Using contact form created in DW with Business Catalyst (was: form submit)

Hi.
I hope some one can help. My son has built a contact form which he wants the contents to be sent to his email address when they submit it. His site is built using Dreamweaver and is hosted on BC, he has not used BC modules to build the site it was solely built in Dreamweaver CC and uploaded to BC. Can any one tell us what code we should be using for the form to be sent to his email as we are not sure what BC will accept.
Thanks, James.

Hi Alex,I have found some php that hopefully will help it along, I will be trying it later.
You need to find out if BC allows php processed forms to be hosted. Questions about form processing have come up before on the forum and I seem to remember that BC has its own way of processing forms, although I could be wrong.
If you need help with setting up a php script to process the form then there are plenty of people on the forum that could give you some guidance and assistance.

Help with Business Catalyst Web forms and Adobe Muse.

I created a websform to log into a secure zone using business catalyst. I pasted the webform's html into Adobe Muse. After publishing my site. The websform I created in business catalyst is deleted, but I can see all of the forms that I created using Muse in the webform section. Is there a fix for this problem? Thanks
This is the page with the forms. http://www.highestgoodclothing.com/login.html

There is a workaround. It takes a little more work, but it is definitely worth it and will solve your problem. I subscribed and learned from tutorials on the www(.)trainsimple(.)com. They have a video series called "Muse CC Business Catalyst Integration" which was very helpful. The issue that everyone on here is referring to is covered in the 3 videos labelled, "Email Sign Up Checkbox", "Moving Muse Webforms to Business Catalyst" and "Email Marketing".
Essentially, what you want to do is create a form in Business Catalyst, turn that form into a module, assign a tag to that module, then put the tag into Muse using Object > Insert HTML. This will solve Muse deleting the web forms everytime.

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.

How do I link my Creative Cloud account with Business Catalyst Web Hosting service?

Hello,
I'm having difficulty understanding how to access the Business Catalyst service. I have attempted to log in directly to businesscatalyst.com/admin but continue to receive an error login message stating that my username and password are not recognized. I was not able to create a new business catalyst website via Dreamweaver either, despite having successfully logged into my Adobe Cloud account.
The only way I was able to set-up a website for use with Business Catalyst was by logging in via http://www.adobe.com/products/business-catalyst.html, and pressing the "try now" button, which allowed me to create a demo site. This also allowed me to log into BC, but when I attempted to upgrade the site from a trial to the webbasic service, I am asked for a payment method.
I understand that the creative cloud service includes basic web hosting for up to 5 sites and should work seamlessly with DW or Muse, or using the InContext editing options provided via browser, but I am unable to truly access any of this content. Am I doing something wrong here?
Thank you

Please approach our support and supply them with your Adobe ID and the site URL you want to take live and they will do this for you in couple of minutes.
Cheers,

I have created a Muse site for a client that wishes to host with Business Catalyst. How do I publish the site with their account rather than using one of my free sites?

I have created a Muse site for a client that wishes to host with Business Catalyst. How do I publish the site with their account rather than using one of my free sites? This is so I can keep my free ones for personal projects but also so they can pay for their own hosting. I am happy to set it all up for them but not sure what to do.

Hi
You can use their BC login details and use them , which on publish the site will be under their account.
Please change the BC login from Edit > Preferences > Publish > Switch Accounts , for Mac it would Adobe Muse > Preferences

Trouble with Business Catalyst FORM in Muse

I created a contact form at Business Catalyst, added it there to a published web page, copied the HTML, and inserted the HTML in Muse.
I placed the HTML on its own layer, and positioned it on the contact page, then edited it for style. This is what it looks like in Muse (image is cropped):
It looks identical when you Preview the page in Muse.
However, when I publish the site, the form is no longer on the top layer (but underneath the menu -a master page item- which in Muse is on a lower layer than the form); the form itself is positioned at 0,0 on the page, OUTSIDE the page boundary as specified in Muse, and all other page elements (except the master page items) are moved below the form vertically, but not together as designed in Muse: most (but not all) of them are stacked vertically at the bottom of the page.
In other words, the entire page layout is destroyed.
Here is what the published page looks like (image is cropped - upper-left corner is shown):
I cannot share the URL due to NDA, but I am allowed to share it privately with support staff.
Thanks for any help.

Hi Tom!
BC Gurus has free tutorials about Secure Zone, below are the links.
But these tutorials don´t show how to integrate these features into Muse.
I am sure that Chris Kellett (MuseGrid) or Steve Harris (Muse Themes) know how to do that but I don´t know how much they are charging for instructions.
Best Regards
TaikaJim

Using BAPI_PO_CREATE to create a PO with reference to another PO.

Hi, I am using BAPI_PO_CREATE to create a PO with reference to another PO, in the po_header_add_data, I have done this: po_head_add-our_ref = p_ebeln.
             CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_PO_CREATE'
                   EXPORTING
                        po_header             = po_head
                        po_header_add_data    = po_head_add
                        skip_items_with_error = ''
                   IMPORTING
                        purchaseorder         = po_nbr
                   TABLES
                        po_item_schedules     = po_item_schedules
                        po_item_text          = po_item_text
                        po_items              = poitem1
                        return                = return.
But when I have created the PO, in the our reference field, it is space? Why? If I want to fill the the our reference with the another PO, how should I do?

What code editor do you use with Business Catalyst?

I am having many issues with Dreamweaver & BC:
1 - It keeps thinking that I have the trial version, even though I have a license to Creative Cloud and Creative Cloud shows that I have it.
2 - When I try to use the integrated Business Catalyst palette, it logs me out of the admin console for my BC site. ANNOYING.
3 - Most importantly, it doesn't put the files to the server successfully, consistently. I have change my file and re-put the file 5-6 times before it works. VERY FRUSTRATING!
After an hour on the phone with Dreamweaver customer support, the issue is still not resolved.
So, now I ask you all, what code editor are you using in conjunction with Business Catalyst while implementing your Business Catalyst websites?

Code editors, I used to use editplus until Adobe locked 90% of the FTP programs out there, now I use Sublime 2 with SFTP plugin but it's uber clunky and not so happy with it...

Hosting Client Sites with Business Catalyst?

Do I have to HOST potential client sites with Business Cataylst in order for the forms widget to work? I am very excited about this tool but this is one major issue that I need clarity on that plan old experience and practice will not answer. I have already used form entry sites that give you the code, but it just isnt MUSE! I get redirected to their sites and makes the overall site look less authentic... Can someone provide a little insight please!!! I'd call in to 1800 MUSE HELP if I could. Thanks!

Yes, the sites need to be hosted with Business Catalyst in order for the forms widget to work out of the box.
Users have also reported success adding contact forms to their site using Adobe FormsCentral, Jotform, or Wufoo and inserting them via Object > Insert HTML.
Read more about Muse's Contact form widgets here - http://www.adobekb.com/adding_contact_forms.html
"If you want to create and style forms with Muse and then upload your site to a different web hosting service, the forms will display as you designed them, but they will not function. If you have experience working with code, you can use Muse to export your site and then open the files in an HTML editor. Update the source code of the form to make it compatible with the form processing technology used by your hosting provider before you upload the files to their server."
Thanks,
Vinayak

Problem with Business Catalyst Webmail

Hello,
I built a website for a client, using Adobe Muse, that is hosted by Business Catalyst. On the website's Contact Us page I placed an Adobe Muse 'Simple Contact ' widget/form with three (3) fields: Name, Email, and Message. The form worked as intended until the end of December 2014. Since then, the information in the 'Email' field is being changed.
The site has four different email accounts through Business Catalyst. For the sake of discussion lets call them:
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
The Messages from the Muse Simple Contact form are sent to [email protected]. When the emails are viewed in Business Catalyst's 'Webmail' the email address that was entered into the Simple Contact forms's 'Email' field doesn't show up in the 'From' field as it always has. Instead the 'From' field shows that the email was sent from [email protected] regardless of what was entered, by the sender, in the 'Email' field of the Simple Contact form. It make no difference what email provider's address is entered in the field - @AOL, @Yahoo, @Roadrunner, @Hotmail, @Gmail, etc. - they are all changed to [email protected]
Likewise, when the client tries to reply to the customer's inquiry the 'To' field is populated with Mail-4@website not the email address the sender entered into the 'Email' field on the Muse Simple Contact form.
If I changed the Muse Simple Contact form so that the mail is directed to either [email protected] or [email protected] the problem exists on those accounts as well.
I'm not sure where the problem lies, so I am making inquiries both here and in the Adobe Muse forum - even though I'm almost certain the problem is with BC's 'Webmail' client.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this and how to fix it?
This is making it overly difficult for the client to respond to their customer's needs. I'm really up against a wall on this and have an angry client that is ready to walkaway from Muse and Business Catalyst

Can i just check with you that this is correct?
Thanks

Does UK hosting with Business Catalyst include VAT? Can it be paid for per year?

I have been using Adobe Muse for about a year - LOVE IT! I'm starting to get professional business's as clients who obviously want quotes for their websites and hosting. I would like to stick with Business Catalyst for hosting...their online help support (chat) is just fantastic.
Anyhoo, there is no effective price structure for this. It is all in US Dollas which is taking me a bloomin decade to convert. And, do the prices include VAT? It doesn't say anywhere. Can the plans be paid for annualy? It seems very unhelpful on the Adobe website.
Also, please tell me if I am misunderstanding...Adobe can bill the clients for the hosting. Which is great. But obviously I am a business and put my percentage on top. So how would that work?
Its a long ol' curve to learning something 100%..any help or advice here would be much appeciated. Thanks.

Hi,
BC only bills in US or AU dollars at this stage. You might want to reference the partner help guides under "Account & Billing" to see how billing your clients and custom pricing works within BC. - http://www.businesscatalyst.com/support/partner-help
There's two billing frequency options (monthly or annually). Furthermore if needing more assistance with account related questions I would recommend reaching out to the account team to help answer all your remaining questions to be 100% certain before moving forward.

Does anyone know how i can fix this? I'm a complete noob in this subject.
Thank u for reading

Could you post a link please?
BC does not give that message - Would be good to see if it is indeed BC.

Need information on the art of the possible with Business Catalyst

Hi
My wife is setting up an online Business that will sell downloadable language resources (for learning foreign languages). These will include worksheets, soundfiles, and also animations (that are being done by a separate animator).
I am a 'rusty' Java developer and have said that I would do the IT for her.
We have purchased an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription as she is doing the worksheets in InDesign, and they will be sold as PDF's.
I have mocked up the beginnings of a website with Muse, but was intending to use that for getting the look and feel right, then replicating it in Java and HTML5.
However, today I started looking a Business Catalyst and seeing what it could do, but I am confused about it.
Would I be able to sell downloadable items using the eCommerce features?
Can I set up a mock shop on the free BC site?
How much does the eCommerce upgrade actually cost? Like I said, we are a Creative Cloud subscriber.
There will be some features that I will need to code, perhaps talking to another database, I understand that you can call out from the app to your own webservices etc?
Thanks for any help.
matt

Hi Matt,
BC sounds like a good solution for you from the little bit you shared.
Do you mean javascript or java? Java doesn't run on BC as FYI.
Here are your answers:
Would I be able to sell downloadable items using the eCommerce features?
Yes you can. BC allows you to have media downloads for purchase.
Can I set up a mock shop on the free BC site?
Yes, you can start a free trial site that will allow you build and try out BC. Once you are ready to go live with the site you would pay to upgrade the site to a live site.
How much does the eCommerce upgrade actually cost? Like I said, we are a Creative Cloud subscriber.
The price is $38.88 per month (USA pricing. AU differs - more info here on pricing: US Monthly Pricing | Adobe Business Catalyst ) with Creative Cloud you have five basic sites with BC but to "upgrade" you pay the regular price for BC sites.
There will be some features that I will need to code, perhaps talking to another database, I understand that you can call out from the app to your own webservices etc?
There are APIs that allow you to talk to other services and send information back to BC.
You can find more answers by reading the KB: BC Help & support
On a side note, if you need help getting started with Business Catalyst I would happily offer my services. Send me a PM if you need additional help.

If I host with Business Catalyst, will search engines fine me any "better" or Worse than go daddy?

If I host with Business Catalyst, will search engines fine me any "better" or Worse than go daddy?
I am new to Muse and love it! Not sure if the hosting site matters one way or the other.

Liam has some great points. Some other things to consider is that google (just talking one search engine at the moment) more than likely know what a BC site looks like and is made of and would know the best ways to index it assuming you use some of the features of BC and not just straight up HTML.
Godaddy is straight up HTML so as far as indexing goes I think BC has an advantage as it is a known system much like wordpress.
As far as IP blocks, bad neighbours, etc only google will know that information and it's not easy to say which is better.
For example if someone on BC spam's there website everywhere or engages in dodgy SEO practises, spambots etc. Their site is going to be pushed down, if you happen to be on the same IP or close to that site you will be in a "bad neighbourhood" and it may affect your site in the short term. This is the case for ANY hosting solution, so take it all with a gain of salt.
