"No maps were found."

Question

Tried to search the forum for this message, nothing was returned.

These are the steps I have taken so far:

1. Downloaded the public template to a Windows 2003 Server, created the web site
2. Logged on to the page to besure that the default "ArcGIS Online" content was loading properly
3. Logged into ArcGIS Online, created a "MyContent" group
4. Added two (2) entries.  A map service and a map, based upon that service
5. Shared both entires to "Public" and to my "Group"
6. Clicked on the "Group ID Finder" on my web site
7. Retrieved the group ID, made the appropriate edit in the "..\scripts\config.js" file
8. Refreshed the contents of my site and received the "No maps were found." message in the grid view.
9. I get nothing in the "Carousel" view

Not sure what to try next?  Has anyone received a similar message when trying to access their ArcGIS Online group resource?

Thank you, in advance, for any hints/ideas
Lynn

The problem could be that there isn't an image icon on the group description page (USGS NY Water Science Center). Try editing the group and adding an image next to the title of the group.

Let me know if that works.

I too am having this problem.  I tried all recommended fixes but no luck.  Any other suggestions?

This is the web map I created:

Hi Lynn,

The items need to be "Web Map" in order to be shown. They will probably show up in the layers group if you try that.

Another option is to open "/scripts/home/local.js" and comment out line 20. Then it will allow all items to be shown.queryArcGISGroup({
  // SETTINGS
  id_group : ymConfig.mapsGroupID,
  searchType : 'Web Map',
  sortField : 'uploaded',
  sortOrder : 'desc',
  pagination: true,
  keywords: keywords,
  perPage : 9,
  perRow : 3,
  searchStart : data_offset,
  // EXECUTED AFTER AJAX IS RETURNED
  callback: function(obj,data){
   buildMapPlaylist(obj,data);
  }
 });

Change searchType : 'Web Map',

to//searchType : 'Web Map',

Let me know if that works for you.

Thanks!
