What do I need to do when I enter the url into the Group ID Finder tool and no groups are found? I just created a new group within the last hour. I opened the group, copied the URL and pasted it into the Group ID Finder. Is there a delay or might I be doing something wrong?

Hi sirianne, can you make sure that your group is set to public? There shouldn't be any delay. Make sure that the group title and user are in the URL. Thanks

Hi, the video for editing this template is great! One question though: How do I change the words: Maps and Layers in the heading and the links under Layers heading on the right of the Index page? Also, I am able to correctly have my group show (using the group ID finder); however, when I click on the individual pages, the maps never load. Any thoughts on this? Thanks again!

Greetings, samllje wrote on the 12 of Sept, "...,the video for editing this template is great!". Would it be possible to get the link to said video? Also, is there any further documentaion on how to set up this as a part of the my ArcGIS on line? Right now, I can see the single map that I have shared, as lon as I share it with Everyone, but not with my group. But I can only see this page If I open it localy from my machine. How do I make it available to people that have access to my group? Many thanks in advance.

The video shows several California maps added from the group and a "next page" button. Only three maps are added from my group and no "next page" button. A TWEET link is sitting up close to my displayed maps where a "next page" button should be. Is there some sizing/spacing issue?

beardogklein, I don't think there is an issue. The pagination will only show if you have more than 9 maps by default.

Hi beardogklein, If you change line #20 on "/scripts/home/local.js" from "web map" to "map" it will show all your maps. http://bit.ly/qIX2i5

Thanks Esri_webmap. Changing line 20 seems to work!

I am getting an error message that a script is causing the browser to run slowly - tried IE, FireFox, Chrome - all of them have problems showing the template. The Original template shows - the error happens once I put my group ID. Tried two different groups on two different websites. Any solution?

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?
