volkermell, I'm not seeing that with the groups that I've used. Could you give me your group ID or email address so we can figure out what the problem is?

Esri_webmap, visit http://newmdcgis.mdc.mo.gov/public-m...ery/index.html and see the issue. I've got many maps not displaying.

I've just configured the gallery template for our city. The maps are a combination of our Flex map apps and a bunch of basic ArcGIS.com maps, so thanks for fixing the template to let them live together. http://maps.rockvillemd.gov/gallery Just one question for now. I've left off the Facebook and Twitter buttons since it wasn't clear to me what they were supposed to do or what configuration is required. Are they supposed to work as is, or do I need to do set up something? Thanks. -- Marc

Hi Marc, Yes, the Twitter, Facebook and Google+ buttons should work as is. They work off of your page's URL but are easy to remove if you don't want them. Thanks!

When using the Group ID Finder I keep getting 'No groups were found' in the results dialog. Yet I have selected the available web maps in my group and the syntax follows the default syntax shown on the Group ID Finder page. My group and all web maps are set to public access. Any ideas?

bharen - If you're still having problems here's another way to get your groups ID: Right click on the group image and view or copy it's URL. The ID is in the URL of the image. http://bit.ly/mZeMhn http://bit.ly/rrwwPZ

bharen -- I had the same problem with the Group ID Finder and guessed that it was the name of my group causing problems (lots of character substitutions in the URL string). So, I temporarily shortened the name, successfully ran the Finder, and then changed the name back.

Rockville, Thanks, but the unusual thing is that the ID finder worked just fine aganst the same groups yesterday, but not today. Something change in the app?

I'm having grid view formatting problems when the map titles have varying lengths. I've edited the home\local.js to extend the title truncation but now the rows don't wrap well. Can't seem to find a way to fix this. Any ideas? http://maps.rockvillemd.gov/gallery

Hi Rockville - Yes, it looks like because they are 2 lines they don't line up in the grid. Here's what you can do: Change the height of the title in CSS so that they are all the same. Let me know if that works for you. http://bit.ly/oM9YFL
