Muse CC confusion

I ran Muse today, and was informed that there is a new version. But as a CC member, Adobe Application Manager says it's "up to date."
What's going on? -- Thanks

My Muse version is v6.0, Build 751, CL776980
But my real question was about why CC Application Manager didn't have the August Muae update ... it's become a moot point, now that Muse updated itself independently of App Mgr, but it seems that the Muse project isn't quite as in touch with the CC effort as it might be ...
Cheers

BC: Forms ... confusing

1) I am using the standard form widget via drag and drop.
2) I customise the standard form in Muse to suit my needs
3) I log in to BC to edit the form properties
--->
I see form properties under BC and form fields which are marked as required
but I have absolutely no idea how to add them in Muse (frontend).
e.g.
BC Site Manager > Web Forms >
Title (select box)
? How do I add a select box in Muse and why is it not included in the Widget?
I mean, I drag something via drag & drop (frontend) and in the backend I see
something entirely different.
---> confusing
BC Site Manager > Web Forms >
Name (First name Last Name)
The standard form widget via drag & drop only contains Name
So, how to I add First Name and a second field for Last Name in
the frontend in Adobe Muse?
---> confusing
THANK you!

If I add a form in Muse via drag&drop from the widgets library and I upload the site to BC. The form will be automatically added to the backend under BC.
Therefore, I can edit the form in BC without the need to add it manually.
Correct?
01. IF ...
02. yes ...
03. then ...
04. please make the editing features under BC so that they correspond with the functionalities in the frontend and/or vice versa.
The backend indicates (without doing or adding anything manually), I have three entries which are marked as required
- Title
- First Name
- Last Name
The frontend indicates
- Name (enter your name)

Produces separate style sheets for each page;
Does not allow freedom in the organization of css and javascript documents;
A change to a page generates upload several other;
Desktop's muse and bad;
The muse has shortcut to zoom?
Does not support properly vectors;
Creates images when using internal shadows on divs;
Does not optimize the pages with php, separating the site in header.php parts, menu.php, footer.php among others. With php use would be entirely possible to change a menu on the master page without having to upload all page again;
Not compact html, css and javascript;
Does not allow cache configuration in .htaccess;
Do not load Java script asynchronously;
Style classes in muse and weak and with few options;

Very weak form without obvious functions necessary for better interaction with the end user;
Seo bad, lack a native seo test tool in muse.
The muse creates different layouts for each device, this way of working and not the reality of the current Internet, today we need to make fluid layouts can not get locked into pixes because every new day and new devices with size and resolution are launched web and infinite in your document display size is not equal to a role with specific measures and margins for each document.

Adobe edge animation button not working in muse

Ok so I went and created a button in adobe Edge that when clicked scrolls your browser to the top of the page since I couldn't create what I was looking to do in muse( I can create anchors to bring me to the top of the page but I dont like that i have to relink the button for each page and that clicking on the button acts as a page change so when you click the back button it brings you back down to the bottom of the page vs the previouse page). Anyways the button works perfectly fine when previewing it in adobe Edge but when I bring it into Muse and try to use it the function to bring you to the top of the page stops working, the mouse states still work though so it doesn't seem to be completly broken. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong or what I can do to fix this?

I just tried to host it to a temp businesscatalyst site and the .oam file isn't even showing up on the temorary page. Getting more and more confused.

Adobe Muse CC (2014) - Installation Fails, then Finishes, but no application.

I'm having trouble installing Muse. the installer gets to 84% and fails.
I've uninstalled, repaired permissions, booted from repair partition and repaired, zapped PRAM and then tried them all again twice, but it still doesn't install.
Here's the error that I get:
Clicking the link only takes me to a blank Summery.htm
I've seen this thread but it didn't fix anything: Update Muse CC failed, I tried again but it didn't work. All other 6 updates succeeded. Message was: installation failur…
And I've tried everything on this page multiple times: Creative Cloud Help | Install, update, or uninstall apps
After clicking on "Retry" multiple times, it eventually installs, but the application is not in my Application folder and is nowhere to be found. I quit the Creative cloud app and relaunch it after a "Successful Install'" but the application isn't installed and the CC app shows that I need to upgrade it.
Muse CC shows up as installed even though I uninstalled it.
I've updated it several times, but it still will either fail, or finish and not actually install anything.
** UPDATE **
Tried installing on another computer. while the install said it failed, the application appeared in the application folder and it worked. It failed at 84-85% and apparently the uninstaller wasn't installed. I copied the Muse CC 2014 folder to my machine, restarted the creative cloud app and everything works. no idea why the CC app fail to install Muse, but the act of uninstalling it the first time removed my ability to reinstall Muse. It's working now but was a pain.

Same thing here. Will have to work with ver. 7.4 until you guys figure out what the issue is. Please let me know how to resolve.
This update installation process is completely different from previous ones where updates would install within Muse application; this update takes you to Adobe application website - offers "Download" of Muse 2014. This is confusing to me...does this mean download a completely new Muse or install an update? Clicking download offers me all CC applications "Try, try, try" etc. or, for Muse to "Install". Clicking install eventually brought me to OP's issue above.
Please help...

Business Catalyst is more than Muse

Just in case anyone feels worried about BC when they watch or are watching the Creative Cloud Live event...
Adobe event, they have their software, one is Muse which works with BC. They are covering A LOT of products in a relative short time, this is just a launch event, get people excited and show up the basics stuff.
So do not think BC is just being Muse, It wont.

Hi Liam,
I just saw in a related adobe forum this Adobe employee response about Muse and using BC as a CMS system:
1. Apr 23, 2012 12:01 PM (in response to Wild Bucky)
Correct AnswerRe: A New Muse User
Hi Wild Bucky,
Login capabilities or user specific private content as part of a Content Management System are not features currently available in Muse. CMS features will not be part of the Muse 1.0 release. We intend to add CMS features to Muse in the future that will work with Adobe's Business Catalyst platform. Business Catalyst already has CMS features (see http://www.businesscatalyst.com/product-tour/overview for more info), but Muse isn't yet able to take advantage of them natively.
Best regards,
Corey
I believe I also saw another post talking about adding eCommerce functionality to Muse.
I was wondering your take on this. It concerns me as it dilutes my message that as a BC Partner I can provide more robust functionality than product like that. I'm surprise to hear that the road map may include allowing Muse to natively create deep functionality and confusion that will happen trying to explain to a client why a Partner BC site would be more appropriate than a Muse site.
Your thoughts?

Need a fix for Muse upload problems to GoDaddy???? I found one!

GoDaddy now has a new cpanel named "Plesk". In that panel you will find File Manager. (I use the Windows version). In the left panel of File Manager, you will see the root directory and all of its subfolders. When you click on any of these folders, you will see their contents in the right panel. You will also see a folder labelled "httpdocs". This is the default folder that is set up in GoDaddy to be your "home" folder. So, to fix your upload problems, do these steps:
1. Click on the httpdocs folder to see it open in the right panel. In the toolbar above the right panel, you will see a green plus sign with the word "New". Click on this drop-down menu.
2. Choose "directory"
3. Type in the name of one of the folders that your site will need, e.g. images, css, assets, scripts, etc. This basically creates a subfolder within the httpdocs folder, right? (There is a way to see how your Muse site sets up these folders prior to publish or upload. You do this by choosing "Export as HTML" in the File menu of Muse, creating a folder on your desktop (or wherever) for the HTML export, then inspecting its contents after your save it.)
4. Continue to create all the subfolders within httpdocs that you will need. Unfortunately, you have to do this one folder at a time.
5. After you have them set up, begin the process of uploading your site, like this:
6. In the File menu in Muse, you'll of course see "Upload to FTP Host ...". Click on it.
7. A dialog box will open. In the top text field, type in your website name ... you must use www. with your entry
8. In the "FTP Host" field, type in your domain name again like this ... "ftp.yourdomain.com" ... NO FORWARD SLASHES!!! (even if you find instructions to the contrary, like in Filezilla) (Also, your domain might be a .org or .net, instead of a .com)
9. In the "Host directory" field, YOU MUST ENTER "httpdocs"!!!! Despite what you learn, DO NOT LEAVE THIS FIELD BLANK!!!
10. Then enter your GoDaddy username and password. (If you set up a different username for your GoDaddy account and your Plesk account, like I did, then use your Plesk username and password.)
11. Click on "Upload: All Files"
The next few steps are tedious, but necessary to keep your site organized on GoDaddy and to keep from confusing things. You can probably get away with it, but, if your site doesn't load properly in a browser after doing the above steps, you'll need to click on each folder in the root directory that you copied as a subfolder in the "httpdocs" folder and delete the files. For example, in the left panel of File Manager, you'll see the root directory. Click on the "images" folder. If there are any images that you need for your site in that folder, delete them. Remember ... you've already copied them over to the images subfolder in httpdocs during your last upload described in the instructions above. If you don't trust that you can delete them, click on the "httpdocs" folder, then click on the "images" folder and check the files. Same files, right? So, go ahead and delete the site files that you find in the appropriate folders in the root directory, making sure that you don't delete the ones that are NOT duplicated within the "httpdocs" folder. Also remember that your .html pages will not require a subfolder to be set up in the "httpsdocs" folder. They can just sit there, looking pretty. But you will have to delete them from the root directory to keep things tidy. Just click on the folder icon next to "root directory", and you'll see those html pages in the right panel. Again, delete them.
REMEMBER: To keep your Muse uploads to your GoDaddy site error free, you must ALWAYS make sure that "httpdocs" appears in the "Host directory" field in the "Upload to FTP Host ..." dialog box in Muse. And all files and folders that your site needs MUST go in the "httpdocs" folder in the root directory of your site in GoDaddy's File Manager (now found in your Plesk Panel).
I hope this wasn't too confusing. If so, call GoDaddy. I called them with this fix and they are using it in their phone support.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I was going out of my mind. And GoDaddy was no help (although they're usually really good.) I put all the folders in "httpdocs" and the website worked perfectly!

Hi, I'd like to add some typekit fonts to my Muse site but- ?

I know this website:
How to add Typekit fonts to your Muse site
from Muse Insider,
but it totally doesn't work for me, I tried a lot of times and I don't know what I'm doing wrong (I know that I have to publish the site first to see the added font but it still doesn't work ) I'm really confused, please help! (the fonts I want to add is Brandon Grotesque, Activ Grotesque).
Looking forward to hearing from you soon...
thanks,
Karolina

I was pretty disappointed to find out Muse didn't support the full Typekit library when Typekit became available to Creative Cloud members. It's clearly one of the biggest drawbacks in a Muse vs. Dreamweaver comparison. There are hacks available to incorporate Typekit fonts into Muse, but the "how to" procedures are not very user friendly. Muse Themes has a Full Typekit widget, but even it's not all that easy to use. They have a nearly 9 minute long video on their website describing the procedure.
Adobe Muse Full Typekit Library Widget | MuseThemes.com
Additionally, I was pretty disappointed by the number of typefaces in Typekit that were web only (such as Brandon Grotesk) or had only one or two of several font weight available for the desktop/print version (such as Trajan Pro and Trajan Sans Pro).
As a consequence, I haven't messed with Typekit very much and honestly don't find a lot of value with it -at least not much of the access being blocked. So I'm still looking out for new fonts at bargain introductory pricing at sites like MyFonts or keeping an eye at some free sites like Font Squirrel.
Incidentally, the "Edge" fonts in Muse pale in comparison just with what's available for free at Font Squirrel. Within Muse you'll get a pretty limited number of weight/style choices with the Edge fonts. At Font Squirrel some of those same fonts have many more styles/weights available to them.
In the end, it's just a whole lot faster and easier to either buy or legally acquire web fonts either through pay sites like MyFonts or free sites like Font Squirrel and end up with the system and web fonts you can use on your computer in Muse without any crazy code hacks.

Changeing a site from Muse to Dreamweaver in business catalyst

HI guys, I have used various forums in the past to answer many questions about web design but never have I actualy asked a queastion - I really hope someone can help me please! (I can't seem to find a simple answer anywhere!)...
So here goes...
Being new to web design I created my very first site in Adobe Muse. My reasons for this were coming from a graphics/ print bacground the transition between the programs were really easy. I created my muse site quickly and uploaded it to business catalyst (incredibly easily) under the domain www.keep21.co.uk.
However as I progressed in learning more about web I decided to try and move away from Muse because I wanted to have more control of the code. For this reason I started to learn Dreamweaver. Being a person who never does anything by half I decided I would start from the basics and firstly learn HTML and CSS before I looked into the program. Having gotten my head around that I created a root directory and began to re-create the site I had built in Muse by hand-coding it into Dreamweaver. I made a few changed a long the way to simplify the design and I am now happy enough to take this site live (replacing the muse site I'd already created). HOWEVER.......... I have noooooo idea how to do this and have become very confused.
Can anyone please explain how to do this please? So to re-iterate I am looking to replace the files I have on business catalyst for the site 'keep' with my new dreamweaver site.
When I started the site I created a root directory and have four basic pages within the folder (index.html, about.html,pricing.htm and contact.html) I a lso have images, templates and CSS ready to go.
Any ideas?
Kind regards
Hannah

Hi INTW,
While in Dreamweaver, Go to Site>>Manage Sites... >>Import Business Catalyst Site
Login if prompted and then select the site from the list and choose your current root folder
A connection will be automatically setup.
If you left the download entire site checked, the current remote site folders and files will be downloaded to your root.
All you have to do is upload your new files then go to your admin and set the 'site's start page'.
That's all there is to it.
PS, id suggest you 301 redirect the old pages instead of deleting them.

I am looking at online tutorials about parallax scrolling websites but I have a fully updated version via Adobe Cloud. I'm on Windows 8.1 but my Muse doesn't have the 'fill/scroll' menu. Why? Is it only a Mac option?

I want to create and offer a scrolling website for a restaurant client but I am confused by online tutorials that show a drop down menu with either fill or scroll. I have checked for updates but I am fully up to date. Does anyone know why I cannot access this scrolling menu please?

Hi Vivek,
Thank you for your kind advice which I greatly appreciate. However, I think I have solved most of my problems by signing up with Train Simple on a $9 per month technical learning course. Within a few minutes I was able to locate the fill - scroll menu by simply clicking on the actual text of fill - which for some reason I didn't know about!. I stayed with the Muse fundamental course all day today and covered everything to do in Muse in great detail. I am now looking forward to the single page website learning experience with scrolling!

Adobe Muse CC 2014 - Sizing/Layout for Mobile Devices

I have designed previous sites with Adobe Muse and have never had any issues designing or sizing for any of the three devices whether desktop, tablet, or phone versions. However, due to the most recent updates I decided to design a site through Adobe Muse CC 2014 (www.movemoreheadforward). I went ahead and designed tablet and phone versions of the desktop site as well but unfortunately I ran into the problem below.
The first image is what the phone site comes up as and the second image is what I would like it to look like. I didn't touch the page width so I'm confused as to why the site comes up so small. Would this have anything to do with the new 100% page width option?
The same goes for the tablet version however I do not have images to give as an example at this time. Does anyone know why this issue may be happening and how to go about fixing it? Thanks!

You have an object to the right of your page. (blue block), that's what's making your page smaller.

How do I source an image with HTML in Adobe Muse?

Hello, I am wanting a horizontal slideshow for images and I got the code to work nicely in my muse website and all I need to do now if populate it with images. I have looked into the syntax for placing an image and I am not too sure how to handle the sourcing (as I've never done code before). It's to go something like this:
<img src="url" alt="some_text">
I have the images to place in the slideshow sized, cropped, and ready to go in, but I do not know how the input the syntax to "source" my images - they are just sitting in a folder in "my pictures" on my desktop. My workplace has a server where we all can access the same files...will that help? I've seen where people reference images in their code simply by typing the web address of their website with the image name at the end....which confuses me! -> how do I upload an image to my Muse website without it being seen and then reference it in a slideshow? That process doesn't seem to make sense. I'm lost! Help please!

Here are a couple o links that will help in your quest and will answer 95% of your questions.
http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_images.asp
http://www.htmlgoodies.com/primers/html/article.php/3478181/Basic-HTML-Images.htm
http://www.adobe.com/products/business-catalyst/faq.html
http://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp
http://jquery.com/
The other 5% is how well will Muse play with all that. To that I cannot answer fully because I haven't tested every scenario. Again, the inherent nature of Muse is "designed" to stray away from custom coding. Also in your previous post it is a little unclear as to your where all your Muse folders/files are residing. IE: on your companies server or on BC or a bit of both. I know ultimately all your trying to do is point to something. Seems simple enough right? And there may in your developement come a time when you need the more advanced CMS features, which is why BC seems logical.
What you find along the way is that it can get more involved then you anticipated. Certainly if you can make it work then go for it. The problem is at times, while things can seem simple in theory, without sufficient practice employing those theories (the coding/the syntax) then any # of errors can happen leaving you scratching your head and cursing why you bothered in the first place. Another option is to rethink your strategy. Is it really all that important to have the uber cool linear continuous scrolling effect? Will this define my site? Can I implore some imagination and thinking and make it easier on myself by using the tool at hand (Muse) to it's max to achieve the end goal?
Just some food for thought but as previously stated if you can make it work then go for it. And if the mods or other users can be of more help than I, then that would be great as well!
Happy Holidays, good luck, and please report your findings :-)
Edit - With so much going on myself, I forgot to mention that (when you have all your i's dotted and t's cossed) you could try inserting the script into the html for head feature via the metadata tab in your page properties.

I want to add video to my muse web site using a lightbox

This is where the call center directed me. I do not understand the web language please forgive my miss use of words or language. I am a novice.
So here is what has happened so far..
Adobe will not help me over the phone =( because
First time Adobe does not support templates... So I started over.
Second time Adobe does not support customization code (Not that I know how do to this either =) So I started over again.
Now I'm on try 3
I have a new Muse file without a template and made 100% in muse except for the Photoshop files.
I want to add video to my muse web site using a lightbox WITHOUT uploading to youtube or vimeo. I can not post videos there because I do not want YouTube or Vimeo to take away the copyright when it is my clients and or mine.
I would like to have the videos hosted or embedded on my server. The person on the phone said something about iFrames ????
I would like to do it in a way so If I have to call adobe again it will be supported.
I'm really confused..Please, Thank You,
Anthony

Why does Muse upload many pages when I only have Modified Files option selected?

In Muse, when I use the "Upload to FTP Host" option (my preferred update method), Muse will load 37 pages (I have almost 70) even though I have made no changes whatsoever.
I have read and implemented options suggested on this forum including this:

Hi Ellen,
It looks like your muse_manifest.xml file is corrupt. Please login to your BC site's admin, go to Site Manager > File manager and delete the muse_manifest.xml file. Publish the site again from Muse and select to publish all the files. Next time when you will publish the modified files only, it will work.
Cheers!
Aish
I deleted the muse_manifest.xml file and selected the Upload to FTP Host option selecting the option "All Files". Afterward there was no change.
This is what happens:
I edit pages and select the Upload to FTP Host option. I have "Only Modified Pages" selected. I have made changes to three or four pages. Muse uploads 37 pages. I made no changes to a master page. The update said it was successful. I click OK. I go to my site and pages are loaded properly.
The very next thing I do is try another update and it loads 37 pages, although I have made absolutely zero changes. Not to a master, not to any page. The last thing I clicked in Muse was OK when it said the update was successful. I do it again after changing nothing and 37 pages load. It is not loading every page. Just 37 (sometimes less, sometimes more).
I do not have any alerts showing on my assets panel that Muse might be confused by.
My Muse file is 55.4 MB (sizable, but nowhere near what others are dealing with.)
Can you help me?

Okay, I emailed the link to my dropbox awhile back but continued to work on the problem on my own as I did not hear back. Maybe you never saw the email, who knows?
Anyhow, I discovered that it was custom buttons that I had created in Photoshop, with layers. They worked just fine in Muse in all four states, they worked just fine when published. They were added to my library but on every page that they were placed, that page loaded every time. I checked and rechecked the links. I added them to the library for each page they were on. No dice. They still required that page be loaded every time
It was definitely not worth the hassle so I deleted every one from my site and the site loads only modified pages perfectly now.
Maybe some day I will dig deeper into why they did not work but not today.
I hope that this helps someone.
