I'm working on a story map for field planning and ran into a couple of issues.
and if that's not possible, could esri consider enabling info capabilities in storymaps (the potentially more difficult solution)?
Hi Heather,
I was looking into this workflow today and the reason the images appear broken in the popup is because the pic_URL field does not have the required token needed to display the image. This might happen if your feature service is not shared publicly.
We create these fields in the Map Tour template and generate the token (if private or shared to the org) within our application in order for the images to appear the way we want to. Exposing the short-lived token in the field would be a security risk and also wouldn't dynamically update after a given amount of time.
Two solutions to this problem could be:
1.) Hosting the images in your web server and then using our CSV template for Map Tour to reference the URLs to these images in the pic_URL field of the CSV will retain them when it gets converted into a feature service.
OR
2.) Sharing the feature layer you currently have publicly.
I'd request that you upvote the following idea: https://community.esri.com/ideas/9669 since this workflow would be a lot simpler to just view the attachment as an image in the popup.
Thanks,
Aravind
