I have my map on ESRI's generic hosting while I wait for approval to get this on our servers. I have two problems:
1. The title, short_desc, and desc1 fields show, but not the other desc fields.
2. I have two line files for which the pop-ups don't work.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Laurie

By default the Shortlist uses its simple popup without the Details panel. So just include the DETAILS_PANEL=true parameter in the URL you send to our generic hosted instance and it will work:

http://storymaps.esri.com/templates/shortlist/?webmap=97524d1c6f33486c89376088c40e1aae&BOOKMARKS_ALI...

The parameters in the URL just mirror the variables in the config section of the Index.html file, so you can preview and test any of the settings.

So if you want to throw the Locator button on there too, add GEOLOCATOR=true (because it is off by default):

http://storymaps.esri.com/templates/shortlist/?webmap=97524d1c6f33486c89376088c40e1aae&BOOKMARKS_ALI...

and if you want to make a supporting layer clickable, assuming you've given it the Shortlist attributes like an image, etc, specify its name in the SUPPORTING_LAYERS_THAT_ARE_CLICKABLE parameter, because supporting layers are not clickable by default (so that people don't click on features that you've not added the Shortlist attributes to):
