Nice work on your Story Map Shortlist by the way! http://maps.ci.liberty.mo.us/ParksShortlist/ Tip You could make the green lines in the your map clickable if you like (give them the expected set of attributes and then name that layer in the config parameter for clickable layers). For example in this one we made the trolley routes and neighborhood boundaries clickable: http://storymaps.esri.com/stories/shortlist-sandiego/    If you need any help with that ping us on: Story Maps ...

Same deal. We need to know which Esri Story Map app you are using in order to help. Also, post links to the web page you are trying to insert. Rupert ... View more

How about providing a bit more info? For example which of the story map apps are you using? Story Map Tour, Story Map Journal, etc. See the list here if you are not sure of the name: Apps | Story Maps Also assuming this is a story map that can be shared publicly (i.e not one just for use inside an enterprise), can you post a link to your story too, and to the web map you are having a problem with.

One more thing: instead of specifying your web map ID in your downloaded map tour code, you can specify the AppID of the Story Map Tour web app you already authored in ArcGIS Online. It's a better approach because in this way your self-hosted download will pick up the settings you chose when you authored your tour in the Story Map Tour Builder. For example I found your hosted map tour in ArcGIS Online: http://pwa.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapTour/index.html?appid=0b18a325919a413aa2d2723378405cb4 Looks good! Very nice work!!! I then followed the same steps as I listed above to download the Story Map Tour source code, but instead of specifying your web map ID in my Index.html, I specified your app ID:     webmap: "",     appid: "0b18a325919a413aa2d2723378405cb4", The resulting self-hosted tour is: http://downloads.esri.com/blogs/places/test/maptour8/ which matches the header, logo etc of your hosted tour app because it gets those definitions from your app. So it is a much cleaner approach to set up a self-hosted tour app pointing at a tour app you already authored in ArcGIS Online. (In my index.html I set firstRecordAsIntro (line 61) to be false to match your hosted app). Also I should ask: the hosted Story Map Tour you already made looks really great and is a great idea to introduce the world to your team! Is there a specific reason you need to download the Story Map Tour code and self-host it? For example is there a customization you want to make to the code to change the appearance or functionality? I thought I'd ask to make sure because simply creating a Story Map Tour hosted in ArcGIS Online is easier.Some people reading may think they have to download the code to make a Story Map Tour. The only Esri Story Map apps you currently have to download in order to deploy are the Story Map Shortlist, Story Map Countdown and Story Map Playlist (and we are working on updating the Story Map Shortlist to make it hosted in ArcGIS Online in 2016). If you are sure you want to self-host, another thing I'd ask is are you sure you need to set up an Amazon instance to host the code? You could just download the code into a folder on your website's web server/hosting service, and host it there so that the resulting self-hosted tour uses your company domain. ... View more

Your web map works OK for me in a map tour I just set up by downloading the Story Map Tour from Github. Here's what I did: 1. Went to Story Map Tour | Story Maps​, scrolled down to the bottom of the page and clicked on 'Download configurable app' to download a zip file from Github containing the source code. You can also get the same zip file from the Releases page on Github: Releases · Esri/map-tour-storytelling-template-js · GitHub 2. Copied the contents of that zip file from my PC's Downloads folder into the wwwroot folder of my localhost private test web server (but could also copy it directly onto the public facing web server or website space I'll be using instead and not do a local test). 3. Edited Index.html to enter the ID of your web map in the webmap line of that file (line 45). Saved it. 4. Tested it in my web browser. 5. Copied the whole folder onto a public web server I have access to. I also renamed the folder from maptour to maptour6 because I have a couple of maptour tests in that location. Here's the resulting Story Map Tour using your web map. http://downloads.esri.com/blogs/places/test/maptour6/ ... View more

Thanks Kenneth, it sounds like you are really after a different app UI, or would need to download the app and do some customization. Have you had a look at the other story map apps on our App list. ... View more
