i really wish that i could talk to a real person who could tell me why i keep on getting DNS shutdown notices when i log into Business Catalyst It's very frustrating to spend 10-15 minutes browsing your website to find an answer, or a person who would answer my question only to have to LOG IN to send in this question.
I upgraded per the notices and don't know where else to go for the other DNS that are listed, as i can't find them in my only other web hosting account.
We are announcing a new Business Catalyst release, scheduled to go live on Tuesday, September 10th.
Please refer to our blog post for an overview of all major changes.
In this release, we're introducing the ability to set metadata for products, similar to the previous feature we've done for blogs.
To show the Products Meta description, change the HTML for the Individual Product Large Layout to include the corresponding tags in the <head> tag. You can use {tag_productmetatitle} and {tag_productmetadescription} to output the product title and meta description, and they can be used for other meta properties as well.
Here's a code snippet:
<html>
<head>
<title>{tag_productmetatitle}</title>
<meta content="{tag_productmetadescription}" name="description" />
<meta content="{tag_productmetatitle}" property="og:title" />
<meta content="{tag_productmetadescription}" property="og:description" />
</head>
<body>
...... rest of the product template code..........
</body>
</html>
To populate the Meta description for your products, you can use the product import - we've updated the export and the import files with a Product Meta Description column, it's the last column in the import template file.
Note: You still need to import all the product information (fill in all the rows and columns) even if only wanting to update the Product Meta Description.

Please advise...
For the past 16 hours I have not been able to log into the Admin site of my site. Clicking on Manage in the Partner Portal gives the same result.
AND, my site does not seem to be listed on the web. I have double checked DNS from GoDaddy but they seem correct. No BC chat available.
All I wanted to do is add A php header and footer but it will not preview or Show on BC is php enabled on the server or do I need to Save in a diffrent format in order to make a dynamic site?
Just checking to see if this is happening to anyone else since the system update? Add to Cart button is not working.

Our March release includes:
You can jump to the corresponding section by clicking the above links.
We're proud to introduce the first public release of our new File Manager. Designed with productivity and ease of use in mind, the File Manager is an entirely new concept. When complete, it will be a full replacement for the current Pages, Templates, Module Templates, System Pages and old File Manager interfaces. The new File Manager is based on our rich client side, API based UI framework - we know you'll be impressed by how it performs 
In this Alpha release, the following features are available:
Some of the known issues which will be addressed in upcoming releases include:
The File Manager is available only to Partners for now. Before introducing it to your business owner clients, we need to address permissions, design view editing and more.
We are looking forward to your feedback. Please let us about any issues you encounter, or your suggestions for improvements.
The Site Settings -> SEO menu entry in Admin Console has been removed. The available options were:
Note that trial sites will not be indexed by search engines. Should you want to disable search engine indexing after upgrade, please use a custom robots.txt file or upload an empty sitemap.xml.
If you'd like to use a custom sitemap.xml file, simply upload it to your site. If this file exists, it will be served instead of the BC-generated sitemap.xml.
Should you still need to access the SEO settings, they will still be available for a short period at yoursite.com/AdminConsole/#!/Utilities/SEO.aspx
To simplify the user and email accounts management workflows and increase Admin interface performance, we're updating their corresponding user interfaces beginning March 20th.
While email and user accounts will continue to share data to facilitate email and admin access for the same email address, the management of emails and user accounts will be separated. In addition, for better security, the user and email accounts will be created using an invitation workflow, which means that the user creating the account will not be able to set a password for the account they are creating.
The old user interface will preserve its functionality which allows admins to manage users and email accounts.
In addition, by separating the email and user account management, we are dropping the option of having a user that doesn't have admin and email access. While these accounts will continue to live on the system, they will have no interface to manage them. To manage these, you will need use the old user interface to enable email or admin access for each of these user accounts.
Note: The new interfaces for user and email accounts management will be made localization-ready using the Adobe Content Translation Tool starting with the next release. For non-English customers we recommend the use of the old user interface.
New user interface V3 default for new users - pushed to April release
We've pushed the change of the default user interface for new users into the April release, so that we are able to better integrate some of the new features we're working on, such as the new File Manager and User and Email account management interfaces.
Updated domain management
Continuing the journey started with User and Email account management, we're going to update the domain management user interfaces to be more intuitive and faster to use without losing the functionality available today.
We noticed that the admin system was done briefly tonight. That was ok, but there was a spelling mistake...
We are announcing a new Business Catalyst release, scheduled to go live on Monday, April 22nd, between 1AM - 6AM PST.
Please refer to our blog post for an overview of all major changes.

We are announcing a new Business Catalyst release, scheduled to go live next week.
This release includes several fixes that were impacting partners and customers using our eCommerce module, a new module setting allowing partners to display individual random items from a category, some improvements to the new File Manager, Forgot password support for offline payments and a few other bug fixes.
Known issues can be found posted here: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2372
Random display items per category
One frequent request we had from partners, was the ability to display random web app items from a specific category. With the next release we're going to include this setting not only for web apps, but for all items that supported random display: web app items, news, blogs, events, FAQs, Forums, Media Downloads. To display a random item from a category, a user should use the cr attribute in the module. See below some samples for each of the updates modules:
{ module_webapps,5579,cr,41117 }{ module_webappscustomer,5579,cr,41117 }{ module_announcement,cr,41117 } or { module_announcement,cr,41117,true,ajax,_top }{ module_blog,cr,41117 }{ module_booking,cr,41117 }{ module_faq,cr,41117 } or { module_faq,cr,41117,true,ajax,_top }{ module_forum,cr,41117 }{ module_literature,cr,41117 }
The new setting is also available through the module manager or our Dreamweaver integration
: 
For more information on this new module parameter, read the Module Quick Reference guide.
Send web form to additional email addresses
With this release, we are enabling webBasics site owners to send the web form notification to multiple email addresses. To enable that, we've added a new web form setting, named "Notification E-mail", that allows users to enter the email addresses where the web form notification should be sent:
Note: This functionality is available for all plans. When a workflow is applied on the form, this setting will list the email addresses included in the first step of the attached workflow.
"Forgot password workflow" for offline payments
Due to PCI-DSS security requirements, we have implemented a compliant workflow for the Offline Payment (OP) password.

Hi all,
Yesterday afternoon (5th Dec) sftp uploads stopped working. They had been working sucessfully up to that point, and I haven't made any changes to my configuration.
Bottom line - when I sync from Dreamweaver, it claims to copy the file sucessfully, however the end result is a 0 byte file on the server.
I tried connecting with a sftp client (Cyberduck) to see what was going on. When I copy a file using cyberduck, the same thing happens - it appears to copy sucessfully (ie. all bytes appear to transfer sucessfully), however a 0 byte file on the server is all I end up with.
What could be going on here? Every page I've updated since yesterday is 0 bytes so our site is no longer available.
Please, any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
jupiter
i really wish that i could talk to a real person who could tell me why i keep on getting DNS shutdown notices when i log into Business Catalyst It's very frustrating to spend 10-15 minutes browsing your website to find an answer, or a person who would answer my question only to have to LOG IN to send in this question.
I upgraded per the notices and don't know where else to go for the other DNS that are listed, as i can't find them in my only other web hosting account.
I need to cancel the recurring payment for our site:
| Site Subscription for: Awbury Arboretum (181344) | 14-Jun-2013 | 681174 | US$421.00 | US$421.00 |
ref # 5311787501.
I thought I would be able to do this from the admin console, but I am not that tech-saavy. Could a BC staff member assist me with this? We realize that we will not be able to access our admin console after 14-June-2013 while our bill remains unpaid.
Thank you!
For the past 16 hours I have not been able to log into the Admin site of my site. Clicking on Manage in the Partner Portal gives the same result.

We received an email on Wednesday indicating some sites hosted on the US datacenter were intermittently unavailable. Sure enough, our web was down. Then back up, then down. And it's down today. Yet we've received no updates since Wednesday. We are subscribed for the email updates, so they must not be posted very often? But our web is down!
We noticed that the admin system was done briefly tonight. That was ok, but there was a spelling mistake...
