Hi Eric We don't provide specific steps for deploying your custom code on a web server because there are so many different possible ways of doing it. You most likely don't need to set up a web server yourself. For example, this process be as simple as asking your IT folks or the administrator of your company's or organization's public web server to create a folder with your custom source code installed in it. The folder location they install the code in becomes part of the URL for your customized Story Map. Or if your organization's website is hosted using some third party hosting service you, or someone with access, can simply login to that and upload the files. For example I created a Map Tour that was self-hosted on the website of a non-profit that I volunteer for. Their website is hosted on http://www.ipage.com for a small monthly fee. They gave me the login info for their iPage account and I just created a folder and uploaded my customized version of the Map Tour code into it. That immediately made my Map Tour accessibly publicly and I could then share the URL with people and also add a link to the Map Tour to their home page. Hope that helps. Rupert ... View more

Hi Elizabeth. Yikes I can reproduce that too. I think we never tested it with that many bookmarks   Sorry about the issue. We'll see if we can address that in future release. In the meantime perhaps you could weed your bookmarks list, although I understand that isn't viable if these are a specific set of districts in a region, such as states or school districts.

Hi, if you want to have a filter/search that applies to the places shown in the Shortlist tabs, so it filters or highlights the places in the tab and on the map, this hasn't been implement and isn't planned currently. We'd like to do it but it isn't on the list of priorities now just because of time.  If you want users to be able to search for individual addresses or features on the map, that is supported. This lets people navigate around the map and doesn't interact with the places in the tabs (although if a user pans or zooms to the location they found, the tabs will respond in the normal Shortlist way to show you the places in that location). You can configure this in the Shortlist Builder's Settings > Map Options dialog, and it will pick up custom search options set up in the web map that your Shortlist is using: Rupert ... View more

Thanks Nathan Heick‌ For info about how to self-host a story map app in order to make changes to the source code, see: https://community.esri.com/community/gis/web-gis/storymaps/blog/2017/03/28/story-maps-developers-corner-an-introduction-to-hosting-your-own-story-map  Rupert ... View more

Hi Cindy, adding an automatic way to make an "All" tab isn't in our plans yet and it is one we'd have to weigh up. You can make one now but it requires duplicating your places. I'm also not sure if we'd do the color coding like in Nathan's customization. When new Story Map features get released we post about them here in this space on Geonet, and also on our Twitter account and our Planet Story Maps newsletter. Rupert ... View more

Hi Cindy There's not an automatic way to make an "All" tab in Story Map Shortlist although it is a pattern that a lot of authors are using and that we may have to accommodate in future dev. We have sort of held off adding an easy way to make "All" because it means that your most busy and potentially slowest drawing tab will be the first one users see (if it is the first tab in your Shortlist).  If you are defining places iinteractively you'd currently have to add them twice to have them in an All tab as well. If you are creating your Shortlist from a CSV file or feature layer, you could duplicate the records to set up an All tab before creating your Shortlist. So you can create an All tab without having to customize the source code of the app, but having the places in that tab use different colors for their marker symbol based on which tab they appear in (which I think is what you are after) requires a customization. A creative user nheick has done a very cool customization of Story Map Shortlist that implements this, along with a graphical header, basemap switcher, etc. So see what you think. This is a prototype and hasn't been officially published yet: Facilities - Test   Rupert ... View more

Your self-hosted Cascade does have all the application code, and it's the index.html file that contains the tags that social and search are reading. There's not a way to download all the application content to host yourself but you don't need to do that (unless you are a large enterprise that wants to host all their maps and apps in their own cloud behind their firewall, in which case you'd use ArcGIS Enterprise instead of ArcGIS Online).

Hi. Sorry about the issue. If I search for Gayron de Bruin it does return your self-hosted Cascade for me http://www.gayrondebruin.com/  but not in the top most spot.  There's one other example of a Cascade being used as the website for an organization that I know of, http://themaritimealliance.org/  , but in that case it's a redirect to a Cascade hosted in ArcGIS Online rather than being the URL of a self-hosted Cascade, and I notice that their home page doesn't appear in search results at all when I search for The Maritime Alliance, except via the Google search card for them as a place on Google Maps. I don't know enough about how this works to be much help though. Rupert ... View more
