Muse, Business Catalyst, and client text editing

Can Muse websites have client text editability if published and hosted with business catalyst?

Talk about making apple pie complicated. I explored the idea of using ICE features within Muse pages. As it turns out, I discovered a lot of things.
1. It could be done.
2. It will get wiped out if you update the page in Muse when the page is republished.
So I tried the following (going around my elbow to get to my rear side.)
1. Created my page (PG 1).
2. Created a second Muse page (PG2). This contained the my ICE DIV and content holder.
3. On PG 1, I did my page layout and then embedded in the center of the page an iFrame html code which pulled through PG 2.
4. Now, when I make updates to the PG 1, the client-allowed section was not effected. To update the PG 2 text using ICE you opened it through BC Insite Editing.
The only drawback is the ICE editable text inside the iFrame must stay inside the iframe's opening dimensions you set (otherwise you have to increase it to fit the content or turn on the scrolling feature.)
5. I wasn't sure, so I uploaded the ICE js folder to my BC hosted site and then linked PG 2 through the header scripts placement.
Tested it and it worked. I was able to use the Edit and the Repeat Section function using the Insite Editor. I did not turn on the "enable online content editing" button as described.
Like I said... complicated apple pie... but it gets the job done. Allows me to update PG without losing my client's edits.

  • Muse, Business catalyst and email forms

    Dear users,
    I'd have a request about business catalyst and email forms.
    I made a simple web site for a test by Adobe Muse. In the contatc area I add an email form of Muse which requirs business catalyst. I subscibe a trial period with catalyst, tested it in its host and it was ok. Now I'm going to create a new site which is going to be published in a personal wed address (www.domainname.com) Is it enought to pay for a basic subscription of business catalyst, or do I need additional stuffs? Please consider that the site will be hosted in a different web space than catalyst
    I thank you in advacne for your kind collaboration
    Best regards
    Fabrizio Zambelli

    Thank you for your kind reply. Unlucky there are 2 problems with my explanition: I'm not so confidential with wed hosting stuffs and english!!!!!
    I have a domain (www.example.com) which is hosted and registred in Italy by a service like Godaddy.
    I downloaded the web site which I created with Muse on that domain and it works. I made a page which uses the email form widget from Muse and obviously, it says to me that BC is required to work. Basicaly I'm looking for a suggestion on how to get it working. Thanks agains expecially for your patience!!!!!!!!   Fab

  • 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.

  • Business Catalyst and external ftp hosts

    Hi i have created a web site using Muse and external web host i.e.. Heart Internet. My client is wanting to be able to update photos in the gallery himself. I know using Business Catalys and in- browser editing that this is possible. My question is can i register an external host ftp into BC or does BC have to create a host for the site??

    You can not host BC anywhere else other then the Adobe BC setup it has, it has its own hosting - ITs a SAAS (Software as as a solution) hosted platform. It has SFTP access if that is what your referring too?

  • Problem with Adobe Muse & Business Catalyst publishing

    I am unable to publish my site on Adobe Business Catalyst via Muse.  The error in Muse is "Unknown Error" in the dialogue box "Upgrade to Adobe ID".  I have already tried deactivating and reactivating Muse. 
    I have also tried signing into Business Catalyst directly and get the error message "This Adobe ID email address is already registered with Business Catalyst and cannot be merged with a different Business Catalyst account".
    I don't have any issue signing into Adobe Creative Cloud. 
    I have contacted Adobe twice about this with no response whatsoever and urgently need to publish updates to my site.
    I am using Mac OSX 10.8.

    Hi Sacha
    I have never, ever - not once - uploaded anything to Business Catalyst. The ID I attempt to use is my Adobe ID, which I provided in my last tech support e-mail to Business Catalyst.
    I have made changes to my Adobe ID, yes. Until about a week ago, it was __________. I then changed it to __________. I also changed the password associated with the ID when your colleague (or someone with Business Catalyst via e-mail) asked me to provide it as I both wanted to comply with the request but have some security as I was having to e-mail it. I hope that seems reasonable.
    If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
    Thanks,
    David
    P.S. I had no idea this would be made public as I replied via e-mail. For that reason, I have edited this message and removed my IDs.

  • Muse + Business Catalyst, viable now?

    So now that Adobe Muse can become a full fledged CMS with integration with Business Catalyst (as seen here), along with easy to add paralax scrolling and other new advancements; do you think it has graduated to the realm of professional web development for the code-illiterate designers out there?
    The reason I ask is I have been using Photoshop and Illustrator for years, but just started learning code over the last year. My current abilities allow me to code up a very basic website in HTML and CSS, but I dont yet know Javascript/jQuery and PHP and other scripting languages look like alien writting to me at this point. I am slowly learning, but for someone like me, Muse + Business Catalyst seems to be a great way to delve into web design while still learning how to code by hand on the side.
    I know the code muse generates will never be as perfect as hand-coded websites (it is probably better then my hand-coded websites at this point in learning), but it seems to pass w3 validation, and seems work on most browsers.
    What are your opinions on it? Should people like me use it if it gets us into web development sooner (while still learning code on the side)?
    Any and all opinions are wanted, but please keep it civil.

    Muse is certainly OK for quick mockups, hobbyist and small personal web sites.  But I would be embarrassed to use it on a professional site.  
    My gosh, the code is awful to work with.  Expect to  use MU for the life of the site.
    What will you do if the client comes back later and says "I need more advanced features."  And then you learn that what the client wants isn't possible in MU because of its limited capabilities.  What will you do then?
    Or what if something breaks and you don't understand the underlying code well enough to fix it?   Who will you turn to?
    My advice is stay away from MU.  Don't sell your services until you've learned all you can about code and you fully understand what you're doing & how to fix things when they break.   I think that's the very least you owe your clients.

  • Business Catalyst and Adobe CC

    Hi
    Like you said, it was provided by university, I assume you have Teachers editions of Creative Cloud, which does not includes free websites.

  • Muse Business Catalyst Integration

    One thing I'd really like to see is a tighter Muse/Business Catalyst integration. I've been able to sell clients on the prospect of using Business Catalyst (and/or price it into my SOW), but it's still quite the chore to manually locate all of your styles using Firebug, then go back in and rewrite them all in the module stylesheet CSS.
    I'd be nice to see all of the BC modules either automatically inherit styles from the main Muse stylesheets, or it'd be nicer to see Business Catalyst widgets (a la the Dreamweaver interface) be built into Muse.
    Also, I'm a beta tester who would be pleased as punch to test these features.

    What I'd love to see is another widget panel, designed for Business Catalyst, that would let you pop in the different elements of BC.
    I was thinking along the same lines—the Muse team needs to add the BC features in as widgets. Your idea of a seperate panel is even better!
    I haven't signed up for BC because I've found the interface clunky and awkward and even if you might not have to know a lot of code, you need to know some which takes it right back out of the comfort zone of the very people Muse is targeting. Make a BC panel where I can do all of the BC stuff without actually having to go to the back end and I'll gladly hand over my cash.
    Just yesterday I went to play around with a form I made in Muse but wanted to add drop downs and radio buttons to. Went to BC, never understood how to get the new elements integrated with the existing form and back onto the page with the original formatting applied, made a hash of it and logged out.
    At a minimum please put those other form elements into Muse (there in InDesign now, why not Muse?) but I'd really like to be able to take full advantage of a premium BC account right through Muse. Maybe it can be a panel set that you get when you sign up for a paid BC account?

  • How do i install business catalyst and typekit with creative cloud if they don't show up?

    I just recently signed up for creative cloud and learned about muse.  I would like to take advantage of the business catalyst and typekit, but when i open my application manager, neither are available for download.  Am I missing something here?  are they built into the other program downloads?  I'm confused–please help.

    Am I missing something here?
    Yes, you are. They are merely services built into Dreamweaver, Edge and Muse and accessible via the respective BC and CSS panels in those programs.

  • Business Catalyst and Creative Cloud: double-payment

    Last March (2012)  I subscribed to the most basic level of business catalyst ($97.00 per year) to publish my website.
    At that point I didn't know that Creative Cloud would include a basic subscription to Business Catalyst.
    In May (2012) I subscribed to the Creative Cloud which included this basic Business Catalyst.
    Now (in March 2013) Adobe has written to me for $97.00 again to pay for Business Catalyst and they have sent me an email saying they will discontinue service in 7 days.
    How do I discontinue the $97.00 Business Catalyst account and transfer hosting to my Creative Cloud account?
    Last time I tried to do something like this, it was hours and hours and hours to resolve it.
    Am I better simply paying $97.00 for Business Catalyst even though it is included in Creative Cloud simply because I will have uninterrupted service?
    If there is a chance that I could reconcile this without undue pain and struggle, could someone tell me how?
    And whether it is indeed possible?
    I have a very small but well-established business using Muse. I really can't afford the interruption nor hours and hours of fighting to resolve this.
    I would appreciate any help.

    Hey GARRogers,
    If you have any sites that have been redeemed as Creative Cloud sites, we cannot change the billing for these sites and once your Creative Cloud subscription expires, so will the site. However, sites that are being billed directly by Business Catalyst are separate to Creative Cloud. So if your Creative Cloud subscription expires, the sites being billed directly by Business Catalyst will remain unaffected.
    If you have any sites that have been redeemed as a free Creative Cloud site, I recommend creating a new trial site via your Partner Portal (http://www.businesscatalyst.com/Admin/Index.aspx?to=PartnerPortal), and either republish your site from Muse to this new trial site or if you did not use Muse, migrate the data over as per this article: http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/203/bc_2038.html.
    Once you have done this, take the site live via your Partner Portal > [select site] > Upgrade and if applicable, remove the domain from your previous site and re-add it to this new site.
    Feel free to PM me directly if you would like me to look at the billing for any of your sites.

  • Business Catalyst and Social Media Updating

    I'm new to Business Catalyst and aside from link integration between BC hosted websites and Facebook, etc, is there an application that would allow automated post updates to the primary social media pages, similar to functionality that third-party email marketing service providers are offering. If not yet available, can anyone recommend an add-on service that might expand the social media reach. This seems to come up in every client consultation.

    Complain to the Attorney General about what? There is nothing in your story worth any such complaint. They will tell you the same.
    First you have payment difficulty so credit and the Edge program are not available to you. You have to be credit worthy to get any upgrade, unless you can pay full price for all those new devices.
    Can you?
    You are trying to get new contract plans, but since you are having paying on time and in full issues you will not get extended credit from any carrier.
    What I would do is go and port out to Boost or Virgin Mobile where you pay a reduced cost for each device and get unlimited everything for $40 to $50 a month, it is pre pay so if you don't pay you get cut off.
    Verizon although with the best coverage is also the highest priced.
    Good Luck

  • Help: Using Adobe Muse & Business Catalyst with Google Domains: URL not mapping

    Hi,
    I've had some issues publishing my site to the internet using Adobe Muse (version CC 2014) and publishing to Adobe Business Catalyst.
    I am currently using Google Domains to host my domain name (www.mattandsangeeta.com) and have tried on multiple occasions to get the domain name to correctly map  using Adobe's Business Catalyst nameservers.
    I've verified with Google Domains that their process is setup correctly to map to my site, so it indicates the issue is on how I've configured my Adobe Muse/Business Catalyst side of things.
    So far, every attempt at publishing the site via Adobe Muse has worked with its extension at http://mattandsangeeta.businesscatalyst.com/index.html, and I'm able to login into my Admin page from Adobe Muse immediately following publishing. However, when I try to login directly to the Adobe Business Catalyst page, it takes me to an admin link for www.mattandsangeeta.com that is broken.
    To summarize: My published domain isn't being mapped correctly and I hit a dead end every time I try to login into the Business Catalyst website.
    Thanks for your feedback and support in advance,
    Matt

    Hi
    As I checked the site loads fine with domain Matt And Sangeeta . I tried to get to site manage area using Administration Login  and I see it works fine as well. I would suggest you to please try clearing browser cache and cookies and check if that helps.

  • Business System and Client

    Hi
    I checked many treads and still I couldn't get a satisfactory explanation to the difference between Business System and Client. I read in help.sap site that multiple business systems can be assigned to a single technical system and also each numbered client of an SAP system is a Unique Business System ? So are client and business system one ? If so why use it interchangably ? And if many business systems can be assigned to the technical system how do we specify a related Integration Server ? As I understand only one Business System can be assigned Integration server. So if we assign many business systems to one technical system then how can we have related Integration server for all ? I couldn't get a satisfactory explanation to this doubt in any thread in this forum
    Midhun

    >>each numbered client of an SAP system is a Unique Business System ?
    It could be. But it is not necessary that each client of SAP system is communicating with PI. If it is then there will be one Business System for each client.
    >> So are client and business system one ?
    No. Client is more substantial category in SAP system. Business system just defines the logical name to these clients if they communicate with PI.
    >> If so why use it interchangably ?
    Actually they can't be used interchangably always. The only relation is that for each client of SAP system, there could be only one Business system.
    >>And if many business systems can be assigned to the technical system how do we specify a related Integration Server ?
    For related Integration Server name, you need to select the PI Business system name which would communicate with your business system. For a single SLD scenario you will see PI Dev, Q and Prod business systems.
    >> As I understand only one Business System can be assigned Integration server.
    Correct. Its a PI Business system.
    >> So if we assign many business systems to one technical system then how can we have related Integration server for all ?
    For all Business systems of 1 technical system, you need to select the same PI Business system name.

  • Business Catalyst and HTML5

    Is there any known issues using HTML5 with business catalyst in late 2013? I have seen posts a year or more ago saying it had issues with HTML5 Boilerplate. I am just starting with Business Catalyst and would like to start developing for it. I am just trying to figure out if I need to stay with xhtml and div's instead of the nice new HTML5 shineyness...
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated

    The index.html page for the site is at www.ariesplumbinginc.com/index.html
    Even though the code in Dreamweaver shows that it is just starting off with the <html> tag at the top, and it also shows this in the admin editor, BC is publishing the page with the following:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
       <!-- BC_OBNW -->
    BC has converted the <html> tag into the above. I made some other changes to the page that need to be tweaked to validate for HTML5, but I did not change the entire document type. BC did that on it's own.
    Any insight would be greatly appreciated. If you have a link to one of your own issue free HTML5 projects, that would be good too. I opened a ticket for it with BC help and they said it was confirmed as a bug in the system, but didn't give any time estimates for when it would be fixed. If you are able to use HTML5 without issue, maybe you know something BC support does not?
    Thanks
