Ecommerce within incontext

Can you have paypal ecommerce buttons in an editable region allowing your client to swap item photo and item number?

Thats cool..
See the release notes (esp this section):
Known issues and limitations
Web server and site configuration
InContext Editing service doesn’t take into consideration the communication protocol when defining a site. Ex: http://www.mysite.com/ is considered to be identical to https://www.mysite.com/; In this case, InContext Editing will prevent users from registering these URL’s as separate web sites.
Websites working exclusively on HTTPS are not supported.

Incontext Editing password is not remembered

Hi my browser is set to remember log ins and passwords but when ever I log into Incontext Editing it is not retained, is there a setting within Incontext Editing that I need to change?

Nope.. it never works. I've posted several times on it.
Doesn't matter anyway.. the service is being discontiued all together.

Amend URL of site

Hi I upload files to a newsite folder during developmental stage and then transfer to another folder but I dont' seem to be able to amend the URL of my site within incontext editing,?

Horsemad,
I think I understand your question. InContext does not update links to files when you move a site page to another folder.
It is probably best to do this in Dreamweaver, as it will give you the option to update all links at once. If you make an editable region within a div, you can create a new link or edit an existing one from the InContext Properties bar. But once again NOT site wide changes.
Hope this answers your question,
-Tom

Can't cut and paste while in editing mode

While I am actually in editing mode within InContext, I can't seem to cut/paste a line from one paragraph and add it to another. I can cut the line but not paste. I have gotten the below window, but even ctrl-v doesn't work. I can cut and paste from another application into the editable areas.
I am on a PC.
Anyone else have this problem?

Hi, I'm the web designer. Here are answers from the client Glenn who
is doing the updates.
He has tried on a PC and a Mac. Works fine for me.
Is this happening all the time, on each copy and paste? - yes
Or it's working for a while than it suddenly stops working?
It did work for a while then stopped. Then yesterday worked once. Then
stopped.
Is this happening on a specific page or on all pages?
I'm only working on one page..
Please provide a link to a page where copy & paste doesn't work and
eventually invite me as an editor (mailto:[email protected]).

How do you add a horizontal tabbed panel within the eCommerce "Individual-Product-Large" page?

I am a new user to Business Catalyst and Muse web design... So sorry if this seems like a daft question
I have created a website in Muse.
Then I created the template page that BC can reference for the eCommerce area and inserted the tag to hold content from the BC - {tag_pagecontent}.
I then created products and catalogues, grouped products etc - all groovy. Working great.
I then decided that it was time to style the page as per my design - snap shot below (similar to how i did for the blog - which works great).
So i started with the page layout.
I managed to move the content from left to right and change widths, i then started to try to create the tabbed section in the same way and ba bowwwwww - epic fail
I want to use a "Horizontal Tabbed Widget" as per the one i picked from Muse.
I have a LOT of information that is unique for each product, so rather than have this huge page, its just easier to show it this way - plus it seemed pretty standard on other eCommerce site...
But I am stumped.
I'm so confused, i thought if i copied what seemed like a standard on other sites it would be fairly easy, especially since Muse has the Horizontal Tabbed widget - i though it would just come over to BC.
Except, i can't get it to work...
I'm not sure what i am doing wrong?
A) I would like the "Individual-Product-Content" to look like the Horizontal Tabbed Widget in the screen shot of the original design from inside Muse below - im sure its possible.
The Tabbed section is unique to the product, as is the description and the little icons bottom left and the ingredients.
B) then the next conundrum is that each tab would have unique text to the product it is showing, how do i add those fields into the BC Product menu where the product is created and added to catalogues etc.
I have searched and searched the web and have found nothing that is helpful.
Anything that i have found only does a portion of what i need.
I found something on jQuery - should i be using this?
Or can i create the same thing using CSS?
Or should i be combing jQuery with the BC Web Apps?
I'd really just like help where i can be pointed in the direction of the instructions to achieve this.
I even downloaded the BC instruction manual, which also has nothing.
I'm sure that the answer is very very simple - but i'm just not experienced enough and after a week of trying to find the solution i thought i'd ask the experts!
I really do appreciate anyone who takes the time to help me out.
Thanks heaps!

Current layout in Adobe BC:

HI DAVIDFON, Thank you for replying to my post.
I am using Adobe Business Catalyst to build the eCommerce component of the site. This is where i came a cropper.
I'm not using Bootstrap or Foundation. I have done a little research on both and am wondering how easy it is to add the tabbed section to Business Catalyst with Bootstrap? nothing really explains this online...
I'm also wondering how easy it is to put in custom information in the tabbed sections when the fields and tags are not available in Business Catalyst.
Do you know if i can add custom fields and new tags in Business catalyst when you add products in BC?
I'm sure you can but i can't find any reference to this online either?
Thanks for your help.

Using InContexT editing, how do I give specific users editing writes to different pages within site?

I have trawled around the support pages but although it mentions in passing that this is possible, I can't seem to find out how to do it.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hello Rupert,
This version of InContext Editing does not offer a method to specify access rights per pages. This is a functionality that we have in mind, but we don't have a set date for when it will be available.
Thank you,
Cristinel

Using ecwid ecommerce code within muse -- all in one column?

Although new to using Muse, I have good experience with DW.
In its simplest form, following the link here on how to place the code into Muse:http://kb.ecwid.com/w/page/49244914/Adobe%20Muse
(using "Insert Html" on muse page, this is the code)
<div id="my-store-4167334">If you your browser does not support JavaScript, please proceed to its <a href="http://app.ecwid.com/jsp/4167334/catalog">simple HTML version</a>.</div><div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://app.ecwid.com/script.js?4167334" charset="utf-8"></script><script type="text/javascript"> xProductBrowser("categoriesPerRow=3","views=grid(3,3) list(10) table(20)","categoryView=grid","searchView=list","id=my-store-4167334");</script>
</div>
The categories are all pushed into a single column rather than spanning horizontally. It runs downwards and I cannot manipulate the frame, it only stretches. If I click on clothing to view products, it get worse. As far I as know I cannot add the code to a container or div in muse? Check it out -- http://www.windrivergear.com/test/gear.html
If I create a blank page in DW, define a div and place the ecwid code within, its fine. So the issue is more within Muse or lack of ability to define a div within the ecwid code.
Hopefully I'm missing something simple.
Any ideas?

Hello,
Could you please try stretching the HTML box to right and check if it helps?
It worked fine for me when the Insert HTML box was stretched to right.

Sachin

New EDI Implementation - Flat File format for SPSI in eCommerce Gateway

Hi,
we are trying to setup EDI with a business partner, goal is to import a DELFOR message into Oracle Order Management. Plans are: translate the inbound message into the SPSI flat file format, load it through eCommerce Gateway / Release Management into Order Management.
For this purpose I'd like to test to the import of a SPSI flat file into eCommerce Gateway / Release Management, however I have difficulties to get a proper flat file. Is there a way to generate example flat files somehow? I tried to generate my own flat file, based on the Oracle manuals, but how can I be sure that the format is correct (besides of running the import program)? Any advice on this?
Or is there a better way, e.g. through XML files?
Thanks in advance,
David.

Hi, thanks for the response.
Yes I use that report already to get the details of the flat file. But what I am missing is for example which records are repeated, e.g. for every 4000 record, do I need one 0010 record, or can I put multiple 4000 records within one 0010 record?
regards,
David.

Looking for 2 Product Solutions for eCommerce site created in Muse and published to BC

Seeking suggestions for 2 separate BC eCommerce website product applications: I have within BC so far about 200 image in the in a folder in the "File Manager" -AND- each image has been optimized as a low-res digital image down-load product (divided among 20 catalogs).
#1. Image downloads not for individual purchase but as (a bundle of 6 for one price) and (a bundle of 13 for second price) only.
I'm trying to customize two BC products a 6 Pack & 13 Pack of digital image downloads. Normally in BC, a visitor could purchase a single image as a downloadable product and after successful check-out they would receive an email containing the download links. I need to disable single unit purchases and enable the customer to ONLY select 6 images for one price -or- select 13 images for one price. After successful check-out they would receive links for either 6 download files or 13 based on their purchase. They could also purchase multiple pack sets.
#2. Allow the site visitor to select 12 images (from 200 images among 20 catalogs) for a 12 month custom calendar which would be printed and shipped. The BC product here would be a 12 month custom calendar. I have a product listed in BC as a "12-Month Custom Calender" and a display page titled the same. I have been looking into a drag n drop system that would allow the visitor to: purchase the product > select 12 images > submit their select by email to site admin.
I have limited coding skill and I should mention that I originally created and continue to add-on to the site with Adobe Muse. Because I chose to use Muse, I have been looking for solutions that I can embed in Muse pages as "Objects" as Muse will over-write BC custom elements as it is over-written. I have looked at either using a 12 field drag n drop which might work but I can't determine how to make the 20 catalogs available on the same page to select from.
Can ANYONE offer suggestions?
Thanks

Sorry but in no way will you get that to work using Muse.
You need to custom trigger the core functionality BC fires to add to cart in the system as well as update the visuals etc, and also overcome some of the BC scripting and what that does and function overrides etc. You need a high end front end developer at the least to be able to help you, and not using 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

Ecommerce purchase on 30 day account

Hello all,
Has anyone used, or know of a way, the get a quote function in the ecommerce to allow wholesalers to purchase items on account. What I thought could happen is this:
Wholesaler is approved for 30 day account
Wholesaler logs in
Purchases items
Insted of clicking on the check out link clicks on get a quote (which would be renamed and only visible to wholesalers)
they submit the get a quote form
those items are tracked manually by the owner of the site
they then issue their account at the end of the month
OR
Could in the check out form a radio box be used to identify the payment method on account (modify an existing radio button to simply say this, like the one for offline payment). This would only be visible to wholesalers. THen at the end of the month it is processed.
Besides verifying that the person is a 30 day account holder can anyone see any problems with either of these two options?
Thanks

Just from what you describe the second one is the easiest. I would also depending on how many products you have to set up a catalogue for wholesalers within a secure zone. Then the wholesaler is forced to log in first.

Editable region with ecommerce

Can client without dreamweaver update content in an editable region containing Paypal ecommerce buttons?
My client wants to be able to update region with seasonal item photo and add to cart button.


We need to update this empty region with content across 300+ pages, but the basic Find & Replace will not do the trick, as this is a locked region within the child page and therefore -- I believe -- is not 'findable'. Aside from manually updating each page with the tracking pixel (groan!), is there an Ace up anyone's sleeve to help me expedite this task?
Help me understand what you are trying to do, please. The region you show above and are wanting to populate (as I understand it) is not a locked region. It would be completely editable in both template and child pages. However, if what you want is to make changes to a NON-EDITABLE region, you could do that several ways:
1. Use a server-side include to carry the desired content into the non-editable region. The link to the include would be in the non-editable part of the template, but the include file is still editable.
2. Use a DW Library item in the exact same way.
3. Add the desired content in a PHP block at the top of the page, and then just echo it where desired.
The advantage of method 1 is that you edit one file and upload it, and all 300 pages are changed at the server level. The advantage of method 2 is that you edit one library file, and all pages will also be changed, but then you must upload all 300 pages subsequent to that change. The advantage of method 3 is that it, too, is simple both to implement and to Find/Replace when needed, but again, all changed pages need to be uploaded.

InContext and Spy Tabbed Panels

First I have to get it out of the way that I'm with everyone
else who thinks it's silly that there is no indication as to what
the InContext service will cost. Even if you could throw a ballpark
out there it would help people decide whether or not to fart around
with it. I'm guessing the difference between a $10 a month service
and $100 is going to be the difference between lots of people
loving it to lots of people passing it by. Seems like the
developers could throw us a little bit of a bone on this.
Secondly, I was planning on redesigning my entire site where
each page has tabbed panels. My site is an advertising site with
lots of vendors, so each of their pages would have a default tab
for their main copy, a photo gallery, a video clip, and contact
information. I'd love to let them be able to update their own
default tab info, and their contact information tab, but not access
the other. But I'm curious as to how InContext would handle a page
with Tabbed Panels? I assume I could designate Div tags within the
panels I want them to be able to edit, but I'm wondering how those
panels would appear to the editor using InContext.
Again, I'd jump right in and try this on my own but I agree
with many here that it doesn't make sense to spend time designing
and testing this service with no clue whatsoever if it will be
within my budget to use it. Thanks.

Hello Brian,
I absolutely understand the importance of getting some sort
of information related to future pricing, and I'm still waiting for
word on that. So please keep checking the forum! I'll post to the
main topic on pricing as soon as I can. Again, we really appreciate
everyone's feedback - and patience on this.
Regarding your other question, yes, you would specify the
tabbed panel content div (or divs
within the tabbed panel content div) as editable.
For example, you have Tab 1 panel content, which contains the
vendor main copy, photo gallery etc., and then Tab 2 panel content,
which contains basic vendor contact info. You specify Tab 2 panel
content as editable. When the vendor has logged in and is editing
the site, they simply click on Tab 2 to display the Tab 2 panel,
and they can then edit the content in the editable region(s).
However, I should clarify that you cannot currently restrict
certain users to certain divs/pages within a site. If you were to
allow your vendors the ability to update editable sections on the
site, they would be able to update
all editable sections of your site.

Ecommerce - Deleted Webform

I'm trying to set up the Ecommerce functions within business catalyst. Everything seems to be working fine, but when I put in all the checkout and payment information and hit "Submit" to complete the sale, I get the following error:
ERROR: You have deleted your web form. Please login to the Admin panel of your website and remove the previously submitted form from the web page you last visited. You will need to recreate this web form by going to Modules -> Webforms. After recreating simply insert this new web form into the web page and your web form should work properly.
I'm assuming there's a web form in the background that handles the submission of the checkout process, but I can't seem to figure out how it works with the checkout layout.
Any help is appreciated.

yer I did that last week and again today, it seems to only update for new products/catalogs but keeps all of the deleted catalogs.
another example too is if I was to upload a spreedsheet of new products and incorrectly labelled a catalog it would index both catalogs so if I fix the mistake then delete the incorrect catalog the product search still would show this incorrect/deleted catalog. Im guessing that BC would also index both catalogs in the sitemap too.
And what if you have no products left in a catalog therefore disabling that catalog, then that catalog would show in search results too.

That's correct Corey.
The client is in Cyprus accessing the editor through a Firefox browser, which he had been successfully doing for some time now.
His representative, using the same login and password in Canada is able to access the editor fine.
I've since sent him a seperate login invitation
I've asked him to try another browser / computer.
update his flash
He said his flash wouldn't update, so I don't know if it's an issue with his browser, computer, or user.
I'm waiting on the other two action items.
Thanks for your involvement.
