H Gregory,
First and foremost I'm not a programmer, but I currently taking some JavaScript classes. I'm having the same issues as Matthew was, but here's what I'm doing.
1. I downloaded the user version
2. Created a folder titled 'map_tour' and placed it here C:\inetpub\wwwroot\map_tour
3. Opened the index.html file and copied and pasted my appid (not mapid) into the appid location
Now what do I do, double-click on the index.html to see my map tour? If so, the fatal error is coming up. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Andy
Hi Andy,
Cool, well you have done 99% of the work, double clicking on index.html won't work (I know we should have a clear error when you do that), you have to open the app served through your web server like by entering http://127.0.0.1/map_tour/ in your web browser.
I made the instructions for our latest template (Map Journal) better and will edit Map Tour documentation to follow the same pattern soon, please check it out if the previous advice doesn't help: Esri/map-journal-storytelling-template-js · GitHub
H Gregory,
Thanks for the quick response, if I’m trying to open the app through my PC (by making it a web server) how would you recommend I do this? I’ve used the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex which essentially does this for you (see picture below), would it be similar to this? If so, I’ve tried this in my web browser (http://pc2321.ics.inlandgroup.net/map_tour/) and the error still comes up. Is there something in the IIS (Internet Information Services) Manager I need to turn on, off, or setup by chance?
Thanks,
Andy
Any web server should works. You don't need any special configuration.
I can't access your server so I can't help diagnose more... could you post a screenshot of the index.html configuration section.
There is more information about web servers in map Journal documentation Esri/map-journal-storytelling-template-js · GitHub
Hi Andy,
So that's not the exact same error. That's a different issue, your appid doesn't seems to exist in ArcGIS Online.
See below you have the same error with hosted Map Tour or with the item page
http://www.arcgis.com/apps/MapTour/index.html?appid=0bd53d43fb24a5c9d899106b7b4f957
http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=0bd53d43fb24a5c9d899106b7b4f957
How did you create that appid?
If you try with that appid 560eeb563fa348b7a91c6e2352bc4cd8 does it work?
