Having trouble configuiring Shortlist Story Map: Error WebMapID is not defined

TravisGallo · ‎03-18-2016

I am trying to configure my Shortlist Story Map (http://arcg.is/1LUXwIY ) with our organizations website. I am just getting a spinning loading circle and the map never loads. I have configured the index.html page with my Webmap ID, copied the sample template for my .csv file and have removed any special characters in that file. I get the following errors:

Thanks in advance for your help!

I sort of figured this out. I downloaded a new template and put in my WebID and now it works. Maybe I tinkered with the original index file too much while trying to figure it out. Thanks for your help.

Hi Travis. that link you posted is a Story Map Series app not a Story Map Shortlist app.

I found your publicly shared web map in ArcGIS Onlline:

http://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=13dd36f4661e4d388833f57f102a56a0

And it draws OK in our test Story Map Shortlist instance:

http://storymaps.esri.com/templates/shortlist/?webmap=13dd36f4661e4d388833f57f102a56a0&DETAILS_PANEL...

Have you put the Shortlist code onto a web server or folder in a public website or hosting service? It should work if you put the ID of the web map into the Index.html file.

I suspect you are perhaps putting the ID of that Story Map Series story map app into the Index.html file, not the ID of a web map.

Hi Rupert, thank you for your response. Yes, we have it at a public site - Shortlist

Below is the index file where I believe i have the right ID.

Thanks again for your help!
