Map Tour repository on Github offer two downloadable archives, one is intended for users that don't customize the template or only do CSS customization, the other is for developer that enhance or change the behavior of the app. You are using the developer download. If you are not making any Javascript change to the application, you should use the user download. If you are not making any customization at all, we recommend that you use the hosted version to benefits from automatic update. If you want to use your own URL, you can do a full screen iFrame that use the hosted version. If you have modified the template, you will have to follow the developer instructions to make it work (in the default mode, all parameters in index.html are ignored on purpose). ... View more

Hi, Sorry for inconvenience. I'm sure I can help you find the source of your issues. What is the behavior when you use the sample CSV that we provide (create a new webmap, create a new map tour, choose advanced options (the gear icon), download the csv and import it. Is the builder stable then? If not it must be something about your computer. What browser and Operating System are you using? If it works, it must be about your data that make Map Tour builder not happy. Please send me the CSV or the reference to your Flickr account/album and I will take a look. ... View more

When you add pic_url field, you also need to add a thumb_url field. If you don't have these two fields, the attachments are used. If you have these two fields, they are used. If you add only pic_url it doesn't works. All of that is documented on the previous link. You can't use video if you don't have these two fields. ... View more

Using a custom Feature Service is possible but it will require you to read a bit the documentation to make it works. Please take a look at the previous two links I gave you. You need to have two attachments per feature (even for the videos). You need to add pic_url field and also thumb_url. Alternatively I would recommend that you create a Feature Service from the sample CSV we distribute and start rebuilding your Map Tour from scratch. Add your points with image, then use ArcGIS.com viewer to edit the pic_url when you want a video. if you have an organization, add the CSV as an item and choose to create a service. ... View more

Feature Service created from the builder should always have a field named pic_url (alias is 'Picture URL'). If you don't have two fields named pic_url and thumb_url, you won't be able to use video. More details on github here and here. If you don't want / can't create the Feature Service from the builder, yes you can create those fields yourself, populate them and make sure to have use #isVideo at the end of your video URL. ...

Hi, Yes you can (see Help>Data - the last section). To sum-up because by default Feature Service attachments are limited in size, we don't yet support adding videos when the source is a Feature Service. But through ArcGIS.com viewer you can edit your data to include a video or any other page (open your webmap in edit mode, edit the field pic_url with the URL of your video). Also if your record has an attribute isVideo, turn it to true, if it doesn't, the URL of your page have to include #isVideo. ... View more

Hi, Please refer to storymaps website for general help about using our templates (especially the workflow and white paper documents. If you are interested in Map Tour template there is an extensive pdf documentation included in the zip file that will guide you through all the steps. Some templates are hosted in ArcGIS Online meaning that you won't have any technical steps to perform yourself. If the template you want isn't hosted in ArcGIS Online, a popular option is to use Dropbox to host it. You can also do it through github, but it's more complex, see the procedure. ... View more

Yes, only the fix is present since Map Tour 2.2, which is not your version. If you don't customize the template, we recommend that you use the hosted version in ArcGIS Online to benefits from periodic upgrade. ... View more

Yes, the fix has been included in December. It work well on my IE11 (Windows 7). It should not be necessary but please try to clean your browser cache, it should fix the issue. ... View more

Looks like your points have been incorrectly re-projected. If you unzoom, you will see that they are in Nigeria. The basemap simply appear blurry because that region doesn't have the same resolution than the US. You should be able to re-position the points quickly with the builder or ArcGIS.com viewer. After that you should be good, good luck. ... View more

Hi Joris, Good job, we will consider including that. After modifying the source code, we recommend that you apply one two steps procedure to optimize the loading time of the application: Environment setup and build the application. ... View more

Sorry for the inconvenience, that's an issue that will be fixed in an upcoming release of Map Tour. Looks like your basemap was in a different projection than web mercator. When you switched to your basemap in ArcGIS.com viewer, your points got reprojected, but when you got back to Imagery basemap with the Map Tour builder, your points didn't get reprojected to web mercartor. Your data are still there and looks valid, just that they can't be displayed because they are not in the expected projection. To fix that, with ArcGIS.com viewer if switch the basemap to yours then save the webmap and then switch back to Imagery basemap, your Map Tour points should be reprojected to web mercator and your story usable again. ...

I'm not exactly sure what you mean. If this doesn't help, please send me a link to your app or your appid. If in your original tour you have reordered your points using the Organize dialog, the data in your layer won't in fact be reorganized. Instead the order configuration is stored at the application level. So by design if you create a new application with the same webmap, your data won't be organized the same way than in your original application, you have to redo the work a second time. If you have dropped the layer in your webmap and added a new one, the data can become messy. In the Organize dialog, using the bottom right button "Reset order and hidden points" should do the trick. ... View more

This is a general behavior of the Javascript API. It has been described in this blog post. If you are using the downloadable version of a template, you should be able to change it (I haven't tested) using an undocumented option. Find the createMap call and make sure to add the line in red: arcgisUtils.createMap(webmapId, "mainMap", { mapOptions: {   slider: true,   ...   showAttribution: true,   smartNavigation: false }, ... } ...

Hi, Adding a GPX layer should not make the application unstable but it can impact very hardly the loading time of your Tour. If you have added your GPX to the webmap through ArcGIS.com viewer, the track is now included in the webmap through JSON. Depending on your track resolution, it can be quite heavy. Map Tour has an on purpose aggressive timeout to force author to use lightweight content. Please try to simplify your track using ArcGIS Desktop or a free tool like GPX Editor and let me know if it doesn't get better. ... View more
