I was wondering if it would be possible to carry the map legend along with the map when you select the "Full Screen" option?

Yes, that's very possible. It would require changing a few styles in the CSS.

can you describe how to go about doing that?  Or would this be an enhancement done by ESRI?

Sure. This may be something we do in the next version but for modifications like this, it's best if you have some familiarity with CSS and HTML.

In global.css on line 620, if you comment out or remove the following code:

.fullScreen .dataLayers {
    display:none !important;
}

And then add this code:

.fullScreen #legendMenu{
      position:absolute;
      z-index:999;
      top:50px;
      right:50px;
      background:#fff;
      padding:20px;
      border:1px solid #ccc;
      moz-border-radius: 6px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 6px;
    border-radius: 6px;
}

That should be what you were thinking. Although it probably needs to be styled a little better 🙂

Let me know if that is what you were thinking and if you were able to get it to work.

Thanks

Thank you so very much!  I will try it.

Any chance we will get the ability to consume private maps, layers and groups through the Public Maps Gallery Template?  Many organizations have infrastructure data that can't be shared with the general public and needs to be somewhat secure - utilities, public safety layers, etc. 

This is the one shortcomings I see with the new Public Maps Gallery Template capabilities - we need the ability to use this great tool, but restrict its view to specific users instead of enabling it for 'Everyone' and making the group 'public'. 

I want a specific group that I have set up to be able to use the gallery, but can't do this right now. 

Thanks!

Thanks so much for the response. I just changed to a different basemap.

Hi Jeri,

It looks like you need to enter a Bing Maps key in the config.js file. That's why the maps are not loading. The one you have there uses a Bing basemap.

Thanks for your thoughts and ideas.  The scope of the Public Maps Gallery Template is limited to publicly available maps.  The functionality you suggest is appropriate for a future product under development that was announced as ArcGIS Online for Organizations at the 2011 User Conference.  (This isn�??t the final name.)  ArcGIS for Organizations Beta invites will be sent to people participating in the ArcGIS 10.1 Beta in the next two months.  That would be your opportunity to test the functionality and see if it meets your needs.

BTW, the UC demo of this functionality is available on video.  Start at 23:00.
