relative links in Map Tour

[DouglasMcVarish]

I am working on a series of walking tours of several Colorado communities. The Map Tour will be included as a part of a larger cross-platform app. Using HTML5, is there any way that I can link from a Map Tour Place description to another screen in the app in which more information/photographs/videos, etc. are displayed?

I tried the standard <a href="x.html">more</a> but that does not work because the starting point is an ArcGIS address. Thanks for any assistance youu are able to provide.

If you are simply including tags in your captions in order to launch more information, they should normally be absolute URLs not relative ones because relative links are appended to the root of the app, which in the case of the hosted map tour app will be the ArcGIS Online root. (If you are deploying a map tour via  by downloading the app and self-hosting it you will have access to the root). Either way use the target = _blank tag in your hyperlink to ensure that the link is launched in another browser tab so the user doesn't lose theirplace in the tour.

Some authors are customizing the app to add additional ways of providing information from inside the app. An advanced example of this I saw this week is http://ims.kiel.de/extern/storymaps/Kollhorst/ which is one of 6 customized nature trail tours on this page: http://www.kiel.de/leben/umwelt/naturschutz/naturpfade.php
