Web app Number field: How to format a number as currency in Business catalyst

Not a coder. I have a Number field I have created in my web app, please how can I format this field to display the figures like this 999,999,999,999 (#120,000,000) random figure. Help will be appreciated.

You can't. Number type field is there for storing integers. 999,999,999,999
is not an integer. You need to use text string. Unless you're using the
field inside the search form, in which case you need to use JavaScript to
format the content of the field on the frontend.
Cheers,
Mario

  • Setting up a web app search field that searches all web app data

    Hi BC forum
    We have this web site - bridgerd.com.au - and we are finding limitations with the web app search bar (where it says: Search Bridge Rd). This search bar will only search for data within the Web App 'description field'. We're wanting it to work a little more like the site search module, where it searches all content of a particular web app - including data from different fields.
    Obviously this would be a great out-of-the-box feature for BC, and it seems to be an annoying limitation. Has anyone overcome this issue before? Is there a way to search all fields by concatenating a bunch of hidden fields into one submitted search using java script. Or could we using java script to copy the same entered search value to all fields whilst hiding all but the main search field?
    Cheers

    Actually, let me clarify this... Is there a way to expand the "Keyword" field search in web apps past the limits of only searching the "Content" field?
    OR
    Is it possible to include the custom fields in our web app to the search criteria? When I add the web app to the page, it seems BC will only add the default web app search fields. If I can add the custom web app search fields, I may be able to employ my theory as per last post.

  • Trying to use web app text field to redirect a page.

    I am trying to create a web app, that will provide 'members' with a page that they can use to redirect to other pages of their choice. What I want to do is allow the member user to select (from a dropdown menu, or even input their own into a text field) a specific url (i.e. http://www.facebook.com/myfacebookpage) on their customer page. Once they select the url they want, and save their info, that url will be used in a redirect page, (i.e. <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url={tag_redirectURL}"> or something to that effect. Has anyone done this or have any ideas how to do it? Ultimately, I want the user to be able to change on the fly where someone goes when they share their user link with a friend (i.e. http://www.mywebsite.com/userpage/ will take someone to a facebook page or to a youtube video, or some other page they redirect to) so they can switch it on their own when they choose to.

    Hi Scott,
    You could create a web app which as a text (string) field in it for customers to enter the URL they want to redirect the customers to. Then place a JavaScript redirect inside the detailed layout, which would look like this:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    <!--
    window.location = "{tag_your-url-field}"
    //-->
    </script>
    Give them access to secure zone, place a web app item creation form onto it and you're good to go.

  • How do I upload a finished website to Business Catalyst using Dreamweaver?

    I've finished building a website that I want to publish on Business Catalyst for my client. I'm using Dreamweaver CC. There is an option for creating a new BC website, but I can't find a way to upload a finished site like I was able to in the older versions of Dreamweaver. Am I missing something?

    A workaround that's available that involves a few steps.
    1. Print a network configuration page to get the printers host name.
    a. press the wrench in top right hand corner
    b. Select the wireless menu
    c. Scroll and select network configuration.
    d. Print network configuration page.
    2. Select start menu
    a. Go to my computer.
    b. At the top of the page select map network drive.
    c. In the drive box select a available drive letter.
    d. In the Path or Folder text box, type the following:
    \\ insert host name here\Memory_Card
    example on how it should look. \\HP7A5319\memory_card
    Select finish after entering information.
    Let me know how it goes.

  • How do I begin payment for a webMarketing Business Catalyst subscription?

    Extreme frustration here.  I have a subscription to Muse, built an awesome website for my company, we have been testing it live under the "xxxx.businesscatalyst.com" option. I have looked everywhere and cannot find the place where I pay for a business catalyst subscription.
    When I test launch it live to the xxxx.businesscatalyst.com website, I click manage and you can see all the stats and stuff in the "Admin Console" - also the dashboard screen says I have the webBasics Plan and that the status is live.  I never even chose webBasics initially and we havent paid anything, so i'm clueless on whats going on there. I have spent many hours trying to find where I choose my BC subscription and actually pay for it and there is no direction whatsoever in the admin console.
    My company has a domain with a website running on it now and we want to use that same domain for the new Muse site I built.  That is also something that I am clueless about...I thought it would be straightforward, but when i research it all i see to find are tons of situations that seem way more complex than mine.  We don't want forms or client accounts, we just want a website with pictures. 
    Any ideas on where to start?  I have been to every "stock" help page on Adobe's sites and I get lost or hone in on a problem that is unrelated to mine.
    Thanks in advance.

    Site published from Muse will be in web basic site plan.

  • How many temp sites can be active on business catalyst

    Hoiw many temp sites can be active at one time on business catlyst. I have a 4 temp sites with business catalyst url's but the last one will not go one line its erro massage says no start page.

    Hello,
    The issue that you're facing is not related to the number of trial sites. There are many users with much more temporary sites active than in your case. The issue is something else here, which can be a start page not configured in the "site domains" section of the site. However, it will need to be checked to be determined. Can you hence, provide us with the URL to the site where you face this issue?

  • Help.jsp web app war file (how to exclude resources)

    Hi, I am making a jsp/JSF application and now wanted to deploy it on a glassfish server. this is the first time i am deploying so am still learning it as i go.
    I wanted to clear out something before i go ahead.
    My application has tons of resuorce files (mainly huge Picture and videos) which are roughly the size of 1-2 GB. I do not want to add them to my WAR file. is it possible to exclude the resources from the war file?
    How difficult would it be for me to to then link the resources folder to the deployed application?

  • How to remove .dwt templates from Creative Cloud Business Catalyst site?

    Hi,
    I've created a site in Dreamweaver using one of my free creative cloud sites.  There is a site structure automatically in place that is using the .dwt Dreamweaver templates with editable regions.  I've found this is really impairing my workflow and I would like to convert the site to just using regular .html templates without editable regions.
    When I try to upload a template file with a .html extension via SFTP I get a permissions error.  I haven't found any other way around this either.
    Can someone help me convert the site from using .dwt templates to using .html templates without editable regions?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Hi Jeff,
    All files including templates on BC are .html based. IF you have .dwt files on there it is because you did not go through the DW BC tool or extension(older DW) and just uploaded them. Delete them - BC does not use them if you have those on the host.
    In terms of just directly uploading you need to ensure two things with templates.
    1. The folder locally is EXACTLY the same spelling and capitalisation as the host.
    2. The html file template HAS TO HAVE {tag_pagecontent} there to be classed as a template.
    I think 2 may be your issue?

    Hello,
    You can make the changes in .muse file and then publish it to the existing site.
    It will automatically detect your old site when you click on File>Publish ONLY if you are using the same Adobe Id to upload the site which you used earlier to upload.
    You can check which Adobe Id you are using by going into Edit>Preferences option and under Publish with Account youwill find the Adobe Id which is being used to upload the site.
    you can change the Id (if required) by clicking on the dropdown and click on Switch accounts.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I use a web app to provide me with results from a matrix?

    I have a need to set up a search type box based off a matrix. This is a matrix which shows a list of zip codes down the left column, and a list of products across the top, and the corresponding field from a zip code and a product is the freight rate.
    e.g.
              Product 1     Product 2     Product 3     Product 4
    1234     $10               $12               $14               $16
    4567     $11               $11               $13               $17
    5678     $55               $54               $27               $35    
    so the freight rate to 4567 for product 3 is $13.
    Then what i want to have is a drop down list for a customer to select the product, then a field to enter their zip code, and the search result will be the cross referenced freight rate.
    Is this possible? If so, can someone guide me as to how this would be done?

    Throw this open to the community to chip in, but off the top of my head.... thinking of something along lines of:
    Create 3 web apps,
    Product (Fields Product Name & ProductID)
    Zipcode (Fields Area Desc & Zipcode)
    Freight Rates (Fields FreightRateID (made up of ProductID_ZipCode), Freight Rate)
    Create a web app search form for Web App Freight Rates with:
    Product select, with options drawn from web app 1 using ProductID for value.
    Zipcode select, with options drawn from web app 2 using Zipcode for value.
    Hidden FreightRateID field.
    Once a visitor has selected their product and zipcode, using javascript concatenate the selected ProductID with selected Zipcode.
    This will produce a FreightRateID (e.g. PROD1_4567), which can be loaded into the hidden FreightRateID field.
    When submitted, it will perform a web app search for a Freight Rate that matches the chosen product and zipcode, ie. FreightRateID.
    To make entry of the freight rates easier, maybe add 2 datasource fields to the Freight Rate web app for Product and Zipcode.
    Then create a front end web app add/edit (via a secure zone) to allow entry to be done by:
    Select product, select zipcode then enter freight rate.  (FreightRateID can be created and populated in same way as search above)

  • Adding a new choice to a checkbox field in a web app - options renumbered

    Hi all,
    I have been working on a web app today. (for a change...lol!)
    I had to add another option to a custom checkbox field in the webapp and I noticed the following:
    New options in a checkbox field need to be added to the end of the checkbox list, otherwise the options are renumbered to reflect the new order of items.
    I imagine this will affect any web app entry that is already using that checkbox field.
    To further illustrate what I mean here is a sample Regions checkbox field with its options:
    <input type="checkbox" name="CAT_Custom_197366" id="CAT_Custom_197366_0" value="ACT" />ACT<br />
    <input type="checkbox" name="CAT_Custom_197366" id="CAT_Custom_197366_1" value="NSW" />NSW<br />
    <input type="checkbox" name="CAT_Custom_197366" id="CAT_Custom_197366_2" value="NT" />NT<br />
    <input type="checkbox" name="CAT_Custom_197366" id="CAT_Custom_197366_3" value="QLD" />QLD<br />
    <input type="checkbox" name="CAT_Custom_197366" id="CAT_Custom_197366_4" value="SA" />SA<br />
    <input type="checkbox" name="CAT_Custom_197366" id="CAT_Custom_197366_5" value="VIC" />VIC<br />
    <input type="checkbox" name="CAT_Custom_197366" id="CAT_Custom_197366_6" value="WA" />WA<br />
    <input type="checkbox" name="CAT_Custom_197366" id="CAT_Custom_197366_7" value="NZ" />NZ<br />
    I needed to add TAS to this list, cos I forgot! (Sorry Tasmania)
    When I put it after SA the list looked like this when inserted on an upload page:
    <input type="checkbox" name="CAT_Custom_197366" id="CAT_Custom_197366_0" value="ACT" />ACT<br />
    <input type="checkbox" name="CAT_Custom_197366" id="CAT_Custom_197366_1" value="NSW" />NSW<br />
    <input type="checkbox" name="CAT_Custom_197366" id="CAT_Custom_197366_2" value="NT" />NT<br />
    <input type="checkbox" name="CAT_Custom_197366" id="CAT_Custom_197366_3" value="QLD" />QLD<br />
    <input type="checkbox" name="CAT_Custom_197366" id="CAT_Custom_197366_4" value="SA" />SA<br />
    <input type="checkbox" name="CAT_Custom_197366" id="CAT_Custom_197366_5" value="TAS" />TAS
    <input type="checkbox" name="CAT_Custom_197366" id="CAT_Custom_197366_6" value="VIC" />VIC<br />
    <input type="checkbox" name="CAT_Custom_197366" id="CAT_Custom_197366_7" value="WA" />WA<br />
    <input type="checkbox" name="CAT_Custom_197366" id="CAT_Custom_197366_8" value="NZ" />NZ<br />
    So all values after SA got renumbered, which I am sure would have affected the existing data in the webapp.
    So I had to do add it to the end of the checkbox list so no existing data was disturbed. The field then inserts on the upload page as follows:
    <input type="checkbox" name="CAT_Custom_197366" id="CAT_Custom_197366_0" value="ACT" />ACT<br />
    <input type="checkbox" name="CAT_Custom_197366" id="CAT_Custom_197366_1" value="NSW" />NSW<br />
    <input type="checkbox" name="CAT_Custom_197366" id="CAT_Custom_197366_2" value="NT" />NT<br />
    <input type="checkbox" name="CAT_Custom_197366" id="CAT_Custom_197366_3" value="QLD" />QLD<br />
    <input type="checkbox" name="CAT_Custom_197366" id="CAT_Custom_197366_4" value="SA" />SA<br />
    <input type="checkbox" name="CAT_Custom_197366" id="CAT_Custom_197366_5" value="VIC" />VIC<br />
    <input type="checkbox" name="CAT_Custom_197366" id="CAT_Custom_197366_6" value="WA" />WA<br />
    <input type="checkbox" name="CAT_Custom_197366" id="CAT_Custom_197366_7" value="NZ" />NZ<br />
    <input type="checkbox" name="CAT_Custom_197366" id="CAT_Custom_197366_8" value="TAS" />TAS
    and then reorder the fields manually so they were alpha on the upload form.
    An interesting thing to discover today.
    Keep it in mind if you are changing the options in a web app checkbox field. Always add new items at the end. Maybe you will need to do a space for any option that is deleted.
    Regards,
    Mary

    Unless your doing something fancy with the Numbers Mary it does not matter the re-shifting of the numbers.
    Do you see the name and it's data number? That's the one that matters and what the choice data is stored against, that's the actual custom field :p
