See discussion on duplicate post here: Can't add website as a main page in map journal anymore

Hi Karen, I just tested this and yes, it is a mixed content issue as I suspected. The link to your story map above points to the HTTPS version of your map journal (even though the short URL is HTTP): https://ft.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapJournal/?appid=278586b751454085a381b188d1cc80d0 If I access the story over HTTPS the website in the "Sane Energy Website" section does not load, but it does load if you access your story over HTTP. http://ft.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapJournal/?appid=278586b751454085a381b188d1cc80d0 You can usually ensure a website can be viewed in your story whether your story is accessed over HTTP or HTTPS by simply using the HTTPS form of the URL for any websites you add to your story map. However, it looks like the Sane Energy website does not support HTTPS so in this case their website will only work in your story if you access the story over HTTP. Owen

Hi Karen, Sorry for the delay in responding. There is Story Maps place on GeoNet; please use that for Story Map-related questions next time. Can you make your story map public and post or private message me a link to it so I can take a look? Sometimes the situation you described can be due to a mixed-content issue when you mix HTTP and HTTPS content. If you are accessing your story map over HTTPS (whether or not your organizational settings require it or not) make sure you use an HTTPS URL for any web page that you add to your Map Journal. You can usually see this if you open the browser dev tools and look for mixed content errors. Owen

Hi Lars, Sorry for the delay in responding. There is Story Maps place on GeoNet; please use that for Story Map-related questions next time. Yes, what you are asking for is possible. As long as your portal is publicly accessible (outside your firewall) and the web scene is shared with Everyone it can be referenced in a public or private story map published by any organization. Please see these two blog posts for instructions: Using 3D web scenes in Story Maps | ArcGIS Blog Using 3D web scenes in Story Maps redux | ArcGIS Blog Owen P.S. I can't remember what version of Portal started supporting the tip to reference a specific slide mentioned in the second post. If it's not supported at 10.3.1 it should be in 10.4 when that is released.

Hi Pamela, Sorry for the delay in responding. There is Story Maps place on GeoNet; please use that for Story Map-related questions next time. I'm not sure why the Facebook photos are breaking. If you are still having this issue are you able to post or private message me links to your public story map and the Facebook page you are linking to so I can take a look? As far as an alternate location for images, Flickr and Picasa work very well as dedicated cloud photo storage solutions. You can also put photos on your own web server or cloud file storage account (like Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, Amazon S3, GoogleDrive, etc.) as long as you can get a persistent public URL to reference each image.

Hi Jay, Sorry for the delay in responding. There is a Story Maps place on GeoNet; please use that for Story Map-related questions next time. What you are asking for is not currently supported in the standard Map Series app; however, we are considering adding main stage actions (like Map Journal has) to Map Series in a future release. That would enable you to create links to map locations. Owen

Razvan -- We are still hoping to have the initial release of Crowdsource ready to release in Feb, but there is a possibility we could push to the beginning of June. If the release is in June we may have a downloadable version available that you will be able to get earlier than that if you are able to host apps on your own. We'll post info about that on GeoNet, if needed. Owen

Hi C.E., Sorry you are having trouble. I just tested this workflow and it seems to work for me and I don't believe we were ever able to reproduce the original issue reported above. Could you please post or message me a link to your web map so I can take a look and try to reproduce this with your map? When you said "hosted (my server) feature service" do you mean that you are trying to use a tour layer that is hosted on your own ArcGIS Server machine? Owen

Hi C.E., I apologize that you've had to wait for this feature, but a significant overhaul of Map Tour is on our schedule for the second half of 2016. We plan to address as many feature requests as we can during that work, and this one is high on our list. We are also planning to release an update to Story Map Shortlist that will be available as a hosted app on ArcGIS Online by June, so that app may fit your needs as well. Just to confirm, you have found this setting where you can set the zoom level for all the points, right? Owen

Hi Shauna-Rae, The version of Story Map Basic that is currently included with Portal for ArcGIS 10.3.1 and earlier doesn't have the ability to add a logo in the header. However, the latest version released on ArcGIS Online in November 2015 does have this ability, and that version of the Basic app will be included in Portal for ArcGIS 10.4. If you don't want to wait for 10.4, you can download the latest version of the Basic app from GitHub and install it on your Portal. Esri/basic-map-storytelling-template-js · GitHub Also, I'll make sure a developer gets back to you on your other questions. Owen

Yup! There's a URL parameter that will let you do that. Check out this blog to learn how to use it... Using 3D web scenes in Story Maps | ArcGIS Blog Owen

Hi Geri, Currently the only way to get driving directions is to either 1) download and customize the story map app and code that feature yourself (must be a developer and be able to host your own apps), or 2) embed another configurable app that has driving directions (like the Directions app) into your story map (Series or Journal only). If you've never embedded an app within a story map you can read about how to do that in this blog post. We are thinking of adding a native directions capability to one or more storytelling apps in the future; could you let me know to which app(s) you wanted to add driving directions? Owen

‎12-14-2015

Hi Karen, I'm not sure which app you are using for your story map, but if you are using Map Series it does currently have the ability to add an address finder. It's in Settings under Map options. Owen
