Great that helps to see your methods!! Thank-you ... View more

That's a great Story Map. I also really like your formatting. I was trying to figure out where you added the HTML formatting. Did you add it in each location or do you have it incorporated into the index.html css? It looks like you have it more systematically set up than editing each text box. ... View more

Thanks Rupert. You know that might be a good idea just for having a improving the display for the front desk monitors at our office locations. We chose the shortlist over the map tour so we could add in other layers in the map (roads, trails,...etc) once a person zooms in. Also the text editor was easier to add formatting to at the time. That said I could now easily export my points/info/photo url links and  make it into a map tour for presentation purposes.  ...

Hi Owen and Rupert, Thanks so much for your quick replies and explanations of the Story Map template shortlist. I don't have a photo at the moment to include but I will work on that. Basically the front desk set up is a 65 " screen with 1920 x 1080 resolution at a 16:9 ratio. I will try increasing the browser zoom as a work around on a similar screen in another room here easier to test out than at the front desk. It was exciting to see up on the larger screen especially now that the shortlist includes the autoplay function but instinctively a person does want to increase the location photos. Thanks, Kathy ...

Hi, I have a question related to Bethany's and wonder if someone might have info on how to customize the HTML, CSS, or JavaScript to accommodate. I have Story Maps in the Shortlist template and just noticed they now have the autoplay function included. We currently have the Story Map running at times on the front desk large screen on the wall behind the counter. While the Story Map looks great on a regular computer sized screen on the monitor the size of the map looks to take up too much of the screen and it would be nice if the location photos/text could be bigger. Is there a way to include code for screens larger than......to modify the size of the location photo or ratio of the location photo to the map? The information folks thought it looked good but currently would look even better if we could modify the photo/text size in the location box. We do have the code hosted on our server but I'm not exactly sure what I would modify to get the effect we would like. Thanks in advance!, Kathy  ... View more

Hi Seth, I read your response awhile back and it gave me hope. That said I haven't been focusing too much on this lately but need to start looking at it again. I really appreciate the code example above and ideas! If you've thought of anything since then please let me know. Thanks kindly for your help! ... View more

Hi, You know we ran into a syntax error as well and I think it might just be the different symbol for single quotes in line 21 within the custom-scripts.js file....I've copied that line below. We changed those to single quotes to the regular and then it worked or that's what happened with us. console.log(`Index = ${index}`); I just thought I would share since I had forgotten about that.

Thanks Becky. I will check out the ArcGIS Online Assistant.  I didn't write my question very well though, what I'm trying to get after is the urls that I have in the Shortlist description text boxes for the actual location within the Story Map. Is there a way to get at these urls. I also will need to check the URLS of the web map services so ArcGIS Online or the API seems useful for checking multiple maps. Story Maps have a lot of urls in the text description themselves and it seems like it would be VERY useful to be able to check/see all these in the maintenance of the Story Maps. In fact it was a recent criticism I received in that it is such a manual process to update and/or just check these urls to be sure they are still valid. Does anyone have a workflow for this? Thanks!!! ... View more

Hi, I was hoping you might repost the link in your reply above for the example in the documentation. When I click on the link I just get an error. Thanks!, Kathy ... View more

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 ... View more

This is not very urgent but it really is a metric we would like to have in the near future. I appreciate your help immensely. thank-you!! ... View more

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 ... View more
