embedded website on story map

PatriciaCarbajales-Dale

We've embedded websites on story maps for the last two years without many issues (especially when changing https to http). However, today we were not able to embed webpages into the map journal or cascade. Also tried with Chrome and Firefox.

Have there been any security changes to browsers that don't allow for this option anymore?

Hi Patricia -- Unfortunately, those websites restrict embedding. When I try to embed them in a story map I see these errors in the browser console. These errors are described in the troubleshooting blog I mentioned above and indicate the website does not allow itself to be embedded in other web pages, such as story maps.

If you have been able to do this successfully in the past the sites' policy must have changed, and I suggest you check those stories because they likely won't be working either.

Since this is a decision the website owner makes there's nothing we can really do about this. In these cases we recommend that you include a link in the text of your story to open the web page in another browser tab.

Hi Owen,

I understand that. But if I use other Google sites that we've created, then it works as it shows on the 4th and 5th stops of this map journal:

http://clemson.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapJournal/index.html?appid=65c48c9a9a6144568d31b4ccfc627d87

It seems new google sites cannot be embedded but old google sites still can.

We just want to be able to show data sources. The students have also uploaded the table as a pdf to arcgis.com and tried to embed it, but no luck. Do you have any other workaround?

Thank you in advance,

Patricia

Hi Owen,

Thank you for replying so quickly. Really appreciate it. We are trying to embed a google site which we have been able to successfully embed many times before. Here are the links:

https://sites.google.com/a/g.clemson.edu/alt-tansp-in-clemson/

https://sites.google.com/site/alttranspinclemsondatasources/

None of those are working in either a cascade or map journal. Any advice is very much appreciated as we are trying to publish these for our final projects due next week.

Hi Patricia -- Sorry you are having difficulty embedding web pages in a Story Map. There were some updates to Story Maps and ArcGIS Online last night, but your post was before those updates were made, so you must be having an issue unrelated to the updates.

Please take a look at this blog for some tips on troubleshooting embedding content and this blog for some best practices on this subject.

Not sure if it was a typo in your post, but you should always use secure HTTPS links when embedding content in a story map (not HTTP). In fact, as part of the updates last night we've added checks that will find insecure HTTP links in your story, report them, and help you update them to secure HTTPS links. You can read more about that new feature here.

Can you share the link of the web page you were trying to embed and more information about what was going wrong?
