphics on top of one another in the newsletters aside from flattening it in Photoshop?  This was the most limiting factor in Constant Contact.
    I appreciate any help with answering these questions. Again, I think it is pretty obvious and maybe you have some things to tell me that I am completely clueless about.  I basically have to make the pitch to the powers that be and I want to make sure I have a lot of the ends covered.
    Thanks!

    Hope this helps.
    1) When using Adobe BC I can use dreamweaver cs6 as well, correct? Yes. BC works in DW CS6
    2) If i download Adobe BC on my computer to build the website can I also use it on another computer to keep the products updated? I read that it's online so i'm assuming this can be done for no extra cost but i want to make sure. Yes you can have SFTP access from any computer.
    3) Can you host your website using godaddy or other hosts while using business catalyst? NO, BC is a hosted solution. You can although host email services third-party (i.e. Gmail).
    4) Lastly, if you were to make an ecommerce website for a CLIENT how would you do it? WOuld you use business catalyst or other software such as, authorize.net and a shopping cart? BC includes a full-featured shopping cart (http://www.businesscatalyst.com/features/online-store), so you would manage products in the backend. A payment gateway like Authorize.net or Paypal will be needed (http://www.businesscatalyst.com/features/payment-gateways).

  • Using Business Catalyst to publish my Muse Web design

    I have a creative cloud membership to create a website in Muse.  Is there an additional charge for BC to publish my site?

    Hi
    With creative cloud subscription , you get 5 free sites to publish in BC. The free sites would be web hosting sites.
    For using those free counts you don't have to pay anything extra. Create the site in Muse and publish to BC.

  • Is there a known issue for using IE11 when using business catalyst cms

    Is there a known issue for using IE11 when using business catalyst cms?  I have a client trying to update pages on her site using IE11 and the it says it updates successfully, but the new content is not saved.

    I concur with Barry; I see no significant difference in using the Home button vs. the gestures. But the "fade" effect is part of iOS 7.1 and there's no way to disable it that I know of.

  • Do I need to use Business Catalyst to use the built-in forms?

    I use FTP voyager to host my website. I have a contact form on my website, when I fill out the form this dialog box appears: "This standard HTML form is configured to work with Adobe Business Catalyst". Once I click OK I then get the message the from has been sent and recieved, I check my email and I have not recieved an email.
    Can somebody please tell me if there is something I need to do to overcome this issue, or do forms not work unless you are using Buinsess Catalyst?

    I'm sorry. At this time, contact forms only work using Business Catalyst. Please see this forum thread for more info:

  • Muse, Dreamweaver or Business Catalyst?

    I have inherited an old Business Catalyst website that needs a lot of updating. Should I use Muse or Dreamweaver to tackle it, or stick with the BC interface?
    I'm primarily a graphic designer, rather than a web developer, so would prefer a wysiwyg approach but can delve into code if necessary.
    The site has lots of old material which as far as I can tell is not being displayed currently. How can I most easily discover the interdependencies between the different components, in order to clean it up?

    Hi
    Both the software have there own advantages. You might want to check these links

  • Web hosting using business catalyst

    its prob a stupid  question ..but if make a website with business catalyst and for some reason I don't renew my cc subsciption where does that leave me with editing and updating the site..
    thanks

    BC site subscription depends on your CC subscription, If CC subscription is not renewed then web hosting site will not be renewed thus will convert to a trial site.
    Same with Muse subscription , you can still edit and update your site with trial version, but please note that trial version has a limited time of 30 days.
    Thanks,
