Please fix bounding boxes in Forms Widget

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:10:30 GMT

When adding fields to a form with the Forms Widget each new field has a massive, and I repeat MASSIVE!! bounding box. Why is the bounding box so big? Why don't I have any direct control over it? Why not have a bounding box that fits the object? This creates a big problem for those of us who need to create long forms with lots of fields. We end up with web pages that have thousands, yes THOUSANDS!! of pixels of empty space because of the MASSIVE amount of empty bounding box space that accumulates with each added field.

There is a work around. A brutally tedious work around. I have to manually select each element of each new field and drag it to the bottom right of the MASSIVE!! bounding box.

Please, PLEASE!! for the love of all that is good and right in this world, PLEASE fix this bug.

Thank you,
David Daugherty

Composition (slideshow) bug

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 12:36:16 GMT

I have a bug on my website. I added a composition with a trigger (slideshow) with 3 pictures on my main page (index.html) and in muse in preview mode all loads well but when export my website and view it in a browser, the autoplay on the slideshow doesn't work and the 2nd photos won't appear, instead we see a preloader bar. How to fix this bug ?

Drop down menu problem

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 03:59:00 GMT

I'm not sure why sub-menus appear in the drop down state when designing a page. IOWs in the Design mode second level pages registered to a menu item display as if the menu item were activated. I find this to be a nuisance that serves no purpose., and actually would interfere with the normal design process (i.e., positioning the upper level text box) - especially if you had several items in the drop down menu.

jQuery Button Animation

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 00:16:02 GMT

It would be pretty awesome if there could be a merge with some Adobe Edge features. For example for creating buttons, navigations, states and rolllover animations etc. I've created a little screenshot how this could look like... oh and giving Muse a black UI would be also pretty slick ;-)

A form tool that works in Muse

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 06:47:24 GMT

For those of you who don't want to or can't host on Business Catalyst, I've finally found an EXCELLENT forms creation tool that allows you to host the script and related files on any host: Web Form Builder by CoffeeCup Software (www.CoffeeCup.com). It comes in both Mac and Windows versions for $69. I created a form which you can see at www.RockSolidCreations.us/contact-us.html. I built the entire site from scratch with Muse, but until today I had no way to build a form for the Contact page. The form displays properly in Safari, Firefox, Chrome and Opera on the Mac. I haven't checked it out on Windows yet, but I'm confident it works there as well. Anyone who is Windows-based, please check it out in IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome and any other browser you may have and let me know if there are any glitches.

Note: The host server needs to be set up in the following manner to work with Web Form Builder:

• PHP 5.3 or later

• Curl Extension

• PHP Sessions

Just call up your hosting company and ensure these are set up properly, then you can upload the files and all will be well.

Note: When you import the form html code into Muse, you'll see a light purple rectangle instead of the form. It shows the outlines of the form and you can use it to align it to the page. Once the files are uploaded it will display just fine. CoffeeCup's support was great in helping me figure out how to get it working.

If you decide to use the reCaptcha anti-spam feature, you'll need to log into reCaptcha on Google to get the public and private keys to make it work.

There are many different themes and looks built into WFB, and you can customize the look through the Properties window. Until Adobe builds an on-board forms creation tool that works on servers other than Business Catalyst, WFB is a great solution that has allowed me to move my entire web development into Muse. CoffeeCup has proven it can be done. Now we just have to get Adobe to step up to the plate to eventually build a similar or even better widget.

Where do I find documentation on ALL of the widgets?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 24 Feb 2013 01:12:14 GMT

I've gone through all the Lynda.com videos on Muse and several on the Adobe web site, but I need a comprehensive manual or documentation that details ALL the features of Muse. Right now I haven't experimented with all the different widgets to figure out what they do--and it would be great to simply have a description of what's possible with each widget. It would be great to know the difference between the Compositions Lightbox Display and the Slideshows Lightbox, for example. How are they different? When would I use one and not the other? Is there a full manual on each of the widgets somewhere? In the old days, I could always go to the printed or PDF manual to learn how to use a particular feature, but I haven't been able to find one on Adobe's site. Help!

In preview mode, a dropdown menu of all available browsers on your computer would be helpful.

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 27 Jan 2013 18:00:40 GMT

Another site building program I've used in the past has a handy drop-down menu under the Preview in web browser that lists all the web browsers you have available on your computer. Then you can test them all one after the other to see what needs to change to make them all look as good as possible. Can you impliment that for us in Muse?

In earlier version a dynamic website was a standard

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 18 Jan 2013 14:25:43 GMT

Hello Adobe,

I would like the option back from an earlier version of Muse.

Then my website would ajust to the screensize, so on my mobile device

it was very very small but still in shape, on a tablet the size of my website

ajusted.

Now with the new options of designing for tablet or mobile device this

is not a standard. I had maintanance on my website and on the

different devices my website fell apart.

Now I am bound to design explicit for the mobile devices.

Pff, that is not always necessary or the best solution.

I want the standard back, bur with the option for designing for another device!

Please can you make this happen in a short time!?!

Creative greetz, Chantal

RSS in Muse

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 13:09:33 GMT

It would be nice to be able to put a RSS feed in Muse - for instance for a Newspage or a frequently updated "blog". It is probably posible if you are a code-wizard and on BC - but most Muse users - as me - are basically none-coders and not every webpage can be on BC. So over to you clever guys

Revert to past saved versions

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 16:49:48 GMT

I've just lost a load of work, don't know how I did it but basically I created a tab widget with 3 tabs originally. I then expanded this to 5 tabs.

When I've opened the file again it's reverted back to the three tabs? I've lost all the content I placed into the last two tabs?

I have no idea why this deleted these two tabs, but it would be useful to be able to have files auto save and to be able to revert back to the last good known version.

Ability to export individual html pages

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 23 Nov 2012 19:59:53 GMT

It would be nice to have the ability to export individual html pages instead of having to export the entire site each time you make a change. For example, I just upgraded to version 2.3. In doing so, it changed the font size on my master page (without me doing anything). I'm searching for the fix. I'd like to be able to try one thing, then export a page, upload it, and see if it works. Instead, I have to export the entire site which takes almost 10 minutes before I can go to the next possible fix.

This would also be very helpful if only making a simple change to one page without altering the rest of a very large site.

Please consider this for a future release.

Thanks!

Muse slideshow widget_change directions on transitions

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 22:32:09 GMT

Currently slideshows make possible either Horizontal or Vertical transitions besides Fade; however, changing directions for the Horizontals (from either left-to-right, or right-to-left) and changing the Vertical transitions (top-to-down rather than just the opposite) would be a very useful features in making the most of slideshow transitions.

Slideshow - how to place text in different positions

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 16:51:49 GMT

Does anyone know how to place each illustration foot text where you want? Slideshow move all foot texts when you do it with one.

it would be nice if videos could autoplay on Muse (specifically in the Lightbox format).

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 28 Oct 2012 18:18:45 GMT

I know there was a discussion about this not long ago, but it seems to have gotten archived or something. Anyway. long and short was Muse could't autoplay videos. It still can't, except thanks to YouTube grandfathering some old code. But only on YouTube. I'd like to resucitate the discussion: I mean this is an idea really worth implementing. Seriously, who wants to look at a thumbnail of a video, click on the thumbnail to get what's ostensibly a bigger thumbnail, and then have to click again to get a video. That's a three legged pony show!

Add an image rollover

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sat, 16 Jun 2012 08:14:58 GMT

I can't believe that you can't add a simple image rollover in muse.

I know you can import a Photoshop "Button" but the you can't control how to compress the image.

The only way to do it now is by creating a "fill" area then select normal/rollover state later - which is a few more steps more than it needs.

I know you are trying to differenticate MUSE from Dreamweaver but there's no need to create a "Dreamweaver for dummy". Muse is fundamentally different from Dreamweaver anyway and that's why I loved it so much. There is NO harm to accommodate a little bit of control for designers cause we are normally quite picky for image quality.

Thx.
