Hello, I am writing again to ask a new question arises about me web template: Is there any way to implement this type of map to my maps public gallery? The objective would be for him to be something like in the photo montage that attachment. [ATTACH=CONFIG]13407[/ATTACH] Greetings and thanks for the help Jennifer Hi Jennifer, Something like that should be possible. If the arcgis.com item is a web application that is not a web map, I would have it open in modified copy of the map.html file which takes the web application's URL and puts it into an iframe inside the map.html file. Some HTML/Javascript will be involved to do this. It seems like you're trying to put a web application URL inside of the simple viewer template and the best way I can think of to do that would be to use an iframe. Hope that helps. Thanks ...

Hello, First, congratulations for this web template, will be very useful in the company where I work. I have a suggestion about the template and a couple of questions I hope you can help me; I have attached two images where I mark each question with a letter. First, we had used characters like accents or umlauts and there is a failure and do not appear correctly on "Index.html" (A) The last question is where we can change the labels of some elements, because we want to do our template in Spanish: - The bar text "Search Maps" (B) - The bar text "Locate Maps" and "Switch Basemap" (C) - The text "Layers", "Legend" and buttons "Legend and" About "(D) [ATTACH=CONFIG]13013[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]13014[/ATTACH] Thank you very much for the help, Greetings, Jennifer Hi Jennifer, Great feedback. I'll look into why those characters are not appearing correctly. "Search Maps" is in /scripts/home/local.js "Locate an address" is in map.html "Switch Basemap" is apart of the basemap dijit. http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jsapi_start.htm#jsapi/basemapgallery.htm You should be able to set the locale and have it automatically changed. http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jshelp_start.htm#jshelp/localization.htm "Layers", "Legend" and buttons "Legend and" About " are in map.html I think we could definitely improve this template for i18n support. We might be able to do that in an update and put all the UI elements into a config file. Thanks! ... View more

I have the 1.3 template customized and set up but would like to add the new legend features.  Is there any easy way to add them to 1.3? Hi Leslie, Unfortunately, the 1.3 can't just be upgraded. You'll have to download the 1.4 version and configure it. It's much easier to configure 1.4 though. Thanks ... View more

Greetings from Esri UK, PMG team and forum folk, I was wondering if it would be possible to access additional groups from the right side pane? It would make a great addition to the gallery, since one would be able to access related groups to the opening (main) one. Would you consider such an implementation for future versions? Many thanks and cheers for now. I'll see if we can implement that. It sounds like a useful feature. Thanks for the feedback! ... View more

Greetings from Esri UK team, On the PMG pages for the latest release, 1.4.1, the first line of the changes for this version reads "Support for using the template with private ArcGIS.com groups and items".  Would you please explain how would this implemented? Many thanks in advance. Hi Miguel, 1.4.1 adds support for private groups and private items. So, if you have a group or item on ArcGIS.com that is private, not public, you can use the group or item with this template by generating an ArcGIS.com token which allows access to the private group/item from the URL which you are hosting the template. The tokens are tied to an account, URL and expiration date. You can use the tool that I've created to create a token or you can generate the token yourself using the ArcGIS.com REST API. Hope that makes sense. Thanks ... View more

Hi, I have couple of questions. I have my GIS data organized using ESRI's Local Government Information Model in ArcSDE 10SP3. I will be using ArcGIS server to publish data from ArcSDE. Question1: If I use Public Maps Gallery template to publish maps coming from my ArcGIS server, how are the client requests passed through? If an end user hits the map page, will the request go to ArcGIS.com then routed to my ArcGIS server? Question2: Is it possible to configure multiple searches (address, parcel, subdivision) in public maps gallery? Please let me know if there are any documentation on this topic. Appreciate your help. Thanks VJ 1. Yes, I believe that's how it works. This template uses ArcGIS web maps and items so that information is coming from ArcGIS.com and then gets routed to your server. 2. You may be able to do this but it would require javascript coding to the template. You should be able to replace the search locator with another or add another level to it. Thanks ... View more

Greetings PMG team, Does the app. recognises what viewer is set within a group?  My group has a mixture of web maps set to be viewed with the AGOL Viewer, AGXOL, and one in AGXOL presentation mode.  However, when I point my PMG to the group, all maps are available through the default AGOL viewer only.  This seems to work, as the folks from Ofallon show this works on their implementation of a PMG. In their PMG, the second map in the first page does have the following URL type -> http://explorer.arcgis.com/?open=<webmap id> Am I correct in assuming that the app senses what viewer a map uses and generates the appropriate URL?  Or is this something that needs to be set up manually in the configuration somewhere? If the latter is the case, would you please point me in the right direction on where to set up? Many thanks in advance for the help. Hi Miguel, It doesn't. It doesn't know which viewer to use unfortunately. That may be something you can set with some javascript coding. It would have to detect which kind of ArcGIS item it is and then use the appropriate URL for that item. Currently, it just opens with one viewer and opens external urls without a viewer. Thanks ...

We have been slowly developing our site and have made a few of our maps public and such for testing purposes; they may be seen here: http://www.bexar.org/maps That being said - we are having some rather significant issues with the Android App. 1)  The App fills 'no fill' polygons.  I have not tried to fill it with 100% transparency yet but that may be a work around. 2)  Points are being drawn from the services which should not.  We fine tune all of our symbology but we are getting a lot of red circles with black outlines scattered across the map.  I do not have an android phone in office for testing and will on Friday and will provide more information at that point.  And of course - there may be a workaround but simply - features not being displayed by the service are being displayed by the app.  I presuppose this has to do with features in feature classes not being given symbol (b/c we don't want them drawn anyway) and then the App defaults to the red fill black outline symbol - kind-of like when it fills no fill polys.  Again - I may be able to prescribe an 'all else' symbol w/ 100% transparency as above. 3) We are having problems similar to past iphone issues where the client selects a map on the public map gallery and then is directed always to the first map viewed and unless the user goes into the app and joins our group and then selects the maps off-site without the public maps gallery, the user may only then select a new map and the features will draw.  Otherwise the map often comes up blank. We tested the android app with the site on a Galaxy S and Galaxy SII (4G) I will test the two workarounds but this probably needs to be fixed in the app as it draws fine for apple. Thanks again, DZ Thanks for the feedback David. I'll look into these issues. ... View more

Greetings PMG team, I have noticed that when I click on the "Fullscreen View" button whilst viewing a map, the map is no longer centred in the correct location. Is there a way of adjusting a parameter within the template so that the map centre is maintained whilst switching the map view? Many thanks in advance. Hi Miguel, Yes, that should be possible. It's not currently an option but I'll see if I can get that included in an update. It would just have to find the center of the map before the resize and then reset the center after. Thanks ...

Greetings Maps Gallery fans, I'm implementing a few of these Map Galleries with the latest template, 1.4.1, but I can't find how to display access, or download of the apps for mobile access (similar to what our friends in Texas; Baxter County have done) anywhere. Would someone please point me on the way to activating this functionality? Many thanks in advance. This is currently not a config option so you'll have to add it into the HTML or in the side links yourself. All the links and images of should be in the previous version of the template. 1.3 http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=7a3d8b01e92b41b2b851779b81ffbefa Thanks ... View more

Greetings Public Maps Gallery team,  In the official page for the template, at the very bottom of the template description, there is a statement saying:  "  This template is not intended for ArcGIS Online Organization Subscription accounts when they become available."  However, I have this working with our beta version of AGO for OS. The statement above would seem to indicate that the Public Maps Gallery template would no longer work with the final version of AGO for OS. Would you please elaborate if this indeed will be the case, and why?  Many thanks in advance. Miguel - we put the disclaimer in because at the time that we created the PMG template we couldn't be sure how ArcGIS Online for Organizations would behave with the Gallery. Our main concern was with the Group ID - we didn't know if a Group ID for an Organization account would remain fixed (unchanging). But now the ArcGIS Online team has assured us that "a group ID is valid for the lifetime of the group." Once you create the group, the ID remains the same. Which is great news for PMG template users. The Team cautions that if you delete the group then recreate it and name it the same, the Group may appear the same as before to the end-user but the Group ID will be different. This applies to both the Personal and Organizations side of ArcGIS Online. If this happens to the Group used by the PMG template, you'll need to edit the config file with the new Group ID. Thank you for bringing this question to the forum. Others have been asking similar questions. We will remove the disclaimer. ... View more

Here are the beginnings of our site: http://www.bexar.org/maps Is there any way to control the order the maps are listed?  Thanks again, DZ Hey David, Looks good! Yes, you can change that in the optional settings. // FIELD TO ORDER YOUR GROUP BY pmgConfig.sortField = 'uploaded'; // SORTING COLUMN= The allowed field names are title, uploaded, type, owner, avgRating, numRatings, numComments and numViews. Default: 'uploaded'. ... View more

Greetings all, I have just become aware of the existence of the 1.4 version of the Public Maps Gallery template.  One thing that I have noticed in version 1.3.1 a couple of days ago, and that still has not been pointed out, as far as I know is that the maps don't propagate their watermarks!  So if I have a look at a map within ArcGIS Online which contains a basemap such as OSM, I see the following: [ATTACH=CONFIG]11873[/ATTACH] However, in the map gallery for the same map there is no copyright watermark.  How can this be resolved? Many thanks in advance. Hi Miguel, The ArcGIS Online development team is aware of this issue and has identified it as a future enhancement. The timing hasn�??t been established. Thank you ...
