Hi, I am just wondering, is there a way to add a current location option/button to my shortlist map. I am thinking, it will be cool for the users to have an option to see where they are on the map and what is around them. Thank You.

Hi Saiful
We are going to be including the option to turn on the Locator button in the next update to the Shortlist template. We hope to make this update within the next three weeks and I'll post another reply to your question when it becomes available and also tweet about it on https://twitter.com/EsriStoryMaps

Last night we released the update to the Shortlist download that features the option for authors to turn on a Locator button in the UI. This is off by default. To enable it, set the new GEOLOCATOR variable in the Config section of the Index.html file to true instead of false. This update also includes a new responsive design.

The link to the download on the Shortlist page: http://storymaps.arcgis.com/en/app-list/shortlist will now give you the updated Shortlist zip file. To try it out the updated Shortlist click the San Diego Shortlist screenshot on the page above or launch it here: http://storymaps.esri.com/stories/shortlist-sandiego/. If you are working on a desktop or laptop machine, you can resize your web browser window to see the responsive design. If you open that link on a smartphone or tablet it will adjust accordingly.
