Currently, the story maps hosted on ArcGIS Online do not support adding google analytics. However, all the apps are available on GitHub and can be downloaded and modified with your analytics of choice. If you already have your application configured, you can grab your application ID and add it the configuration section in the index.html. Anything that you’ve done on the hosted version will automatically be applied to the version you downloaded.

Tara, we just released an update to the playlist app a couple days ago so make sure you have the most recent version before continuing. Before adding additional widgets to the app we recommend thinking about what value they will give to the end user. Adding too many options can sometime confuse the user more than help them. That being said, there are reasons to add additional basemap options. However, we recommend limiting the number of basemaps to the two or three most useful ones. The easiest way to add a basemap gallery is to use the Basemap dijit included in the ArcGIS API for JavaScript (Documentation here). The basemap gallery requires access to the map object as well as a div within the html where the basemap galley will go. In the playlist, the map components live in the Map.js file (source > app > javascript > playlist > ui > Map.js). You can place the basemap gallery code after the arcgis.createmap function and response function. Then use "_map" as the map object when configuring the basemap gallery. To create a space in the side panel for the basemap gallery, you can follow these instructions: Re: Additional side pane toggle/widow in Playlist Story Map One of the basemap gallery options is "basemaps." Use this to limit the basemaps in your gallery.

Flickr has two separate sharing options. One is to share the photo publicly, but there is also another options that you can set to share the location publicly. Can you verify that both of these are set correctly?

Unfortunately, the current version of the tabbed viewer does not have the ability to read the scalebar settings saved in your organization account. In order to change this, you will need to download the code and, modify the scalebar units in the Map.js file, then host the code on your organization's server. In an upcoming release of ArcGIS Online, we will be replacing the tabbed template with a new version that provides many more options and should handle settings stored at the organization level.

This is fixed when the app is updated to v3.11 of the JavaScript API. I just updated the source code to use this version of the API.

The app should provide the same popup experience as you see in the ArcGIS Online map viewer. Sometimes there are slight differences in the JavaScript API and the code behind ArcGIS Online. Can you share a link to you app and the links to your web maps so we can investigate?

It’s possible that the browser does not remember you are logged in. Try logging on to ArcGIS Online with the account that created that app and make sure you check the ‘Keep me signed in’ button; then go back and visit the app. Alternatively, once you log in to ArcGIS online, find the app in ‘My content’ and open the link from there.

At this time the only way to embed a story map is to use an iframe. I'm not super familiar with Wordpress but could you use a plugin to give you iframe capability to your Wordpress account. Maybe something like this: http://wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/.

Ahh, it looks like your referencing the flickr page that contains the image and not the image itself. Try this url for your logo: https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5590/14962210522_c867e218aa_o.jpg. Here’s a blog post that shows how I got this: http://www.laurascraftylife.com/2014/01/how-to-find-an-image-url-on-flickr-com.html.

Can you provide a URL to the image you are trying to use for your logo?

Is your photo on Flickr shared publicly?

In the index.html, you will see 3 lines of code (line 42,43, and 183) that reference the API code (2 CSS files and 1 JS file). Within each src/href attribute replace the 3.7 with a 3.10.

I’m not sure I understood your last comment. When I added your web map to my version of the side accordion app which was at API version 3.10 and clicked the “zoom to,” the polygons rendered correctly at larger scales. If I moved the API back down to 3.7 (the version your app was running), I had the same issue with the layers not rendering correctly.

I believe if you update your app to the latest version api (3.10), the geometries should draw correctly.

In the layout.erb file, find the configOptions and add a new variable to read the variable you defined in the config.yml file: var configOptions = { layerId: "<%= data.config.youVariableNameInConfigYML %>", // The web map id webmap: "<%= data.config.webmap %>", // Enter a title, if no title is specified, the webmap's title is used. Then you should be able to replace the actual layer id string with "configOptions.layerId."
