Hello,

I'm currently working with the Carousel viewer.  Can I change the number of maps displayed?

I have about 16 maps available for everyone, but only 10 display.

If so, what file do I modify?

Thanks,

Hi jprado,

If you open "/scripts/carousel/local.js" right near the top you will see a function queryCarousel().

You need to add the following code into that function call.

perPage: 999,
perRow: 999,

It should look like this:

/*------------------------------------*/
// QUERY CAROUSEL
/*------------------------------------*/
function queryCarousel(){
 queryArcGISGroup({
  // SETTINGS
  id_group : ymConfig.mapsGroupID,
  searchType : 'Web Map',
  sortField : 'title',
  pagination: false,
  sortOrder : 'asc',
  perPage: 999,
  perRow: 999,
  // EXECUTED AFTER AJAX IS RETURNED
  callback: function(obj,data){
   console.log(data);
   buildCarousel(obj,data);
  }
 });
}

Set perPage and perRow to however many you would like to show.

Let me know if that fixes it for you.

Thanks

Thank you!  It works just fine.

In PM Gallery 1.4 how do you adjust what appears in the 'About' tab in the simple map viewer?  Currently no text displays when the tab is clicked.  Ideally, I would like map descriptions and the username that submits the map to appear.  Thanks for any help you can provide.

*This function seemed to work in the Carousel view of PMG 1.3

Hi Jacob,

That text comes from the webmap on ArcGIS.com. You will need to edit the webmap and enter the about text on arcigs online for it to show up.

I just attended the extending ArcGIS seminar yesterday and have set up my Public Maps Gallery.  I would like to change a few things on the template.

First, is there a way to change the featured map links on the right side of the page?  While having a link to Earthquake centers in the Yukon might be important to someone, it might not be what I want to display to my group here in NH.

My other problem is changing the Photoshop document that displays the headers and footers.  This is proving to be very difficult without Photoshop.  Any way around that?

Hi nashua,

Here is an updated version of this template if you're interested. It is easier to configure.

Thanks for the link to release 1.4.  How will this affect my current install.  Can I just install over the existing application and overwrite exissting files?

Unfortunately, no. You'll have to create a new instance.

I have downloaded and am using version 1.4 of the public maps gallery.  I can see my maps that are in my public folder but when I try to access one of them I get this message in a sign in dialogue box item:00fa59c037aa49bd9a2642f5f12dec0b

I originally created the maps gallery in version 1.3 and maps that are in there created with that version still work.

Do I need to create the Maps Gallery again with version 1.4?  I also can't seem to find the Group ID finder now.  Is it hidden somewhere?

Hi Angelo,

Yes, you will have to do it again with 1.4.

The group id finder tool is here: http://www.esri.com/public-maps-gallery/group-id-tool/index.html
