Hi Lisa Both Map Journal and Map Series support layer-based feature search defined in the web map. So if the web map(s) you are including in your story map have a layer-based search configured in them (you define that when you author the web map), then that search will be available via the Address/Place/Feature Finder control in the story map if you enable it. For example in Map Journal: For more info, please see: https://community.esri.com/community/gis/web-gis/storymaps/blog/2017/03/02/arcgis-blog-whats-new-in-story-maps-march-2016  I think the above is what you are after. If not let us know. Rupert ... View more

I found this post by Patrick McKinney  about adding legends to Shortlist as well:  Legend Plugin for Shortlist Story Map  And I also found another example of a Shortlist (original version 1, not hosted version 2) with a legend: DNR - Trout Trails  Rupert ... View more

Adrian Welsh‌ Best to keep this issue in  this ArcGIS Online thread because the appearance of the legend for a web map is generic to the ArcGIS Online Map Viewer. The Story Map Basic, Swipe/Spyglass, Series and Journal apps, and most other non-Story Map configurable apps, simply have the option to display the legend as-is for the web map(s) you display in the apps. Story Map Series and Story Map Journal don't provide any options for formatting the appearance of the web map legend.  However in Story Map Series and Story Map Journal you do have the option to create your own customized legend graphic or infographic, as described in the blog post you reference) and include that in your story as an image, rather than automatically displaying the legend from the web map. This kind of legend is no longer linked to the map and doesn't automatically reflect changes made to the map content, but it does enable authors to tailor the legend creatively. For a nice example of this, see this Map Series, which uses infographics added to the story as images:  https://story.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/index.html?appid=597d573e58514bdbbeb53ba2179d2359  Rupert ...

Hi Rickey We don't provide an automatic way in the Story Map Shortlist to provide an 'All' tab (a tab that collects together and presents all the features shown in the various other separate tabs in the Shortlist. Authors can add an "All" tab by adding an additional point layer into their web map before creating their Shortlist from it (if you 'Import" those places when you create your Shortlist) or by duplicating the data (if they are using the "As-Is" option when they create their Shortlist from a web map, or if they are adding the places interactively in the Shortlist Builder). Shortlist 'As-Is' only supports a single layer as input. We don't make it easy to provide an All tab because we don't really recommend adding that into a Shortlist. The aim of the Shortlist app is really to make it easy to browse large sets of places easily by dividing them up into different tabs that users can easily switch between to explore the locations. Having an additional tab with everything sort of works against that design, and can present your users with quite a cluttered (and possibly slower drawing) map especially if you have a lot of places. So we recommend the 'less is more' approach and keeping your Shortlist simple, with each tab showing a specific set of places. If you do still want to add an All tab, and quite a few authors can't resist adding one  , I'd recommend, not making it be the first tab in your Shortlist but instead making it the last tab. In this way your users don't see the most busy tab in your story immediately, and it appears to them as something they can choose after they've browsed each set of places as a convenience if they want to see everything together.

Thanks. I don't think you need to attach the index.html file. The issue with the text in the info panel (the panel containing the photo and text description)  being clipped so you can't read all of it is one that we fixed in the late June update to ArcGIS Online, so that fix is in the Shortlist source code v 2.3.2 released on July 6th.  If you downloaded the source before after then, then you'll have that fix. If you downloaded the source code before then, you don't have that fix, in which case, your change to the header isn't the cause of that clipping, and downloading the latest source code should fix the issue.

Hi Kathy Can you share the URL of your customized Shortlist, and also the URL of the hosted Shortlist that your code is pointing at? I found this hosted Shortlist online but wanted to check it is the correct one: https://adfg.maps.arcgis.com/apps/Shortlist/index.html?appid=dcc83ede81614585ba4ff3e719c4f38e  Rupert ... View more

I can't think of a specific one. Perhaps other Geonetters have ideas. You can browse all the configurable apps that are built into ArcGIS Online here: Choose a configurable app—ArcGIS Online Help | ArcGIS  For example see the Filter app listed under Explore and Summarize data. I've not played with it though. Rupert ... View more

Jennifer Bell‌ has updated the Seeing Green Infrastructure story map now to remove the links to graphics on Imgur. She was using HTTP in those links and that was returning an unsafe scripts message in her story, which also helps explain the blocking people were seeing. Changing those image links to be HTTPS would solve that issue but she saved the images to disk and uploaded them into the Cascade instead, so they are no longer referenced via URLs. This has the advantage of optimizing the images too (one of them was 3mb when accessed via a URL) for best performance, and also ensures the image link can't break (because it is now stored in the story).
