Hi Eric -- The embed bar shouldn't appear as long as you use the same domain for your embedded story and the parent story, for example www.arcgis.com or myorg.maps.arcgis.com. Can you give that a try and/or share a link to your story so I can take a look? ... View more

Sorry, I'm not sure about the configuration details for that app, but I'm sure someone in the ArcGIS Configurable Apps‌ space could help. ... View more

Right, for the compiled app the sharingurl is in the config.js. It's right down there at the bottom of the file. The notes there indicate you need to update those values if you are hosting the story map app somewhere other than the portal web server.  If your environment is unable to see the public internet you'll need to point your app to a local JSAPI. You can probably look at the other apps on your portal for the URL or this help topic might help. If you are unable to get it to work I'd suggest you contact Esri Support as they are much better equipped to help you troubleshoot disconnected deployments. ... View more

Christos -- Use a protocol neutral URL for the sharingurl, and don't forget the rest of it: .../sharing/rest/content/items There's an example in the comments of the index.html file that you can follow: //example.orgname.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/items For an Enterprise portal it'd be: //[myportaldomain]/sharing/rest/content/items ...

OK great. Glad the information was helpful. Just to clarify, the differences you see are not related to the operating system (Windows vs Mac) -- it's related to the screen size, resolution, and browser window size of different computers. It's a good idea to test your story at a variety of window sizes/shapes and devices to make sure things look as expected. You can do this using Chrome developer tools (details here). ... View more

Hi Jennifer -- Sorry you are seeing differences in your Cascade story on different computers. This is somewhat expected since Cascade stories have a full-window format and screen dimentions, screen resolutions, and browser window aspect ratios can vary from computer to computer. Can you share a screenshot of what you are seeing? If you have a photo that has words or other elements that you do not want to be cropped out you have a few options: Use the image in-line in a narrative section as a SMALL or MEDIUM sized image If you are using the image as a background image, either use the focus point to ensure the important part of the photo isn't cropped out, or choose the Do No Crop option Below are screenshots of these three options. Let me know if these are helpful. In-line (small) Immersive background -- use blue focus point to mark the most important part of the image that you do not want cropped out Immersive background -- use "Do not crop" option ...

Hi -- There's also this blog with a lot of different ways to show time in a story map that don't require custom development. ... View more

Hi Lea -- Sorry the Cascade builder is giving you trouble. Sounds like you are encountering a bug we've noticed in map configuration related to duplication of views. Sometimes if you have configured several views with the same map, duplicate one of those views, and then configure the new view the configuration of the previously configured views can be lost. To workaround this issue, avoid configuring a duplicate view after you have already configured the map in other views; instead, add the map to one view, duplicate that view as many times as you need, then configure the map in all the duplicated views. Alternatively, you can avoid duplicating altogether and just add a new view then manually add the same map as the view's background media. We plan to address this issue in the next release in September. ... View more
