Editing template content of 'standard' templates in Business Catalyst

I used the Uniquate template example as the basis of the development of a new site. While I can update content I cannot find a way of editing the text within the standard template framework. For example I cannot edit 'Uniquate' to my required title. Have searched through the help pages. Surely there should be an easy way to overtype / edit the backbone structure or is it better to start from scratch? Can anyone advise the best approach. Thanks Stewart

Hey there,
I dont use templates in BC but content can be found in the system layouts, module layouts, templates, pages and things like content holders. What is the context of where that is. Knowing that will help lead you to the layout or content holder or template etc...

Dreamweaver error when using Business Catalyst module tags in template

Hi all,
this is a recent and very distruptive error I have come accross in Dreamweaver CC.
When editing a document attached to a Business Catalyst template in Dreamweaver,
I was getting an error message (attached) saying:
"You have made changes to the code that is not marked as editable. If you retain those changes, they will be lost the next time you apply a template update to this file. Do you want to retain the changes until then?"
This happened every time I added a new html tag to the page, p div etc... which made DW unusable for editing files.
Having not got any useful help from BC support, they told me to contact Dreamweaver support!
In the end, I found through troubleshooting that it was the content holder module tags from Business Catalyst that were causing the problem,
I had recently converted my Header, Footer, Scripts etc to Content Holders in the site admin,
and when I removed these tags from my template and replaced them with the original html the problem disappeared.
The problem was happening on both my macs so the problem looked real to me,
but from searching online I couldn’t find people with similar issues, which made me think I must be doing something wrong.
As an aside,
I find the workflow between Dreamweaver CC and Business Catalyst, particularly in relation to DW templates very confusing.
I couldn’t find any up-to-date best practice guides for using DW in the Business Catalyst workflow that discusses the real issues I get every day:
- Best practice DW template editable region for {tag_pagecontent}
- BC pages updated from DW lose their page titles {tag_pagetitle} in BC admin (always causes problems for me)
If anyone is having these issues and found a way to get around them I’d be very interested,
I hope that this post will help some people who run into the same problem.
thanks, Kieran Mahon.

I found what may be at least a temporary solution to this problem. The error seems to something to do with the template file not having been updated, so whenever DW reads the file it looks like the template code has been changed (which of course it hasn't). It may be to do with the way BC treats the template code on the server side, as it seemed to start happening after I had downloaded some files from the server.
I opened the affected page and clicked Modify->Templates->Update Current Page and so far no error messages. Just one gotcha though. If you have any BC tags or Liquid code in your templates, DW converts it all to some kind of gobbledegook, so before you update the Template, copy all of your editable code and then paste it back in once the update has been done.

Adobe Muse Business Catalyst

Hi
Im a student member using Muse. The 5 BC sites I get can I upgrade one individually so it can become a ecommerce site? And if so how much would that cost? Can I trial it first?
Im looking for an ecommerce option that will be completely customisable in Muse. Ive tried various widgets and there isnt the full flexibility I would like with the design. Will BC give my this?

BC will cost you $39/month USD for eCommerce Plan.
Yes you can do a full featured eCommerce site but not entirely in Muse. In Muse you can do your basic page layout but then you must convert the pages to BC Templates and do the rest with Business Catalyst. It is quite a large learning curve and will take extensive knowledge on how Business Catalyst works.

I am losing all my formatting when I preview or export to business catalyst.

Since today, text formatting in a text frame is lost when I use the Muse Preview or when I export the site, either to Business Catalyst or export as HTML.
This was not happening earlier today or yesterday
The Menus and graphics are fine

I believe the problems are being caused when I use the content function in Muse.
Business Catalyst test site that I have bad formatting is:
phoebecookbook.businesscatalyst.com
I have redone the site with cut and paste instead of content and here is the new site url:
phoebecookbook01.businesscatalyst.com
If we do find the code that causes the problem, can a web site be imported back into Muse? or should I be using Dreamweaver?
Your help is much appreciated
Dave

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.

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.

Okay, i figured out what it is. Might be a bug, not sure. If i create a template using dreamweaver and create editable areas, the only true editable area is the {page_content}. What's buggy is that when i download a page based on a template (page.html) through dreamweaver, it will download the page and in the code view it will show you the dreamweaver template and the editable areas you set. These cannot be changed. When you download page.html using a different FTP program, you will actually get the true contents of the page. So for example, if i enter

In the second example, you can't actually add anything in the editableAreas. Don't know why DW does that. Any ideas?

How to Edit PSD Files In Flash Template

Hi Everyone,
I am new to flash and I am trying to create my first flash site using a template that I have downloaded. I can edit the first page fine, but when I click the "about us" or any other section, the standard template text, Which isn't even in english, appears. I believe that these are psd files, and I have tried to edit them, saved and replaced file on my computer, but still I get the same unchanged text on this site when I preview. Could someone please tell me how to edit and replace these files within the flash movie?

Instance names are the reference names that you give to the individual items on the stage. Only movieClip and button symbols can have instance names.
When you import a photoshop file to Flash you will get individual bitmap objects on the stage and in a folder in the movie's Library. You will need to select each item, one at a time, on the stage and convert each one to a symbol. When you make that conversion the name that you give to that new movieClip or button is the name that you will see in the Library.
When you select that new symbol on the stage, look at the Properties window. You will now see a space at the top where you can give that item an instance name. The instance name is what you will use in Actionscript to control that object on the stage.
When you look in the movie's Library, you will see the original bitmap and the symbol that you created that contains that bitmap.
Does that help?

Using a Muse template in Business Catalyst

How can I use a template I created in Muse for my blog that is hosted on Adobe Business Catalyst? Creating web content in Muse is a lot easier and faster. I'm pretty familiar with Muse and BC, but I can't figure out how to do.
Currently I created a simple header and footer in BC and inserted {tag_pagecontent}. However, I'm much better at manuevering in Muse. I would also be able to be more creative in Muse.

I tried creating a page and inserting the {tag_pagecontent} in the Object>Insert HTML section. However, when that tag was on the page, the server kept throwing an error; it couldn't find the page. When I took the {tag_pagecontent} off of the page, it found the page.

Characters in Standard Template in Project not replaced in new project

Hi. I have created a coding mask : XOG..XXX.XXX.XX/XX-XX.000. With this coding mask I have created a standard wbs template , XOG.XXX.XXX.00/01. Now when I create a new project copying this template with project definition XOG.GRE.ADD.11/06, only the project definition has its characters replaced with the name of the project. The WBS' created still carry the characters in the standard template ie XOG.GRE.XXX.00/01. Is it possible to have the characters of the WBS replaced when creating a new project along side the project definition?

Hi,
Your Standard Project Definition is XOG.GRE.ADD.00/01 and bellow which you have created WBS element.
i.e.   XOG.GRE.ADD.00/01
        XOG.GRE.ADD.00/01-AB
        XOG.GRE.ADD.00/01-AB.1
Now while copying from std template you have given your new proj definition XOG.GRE.ADD.16/06 and bellow WBS element are getting created so there is no need to change any character before 16/06 because your project definition and 1 level WBS element should be the same.
Still if you want to change ADD with different characters i.e ABC follow the following procedure while creating the project.
1.     In CJ20N click on Copy project and enter your required project definition XOG.GRE.ADD.16/06
2.     Select required project profile
3.     Enter standard project definition XOG.GRE.ADD.00/01
4.     Click on WBS Element overview (F8) instead of OK
5.     Accept the warning messages
6.     Then Click on Replace and give your required characters to replace with i.e ADD to ABC
But this will have your project definition as XOG.GRE.ADD.16/06 and your WBS elements starting with XOG.GRE.ABC.16/06
i.e.   XOG.GRE.ABC.16/06
        XOG.GRE.ABC.16/06--AB
        XOG.GRE.ABC.16/06-AB.1
So there will be mismatch in project definition and WBS element codes. If your business is accepting it then you can create the same, but logically it is not correct.
regards,

Understanding templates in Adobe Business Catalyst

Hey all,
I'm trying to understand templates in adobe bc. Here's my problem. I created a generic template. This template is exactly the same for the home page or interior page with the exception of the home page having a hero on it. Here's what i did. I created the template with editable regions in the header area (so i can place css) and in the footer area (so i can place js). This is the only difference between all the templates. The problem is that when i try to put content in the the footer area, the editable region disappears from the page created with the template. BC seems to remove it. I've downloaded the .dwt file and edited and re-uploaded and then re-uploaded local .htm file... up/down/up/down but it doesn't seem to work. Do any of you have any suggestions?
in the page there are 3 editable regions. Title/Head/Footer. Any page created using this template will remove the footer. Also, when i download a page created with the template and edit in dreamweaver the title/header, it won't always take.
1 more thing, i also noticed that sometimes when i upload a .dwt file and upload it, when i go to the page templates in BC, the template i created only has {page_content} in it and all the html is gone. Any ideas on that? thanks.

Okay, i figured out what it is. Might be a bug, not sure. If i create a template using dreamweaver and create editable areas, the only true editable area is the {page_content}.

Sql Developer Data Modeler 3.0 EA1: Preference- Naming standard- Templates

I am trying to figure out how the naming standard templates work.
When I go to:
Preference -> Naming standard -> Templates
It says that 'Attribute Relation' is '{ref entity} {ref attribute}'
What is the consequence of this?
I thought, it would mean that when creating a primary key attribute (ID) on an entity (DEPARTMENT), the related "foreign key" attribute (that is automatically created in related detail entities, such as EMPLOYEES) would be named DEPARTMENT ID.
Instead it is just called ID. Is that the intended behavior?

Edited by: marc66 on 2010-10-29 05:59

Marc,
you should check "FK Attribute name synchronization" setting in "Preferences>Data Modeler>Model>Logical model" - probably it's checked and you cannot change the name of FK attribute.
I found another bug here - FK attribute doesn't follow changes in referred entity - I logged it in bug database. As workaround you can apply defined templates at entity level (there is button in entity dialog) or for whole logical model (using pop-up menu in the browser).

Wiki editing area too small after template customization

We have been working with a web developer for the last 2 months and he has
customized our wiki layout and provided the ability to order links manually
and to create static navigation links on the page menu using Javascript.
We are left with one bug we cannot fix:
When we go to edit a page in one of the wiki groups, the edit box sizes to a
maximum of about 200 pixels or 10 lines high and not the vertical height of
the entire content area as it does in the built in apple templates. This
makes editing text content difficult. Our developer thinks that the wiki is
looking for the div containers of the page to be in a specific order (which
we have changed in the customization) to set the height of the edit field.
We would like to know where we can get information on correcting this issue
so that the edit field fills the entire area when content or coding is being
changed?
Is there a file we can adjust or other method? CSS edits have not been
successful.

I think some of the "guilt" (stronger word than I really wanted) came from the fact that I couldn't donate as much time as I would have liked. Hopefully that will change more in the future, but either way it's all good, whatever you can donate. If everyone donated money and no time, that might be just as bad as everyone donating time and no money. I think the important thing is to contribute however you can so we can give back to this great distro and help to ensure it always keeps going.
