iphone5 Safari: When I click on the share and try to copy/paste the bit.ly link

Here is the copy / paste

{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252
{\fonttbl\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 Helvetica;}
{\colortbl;\red255\green255\blue255;\red119\green119\blue119;\red255\green255\blue255;}

\f0\fs28 \cf2 \cb3 \expnd0\expndtw0\kerning0
\outl0\strokewidth0 \strokec2 http://bit.ly/1u39NDe}

Here is the actual bit.ly http://bit.ly/1uUBT49

When I share via email - it correctly adds the bit.ly.

Noticed that when setting this up as a map template, the map it is using needs to be public, or the map will never load and it will continue to spin. The authentication prompt never gets displayed.

When I enter these coordinates into the search I get a pan but no zoom or indicator of the location.

-119.923, 38.284

It should probably at least add a pin to the map?

Can someone else please test ASAP?

Update to search() widget with location point.

For example, if you have 25 incident types define in a layer it get's really confusing when that data doesn't show in the map.

This is feedback we received from City of Boulder, West Douglas Fire District, and the USGS.

Can we tried the facebook feed?? does it have any restrictions to it??

It is not always clear to the end user what they are swiping

Would it be possible to add a little label or lightbox when the map loads?

"Use this swipe tool to show/hide the Fire-related Weather Warnings"

When I click on share extent - it does not update the URL or the embed code by the current extent.

@driskull - it appears you have fixed this but I wanted to confirm.

The following should be included in Defaults.js from line 38 so it is easier to configure:

//Go to http://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/items/df8bcc10430f48878b01c96e907a1fc3/data?f=pjson and input below the appropriate operational layer that you want to configure as swipe layer
"swipeLayer": {
"fields": [],
"id": ""
},

When this template is used with a web map that has a basemap with another coordinate system than Web Mercator (EPSG:3857) or WGS84 (EPSG:4326), a javascript error will appear stating that "Cannot read property xmin of undefined".

From what I can tell, the reason for this is the code on line 254 in the file js/ShareDialog.js where it tries to get the map.geographicExtent, which according to the API is only available for maps with WebMercator or WGS84 spatial reference:
https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/3/jsapi/map-amd.html#geographicextent

Some of this functionality existed in older social media application

Clicked on sample link: http://esri.github.io/public-information-map-template-js/ and webpage gets stuck on loading splash screen. Opened up developer tools and clicked on the console tab and found this.

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property '3' of null

Any ideas on how to fix?

Hi, I just noticed that the Panels tab (Legend, About, Layers) and the text inside of them and title panel are not displaying properly in Firefox nor Internet Explorer. Parts of text of the words are missing. The web maps look fine in Chrome. I'm using Firefox 31 and IE 9 on Windows 7.

I noticed this on both maps I've made and on the sample map here: http://esri.github.io/public-information-map-template-js/.

See screenshot of missing text:

Can someone address this issue? Thanks.

When I run it in Japanese environment, I coudn't see it and get an error message as the following.
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)
http://esri.github.io/public-information-map-template-js/js/nls/ja/ShareDialog.js

I think that ShareDialog.js file should be put into each language folders as 'public-information-map-template-js\js\nls\ja'.
What do you think about it?

Example: http://www.arcgis.com/apps/PublicInformation/index.html?appid=916e279280254fad9c2de9852a857ace

Here at the US level it is only showing a few and none near California

When I zoom into SoCal some tweets appear

Not sure if this is a limitation of the Twitter API or maybe the search extent needs to be adjusted?

This template doesn't work with browsers with language settings in French. JavaScript console repports an error 404 on the file

http://xxxxx.maps.arcgis.com/apps/PublicInformation/js/nls/fr/ShareDialog.js

see note on item page: http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=f01baaccb4b84bcbb9ac0810e717cae3

i created a very Simple aplication for show a map by javascript api
when i open the page in restore down mode in my browsers i have no problem.
but when i open it on maximize mode the map loads just on the half of page.
can any body help me?
this is my code:
`

<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1,user-scalable=no">

require ([
      "esri/map", "esri/dijit/Scalebar", 
  "esri/layers/ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer",
      "dojo/domReady!"
], function(
    Map, Scalebar, ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer
) {


        var map1 = new esri.Map("mapDiv", {logo:false});
    var basemap = new ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer("http://localhost:6080/arcgis/rest/services/MyMapService3/MapServer");
    map1.addLayer(basemap);


        var scalebar = new Scalebar({
              map: map1,
              scalebarUnit: "dual"
            });

        }
    );

The scalebar widget in this app always show english (non-metric) units.

Hey @driskull
I was working with the PIM and I turned on Istagram Twitter and Flicker for a day. As you can see the social media is covering everything on my map. It would be nice if I could drag the social media, lower in my layers so I could see the features that under the feeds.

I've tried to configure this template and use the included example. Neither work on Chrome or firefox. Others haveing this issue?

Widget or template that allows exporting data from a webmap with layers.
Select layers you want to download data for, select an area, select output formats.

Better as a template that would do the export.

Can someone else confirm this issue? When I copy the bit.ly from the share dialog and paste into email, it copies the dialog box graphic not the actual bit.ly code.

In this example - it is not filtering by day.
http://disasterresponse.maps.arcgis.com/home/webmap/configureApp.html?appid=a2b187e887924f4488d273b5972ea062

See screen

Can you give us the ability to change the ESRI logo? Also, can you add the printer widget?

Thanks.

It seems like the splash screen could use some design enhancements or perhaps just use a similar framework to the Web AppBuilder Splash widget? This is important because it is the first impression the Public has of an agency map.

Notice below the X and the outline around it overlaps with the title.

Hello,

I deployed the Public Information Map on our dev webserver and am having issues with the Instagram Layer. In the Chrome Dev tools, I get the message that the Access Token is not being accepted. I have gone to Instagram's site and generated a new one. My question is, where do I put it in the Map?

Thanks!

Does anyone have any suggestions on properly setting up the proxy for deploying the PIM? I've successfully deployed numerous wabs using the proxy, but I'm having a heck of time getting it to work with this template. I've added my proxy url to the default.js and added the following code to my templateConfig.js, but no dice....still getting prompted for my AGO creds.

urlUtils.addProxyRule({
urlPrefix: "organization.maps.arcgis.com",
proxyUrl: "http://URL/proxy.ashx"
});

Any guidance or examples would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Bill

Today @LaurenMcArtney and myself are building a demonstration and it appears that the Public Information template does not "hydrate" from my ArcGIS Online organization Basemap GroupIn other words, only the Esri Default basemaps show up in the application builder.

This is important because here in New Zealand we use local content and projection for all of our basemaps as a best practice. Is this is a bug or by design?

I think when it comes to Public Maps, some audiences like to know the number of views a map has received. Perhaps we could add this in on the About page?

Hey ESRI team,

We’re writing to inform you of some changes we are implementing over the next few months in order to improve the user experience when Tweets are created with location data. Some of these changes should be visible in the Twitter UI and have an effect on the Tweet payload starting today.

You may have noticed recent changes to the Twitter UI allowing a user to geotag their Tweet using venue data powered by Foursquare. If a user selects the Foursquare powered venue when Tweeting, the “place” section of the Tweet data payload will include the venueID, place name, and lat/long coordinates of the venue. This has significant benefits for data consumers. Place data can now be used to associate individual Tweets with specific venues. In addition, the lat/long coordinates of these venues are much more specific than the lat/long bounding boxes provided with the previous place types--neighborhood, city, or country. These non-venue places will still be available for selection in the UI and the resulting place data in the payload will be unchanged.

We are working on other improvements to the user experience when Tweeting with location to keep that experience consistent with our users’ expectations. As a part of these changes, the number of Tweets with the “coordinates” payload element, which is a lat/long associated with a Tweet and not a place, is expected to decrease significantly. This specific change will begin to roll out in late April. We don’t expect this change to cause any decrease in the overall number of Tweets with "place" data, including the lat/long coordinates defining the place bounding box.

All of these payload changes are backward compatible and will not result in any changes to the structure of the Tweet payload. You can view a sample payload of a Tweet associated with a venue to better understand these changes.

Please let me know if you have any questions regarding these changes.

Dear YouTube Developer,

You are receiving this email because your address is associated with a project that has recently accessed the YouTube Data API (v2), which will soon be shut down. Please disregard this message if you're not associated with such a project. There won't be any further emails.

In March 2014, we announced that the v2 API would be retired on April 20, 2015, and would be shut down soon thereafter. To help you with your migration, we published the migration guide in September. Now, we'd like to provide you with more details on the v2 retirement timeline.

As of April 20, 2015, v2 API endpoints will be shut off with the following exception: We will keep the v2 versions of the comments, captions, and flagging features accessible for a grace period past the shutdown date. These features are still listed as "To be supported" in the migration guide. The grace period is designed to give you time to implement the new v3 versions of these features as they become available. In addition, the v2 API endpoint for uploading videos will also remain open during this time.

If you would like to test your application's reaction to the v2 API shutdown, point it to eol.gdata.youtube.com instead of gdata.youtube.com.

Please migrate your app to the YouTube Data API v3 at your earliest convenience to avoid any outage.

For more information please visit: YouTube Data API v2 Turndown FAQ.

If you have any questions about the YouTube Data API v2 turndown, you can reach us via the this support form.

The YouTube API Team

We now offer a new API method which is more suitable for displaying the
webcams on a map than the one our are currently using. Have a look at:
http://www.webcams.travel/developers/api/wct.map.bbox

(This question also posted in ESRI forum: https://geonet.esri.com/thread/113761)

The problem:
A colleague of mine had asked me to help out on a map he designed. We have an augmented ESRI map template that provides live traffic video feeds via an iframe embedded popup. When viewed in Internet Explorer (version 10) and Firefox (version 31) the map and popups work as desired. However in Google Chrome (version 37), after clicking on and closing two, maybe three, of the camera locations and getting the popups, the map locks in the pan mode. The only way to get out of the locked pan is to refresh the browser window.

The map:
Our map is found here: http://geodata.md.gov/ospreypublic/
And it is an augmented form of the ESRI Public Information Map:
http://solutions.arcgis.com/emergency-management/help/public-information/
https://github.com/Esri/public-information-map-template-js

What’s involved:
The mapping application utilizes this webmap: http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=af0bd454bd524202bfc6963665060f49
The popup for the live traffic video feeds utilizes this REST service: http://geodata.md.gov/appdata/rest/services/OspreyPublic/TrafficCameras/MapServer/0
using the “iframe” field.

Here is a sample value from the “iframe” field:
"iframe": "\u003ciframe width="481" height="361" src="http://www.chart.state.md.us/video/videoshare.asp?feed=c1ff9c0c00a100ab0050fa36c4235c0a\" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c/iframe\u003e"
It is being called into play via webmap.js in “mediaInfos” under “popupInfo” as
"description": "{iframe}"
for the TrafficCameras map service.

The video stream:
The video stream uses JW Player 6.6 and the streams originate from here:
http://www.chart.state.md.us/TravInfo/trafficcams.php

Some source code for the map:
http://geodata.md.gov/ospreypublic/webmap.js
http://geodata.md.gov/ospreypublic/js/main.js
http://geodata.md.gov/ospreypublic/css/popup.css

What I’ve done:
I’ve searched the web for some solutions. Most notably, after a while I came across this link:
https://geonet.esri.com/thread/101650
and this one:
https://geonet.esri.com/message/64744#64744
Both links mention very similar issues that I’ve encountered and both have commentary that point to a possible bug in Google Chrome.
I’ve have tried some workarounds.

When setting the defaultBasemap option to something other than the basemap that the underlying web map uses, the app will first show the web maps basemap. When the user then does a basemap toggle, it will show the basemap set as the toggle option. On the next toggle, the app will then show the basemap specified as defaultBasemap.

Or to be more clear:

1. Create a new Web Map in ArcGIS Portal or AGOL
2. Use Streets as the basemap
3. Share as Public Information app
4. Configure public information app to use the Topographic map as Default Basemap
5. And the National Geographic map as next Basemap.
6. When the app loads, it will display the Streets basemap
7. First click on Toggle will display the National Geographic basemap
8. Next click on Toggle will display the Topographic basemap.

I believe the end user expects the Basemap Toggle to always toggle between the same two maps.
So either show the basemap set as Default Basemap when the application loads, irregardless of which basemap was used in the web map, or toggle between the "Next basemap" and the basemap that was used on the web map.

It seems like the BasemapToggle dijit code actually should fetch the map's current basemap when toggling, and put that as previous basemap (and default basemap), but for some reasons, it works the way described above.

It appears I cannot share subscriber content via the Public Information application.

Workflow
I check the boxes to allow subscriber content to be seen in the application...

Then when I load the application outside my organization account, it prompts a sign-in...the Console shows several token errors.

When I go back to the configuration builder, the boxes are unchecked...:(

Even if there is a setting in my org blocking my sharing subscriber content - the app configuration should notify me of this.

Would it be possible to resize images when they are embedded on the about page?

We have received a few requests for being able to change the color of the panel / text on this application. Maybe just use color picker and optional box to add a hex code.

Hi, Would it also be possible to add the measure and draw widgets to the template?

Thanks!

When the map is embedded in a website, the user should be able to view it in full screen - like videos on Youtube. I've seen such a sample for the arcgis javascript api somewhere on Github, but I can't find it anymore.
Perhaps it is possible to make it configurable, with enabled by default.

We configured the application to search the term "hurricane" by default. When I load the app it is not filtered in the legend and the map shows YouTube without the word hurricane.

Then when I open the settings (as shown)

It shows the word "hurricane" BUT the map does not reflect this until I hit the Search button.

Is there any way to "freeze" the panel headers?

Hi, is it also possible to create a function that zooms in and displays a point symbol for the address location typed into the geocoder?

Hey Matt,

I'm having issues getting the tweets to display properly. I keep logging in but they don't show up and it still says "Sign in to Twitter."

Any thoughts or suggestions?
