In order to change the symbology of the map, you will need to go into the code and create a custom renderer. This requires the developer version of the source code and will require you to install a couple apps to build the code for production use.
Once you have done that, you can open the MapConfig.js (source > app > javascript > playlist > config >MapConfig.js), set the use default renderer variable to false, and fill in a new renderer function in the else statement of the getRenderer function.
Here's the story locator MapConfig.js file to help you out: https://github.com/ssylvia/playlist-storytelling-template-js/blob/world-of-story-maps/source/app/jav...
Once you have it working, you can build your app and publish it on a server.
Hi,
thanks for replying!!
I downloaded the developer version and can see MapConfig.js in the path you mentioned. It doesn't let me open in notepad++ or any editor.
The couple of apps to be downloaded is required for building after I edit the mapconfig right? or do I need these to edit the config file as well.
Please help, I am a little lost here:(
thanks!!
I went ahead and installed all the software you mentioned(phew!)
I made the changes in the mapconfig file and now I am trying to build it. I get the following the "unable to read ".jshintrc" file(error code: ENOENT) .
how do I fix it? please help!!
thanks 🙂
Hi Julie,
I also try to use simple marker symbols for > 4 categories and downloaded the dev-version. However, I´m not sure what apps I have to install additionally? Especially I don´t find where to define the webmap-id within the source code. Any hints?
thanks & best regards
Hi,
Here is the link I followed to install additional apps to setup the developer download on my machine. I could edit it and rebuild it . The link below gives good workflow. I followed it just like that and it worked for me.
Thank you! Well - I followed the steps but when I try to setup the project folder in the git-shell, it says "could locate Gemfile". However, I succesfully installed the gem bundler in C:\rubydev before. Any idea where I´m doing wrong?
Ok - the problem was that I didn´t select the directory where I downloaded the the app´s dev-version. (phew)
Hi Julie, did you finally manage to change the code? I´m not sure where do adapt the MapConfig.js? Would it also be possible to modify the default renderer?
thank you & best regards
