In Story Map Shortlist, is there a way to display a supporting layer only on a certain tab?

I created a shortlist story map and I have a few supporting layers, but I don't want them to be displayed on every tab.

Hi Chaya,

Take a look at this customized Shortlist that has the behavior you described:

They added some code to the function called activateLayer in the main.js file. Basically they are manually setting the visibility of the layers to true or false with Esri's JS API (ArcGIS API for JavaScript ) depending on which tab has been selected. You can view the customized main.js file here:

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't work for me. It appears they may be using a different version of the map.

Mark,

I was trying to customize my main.js to set layer visibility based on tabs, but no luck. I am getting errors below. I also included my main.js. http://www.dogis.org/lm/app/js/main.js

Thank you,

Nataliya

Hi Mark,

I am back to the square one. I am trying to accomplish the same thing (add a specific support layer to each tab) but with the new Shortlist (Beta) template. Have you seem any one doing anything like that.

Thanks,

Nataliya
