I can't reproduce this. Can you share your web map with everyone and post the URL to it here? thanks, Mike ... View more

I think we may be talking about different "templates" here... Here's what you can do from arcgis.com. You can author a web map and share it with a group. You can download a web application template from the Share button on the Map Viewer. You can 'Publish' that application to arcgis online if you don't have a web server, or you can 'Download' it to deploy to your own server. The advantage of downloading is that you have the source code and can modify the application. However, some of these template are configurable without programming. Because your map is not shared with everyone, any user who is a member of the group it is shared with can sign in with their Esri Global ID and access the application. The attached image shows where in the Map Viewer you'll find these template applications. Thanks, Mike ... View more

There is no way to turn that off at this time. This will be addressed in an upcoming release in December. Basically, if a layer is editable, then this is a catch-all category for features that are not one of the specified types. We'll allow you to disable editing on a layer and you won't see this entry in the legend. However, if you enable editing, you'll still see it. Thanks, Mike ... View more

The only workflow that currently supports what you want to do is to use ArcGIS server to host a map or feature service that gets updated weekly. Any changes to the service will automatically appear in the web map. In the future, we will be adding support for these workflows: You will be able to add a CSV file on the web by reference. Whenever a web map is opened, the CSV file will be read again and any changes will appear in the map. CSVs support point locations. This will be released in early December. You will be able to purchase a subscription to ArcGIS Online that will allow you to create services from your data. The current plan is to release this in the second quarter 2012. Thanks, Mike ...

Maybe I'm not understanding what you need. This is what I think you are trying to do... You have created a web map and shared with a group in ArcGIS Online. You have downloaded a template application (from the Share button on the map viewer). You have installed the template application on your web server and pointed it to the ID of your web map. The problem is that your web map is not shared with everyone, so it doesn't draw. Here's my answer to the above, which still may not be the answer you're looking for... When did you download the template application? You may need to download it again. They have been updated within the last month to handle authentication of a user. Basically, when you run the application, the application will prompt you to sign in using your login to arcgis.com. As long as the user logged in is a member of the private group, they should be able to see the map. The underlying new feature that handles this in the API is the Identity Manager. Documentation on that can be found here. http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jssamples_start.htm#jssamples/widget_identitymanager.html If the above is not the case, perhaps you can post more information.

you might try using the Custom option when configuring the popup for the shapefile. Currently, you'll need to use ArcGIS Explorer Online to edit the web map and configure the popup as the ArcGIS.com Map Viewer doesn't currently expose this capability for shapefiles (it will in the future). However once the popup is configured, ArcGIS.com map viewer should display it correctly. Other than that, you might try creating your own application with the JavaScript API. Thanks, Mike ...

Did you see the 8th post here? http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/27946-using-secure-ArcGIS-Server-services?p=148818&viewfull=1#post148818 Hopefully this works for you. Thanks, Mike ... View more

Typically, the first record of the CSV contains the names of the fields. I guess the author of help assumed people know that. We can try to make that more clear in the documentation. Thanks, Mike ... View more

Unfortunately, that is not the URL...you need to open your map from 'My Content' then the ID number of the map will be part of the URL The shapefile has to have UTF-8 characters in it. I am not an expert in this area. A colleague pointed me to this knowledge base article... http://support.esri.com/en/knowledgebase/techarticles/detail/21106 Hope this helps, Mike ... View more

You need to add a header line to the file that defines the fields lat,long 16.02,23.45 -12.33,9.34 Thanks, Mike ... View more

Shapefiles and CSVs added directly to the map don't currently support all the popup configuration options. It's on the list of things to do, however. Thanks, Mike ... View more

For some reason, the shapefile has no geometry for record 14...last name Farmer. This was causing an error when attempting to display the popups. I removed the record in ArcMap and was able to display the popups. See attached file. Thanks, Mike ... View more

You'll need to remove that item and add it again, then it should work. We store information about the service so we don't have to get the capabilities every time and can directly request an image. However, since the URL to GetMap was wrong, that's why it doesn't work. Thanks, Mike ... View more

I can see your WMS service in both arcgis.com and arcgis explorer online now. Try clearing your browser cache. What browser are you using? thanks, Mike ... View more

Popups are supported on shapefiles. I don't know why it didn't work for you. Can you share your shapefile here? You should have a ZIP file already that represents your shapefile. The ZIP file should contain all associated files of the shapefile (ie., SHP, PRJ, DBF, SHX...). Thanks, Mike ... View more
