Hi Julie, did you make sure to download the developer download and follow all these instruction: GitHub - Esri/playlist-storytelling-template-js: A storytelling template that organizes point data sets from a CSV file …? The error you're getting appears that you never ran "bundle install" or that you have not installed ruby or the bundle installer appropriately. If you're on windows, you should also make sure you are using a command line program that provides access to the ruby commands. You should be able to run "ruby -v" and "bundle -v" to see the version numbers of each program installed.
And here's an additional zip file of marker symbols that may be useful. Several authors have made additional marker symbols and kindly shared them with us.

Hi Stephen,
Would you mind to pinpoint exactly where to modify the Playlist codes in order to allow for more than 99 points please? I've put all the extended numbered marker symbols that Rupert created in the same folder as the rest of 1-99 numbered icons by color. But still can't find where to modify the codes to include them.
Thank you very much in advance!
Emily
Emily,
The first thing you'll need to do is make sure you are using the developer download of the Playlist app. Instructions for setting up your computer for testing your app, building it for production, and source code are available here: Esri/playlist-storytelling-template-js · GitHub.
After you have added the additional photo icons to the correct folder, open up the MapConfig.js file (source > app > javascript > playlist > config > MapConfig.js). On line 19 you can increase the 'maxAllowablePoints' variable. Then make sure you build you app for production before deploying to your server.
A similar issue regarding the playlist template has been discussed here:
How to use simple markers to show six categories?
Stehpen,
Thank you very much for your quick reply. I've downloaded the js developer version of the Playlist app, increased the 'maxAllowablePoints' variable from 99 to 700 on line 19 from the MapConfig.js file (source > app > javascript > playlist > config > MapConfig.js), and updated the webmap ID and other minor things from the index.html file (deploy > index.html). But I still cannot link them together and make the two files talk to each other? The webapp result still gives me up to 99 features. I'm sorry that I'm not a developer, and I've followed the instructions and downloaded all the needed files (Git, Ruby, Ruby Dev Kit, Node) many many times, but I'm still stuck and sort of confused from here on:
and it gave me this error message from the Git Shell commend prompt:
Thank you very much for your time here and any help is greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Looks like you are not in the github-shell? Depending on where you have installed github it should show somethihng like: C:\Users\...\GitHub>
You can start the Git-Shell directly from the start-menu or in Git via right-click on the repository where you saved the files of the dev-version.
Also, make sure you are running these commands from within the project directory that contains the playlist files. Here’s a trick to get there easily: http://lifehacker.com/5989434/quickly-open-a-command-prompt-from-the-windows-explorer-address-bar
Thank you both Flo and Stephen for your replies.
I think I'm still confused on where to run what. Am I supposed to setup project folder (run 'bundle install', 'npm install -g grunt-cli', 'npm install') in the GitHub location or where I cloned the project?
I tried both environments...but none of them seem to work when I got to 'bundle exec middleman' :
Another dumb question please... am I supposed to modify the codes and do my edits after running 'npm install' but before running 'bundle exec middleman'?
Thank you tremendously again!
You will need to "set up you project folder" where you cloned the project (location in your first screenshot) but you will need to be using the Git Shell and not just the normal command line. If you type in "git" you should see a list of commands. This will indicate that you are using the correct command line tool.
From there, you will want to run the 4 commands that are in "setup project folder" section. This will install the dependent files and apps to test and build your app.
Then you can run 'bundle exec middleman' and open http://0.0.0.0:4567/ when that is running. The runs a local server on your computer that displays a test version of your app. When this is running, modify the source files and refresh your browser to see changes.
When you have all the changes in place, run 'bundle exec middleman build' to create a deployable version of your app.
Thank you once again for your responses. You guys are probably tired of me. I apologize.
I've followed your steps and I think this time I'm using Git Shell, right? (Not just right-click > Open from the Git Shell icon).
Instead,
Then, I think I've gotten through setting project folder part, but when I tried to run 'bundle exec middleman', it says that I'm missing dependency 'wdm' and http://0.0.0.0:4567/ webpage is not available.
Thank you for your time again,
Hi Emily, I get the same error, but http://localhost:4567/ loads fine anyway, so this should not be a problem.
According your screenshots you are starting the Git-Shell correctly. Maybe you could repeat these steps with the original files (that´s what I did for testing right now): Download the playlist-dev-verion from Github, save it to a new directory, link it in Git as repository and follow the steps under "setup project folder".
best regards,
Thank you. Yes, maybe I should repeat all the steps from the beginning at another computer.

Hello,
Both the links don't work for some reason. Is the zip folder still available for download ? It says the site is down .
Thanks,
Julie
Looks like this one still works: http://links.esri.com/storymaps/numbered_marker_symbols.
