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

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Trouble hosting muse site with Business Catalyst

    I built a site with muse and am hosting with BC(creative cloud subscription). The original site is kittlesoncreekpress.businesscatalyst.com, trying to publish to www.kittlesoncreekpress.com but I get a 404 error when I try to publish. The namesservers are set correctly with domain registrar.
    HELP!!!
    Thanks so much!

    Hello Tony,
    When I tried to access kittlesoncreekpress.com, the URL that came up is http://www.kittlesoncreekpress.com/www.kittlesoncreek.com
    Notice the www.kittlesoncreek.com after the domain name.
    I have checked all the settings on the business catalyst end for the site kittlesoncreekpress.businesscatalyst.com, and they seem fine. The domain has been added correctly, the nameservers are fine as well. Please check if there is some fowarding etc. applied to the domain from the registrar's end.
    Cheers

    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.

  • Can't publish my Muse site to business catalyst

    When I try to publish my site, I receive an error:  SHARED UNKNOWN ERROR 80.  I'm very frustrated.  I was receiving help and have a case # but no way to contact again

    I am not sure that error 21 is the same as the authentication error 80.  The suggested solution for error 80 worked for me.  At first I confused closing the application with the 'Sign out' or the 'Quit' option in File.  The Adobe ID and the application Muse aren't synched so quitting each and then reopening works.  I've had to do this several times as I worked.

  • My company's default browser is IE 8 - is hosting a Muse site on Business Catalyst a bad idea?

    I've created a site, and we are currently in pre-production. Our IT department says that it must be compliant with IE 8, as that is our standard across the company. I looked at the site in IE 8, and it looks fine, but in reading the tech specs for Adobe CC it says that:
    The Creative Cloud website is designed to work optimally in the latest versions of Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. The site should degrade gracefully on older browsers; you may have trouble using certain features on those older versions. Internet Explorer 8 and earlier are not supported.
    So now I'm wondering if I need to go find some old program to work with IE 8... any direction would be lovely!

    If the users of your company are viewing the site in IE 8 and it works fine you should be fine, however, I am not sure if the BC Admin (or the Creative Cloud site) will work in IE 8. As long as they do not need to access those you should be fine if your site works in IE 8.
    On a side note: tell the IT department they should upgrade to a real browser. It would benefit the entire company as many, many companies and sites are dropping support for IE 8. It is such an outdated browser. If they are still using Win. XP then tell them to use Firefox or Chrome. (I know it is much easier said than done, but it never hurts to encourage them. =>  )

  • Launch my site from Business Catalyst

    Hello everyone, I'm new here and recently I built my website in Muse.
    To Launch my new site from Business Catalyst and link it to my domain name,  do I need to subscribe to Business Catalyst and Muse?
    Thanks

    Hi
    You can published the site to BC directly from Muse , if you are subscribed to creative cloud then you don't need to subscribe BC separately.

    Ok, I can't seem to find a straight answer for this question anywhere online without something else I find contradicting it.
    PLEASE can someone tell me if my clients can edit text and images on Muse sites within Business catalyst, admin?
    Ido not care if it does not revert the changes to the muse application on my mac. I just want my clients to be able to maintain there text and images without contacting me.
    If and when the design needs to be changed on the original muse file, I will simply update the Muse file to correspond with the site online then make the further changes after that.
    I REALLY want to use Muse to create websites for my clients but if they can't update image/text content remotely then It's not going to work for me and 90% of freelance designers.
    Please can someone clear this up for me.

  • In-Browser Editing disapears on some pages of my site in Business Catalyst

    I uploaded an Adobe Muse Site to Business Catalyst as a temporary site so my client can proof it and learn how the in-browser editing works. The first two pages allow the elements to be edited by way of the Edit or Click buttons, but any of the inner pages do not have the ability to be edited. These pages can only be reach using the main navagation menu placed at the top of each inner page.
    I should mention that I'm using the "Upgraded Content Editor" in "Site Settings" "Beta Features".  If I turn that beta feature off, then there is no way to navagate to other pages because there is no "Pages" menu item present.
    Please Help!
    Thanks

    Sorry for the confusion, but the problem occurs after getting into the site.
    click on one of the locations then under the login is a link saying “Temporary Login Link”  which will bring you to the home page
    this link:
    http://allaboardparentproof.businesscatalyst.com/AdminConsoleXT/icecube/home---on-the-huds on.html
    you can edit these elements, but then click on any othe menu link - “Menu” Forms” etc.
    The problem is when you get on any other page the edit ability disappears.
    And if you look at the url you can see that it hasn’t change since the Home page.
    If you replace the “home” in the url “home—- on-the-hudson.html” to “Menu” then it works properly.

  • 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?

    I need to clarify how I can use adobe as a host for my site for free. I see where business catalyst is supposed to be temporary as well as it is recommended to use as the better alternative to launch my muse site. But then I have to use the long extension of "businesscatalyst" in addition to the domain name I'd prefer. How exactly can I take it live? do I have to use a third party hosting?

    Hi,
    Once you are done with your sitet, Click on Publish in Muse, select New Site from the drop down, It will ask you a name for your site, which will be used for  site url, you will get a url like mysite.businesscatalyst.com, then go to the browser and login to the admin panel, mysite.businesscatalyst.com/admin and on Dashboard, click Launch site. This will push your site live, and you can then add your custom domain.
    Also make sure that you have completed all these actions mentioned here

    Updated to Adobe Muse 2014 this morning and have worked in it for the last 8 hours. Now when I try to publish the updated site to Business Catalyst for my client to preview it crashes everytime. I have tried just publishing altered files only, then tried the whole site again, and then tried publishing as a new site altogether. Thought I would then try to export as HTML in the hope of uploading the files via an FTP client and Muse crashes and locks up again. I am extremely stressed about this as I am in the last few days of of website I have been working on now with no issues since December. We are due to go live and my client needs to see it. I am desperate for an answer. It is not looking good. I am on an Apple Mac and have not had any isses publishing it for the last 6 months. Not very happy to say the least. Need desperate help.

    Hi Zak, I got onto Adobe Customer Care Live Chat this morning and gave them the error message. After some trouble shooting with them it appears the older archived file of the site still publishes. I have now reverted back to the old file and copied and pasted out of the new file and from some ideas given to me by support I am now able to publish to Business Catalyst. It seems there was something corrupt within the new pages added yesterday. I have no idea if this would have still happened if I hadn't updated but I am glad it wasn't a Muse specific problem. I am loving using Muse and the support from Adobe has been excellent. Thanks everyone. By the way I do love the new version and apart from this hick up that lost me a few hours, aged me some more and gave me grey hair I really love Muse. Thanks again.
