First eCommerce site - Business Catalyst or Third Party extension?

Hi all,
I'm just starting out in freelance web design and I have a thorough knowledge of HTML and CSS and have built numerous sites using dreamweaver previously. I now have a full CC package (and am loving it I must say), but am far more a designer than a developer and thus my knowledge of PHP CF etc. are at the very least limited. I now have a client who is interested in an ecommerce site and I just wondered what approach people would suggest.
From my reading I can see that third party extensions such as cartweaver often rely on PHP or CF and since my knowledge of them is minimal, I had guessed that BC would be the way to go, but if anybody could give me any reasons as to why I could be right or wrong with this, it would be greatly appreciated!

Unless you're familiar with building a CMS, MySql databases, PHP connections, web server security and PCI compliance, an e-commerce site is best left in the hands of experienced professionals. BC is one option to consider if you intend to use it to build & host the site. BC Modules won't work on other servers.
There are other 3rd party shopping carts services you could use like PayPal and ASecureCart Shopping Cart. A secure, PCI Compliant shopping cart..

PLEASE HELP!! I've used iWeb to create multiple sites, all published to third party servers. The very last site I made changes to is showing up in any domain file I open - despite their different names and locations on my iMac. I just switched to Lion.

Please HELP!! I just switched to Lion. I have created multiple websites using iWeb 3.0.4 and despite my having saved their 'domain' files in various locations and using different filenames, upon opening the domain files I keep getting the very last site I published. All the sites were published to third party servers. The domain files (still have a preview that look correct and have different file sizes) but keep going back to the last site published. HELP ME PLEASE!! Are the old files still available?!!

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Come here and discuss the business process of Third Party Purchase Order?

come here and discuss the business process of Third Party Purchase Order?
when this po is used and the following process is what?

Hi YuLin
It is a vague topic..anyways i will tell you one important scenario of the 3rd party order :Third Party Without Shipping Notification(its imp one)
In third-party order processing, your company does not deliver the items requested by a customer. Instead, you pass the order along to a third-party vendor who then ships the goods directly to the customer and bills you.
In this scenario, the vendor does not send a shipping notification. The incoming invoice from the vendor updates the billing quantity, so that the customer-billing document is only possible after entering the invoice from the vendor
Function List
The following functions are provided to support the Third Party Without Shipping Notification (J55) building block:
When the order is created, the specification of material numbers, quantity and conditions takes place at item level. As the material is not available on stock, a purchase requisition is created directly within the sales order.
Purchase Order Processing
The purchase requisition can already be automatically assigned during creation. If not, it is possible to assign the purchase requisition manually. The purchase order is created with reference to the purchase requisition. The quantity and the material are transferred from the sales order. The purchase order price can now also be determined using condition records.
Vendor Invoice Verification
The vendor invoice verification must take place before customer billing. The quantity of the invoice updates the quantity to be invoiced in the sales order.
Billing Documents
The billing documents are carried out on the basis of the order. Since the vendor might not deliver the exact quantity ordered, quantity adjustment takes place through the quantity in the vendor's invoice.
Controlling
The revenue and costs will be posted to CO-PA via the billing document
Key Points
As no shipping notification is available, the customer invoice can only be created after having finished vendor invoice verification.

2008 R2 Multi-Site Cluster Possible without Third Party Software?

2008 R2 Multi-Site Cluster Possible without Third Party Software? I know it has been asked, but I haven't seen a specific answer. We are using Dell Compellent Storage and I created several read only replicated volumes at our DR site. I
am having issues failing over to the volumes after I use cluster cli to mount the read only volumes.
Any help would be appreciated greatly!

To have this working reliably you need to have 1) redundant and pretty fatty pipes between your sites (Primary and Disaster Recovery) and 2) your storage (Compellent in your case) being placed in third location. If you'll have both conditions met you'll
have decent performance and would avoid brain split issue when both sites would be up and uplink between sites is down. Good links on geo clustering:

Third party extension in Jdeveloper 11.1.2.0.0

Hi All,
Now Jdev 11.1.2.0.0 is supports for third party extension(PMD rules) ?.
Thanks,
Vass Lee.

PMD is written by a 3rd party developer, and not Oracle. They have not ported the extension to work with JDev 11gR2 yet. I know they have started to look into it, but the lead developer just had a new baby and they are focusing on their new family member that last time I spoke with them. Hopefully they will have something soon. I recommend that you contact the PMD team directly for more details on when they will have the extension available for JDev 11.1.2 (11gR2).

Wireframing - third party extensions with Dreamweaver?

Hi,
I'm learning the concept of wireframing, and am aware that the answer to my question will probably be obvious to more people than to me. Does Dreamweaver work with a third party extension in wireframing? (Maybe that's what the template are for, but I don't know.) I'm currently using Adobe Dreamweaver CS4, have not upgraded yet to CS5.
Thanks in advance!
David

Hi,
How exactly are you planing to use the wireframes? We have a Dreamweaver extension that can be used for wireframing, please send us an email.
Thanks,

If I upload a site to FTP host (third party hosting), will my client have any kind of site management options like the dashboard page on Business Catalyst?

I am creating this website for a client, and they want to be able to take it once I'm finished and manage it on their own. However, they are not Adobe users, so I am using BlueHost to host the site instead of Business Catalyst. If I do this, will there be a way that they can view analytics or have any kind of management page like the dashboard in BC? With the new update, they can now use the in-browser editing option through a third party hosting site, but they would like to have something where they can view the analytics.
I've searched and searched to find an answer to this and haven't found one. I don't want the client to spend the money on the hosting site if it is not the best option for what they want. But, since they are not Adobe users, they can't use BC, and I don't want to use one of my free BC sites.
Please help!

You would have to add analytics etc yourself likely Google Analytics. As for a Dashboard, no they won't. On a side note, the client does not have to be an Adobe User to have it hosted on BC. You can just create the site, host it on BC and simply add them as an admin. They don't have to be an Adobe user.

Can you help me ?
Thank you.

Hi Marion,
After you have gone live with your BC site you'll need to access your domain's registrar and input our NS records.
So you'll need go where you purchased the domain to set this up. Please view the article below for step by step instructions.

Site business catalyst : serveur introuvable

Bonjour,
Je ne peux plus me connecter à l'admin d'un de mes site BC.com.
Lorsque je me "logge" sur BC et que je choisi le site que je souhaite manager, je suis redirigé vers un nom de domaine en www qui n'existe pas.
Du coup, ma requête abouti forcément à une page "Serveur introuvable".
Comment faire pour accéder de nouveau à l'admin de ce site afin de corriger le nom de domaine de la redirection ?
Merci de votre aide

Unless you're familiar with building a CMS, MySql databases, PHP connections, web server security and PCI compliance, an e-commerce site is best left in the hands of experienced professionals. BC is one option to consider if you intend to use it to build & host the site. BC Modules won't work on other servers.
