Designing in Muse & Editing within Business Catalyst

Hi everyone,
Apologies upfront for the newbie question however I've struggled to find a topic which fully describes the relationship between BC and Adobe Muse. I've created site in Muse and happy with the look of the website, I've just realised that when published into BC I'm given some tight limitations, i.e. I can't create pages or modules in the BC admin...the options just aren't there, I can see the web forms I've created however. Am I right in thinking you are not allowed to fully edit the content? Adobe want you to make updates within Muse and then upload the site each time. However, when you want to get Forms, Customer Logins and more advanced functionality working I'm going to need to make specific changes inside BC and within the markup, i.e. which means 'enabling editing options'.
Therefore, does this mean you should design sites in Muse, pull them into BC and work on them purely from BC? I cannot see how you can maintain a link between Muse and BC because Muse is a piece of design software and BC is a CMS.... they do different things.
The issue is, I setup a range of forms, a secure login area, develop more content in BC and then I want to make a significant design change which means going back into Muse and it overwriting everything which has just been setup... is there something I'm missing or is this how it works?
I'd appreciate any help on this topic,
Many thanks,
Sam

Thank you!
You Rock!!
in one answer.... you...... solved it all...!!
BC is like life....

that just turn out to be more questions...... [k]

Can you let me know if its possible to import a muse site from Business catalyst in to Dreamweaver?

Can you let me know if its possible to import a muse site from Business catalyst in to Dreamweaver? I have published a site using Muse to Business catalyst but would like to use FTP in dreamweaver to administer and edit.

I think you could but you wouldn't like what you see in Design View. Why do you want to do this?

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

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
For setting up records to point to external mail server, check out http://docs.businesscatalyst.com/user-manual#!/site-settings/email-users/creating-inboxes- for-your-users

Launching a Muse site on Business Catalyst,

I am very new to this and my organization is trying to launch a new site. We have it all built with Muse and on Business Catalyst now, but what do I need to do with our old site on another server first before adding the Domain name we have to Business Catalyst?

Once you add the domain to Business Catalyst and finish all the DNS delegation steps listed in the article for launching a site on BC, your old site will no longer load and users will go to the new BC site. Your old hosting then could be discontinued with whichever vender you used. Be aware that DNS can sometimes take 24 hours to fully propogate so you should wait to make sure that things are all loading properly. -j

Muse and "In Context Editing" in Business Catalyst

Since they updated the ICE feature in Business Catalyst, the sites I create in Muse do not seem to have the same ICE editability that they used to. I can edit the text, delete and add text in the edit popup. But the small tool bar that used to (below the "Edit Content" title) allow you to edit links, fonts/weights, indents etc. has disappeared. Am I missing something? Have I missed a step? Please advise any help would be appreciated.

Hi Abhishek,
I believe Lawrence is looking for editing features in ICE that are only available in the BC sites. If sites are created in BC even with the new Ice editor you still have access to basic formating of text etc.
Here is a screen shot from a site I just recently went live with. These features are available in a site started in BC but not ones started within Muse.

Can i enable in-browser editing without business catalyst

I've just downloaded the trial version but haven't used it yet. I have been watching adobe tutorials all day on Adobe Muse and so far it has everything I am looking for.
I have one question, however, I am currently designing a website for a customer who would like to have in-browser editing made available in order to update text and photo. I work for a company who has their own IT gurus who will be hosting the website. Is it possible to enable in-browser editing without using Business catalyst or having the site hosted by adobe? If not is this a feature that will possibly be added to Muse in the very near future?

Hello
At this stage, in-browser editing is available only for the sites that are hosted on Business catalyst.
This feature to work for other hosting providers may be added to Muse in upcoming releases.
You can join our pre-release program to know more about the upcoming releases - Adobe Muse Private Beta Program

Integrate my Muse site in Business Catalyst

Hello,
I am considering hosting my website to BC.
I created my website with Muse and I would like to use the BC's CMS features on it. Do I have to recreate the whole website with BC or I can "import" my Muse's website into BC's template ?
Thanks
Esther

Hello,
Business catalyst itself is a CMS, and you can most certainly create a site on Muse and bring it to Business catalyst, by publishing it to Business catalyst, so there is no need to recreate it all in Business catalyst. However, all the editing that needs to be done, should be done in Muse. This is because any edits done to the site in Business catalyst will not reflect to the site file in Muse and there is no way to take the changes made to the site in Business catalyst back to Muse to edit or work on them.
If you don't wish to make any changes to the site from Business catalyst, you can make changes to the site in Muse and re-publish to Business catalyst, and the changes would take effect. So basically, the changes made to the site can be taken to Business catalyst, but the opposite is not true.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Parikshit.

Credentials for In-Browser Editing in Business-Catalyst

Hi!
IN-BROWSER-EDITING is a really cool service, but it seems there’s one quite critical point to this.
Sharing the test-site means for me, communicating the url to someone, so he can have a look at the actual site via, e. g.: myproject.businesscatalyst.com/ or even on my own server, e. g. www.myproject.com/ with no further interaction possibility.
But I’d like to open the gate for the client to edit texts by himself, as shown in Dani Beaumont’s video “Katie’s Café” / www.katiesbakerycafe.com. Here’s the clip :
https://helpx.adobe.com/muse/how-to/site-owners-edit-live-sites.html
And here another clip relative to the same topic:
https://helpx.adobe.com/muse/how-to/muse-in-browser-site-editing.html
Now, if I host the site on my own server, things are quite clear: I’ll set up a separated ftp access for my client.
But if I host the site on Business Catalyst, things don’t look so clear anymore.
Katie would like to edit Details like her daily specials and things like photos of her bakery items. Therefor, so she needs to log-into the site administration. I was chatting with the MUSE-Support this morning and they suggested I should share my credentials to the client (Katie) so she can log-into the project and edit things online. Hmm…
But I don’t think Dani Beaumont, like me, would like to share her Adobe-Product-Manager’s credentials with Katie. Would she?
Support: Yes, you can share the url but for editing you have to share the credentials
Me: And Tom’s Sandwich over the road wouldn’t like Katie to have access to his projects-files Dani is also working on.
I can’t really believe Adobe is suggesting us to share our own credentials, i. e. working with and even producing such a massive security issue in Creative Cloud. I hope not. Well, actually I think I missed something. Or didn’t I?
Any hints would be much appreciated!
G

Hi,
Rather than sharing your credentials, you'll want to add "Katie" as a user of the Business Catalyst site. There is a direct link to "Add In-Browser Editing Users" in the dialog that shows up after Publish completes.
The same page can be accessed by selecting the File > Manage Business Catalyst Site menu in Muse, and then (in the Business Catalyst page that opens in the browser) selecting Site Settings > Admin Users.

Great!
I hope that you will integrate Muse and BC as soon as possible in a way that our clients can edit all their sites / pages via Muse by using In-Browser Editing tool. I understand that there are many challenges but this could be our common goal.

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.
