Unfortunately, there is no way to disable zooming on the map. Maybe instead of embedding the map, you can simply take a snapshot as an image and display the image instead? Thanks, Mike ... View more

Currently, if you want to add your data over the arcgis.com web map, it has to be a GIS server (specifically, ArcGIS Server). However, arcgis.com also supports several file types for upload and download. You can find out more in this help topic: Supported Content. Thanks, Mike ... View more

How about this? http://resources.arcgis.com/content/web/about http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/web-mapping/index.html Of course, I may be a bit biased... Mike ... View more

Shapefiles are not supported for direct upload to arcgis.com. Thanks, Mike ... View more

The link seems to be working for me... Maybe there was a temporary problem with blogger? Mike ... View more

Since you are going through HTTPS, you should edit index.html in a text editor and change any http references to the serverapi to https. There are 3 lines and they have this string in it... http://serverapi.arcgisonline.com/jsapi... Change the http to https. You may also need to change the basemap. Open street map doesn't support https. So if you pick one of the ESRI basemaps, you can manually add it referencing https. If you reply with which basemap you want to use, I can provide the URL and how to manually add it as the basemap. Mike ... View more

I am able to view your web application. In Firefox, however, I do see a browser warning that the site contains "unauthenticated content". Could it be that your browser is somehow restricting the display? Mike ... View more

The visible display range of a map is determined by the basemap. In one map, you are using the USA Topo basemap. In the other, you are using the World Topo basemap. The USA Topo is cached to 16 levels of detail and has a maximum scale of 1:18055. The World Topo map is cached to 20 levels of detail and has a maximum scale of 1:1128. This is why with the map that uses the World Topo, you can zoom in more. While you can change the basemap in your "TNCHawaii test 3" map, there is currently a bug that the zoom slider doesn't change in the map, so it will still reflect the visible scale range of the USA Topo basemap even though you change it to the World Topo basemap. So, you will need to recreate your map, starting with the World Topo basemap. Thanks, Mike ... View more

Aimee, You can use the ArcGISFileHandler utility to set the directory to unpack layers. You'll find the executable here: C:\Program Files\Common Files\ArcGIS\bin\ArcGISFileHandler.exe At the bottom of the dialog, you can set the location to unpack packages. Thanks, Mike ... View more

Jessica, It seems you are trying to publish a service to your GIS Server. When you say you are using the World Street Map, can you be more specific? Are you trying to reference a map service inside your MXD, then trying to publish this to your GIS server? If you are, ArcGIS Server doesn't support this. Also, you might check the log files on your GIS server to see if there is any additional information. (ArcGIS Server Manager lets you look at the log files.) Thanks, Mike ... View more

Attachments to features (including images) are displayed as hyperlinks only in the pop-up window; they are not visualized in the pop-up window. When you click on the link, the attachment is then downloaded for use on your computer, much like you download any file. The images that you can display in a pop-up are not stored with the feature as attachments and are only available in the particular map you are authoring. You specify that you want to add an image to the pop-up and reference a URL to the image on the web. Typically, you would have some information in your attributes that would allow the image to be unique per feature. For example, say you have a city layer, with a field called "name" that identified the city. Then, when you add the image to the popup, you might define the URL using the name field... http://www.someserver.com/images/{name}.jpg Then, in your pop-up, you'd get a unique picture for each city that was clicked on. Of course, if you didn't include the field attribute, the image would never be unique. In the future, we might be able to display the feature attachments that are images directly in the pop-up, but for now we can't. Hope this explains things better, Mike ... View more

Mellissa, Glad you were able to solve your issue. The solution you found is for when you are creating your own web mapping application with ArcGIS Server Manager. For those that want to enable pop-ups in their web maps in ArcGIS.com, it's now available. Right-click a layer to reveal a context menu and enable pop-ups. If you don't see this option, you're not yet accessing the actual layer inside the service. Click on the layer to expand it and reveal its sub-layers. Thanks, Mike ... View more

Nothing has changed in this area, so it should be working as it did before. Are you using a different basemap? Each basemap has its own scale range. Can you share your map publicly and tell us exactly what you are doing so we can try to reproduce the problem? Thanks, Mike ... View more

We did consider enabling popups on all layers by default. However, it would have been too much of a performance hit on the server. Also, our goal is for map authors to be thoughtful about what information they want to display to an end user.  For a GIS analyst, they may be fine with a long list of attributes. However, a casual user would appreciate a more "authored" view of information. As I mentioned before, we do plan on pushing the authoring of pop-ups into the item that references a map service, so when the item does get added to a map, it will already have a pop-up definition. Ultimately, we want to allow people to define it at the service level too. So when the service gets added to arcgis.com, it will already have a pop-up defined. Thanks, Mike ... View more

Vanessa, Did you explicitly register your global ID with ArcGIS Online? You need to do this first.  The reason you have to register is because when you do, you get a workspace with up to 2 GB of free storage where you can add GIS items. We don't allocate this space until you register. To register, do this: From the ArcGIS.com website, click the Sign In link on the upper right. Click the Register your Esri Global Account link underneath Not a Member? Enter your Esri Global account user name and password and click Register. Read the terms of use and click the I Accept button to agree to the terms. Once you accept the terms of use, you are automatically signed in to ArcGIS.com. Now, you should be able to sign in from ArcGIS Desktop. Thanks, Mike ... View more
