Popups in the Map Tour app

[CONABIONC_for_Knowledge_and_Us]

Dear all,

It seems that the Map-Tour app doesn´t use the default AGOL-popups, as the other Story Map apps do (I think about popups that appear when you click on a point symbol). Is there a way to activate them?

thank you & best regards,

Flo

Hi,

Disabling regular popup in Map Tour is a very deliberate decision to keep the app simple.

There is a simple way to activate regular popup for all layers but the Map Tour point layer (/the layer that is driving the tour).

You would have to follow the developer documentation and turn that variable to false (storymaps/core/Core.js > loadWebMap > ignorePopups).

This can works well or not so well depending on your data.

Like if you enable popup on polygon surface that contains your Map Tour point data, when you click on a Map Tour point, both popup will appear.

If this is your case, that's something you could fix by digging the Javascript API.

It should not be so hard to enable regular popup on the Map Tour point layer but that's not something we want to support.

Let us know with what you end up

Hi Gergory, thank you for the information - I guess we ´ll keep the default version.

Here are two examples of map tours that have been customized to add popup support:

SANDAG:

These both also have been given a legend too
