Yes, you can display images you upload to My Content in popups. However, I would not suggest the TIFF format, as not all web browsers can display TIFF images (notable exceptions include Chrome and Firefox). You're probably better off with JPG. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_browsers#Image_format_support To get the URL to an image in My Content, you need to share the image with everyone first. Once you do so, you'll notice on the item details page a property called Image URL. It will look like this: http://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/items/393fc90d7a0246c39e678504589daceb/data This is the URL to the image. You can add this link when defining an image in a popup. Now, if you want a unique image for every feature, you will need to have a field (column) in your attributes that lists the ID (the number part above) and you can use the variable substitution to generate the URL.  Thanks, Mike ...

What usernames are you trying to delete? You can send me a private message if you like and we can check what the problem is. Are you sure you've removed all content in all folders? Admittedly, the process is laborious. But, we don't want people to inadvertently delete users and possibly important content. Thanks, Mike ... View more

As of the last update to ArcGIS Online in December 2013, if you have a subscription, you can add a custom locator to your organization. http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/arcgisonline/index.html#/Configure_utility_services/010q000000ts000000/ Thanks, Mike ... View more

Sounds like you have the wrong URL to the image. You need a URL like this: http://www.esri.com/~/media/Images/Content/homepage/features/green.jpg where the image displays alone on the page. You can't use a URL that points to a Flickr web page, like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/belowred/11799423055/in/explore-2014-01-06 The last time I tried to use Flickr, they didn't provide any links on their web pages to get the actual image URL. They also had different sized images for displaying in galleries, etc. In general, I think Flickr wants you to view images on their web page, not embedded elsewhere. If your URL doesn't go directly to the .jpg image, then it won't work. I think there may be a way to find out the actual URL, but I can't tell you how to do it. Thanks, Mike ... View more

We can reproduce the problem. Very strange. Will this web map be available publicly for us to research it? Thanks, Mike ... View more

you will just need to put https in the field value for the URL to your images. It should just work. However, your images must be publicly accessible. If you have to sign in in order to see your images, it may work for you in your own browser, but it won't work for others who view your map. Thanks, Mike ... View more

First, aggressively clear your browser cache in chrome "since the beginning of time". https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95582?hl=en&ref_topic=14666 it could also be that you have mixed secured content with unsecured content (https vs http). Chrome is a bit more aggressive at quietly blocking content that is http, when the page is https. Can you share your map with everyone and post the URL here? Mike ... View more

Layer packages can only be uploaded and downloaded for desktop use. They can't be added as layers to a web map. You're basically just using online as a file storage system. When you add a shapefile or CSV to My Content, you have the option to publish it as a feature layer (hosted). This layer can be edited online and you can set symbology and other properties. If your idea is to update your local shapefile and post it back, that won't work, as you will need to wipe out the feature layer, thus losing your symbology. THe assumption with this workflow is that your feature layer online *is* your most current data and you store it online. Any client, like arcgis.com or desktop can edit the online layer directly. If you want to maintain your local data on your computer as the main source and periodically push it online, I think this workflow may work for you. You can publish data from desktop, which also creates online layers, via the file menu, share as option. Here, you author a map with layers in it. Arcmap lets you define symbology for the layers that will appear online, and as long as the symbolgy is supported on the web (e.g., not complex multi layered symbols). This may be an option to explore, as the publishing process does have an update option. It still wipes out the existing layer online, but because you have the symbology defined in arcmap, it should transfer up to arcgis online. I've personally not used this workflow much, so I'm not an expert in this area. Hope this helps, Mike ... View more

The concatenation of the field variables must form a valid URL. In your screenshots, it looks like: Photo1 = PictureA URL = http://xxx.com/xxx (I assume, though I can't see your URL) So, when you concatenate these, you put {photo1} in front of the {URL}, thus the concatenation result is: PictureAhttp://xxx.com/xxx This is not a valid URL. If you instead did {URL}{Photo1} it may work. Make sure you have the appropriate forward slash at the end in {URL} to make a valid URL. URL = http://xxx.com/xxx/ (the ending foward slash would be needed to make a valid URL) Photo1 = PictureA Resulting URL: http://xxx.com/xxx/PictureA thanks, Mike ... View more

How are you getting your data online? If you have your own ArcGIS Server and are referencing one of your services, then as the data is updated, it will just show up in a web map. If you have a subscription to ArcGIS Online, you can host your data in ArcGIS online an update it directly by adding features to your online dataset.  In the Map Viewer of ArcGIS Online, you can edit the data directly. From ArcMap, you can "create a local copy for editing" and when finished, upload the changes back to the feature layer in ArcGIS Online. If you are uploading shapefiles or CSVs into ArcGIS Online (not hosted as a feature layer), and want to reload a shapefile when it changes, you are effectively wiping out the data and uploading it again. Unfortunately, symbology is not preserved, in this case. Thanks Mike ... View more

One way is to increase the number of users in your subscription to cover the number of users in your organization, such that everyone has a username. Alternatively, you would have to share the application with everyone in the portal and authenticate users in your flex application. Thanks, Mike ... View more

Yes, if you want unique images for each feature, you need something on the feature that determines its uniqueness...adding a field, or using an existing field is the only way. Thanks, Mike ... View more

Caroline, Would you be able to write the steps you are doing so that I could try to reproduce the problem? Thanks, Mike ... View more

There is a known bug with the flag and pushpin type symbols, where the anchor point of the symbol is the bottom of the symbol, instead of the center. These symbols are not positioned correctly. The fix is scheduled for our next release in March. Until then, it's best to stick with symbols that are centered on their location (like circles). I'm not sure why you can't change symbols at times. I'm not seeing this. Please let us know if you have a consistently reproducible case. Thanks, Mike ... View more

I'm not seeing this behavior. Is it only for a particular map or all maps? If it's a particular map, can you share it with everyone and post the URL thanks, Mike ... View more
