Muse, BC, e-commerce, inContext editing, subscriptions and UI v3

I created a site in Muse and planned to add e-commerce related modules in BC. Got the Muse site published to BC. Even managed to get get the domain name attached properly. Spent 3-ish hours digging through help topics and doing various web searches trying to figure out why couldn't do anything useful (my only option was "Manage Site" - I assumed, having watched a number of tutorials, that all the user friendly stuff I was after was being hidden for some unknown reason). Eventually stumbled across the answer - new interface. Turns out the "answer" wasn't at all helpful at all and I was stuck with these new incredibly non-user friendly controls (when compared to the old interface)... So now what?
I see the modules list, I see where I can add a catalog, but I can't find where I can set up the catalog to begin with. Obviously I can't add anything I haven't set up properly. It's worth noting that I currently have a free account. I think this came with my Muse subscription, but I also had a free thing going with BC before I downloaded Muse, so I have no real idea what my account status would be now. Anyway, I need to know the following:
1) Can I even create an e-commerce website using the Muse website I've created without paying? (Yes, I know you can set up a trial one through BC using the pre-built templtes. No, I'm not interested in doing that - I want to use the Muse layouts I've created)
2) If I must pay - where do I go to do so?
3) Regardless of payment issues, how in the world do I set up a catalog for my products?
4) Is it possible to set up modules using the inContext editor?
And most importantly...
4) Whose name do I curse for changing the interface and making this whole process needlessly difficult & frustrating?
Cheers!

Update to item 2)
I *have* located the Buying Guide ( http://www.adobe.com/products/business-catalyst/buying-guide-subscriptions.html ). My guess is that I must upgrade to the webCommerce option to make all of this possible. That's okay by me... Any guesses where I'd have to go to actually give Adobe my money??? There doesn't seem to be any way to actually pay for the upgrade in service, just information about what it includes and what price it would be if you could theoretically purchase it.

How do i remove incontext editing to allow contribute to work

Hi, I am hoping someone maybe able to help...
A while ago I put a site together at applied incontext editing regions. After being notified that it will no longer work in May this year, I decided to purchase contribute and went through the labourious task of removing all incontext editable regions and replacing them with normal editable regions.
I have launched the site in contribute to test that everything works and it keeps coming up with 'You can't edit this page in Contribute because it has "Adobe InContext Editing" region(s).
This is on almost every page on the site but two which it allows me to edit. I have gone back to the Dreamweaver file and checked through the code, I am certainly no code expertI have compared it to sites which didnt have the InContext applied to it... I am baffled
Can anyone shed any light on the situation?
Much appreciated
Naomi

For anyone that has a similar problem....
I have now sorted the problem - my dreamweaver was not updating the server copy. I used FETCH as a secondary option by dragging and dropping the files. It updated the files and its now working! YAY!
I had to make sure all incontext code was removed at the top of the code there was a line as well as along side each editable region. I even took out the editable regions and replaced them with normal editing regions (not Incontext).

How do I remove "ALL" incontext editing code?

I think I can see the problem! - I have updated the file in dreamweaver but it
is not updating the copy on the server when I upload it...
I can see the code that I have deleted still showing at the top of the page - I just cant get it to refresh!
I will try doing it with fetch.....
Just done it with fetch and it works! - Dreamweaver will not refresh the server copy.

InContext Editing not showing "edit page" button

I made a site for someone using dreamweaver and defined areas as editable regions.
I've used InContext Editing before and found it really easy with no problems until now. When I log in from my computers (varrying between 3 different browsers and 2 different operating systems), it works just fine.
At the top I see exactly this:
There are two rows at the top, and I can click "edit page" and it works perfectly.
When the person I made it for logs in, he see the top row... like this:
Clicking "Edit Site" seems to do nothing for him (well, me neither, but I can just hit edit page)...
I can't check what's going on with his computer because I don't live where he lives, but I had him make sure he had the most recent version of flash, and he does.
Does anyone know of any common problem with this? Does he have too old of a browser? Is he disabling something on his browser that's blocking the second row?
I've googled this pretty thoroughly and can't fine anyone that has had the same problem

Assuming here that you have set up ICE regions on that page...
And that he "accepted" your invitation to do ICE.

Incontext editing :: I accidentally wrote over my clients edits!! OH NO

please help asap, I was trying to add new pages to the incontext editable pages and I accidentally wrote over all his edits that took him days to do. is there a way to get his edits back from his saved publications?

This is one of the biggest drawbacks of InContext Editing. In this case, you have deleted content created by your client. In other cases, a client could add material to the site that totally destroys the design (unless you have been very careful in the permissions you give clients).
However, in one respect it's no different from working in a team. Before making any changes to a page, you need to download the latest version from the website, rather than relying on what you have on your local computer. The danger is that you also risk losing the default version of your beautiful design if you just overwrite your version with the one from the web. Moral: keep a backup.

E R R O R S--InContext Editing

Dear all,
I have used InContext Editing feature and able to edit in one
of my site. (brigadeschools.org)
Unfortunately on my second site when i did the same, I am
getting following error
Error:
You cannot edit or duplicate this page.
Reason: The page doctype is not supported.
Solution: Contact your web developer to correct the problem.
For more details, link
If anyone have solution please post it.
Best regards,
Pandu

I am receiving the same message, but only in Internet
Explorer. I can edit and publish the pages just fine using Firefox.
Unfortunately, my users are all on IE. I get the "You cannot edit
or duplicate this page", "The Page Doctype is not supported". One
of the pages that can be viewed as an example is:
http://www.bsa241.org/troop241_home.html
Two of the regions are the "Announcements", and the message from
the Scoutmaster.
Simple text regions setup for editing, nothing fancy, no
frames or framesets.

Adobe Muse & Business Catalyst "InContext Editing" formatting limitation problem

I created a site in Adobe Muse, and hosting it on Business Catalyst (web marketing account). I want my client to update site using the new "Edit" tab for "InContext Editing.” Made her an administrator and user like myself. I can edit content, but no formatting is allowed. Not even allowing me to add a link. A setting in Muse or BC I need to change? Any help appreciated, thanks.

Hi
Can you replicate the same behavior with any site you have published with Muse or any specific site ?
If you try to add any content , do you face any error ? or what exactly happens ?
Please try to check this with a different page and add a simple text and publish.
If still same issue, it would best to submit a support ticket directly.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Dreamweaver CC and incontext editing. No tools anymore?

Hey,
I've just updated to Dreamweaver CC to find out that the tools for integrating incontext editing tags into a page have been removed. I always found these tools extremly helpful for me as designer as well as I found incontext editing a major selling point for my clients. Actually I was hoping to get more Business Catalyst integration in CC not LESS.
Is there any way to get back these functions as extensions? Or will we get new tools for the new editor (which is still in beta) in a future version of DW CC?
Regards
Tim

InContext editing in DW was a solution unto itself but Adobe stopped supporting it officially as an external plugin and decided it would exist solely on Business Catalyst.
BC's DW integration does not include inserting ICE like they do for modules and other tags in your layouts which is why you can't find any way to do it inside DW.
Furthermore, ICE is undergoing an overhaul and the next Gen version of ICE is still being worked out. I wouldn't use that version yet for clients full on just yet but you can read more about the next gen version of ICE on BC at http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3201
Basically, it's just some markup that you add to your HTML elements in your web page or page template. You can also use the new ICE in BC's Email Campaigns so that your clients can create new HTML email campaigns and edit the content of your email template where you want them to or add/insert new repeating regions that you setup for them.
Here's more about the ICE in the email campaigns: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2862
I don't think you need to worry about including the ICE javascript assets like you used to with the original ICE... if you add the markup to your html or email campaigns it should work out of the box.

Incontext editing disappears after cntrl E and putting login in

unable to edit through incontext editing on a submitted website. It was accessible for about a week and now this week it doesn't. It asks for the adobe logon and the header and footer of the adobe incontext editing screen shows up and then it disappears and then switches back to original site, being unable to edit.
I am in desperate need for help. I have requested help 2 days ago through the help portion of incontext editing but have not heard anything back. Any ideas, any help at all? Thank you.

Hello ohwhyme,
Please post the URL for the site you're having problems with.
Also, what browser, version and OS are you using? Does editing work in a different browser?

Incontext editing and templates

Hi
I´ve been trying to find documentation about the
interaction between ICE and regular Dreamweaver templates without
any success. Is it still possible to edit master templates locally
and change e.g. a menu for a complete site even if some pages has
been edited via the ICE interface online?

Hello Simon,
InContext Editing regions can only be applied (on child
pages) on regions that have been marked as editable in the template
– the .dwt page. On the other hand, only the modifications
that are made in Dreamweaver outside the template regions (in the
master .dwt file) are propagated to all child pages. Thus, when a
change is propagated, it won’t interact in any way with the
sections of the page that were modified by InContext Editing.
So, if the menu you want to change is not in an editable
region (in the template .dwt page), everything should work just
fine. The change will propagate to all pages based on that
template, and modifications made via InContext Editing will remain
intact.
Also, as a general rule of thumb, before modifying the master
template, you should make sure to download/"get" the most recent
version of the site from the server. Additionally, if your client
is updating the site via InContext Editing while you are making
changes locally in Dreamweaver, you will overwrite any changes your
client made when you upload the site again.
Please let me know if this answers your question, or if you
need clarification.
We intend to provide a tutorial on working with Dreamweaver
templates in the near future. I will post an announcement in the
forums when this is available.
Best regards,
Corey

Incontext editing problem with firefox 3.6 and safari

when i try to login to a page with ctrl + e the following message comes up:
"You have Adobe Flash Player version 10,0,2 installed.
Adobe InContext Editing requires Adobe Flash Player version 10,0,12 or higher.
Install Adobe Flash Player"
but i have the latest version ...
in safari i always had that problem, in firefox it worked, but not after i updated to 3.6
it still works with chrome, but anyway ...
anybody a clue?
thanks!

I'm finding that Muse doesn't work well in older browsers, since it uses technology they don't understand. I think if we design sites in Muse, we're assuming that viewers are using newer browsers.

Business Catalyst Help | Defining InContext Editing editable regions using any code editor

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/partner/defining-incontext-editing-editable-regio ns-1.html

This is what I meant by shape.
Normally, I drag out a rectangle with Muse,then set it's background fill so that it can turn in to a object which I can change the states for the button. I published my site with several this kind of links and I want to change it whenever possible in the in broswer editing. However, at first, when go to in browser editing, this object is completely not editable. After I added in the attributes of the Editable Regions,
<div ice:editable="*"></div> I get an full editable functions.
For example in my site, I have a rectangle with an image background to it,with an external link. And after I added the
ice:editable="*" in the div tag,I got to edit my so called "button".
Keep in mind that this had a link to it.
After I click edit, a full control showed up, so I try to select the phot and insert link ,hoping that it could add a link to the photo.
However, after I specifiy the adress, the photo is gone and a text link is left behind. I can still add back in the photo but I just can't make it a linked photo.
And what's eventually left behind isn't the linked photo, but a linked text.
The main question I'm wondering is that if I'm able to change the link of a image through in broswer editing,or the link of a regular shape like a rectangle, so that I can always update the link of the objects through buisness catalyst and when user clicking the photo/shape, they can be brought to an adress.
But it seems like I only can change the link for a text.

Can I run Muse on two computers with one subscription?

I have a Muse subscription on my desktop but occasionally need to acces it with my lap top. Is it possible to use both machines with one subscription?

Alwheaton,
You can use the following links to download the latest version of Adobe Muse on your Laptop/Desktop :
Windows : http://www.adobe.com/go/muse_latest_win
Mac : http://www.adobe.com/go/muse_latest_mac
And when it asks you to use it as trial version or a Subscription, just select Subscription and use your Adobe Id and Password (using which you purchased the subscription) when asked.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Sachin
