Hi, At the moment I'm working to learn python and also creating Story Maps. I'm trying to figure out more on the ArcGIS API for Python and the functionality related to Story Maps both creation and maintenance. For instance, is there a way to use the API to look at the locations within a Shortlist Story Map and download the text information included to see all the urls such as links to nearby parks and find out which ones are broken? It would also be great if there was away just to view a table of all the info to make sure that links are updated to be pointing to the correct url. I'm interested to know how folks are using the new API with Story Maps/web maps. Thanks in advance, Kathy

Hi Rupert, Thanks for the reply. I'm trying to figure out how to populate my web map/shortlist story map with dynamic data. I have these questions to start with. 1) Can data driven text be added to the Shortlist Story Map? I see the blog post about adding Data Driven Text with the Map Journal example but was wondering if the methods apply to the other templates? 2) Are there map services that be published to our GIS Server from a SQL database so the data can be dynamic? If so what type of services are these and do you need to publish with special settings to the service or on the SQL database administration? I'm thinking in ArcMap you can have a query layer that is dynamic with the database connection but are there web services that are similar? 3) Do you know if with ArcGIS API for python if there are scripts for checking url links within story maps to show all the urls and if some are broken? I'm trying to figure out maintenance and automating some of these tasks for the Story Maps especially since they are url heavy. Thanks in advance!!! Kathy

Hi Raúl Jiménez Ortega!, Thanks so much for all your help with the changes to the code to better track the navigation in Google Analytics. I'm going to try and make these changes as you suggested and use your new deployable version. Hopefully I can do this I'm not very savy with javascript but you've given awesome directions! This is probably getting too much into the weeds but are the individual locations within a tab referenced similar to the 'story-tab-navigation' you've added or would that amount to specifying each location somehow? I just thought I would ask while I had your ear. Thanks so much for such prompt response and Mark Cooney your help also!! Kathy

Hi, I have a Shortlist Story Map that has locations I would like to link with a department database to show the info from the databases. For example a lake I have included in the shortlist is also included in a lake stocking database within the department that populates a pop-up box in a Google Map app. It is requested to show the stocking information for the Story Map location and right now I'm wondering if this is possible to do thru the url option within in the text box? If not is there a way to create a feature service thru ArcGIS Server that would be dynamic with the database and add this as a service in the webmap that feeds the Story Map? Thanks for your help in advance!! Kathy

Hi raul.jimenezesri-es-esridist, We downloaded the 'ready-to-deploy' app and have added a splash page and customized the header and have that code hosted on our department server. Would I be able to customize this code or would it have to be the full source code from GitHub? As it works right now we just have the .html file linked with the appid on ArcGIS Online. I so appreciate your willingness to help with this! Thanks, Kathy

Hi, I do see there is "Adding Google Analytics to your Story Maps" story on the Story Maps Developer's Corner and I talked with our web person here at work. We are currently working with the Shortlist Story Map template and is it possible to get statistics on the actual locations within the shortlist to know which ones are viewed relative to the other locations? We are currently planning to put the story map within the iframe with our agency wrapper around it so I was looking at the Google Analytic statistics that the web team here normally use and they didn't think it was possible since the Story Map url doesn't change when you click between tabs or to different locations. I was hoping someone might be able to provide this info whether it was or wasn't possible. Thanks so much! Kathy

Thanks Rupert for the reply and information. Our Department internet is set up to actually block content from sites like Flickr and Google Plus among other photo sites so this isn't an option for us. Thanks for the information though!

Hi, I see the Shortlist beta currently "doesn't support importing images from your computer in bulk via the Import dialog but instead only one by one as you create or edit individual places." Is this something that the developers are working on? It would be a great bonus to be able to do this similar to the Map Tour template. Thanks, Kathy

Hi, I was hoping to find out if a couple of issues are know bugs in the Shortlist Story Map. It was pointed out yesterday that when a user clicks on a site photo instead maybe zooming in to that location on the map or possibly another photo the application goes to the next site location photo? This does not seem like a desired action for the user, can you tell me if someone is working on this or why it was designed this way? Also some users were having trouble with their back arrow within the site location photo box. For instance if they did click on the photo and the photo changed to the new location they then couldn't use the arrow to move back to the original site. I'm not sure if this is a browser update issue or what. It was working for some folks and not others. Here's a link to the story map. Thanks for your help, Kathy

I agree and for this application I will disable it. I am planning to demo it next week and I would hate to detract from folks wanting to use by seeing things that obviously reduce its usability and don't seem to work correctly. Thanks for taking the time to view and troubleshoot!!!

Well I see what you mean and because in this story map folks are more likely to type in rivers, bays and not precise locations do you think it would be better to disable the find feature?

I also just tried it in Google Maps and it zoomed right in to the correct location for "Cowee Creek". I type in "Cowee Creek"....then it shows "Cowee Creek, Juneau, AK" and zooms right in?

I'm glad there seems to be a reason behind it but it appears the Geocoder does find because it first shows up as "Cowee Creek, AK USA" and then it adds that gray dot in the correct location for Cowee Creek but it zooms way out. By adding the gray dot, hasn't the geocoder found it?
