Integrating Adobe Muse and Business Catalyst

Hello. Normally I don't take on CMS or E-Commerce sites because I'm kinda simple in the head when it comes to figuring out code and stuff, but with the integration between Adobe Muse and Adobe Business Catalyst I'm thinking about giving it a shot. (And I kinda need the moolah, to be honest...)
I'm trying to bid two sites, one CMS and one a fairly small E-Commerce, both for the same customer. I'm hoping to find a kind and patient person with Business Catalyst and Muse experience who can help me figure out what BC will cost so I can bid the job accurately (BC has so many different packages and whatnot I really don't know which one to buy - I'm truly baffled by the options and don't want to bid the sites based on BC costing me $400 a year, only to find I need to buy the $900/month option), then help answer all the goofy questions I'll have when I try to get Muse and BC to work together. If anyone is willing to help me through this project via phone and/or e-mail, please PM me - I'll gladly pay for your time (I don't expect good advice for free).
Thanks!

Hi Chris,
You can find the pricing here: http://www.businesscatalyst.com/pricing/monthly
CMS is offered with the "Web Marketing" plan while online shop capabilities can be enabled via "E-Commerce" (which also includes CMS)
Here's a good video on Muse & BC integration: www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=K-Od9LDWUcU\
I'll leave this open for further intervention/advice from other members.
Kind Regards,
Alex

Create and send EDM using Adobe MUSE and Business Catalyst.

There is just one thing missing in my armour as a graphic designer – creating and sending EDMs.
Given the success of creating websites using Adobe Muse, an EDM functionality would be a fantastic addition to MUSE and Business Catalyst (BC). Imagine this:
1. I open Adobe Muse.
2. I select "New EDM" (instead of "New Site").
3. I design and build my EDM to spec.
4. I test my EDM using 'Preview' or a single send to myself.
5. I publish my EDM to Business Catalyst.
6. In BC, I review my EDM and add 'FROM NAME', 'FROM EMAIL ADDRESS' and 'SUBJECT'.
7. I import my database.
8. I hit SEND!
After my EDM has gone out, I can review a report in BC - just like any report for a website.
As a designer that does not know code but can build a website using MUSE - creating an EDM is the one thing I can't personally offer. Using a digital supplier can be expensive and website like Mail Chimp aren't professional enough.
To the Adobe Muse team, please – for the love of humanity – consider this as viable addition to MUSE. You will save a lot of heart ache and win a lot of hearts.
Thanks,
Phil

Done!

Adding a search bar when using Muse and Business Catalyst

Hello and greetings,
I am creating a site with Adobe muse and Business Catalyst integration for blogs and ecommerce. I know you can add a search bar using this tutorial from Muse Themes. However, will it search everything created between both Muse and Business Catalyst, or will it only search for Muse created content if inserted in Muse?
Does anyone know?

Hello,
When you create a search option in a Business Catalyst site, it searches everyting in the site, all th contents of the site that is. So, whatever the content of the site is, it will be indexed for searching purposes, provided you used the BC search bar.
Cheers

Remove "My Adobe Partner and Business Catalyst" from Campaign email footer

My campaign emails all go out with "My Adobe Partner and Business Catalyst" at the bottom of each email.
I don't want this. Can you tell me how to remove it please.
Thanks.

Are you a BC partner and have a partner portal? Go to your settings and you set your own info or place blank characters to have it blank. Otherwise you cant.

Using Adobe Muse without Business Catalyst

Hi All,
I'm currently in the planning stages of designing a website for on of my clilents and was wondering what the limitations are when usnig MUSE without Business Catalyst? My client already has hosting package set up and wants to use Google Analytics to get data from the site so a Business Catalyst account wouldn't really be needed.
Things they have requested on the site are an online shopping cart and a news page that they can update themselves (using a basic CMS system).
I guess my question is, are these two features possible in MUSE without Business Catalyst or would I be better off using something like Freeway Pro to design the site?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
Dan

If your client wants to update file on their own, Muse can do it, but it's only possible combined with Business Cayalyst.

Integrating newsletter submission form into adobe muse (with business catalyst hosting)

Hi,
I have seen some posts on this question but i don't quite understand how i should go about this. I have created a form, for my newsletter, in muse which fits the style of my website, i would like to use this form to automate a response when someone signs up to it. Will the visitors details be stored on the business catalyst CRM database? Any help would be appreciated.
Lewis

Hello Lewis,
Visitors details will be stored on Business catalyst. I found a video, that shows how you can add the BC modeules in Muse, and customize it, it is using News section for example, this will give you an idea, how you can do this for Newsletter
Please let me know if you have any other query.

I was able to publish my site from Muse to Business Catalyst two days ago, but yesterday and today it is timing out when trying to connect to Business Catalyst. What should I do?

Migrating Adobe ID to Creative Cloud and Business Catalyst

I've bought CC monthly subscription refers to the same Adobe ID that I used previously with the trial of Adobe Muse and BC. Now the applications of CC work well with this Adobe ID but I cannot create my 5 websites included, it seems that BC continue to work as a trial. How can I have my Adobe ID working with BC?

Hi there,
Please have a read of http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2152 and get back to us if you're still unsure what to do.

Looking into starting a business using creative cloud and business catalyst

Hi,
I am just looking for a bit of clarification on a few things. I am looking at using Creative cloud and Business Catalyst for a new business.
Firstly, if I have both a Mac and a PC, will one creative cloud subscription allow me to install on both?
Secondly, with Business Catalyst if I am wanting to make more than 5 websites, do I have to use the partner plan? or is this just if I want to make comission? Basically can I pay individually for subscriptions to more than 5 sites on behalf of customers without paying the initial partner fee while I am starting up? Obviously long term the partner option makes sense but short term for start up it would be useful to just sell the adobe subscriptions without earning comission. Hope this makes sense?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Adam

Hi Adam,
I'm very happy to hear that you want to start a business using BC and Creative Cloud - this is one of the goals of our integration.
To you first question, yes, you can install Creative Cloud on both your machines.
To your second question - you don't need to be a paid partner while you're starting up. You can remain a free partner, and just buy supplemental websites from the Partner portal. You're right, you won't get the comission, but it's a pretty good deal anyway.
If you're starting up, I also strongly recomment the BCGurus "Zero to BC Hero" training program - not only they explain you the BC product, but they also include a lot of great business insights on running a web agency
Sincerely,
Alexandru

I have a problem connecting Muse with business catalyst.

I have a problem connecting Muse with business catalyst. When I start the publication is presented with the following message: Timeout when accessing with Adobe ID. Check your network connection and try again. But the connection is working properly.

Hi Federico,
Please go to Edit > Preferences in Muse and make sure the "Publish with Account" has the creative cloud subscription Adobe ID.

Custom blog in Adobe Muse and BC can't get body copy css to work

Hello,
I've been creating a custom blog through Adobe Muse and in Business Catalyst according to directions I found in a video.
Seems like everything is working out for the most part with adding custom styles to modulestylesheets.css however, I can not for the life of me get the body text of the
blog to cooperate. At least according to the video I'm following.
This is the css I'm adding according to instructions and it's the only part that won't work - won't change. My guess is that something somewhere else is over riding this but I can't find it.
/* blog body text */
.post-body
    color: #534741;!important;
    font-family: muli;sans-serif;!important;
    font-size: 12px;!important;
    font-weight: 400;!important;
    padding: 0;!important;
    line-height: 84px;!important;
As you can see - I even added the important tag to see if it would work but still nothing. I'm at a loss and need to have this site complete and launched with new domain by tonight!
The link:
http://lisastendig.businesscatalyst.com/embodiment-blog
I'm trying to get the body copy to be the font Muli as well as with some proper interline spacing.
I hope someone can help today - it would be so much appreciated. Thank you!

Hi BubbleHouse,
I checked the details layout of the blogs and seems the font-family is entered in the inline code of the blog post and it is taking preceedence over the system css.
You can go to the content of blog post and change the font-family: calibri, serif to font-family: inherit, it should take the font from the modulestylesheet.css
<span style="font-size: 15pt; font-family: calibri, serif; color: #343434; background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent;">

Mixing ordinary html and business catalyst

Hello,
I am trying to come up with a decent workflow for my designers , who can draw up a page in photoshop or indesign, bring it in DreamWeaver,
then when it is final ,I want the page to sit with other web apps in businesscatalyst like email marketting.
Is this a standard practise?
I am having some issue, which may be because one of the designers was using Muse.
However I want to know if we can add a brand new page in dream wever and let it it seamless with rest of business catalyst generated sit.
Can any one give me an answer from first hand experience with DreamWeaver and Business Catalyst? Thanks for your time.
Cheers
Pronob

I figured this : we need to first create a site through the business catalyst site option in dream weaver.
Once it is done we can import other sites into the same site, by first creating a local copy of the site to be imported and then specifying the same business catalyst site that we created already as the remote server.
After that we can selectively upload individual files /pages from the importing site[local copy].
