Wondering if Business Catalyst could work for me

Dear BC Community,
I want to build a site for my business that will utlisise the AWS EC2 computing power - can a BC hosted site interact with the AWS EC2?  I have other questions but if this is not possible I can stop here, so for now I'd appreciate just knowing this.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to answer me.
Mandy

Hi Mandy,
We don't have any known integration with AWS EC2 however you might want to reach out to Mario (http://www.twoblokeswithapostie.com/) to see what they might suggest as far as a possible custom solution. 
Custom solutions
There are some cases where even Business Catalyst can't do something that your client really wants. Not to worry. We can implement a custom solution for you in Python, Django, PostgreSQL and deploy it on EC2 Amazon servers. Your client will get an Admin interface which will allow them to manage their site like they would on Business Catalyst.
Kind regards,
-Sidney

  • How does business catalyst really work?

    So i've tried to reach this and cant seem to find answers in plain english.... How does Business Catalyst really work?.. functionally.
    1) I have a hosting service with godaddy and jumpline, I have a lot of space and do all of my client's websites through the space I have with those two plans, do they offer the business catalyst format? Just buy that platform with them or have it added?
    2) I have CC, business catalyst "comes with" it.... how does that work? Am I given space on someone elses server somewhere or do I just have the ability to upload the BC software onto a server I have... in which case could it be uploaded to godaddy or jumpline?
    3) The new MUSE features can only be done with business catalyst right?

    Hi,
    Business Catalyst is a web hosting platform that lets web designers host, build, and sell websites to clients. You use Muse to create and update a website. You use Business Catalyst to host it. A Muse subscription includes free hosting on Business Catalyst for one site. A Creative Cloud membership includes free hosting for five sites.
    Regarding your Creative Cloud Subscription, with BC. You must install and use Muse/Dreamweaver to publish your free sites. For More details, Please refer to the article below
    http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/using/business-catalyst-muse-users.html
    The new Muse feature, like in Browser editing is compatible only with Business Catalyst, but the other feature like Parallex Scrolling works on all the other hosting as well, like Godaddy.
    If you still have any query, please let us know and we will try to resolve it.
    Thanks.

  • I need urgent help in business catalyst SOAP api for [Product_UpdateInsert] operation.

    Hi Everyone, I am new in Business Catalyst, but, my company is working with BC for a while. I have a task to import external data (such as catalogue, products, orders, shopping cart etc) to business catalyst native tables via SOAP api. I am able to use "Product_ListRetrieve" function that gave me products from BC. Now I want to insert and update product list, for which the api call is "Product_UpdateInsert". I am not being able to feed in even a single record. I need any code (jquery, php, javascript, java etc) as a sample, that works with SOAP api for this function. It is very urgent. Please help me.

    Hi BCMan, Thanks for replying. Yes, the error is from BC side. The format was invalid. I fixed the issue today. Actually, I was pushing data from my PHP server to BC host system using SOAP api. I am still getting format errors, but I am able to insert data into products table.
    One more question if you don't mind. Is it possible to use JQuery/Javascript to push data into BC tables in real time (while browsing products table) using customized pages? There are documents to solve this. However, I could not find examples of how I could fetch data from JSON file using JQuery and then populate products/catalog/order tables.
    I appreciate your help.
    Thank you.

  • Business Catalyst Help | Work with pages

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/using/pages.html

    Ok, I can't seem to find a straight answer for this question anywhere online without something else I find contradicting it.
    PLEASE can someone tell me if my clients can edit text and images on Muse sites within Business catalyst, admin?
    Ido not care if it does not revert the changes to the muse application on my mac. I just want my clients to be able to maintain there text and images without contacting me.
    If and when the design needs to be changed on the original muse file, I will simply update the Muse file to correspond with the site online then make the further changes after that.
    I REALLY want to use Muse to create websites for my clients but if they can't update image/text content remotely then It's not going to work for me and 90% of freelance designers.
    Please can someone clear this up for me.

  • Help with business catalyst with muse for a client's website

    I created a site for a client using creative cloud muse, she got a business analyst account and added me as a user, but i am not able to upload the site straight from muse using publish .. what am i doing wrong?

    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.

  • Business Catalyst access permissions for different users

    Hi there,
    We want to have specific people have access to specific areas of a website we are developing and are considering using BC.
    For example:
    - Distributors will have their own section to access resources such as training manuals, videos and service agreements.
    - Service techs - will have their own section to access resources such as service manuals, instal guides etc.
    How does Business Catalyst allow different people to access different areas? Is it by:
    - Password?
    - People in the database are tagged, so they use their profile to access their own area?
    - other?
    If it is possible, could we be pointed in the direction of how to set this up?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Cheers,
    Andrew

    Sounds to me like Secure Zones will do this for you...
    You can create as many secure zones as you like and asign (or use registration forms) anybody to any zone. Ofcourse each zone can have it's own content, theme, etc...
    Here's a good place to start:

  • Business Catalyst Not Working

    I have an Adobe Cloud full paid monthly account.  I have used Business Catalyst to preview sites for clients for about a year and a half or more.
    I did not use it for a few months and then recently tried to use it again.
    Every time I try to upload my new site to BC and try to login it says "unknown error." I have reset password twice but password is correct.
    Tech support at Business Catalyst is not being helpful except to ask me what software I'm using and my login: 
    I use Muse.
    What is going on?  I thought that my monthly $50 to Adobe included a free Business Catalyst account?  No?
    The help and FAQ pages never seem to answer the questions I have. 
    I log in to my Adobe account okay but I can't seem to log in to BC. 
    BC first forced me to change my account password.  Then they said that I had to change it back to my Adobe ID password.
    Now each time I try to log in it says there is already an account with that email.
    I think I'm going to lose my mind. 
    Customer/Tech support at other cloud systems is not this difficult to get through to.

  • Additional Fields for ESS-Business Card Not Working for Certain Countries

    Dear Experts,
    We were trying to configure the additional fields to be displayed in Business Card - Overview Screen for all countries. We don't have problem configure and get the new fields display for Malaysia (Molga = 14) but having problem for the field to display for Hong Kong (Molga = 27) and Singapore (Molga - 25).
    The strange thing is I am following the same steps as I configured for Malaysia. Somehow it is not working for Hong Kong and Singapore. As I understand, there is only 1 place to configure in SPRO for this requirement:
    Personnel Management -> Employee Self-Service -> Service-Specific Settings -> Own Data -> Customizing of Personal Information Screens -> Determine Fields for Business Card on Overview Screen
    Please help!

    Hi Siddhart,
    Thank you for the information. We are currently in EhP3 with below Support Components installed.
    Software Component: SAP_HR

    The note 1159911 provided is within SAPK-60304INEAHR. Thus, I don't think this is the root cause of this inconsistency base on the Highest Support Package installed in our system.
    Anymore hint? Anyone? Please...

  • Business catalyst stopped working

    Business catalyst does not work. When I try to create a new BC site a popup flashes then disappears  and that's all she wrote. I tried it out some time back. Since then I got the cloud membership now that I am trying it out again nothing. Although BC works fine with Muse.
    Any ideas??

  • Getting Business Catalyst Forms working with Muse in Webmarketing Package

    Hi All,
    I am having problems with forms using BC Webmarketing packaging and Muse.
    When I past the html code for the BC form into a Muse page then upload it I get the following error message
    http://www.virtualteacher.com.au/images/error-webform.jpg
    and the web form is deleted from my Business Catalyst web Forms list.
    What is the best solution for integration between BC and Muse.
    I want to be continually updating aspects of both.
    Can I quarantine some BC pages that Muse will not update?
    Any suggestions would be great.
    ciao

    Hi Sanjit,
    The problem is that when I update the Muse template page with the BC code
    {tag_pagecontent}
    The Business Catalyst template it is  based on this doesn't update or screws up the page.
    Registration
    The form is there as I have used it a number of times but the template page doesn't load properly

  • What alternative CMS are there to Business Catalyst which work with Muse?

    Hi there,
    We built a new site in Muse and started using BC (for the CMS) over a year ago, and while we're very pleased with how the site now looks and performs, we feel we've outgrown BC/the CMS.
    What alternatives do we have for the CMS that will work with Muse?
    If it helps...
    - We'd like a better search facility that can look at individual categories as we have several content holders such as News, Jobs, Features articles etc
    - A page numbering system rather than a long list of items stored in the content holder (news items etc). IE at the bottom you see 1, 2, 3, 4, etc
    - Tags - so key phrases or categories are suggested/shown with a value of news items
    Any help much appreciated
    Regards
    Tom

    Hi Tom,
    Just showing my support to your question. I have found Catalyst a NON-2015 CMS, and I would really like to hear we have more options for managing our Muse made websites.
    Any answer from the Adobe team?

  • OUTLOOK 2013 permission shared calendar Free/Busy doesn't work for some the users Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2003 that use outlook 2007/2010

    Hello,
    We are in coexitence organisation (transition Migration) Exchange 2003 sp2 and Exchange 2010 sp1.
    Users in Exchange 2003 use outlook 2007 and outlook 2010
    Users in Exchange 2010 use outlook 2007, outlook 2010 and outlook 2013.
    Issue: users in Exchange 2003 can't open outlook 2013 user calendar when he has Busy/Free information as default permission in his calendar.
    User in Exchange 2010 with outlook 2007 can't also open outlook 2013 user calendar when he has Busy/Free information as default permission in his calendar.
    Is it normal ? or exist some configurations to do in order to coexist all thoses clients and servers ?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Does this issue occur on Outlook only or both Outlook and OWA?
    Since you have double checked the permissions via multiple methods, it seems there is nothing problem on permission. Please make sure the migration from Exchange 2003 server completed successfully.
    If in OWA everything goes well (cannot see details), it should be an issue on the Outlook client side.
    I suggest run Outlook under safe mode to avoid some AVs and add-ins.
    I suggest re-create profile to refresh the caches.
    Thanks
