Right, but I think the code from this repository is broken since I can easily configure other Story map templates with the same map id...
Please check the code here:
Esri/map-tour-storytelling-template-js · GitHub
However, this one is easily configured and deployed:
http://links.esri.com/storymaps/map_tour_template_zip
Why are they different?
Ok good, you have the good one. One is for user that just want simple configuration and the other for developers, see Esri/map-tour-storytelling-template-js · GitHub
Hi Andy,
In the time that has passed since your question about the Zoo Babies app the Story Maps Team has released a new version of the Story Map Series template that supports the "bulleted" layout of the Zoo Babies story. You can find more information here.
