I have interested the Map Journal Story map to demonstration. I have my own portal for arcgis 10.2.1 and I need to deploy Map Journal Story map on my portal. I have done the following step....

  1. download the file from http://links.esri.com/storymaps/map_journal_template_zip
  2. Unzip and copy to the \arcGIS\portal\webapps\arcgis#home\webmap\templates\MapJournal\.
  3. Open my portal home > My content > add item as Application > put the URL as "https://arcgis/apps/MapJournal/index.html"
  4. And share the item to the group that I have created.
  5. My organization > Edit setting > and Use the group that I have created for WebApp gallery template
  6. Create and Save Web Map
  7. Share > Make web application and Publish in Map Journal Template > Keep it in my content
  8. Open the application that I have created , But It doesn't go the "Map Journal Builder"

Just this!

I know that It have more things to configure. But I don't know how.

Please Suggest Me

Hi,

As Anthony pointed out, please try to edit the JS API version to use the one provided by your Portal or //js.arcgis.com/3.9/ (it is a know issue that Map Journal won't work with JS API 3.10 on Portal before 10.3).

If still not ok please let me know what's the specific issue you have and if you have any error in the developer console. Also if you can try to directly access the application using a URL like https://arcgis/apps/MapJournal/index.htm?fromScratch you may see a different behavior.

Have you looked at the documentation here:

https://github.com/Esri/map-journal-storytelling-template-js#instructions

Specifically:

Can I deploy Map Journal on Portal for ArcGIS?

Yes, Map Journal is included with Portal for ArcGIS starting at version 10.3.

If you are using a previous version of Portal, you will have to deploy Map Journal in the following folder ArcGIS\Portal\webapps\arcgis#home\webmap\templates\MapJournal. If this folder already contain a previous version, make sure to first delete all of its content. Then refer your Portal documentation for instructions on publishing a new web application item and adding it to the web application gallery. If you choose to deploy the template in another folder, some configuration will be required (see the configuration section in index.html).

Then you should configure Map Journal to use the JavaScript API deployed on your Portal and not the one hosted by ArcGIS Online. This is optional but strongly recommended as some incompatibility may occur. To change the JavaScript API, edit index.html and locate pathJSAPI around line 100.

Also note that the web application gallery preview feature redirects to the StoryMaps website, the target page can be modified in app/config.js > HELP_URL.

Yes, I had looked at it already.and try to do it but it is not succesful.

For a specific question....

After I have deploy Map Journal in ArcGIS\Portal\webapps\arcgis#home\webmap\templates\MapJournal. Why I don't see it in the default webapp gallery template??

Too bad.

It is the expected behavior that you don't see the app in the gallery after you copy it.

You have to create the group and configure the Portal to  use it as you described. Do you see it in the gallery now?

What's the error you have when you use the link https://arcgis/apps/MapJournal/index.htm?fromScratch‌ ?
