Hi, When I used the address search and it zooms to the location, my custom tiled base map disappears.  Any reason why this is happening? I just started testing this template out this week.... it is still in the development stages. Here is my site... http://gis.arlingtonva.us/gallery Hi Bill, That looks really good. Nice work. The geolocation is probably zooming too far for the custom basemap. You can change the Level of detail in one of the scripts files. I should probably make it a config variable in the future. If you look in user-agent.js on like 54 you can change the lod variable to a smaller number so it doesn't zoom users in too far. function zoomToLocation(x, y, IPAccuracy){ // calculate lod var lod = 14; Hope that helps. ...

Yes!  That fixed it.  I only found "2.5" in two files, though  -- map.html and embed.html Marc Yep, that's it. I just meant there were two JS files and one CSS file that use the "2.5" reference to the API version. Glad it's working. ... View more

I have downloaded and am using version 1.4 of the public maps gallery.  I can see my maps that are in my public folder but when I try to access one of them I get this message in a sign in dialogue box item:00fa59c037aa49bd9a2642f5f12dec0b I originally created the maps gallery in version 1.3 and maps that are in there created with that version still work. Do I need to create the Maps Gallery again with version 1.4?  I also can't seem to find the Group ID finder now.  Is it hidden somewhere? Hi Angelo, Yes, you will have to do it again with 1.4. The group id finder tool is here: http://www.esri.com/public-maps-gallery/group-id-tool/index.html ... View more

Yes, this is a bug. The layer toggle for the Public Maps Gallery only toggles the visibility of the layer. I'll need to see what I have to do to have it toggle the info windows as well as the visibility. It may be something easy, maybe not 🙂 I'll look into it. ... View more

I am having problems with how my template interacts with Internet Explorer.  I try to go to the site (still under development so I can't link you to it), but I seem to get the following prompt for most of my maps (and frequently multiple times per map): "Stop running this script? A script on this page is causing Internet Explorer to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer might become unresponsive."  Yes/No.  Clicking No often does not succeed in loading the map, and the message will pop up numerous times after this before it finally functions properly.  The maps I am linking to are found here.  I am using IE version 8.0.6001.18702CO.  Does the problem lie in how I have customized the template, or in Internet Explorer?  Related: the template seems to function fine with Firefox. Thank you Hi rayjaw, I think I've run into this as well. I believe it's just Internet Explorer not liking the Modernizr javascript framework when running locally from your computer (using file:// protocol). Does it still do it if you run the page from a development server or anywhere using the http:// protocol? It may not be an issue when you put it on a server. If it's still doing it when you're not using it locally (file://) then it may be something else I can look into. Thanks ... View more

Thanks for the link to release 1.4.  How will this affect my current install.  Can I just install over the existing application and overwrite exissting files? Unfortunately, no. You'll have to create a new instance. ... View more

I just attended the extending ArcGIS seminar yesterday and have set up my Public Maps Gallery.  I would like to change a few things on the template. First, is there a way to change the featured map links on the right side of the page?  While having a link to Earthquake centers in the Yukon might be important to someone, it might not be what I want to display to my group here in NH. My other problem is changing the Photoshop document that displays the headers and footers.  This is proving to be very difficult without Photoshop.  Any way around that? Hi nashua, Here is an updated version of this template if you're interested. It is easier to configure. http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=2b158c0d94b64f208f45bcae801c2fa0 ... View more

ok - thanks - i will test again this evening with an Android phone - Cool. Let me know how it goes. It's unfortunate there's no way for the browser to communicate with the device and see if an app is installed so we have to rely on the user to tell us. ... View more

Here's what it does. [INDENT]If you're on an iOS device or Android device and you visit the site, you will get the dialog. The dialog pops up and asks you if you have the ArcGIS app. If you say don't install, it will set a cookie to say "disabled" and you'll never get the dialog again unless you clear your browsers cookies. If you say "install now" you will get a web page opened to download and install the app. Then you can answer "Already installed" after it's installed. If you say "Already installed", the cookie is set to "installed" and it will use the appropriate ArcGIS app URL for your device. (Android/iOS).[/INDENT] I think the styling didn't get copied. I had to add that to the themes.css file for the dialog. I think there were changes to global.css as well. Also, the optional config got a few new items placed in there. ... View more

I am trying to use the Public Maps Gallery Template 1.4.  All my maps are present in the first page (index.html), but many of the map won't open in the map view.  Is this a problem because of the base map I am using??? For example the maps using BING Roads won't open. I'm also interested in a discussion regarding the speed that the maps load. Tips and Tricks would be useful to create maps that load quickly in the map view (just using ArcGIS online). Hi Jill, I think it's probably that you need to enter a bing maps key into the config file where your ID was entered. http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jshelp_start.htm#jshelp/ve_getting_started.htm http://www.bingmapsportal.com/ ...

Thanks - I really appreciate it.  Honestly, a microsoft shop we may be but their mobile market share is so diplorable i am not super concerned with it atm.  Though, it would be nice down the road to have that one too.  Android is kind'a a must.  At the very least, for now, we can just go the http* instead of arcgis* and that way it will at least work in a brouser capacity.  As much as a like iOS - the Android solution is equally important to us; we really need a cross platform solution. Also, if there was one more item - showing our location on the map instead of just having it centered would be amazing too!  Thanks, dz Hi David, I did some more research, got Android working, improved the detection and added a dialog for using the app if you have it installed. Unfortunately, It won't work for Windows phone. Windows phones don't have a URL scheme like iOS and Android so you can't use "arcgis://" to open the app from Windows Mobile IE at this time. I tested on a Windows phone with no luck. I also added the location graphic for the geo-locate button and zoomed it in more. I put all this code on Github for now. I'll do some more testing and then eventually update the ArcGIS item's code. If anyone is interested, they can contribute to the template. https://github.com/GISWebOps/Public-Maps-Gallery-Template Thanks ... View more

ok - so I have started using the Android AVD Manager to test the v1.4 public maps gallery with little luck.  I thought maybe it was something to do with the AVD so I went to a Sprint stoer to test it too.  They allow you to install apps so that was my choice for full selection of mobile devices to test drive the site. Issues: Apple iOS:      Redirects to a bad url and then fixes itself on way to itunes...      // IOS APP URL      pmgConfig.iosAppURL = "itms://itunes.apple.com/us/app/arcgis/id379687930?mt=8";      //perhaps another redirect would work better? Android:      A mobile device is detected but there is no pmgConfig setting to redirect android devices to the android market so this page is displayed: something like this would be nice...      //ANDROID APP URL      //pmgconfig.androidAppURL = "https://market.android.com/details?id=com.esri.android.client" Further - once the app is installed the map cannot be loaded.  So now the device cannot view the map at all unless the change the url to start with http instead of arcgis and not a likely task for standard mobile user... WindowsMobile The app took too long to download and left before it was complete - perhaps it is finished now and I will return to the store and check that one;)      there is no pmgConfig setting to redirect WindowsMobile devices to their market; something like this would be nice....      //WINDOWS MOBILE URL      //pmgconfig.windowsMobileAppURL = "http://social.zune.net/redirect/preferences/askclient?ReturnUrl=http%3a%2f%2fsocial.zune.net%2fredirect%3ftype%3dphoneApp%26id%3d7cb003be-990a-e011-9264-00237de2db9e" Yeah, that's correct. Nice investigation you did there 🙂 Last time I tested on Android, I had the app installed and when using the "arcgis://" protocol URL, it wouldn't load in the ArcGIS app. I'm not sure what the URL should be to open a webmap in the ArcGIS app for android. I'll investigate this more. Same thing with Windows Phone. Not sure if arcgis:// protocol will work to open in the app. It works in iOS. I don't have a windows mobile device to test on yet but I can test on Android. The redirect on iOS is basically a hack. At the time, it was the only way to see if the app was installed or not. It tries the arcgis:// protocol and if that fails, it then loads the iTunes store page. There's another way to do this with a cookie that I'll think I will try: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1108693/is-it-possible-to-register-a-httpdomain-based-url-scheme-for-iphone-apps-like/1109200#1109200 I'll see if it is even possible to open a webmap in the android ArcGIS app and with what protocol. Same thing with Windows Mobile. I'll let you know what I find out. If it's something I can integrate, I'll update the code. ... View more

In PM Gallery 1.4 how do you adjust what appears in the 'About' tab in the simple map viewer?  Currently no text displays when the tab is clicked.  Ideally, I would like map descriptions and the username that submits the map to appear.  Thanks for any help you can provide. *This function seemed to work in the Carousel view of PMG 1.3 Hi Jacob, That text comes from the webmap on ArcGIS.com. You will need to edit the webmap and enter the about text on arcigs online for it to show up. ... View more

Hey, I would like to show 3 pages, one with apps, one with maps and services and the other with tools. I decided that I would have to have 3 installations, but I cannot get the filter to work.  I can get the apps, but the maps end up with the apps included and the tools don't show up at all. any ideas? Chris Hi Chris, Attached is a list of all the different types you can filter by. It's the left most column. Let me know if that helps. I'm not sure what the tools string is. I've only used 'Web Map' and 'Layer'. Thanks ... View more
