Hi,

I can't view my Story Map as an administrator. Instead of being able to "View Application" I am taken to the "Map Tour Builder" page and am asked where my images are. I choose Flickr and then I get a screen from Smug Mug with their Terms & Conditions and wanting me to sign-up with them for a trial and do not seem to recognize my Flickr log-in. Not sure what to do- please advise. Here are the links to 2 story maps that are doing this:

Thanks,

Hi Clare

Might be a couple of things going on:

1. Actually read point 2 first because I think that is the issue not point 1: To use Flickr pics in Story Map Tour you don't need to sign-in to Flickr. Perhaps your Flickr pics are not shared publicly or no longer shared publicly? Your pics have to be shared publicly to work in Map Tour. What is your Flickr account name that you are entering into the Map Tour to access this pics. For example mine is Rupert Essinger (anyone can enter that account name into the Map Tour builder to use my publicly shared pics, and the Flickr URL to my pics is: Rupert Essinger’s albums | Flickr 

2. If you get bounced into the Builder when you try and just view your Map Tour it is usually because the tour wasn't saved yet or because it can't access the Map Tour Layer in the web map that the tour stores its places in.

The first tour URL you posted above isn't shared publicly: it prompts for a login to your ArcGIS Online Organization

The second tour URL you posted opens but no tour loads. I looked at the web map it uses:

https://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=684ffd852230440891ba6e163fd51276  

and the 'Map Tour Layer' has been turned off in that web map. That is what is causing the issue with the Map Tour launching the Builder when you launch it and not loading when I launch it.

If I save a copy of your web map, turn that layer on, save the web map, and then publish it as a Map Tour, I can create a Map Tour from it as expected. Looks good:

https://www.arcgis.com/apps/MapTour/index.html?appid=e7185f1902a04933816329a8968d2a4a 

So I think just turn that Map Tour Layer back on in the web map for your second Tour and it will work OK.

Rupert
