Is it possible to embed the Web Map Viewer in a custom web app and enable users to create Web Maps?
I would like to do something similar on what you can do in several story maps (like Journal, Cascade, ...), something like this:
As you can notice the viewer is embedded and there is a "Save button" outside (for some reason the default save button isn't there when you embed the viewer).
So then, I downloaded the storymap-journal source code and try to do the same in localhost and I got this message:
That was disturbing, why is that? is it to avoid problem with the cookies?
Trying to understand how the "Save" button is implemented I opened the console and saw a debug message when I clicked it, then I checked the source code and I found the function which is called in the MapViewerWrapper.js file:
this.send = function(json)
{
console.log("MV sending", json);
try {
params.frameWindow.postMessage(JSON.stringify(json), MapViewerWrapperUtils.getPortalURL());
} catch ( error ) {
// This doesn't seems to be called as the error would happen in the frame
params.onError(error );
}
};
Debugging I check the "json" object and it contains something like:
{type: "hasUnsavedChanges"}
And the "MapViewerWrapperUtils.getPortalURL()" is returning:
"http://hhkaos.maps.arcgis.com"
I don't think it is a cross-domain issue with the postMessage, right?
So I just wanted to ask if any of you have tried to do what I want to do, or just know if it is possible.
Thanks in advance,
Raul
P.S: I tried two years ago when the "Save button" was still inside the iframe, but I think it was removed in one ArcGIS Online update.
