Show local basemap on global app

GeorgeKhristoforov — Thu, 21 Oct 2021 14:50:53 GMT

In our work we use specialized basemaps and we want them to be available to global users. Now such users have access to a list of all basemaps - not local ones of our organization as we want. We have already seen similar topics on the forum, but a custom widget from one of the topics does not give results. Maybe there is an updated version of it or another solution?

Sounds like you want to create a custom basemap gallery for your organization? Here is a link to a tutorial:

The custom gallery is already there, now we want to make it available to global users without authorization

Then you would just share it Publicly. If you keep it to the organization level or group level, you would require a login.

To share it publicly, go to the group and click "Settings" tab, then change the group membership and/or designation settings.

The settings of the group and all base maps are already set as global

Can you show me where you are currently sharing this list with global users? It may be a setting in your web application.

Settings of ExB app global too.

When we use the preview in ExB, local maps are displayed in the basemap list, but when the application is published there is a standard list

Go to your organization settings, under the "Map" section, change the Basemap gallery group. This should change which basemap is used when creating web applications. Not sure if it will update in your current web application. Maybe try a new one to test after you change the settings?

The problem is that local basemaps work only for authorized users, and if you open app globally without authorization in list avelibale only standart basemaps.

for new applications, the same problem: local basemaps are not selected for global users

@GeorgeKhristoforov

What web application are you using? I want to see if I can reproduce this issue on my end.

Experiece Builder. Try to publish any app and open it with incognito mode on yur browser.

I did what you said and I published a blank map in the experience building which has all my basemaps that I configured for use in my basemap gallery. Here is the app, try and see if you can see it:

I see all standart basemaps on this list.

@GeorgeKhristoforov

Yes... i see the same thing too. This doesn't make sense since all my items in the basemap gallery are shared, marked as authoritative, and even shared to open data. Question... do you have to use the experience builder? I know there is a way to customize the basemap in the web app builder to show your custom basemaps.

Unfortunately, we need an experience builder.

I think I have a solution for you! I created a web app in the classic web map and web app viewer where I customized my basemap settings. I copied the URL from the web app. I then created a blank experience builder and used the embed widget to paste my URL from the web app. It now shows my web app viewer with custom basemap selector in the experience builder!

It's very nice, but all other widgets (lists, filters, tabs) in our ExB app configure with map. We can't use our settings with embed widget.
