Description

Hi All,

Would it be possible to write a custom embed code for Arc GIS Storymaps. Below is sample Iframe the tool produces and a link.

Story Map embed code: <iframe src="https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/7a7a533b184f495c8a83a6a63cad810c" width="100%" height="500px" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen allow="geolocation"></iframe>

link: https://arcg.is/1H9uf5

Thanks,
Laurie

Yes, we can do something like this.

Could you tell me about the URL you provided? When I visit https://arcg.is/1H9uf5, it resolves to https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/7a7a533b184f495c8a83a6a63cad810c. It's easy for me to convert the latter URL to an embed, but the former is more complex - I would need to write a tool that resolves the URL to the full version. Where did you get the short version? Is this something that users are likely to paste into the editor? Would it be OK if we only allowed the long version?

Both links were provided by the faculty member.

If the latter is easier to create the embed with, and is the full URL anyway, let's move forward with that.

So yes, lets use the long version:

https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/7a7a533b184f495c8a83a6a63cad810c

Thanks!

Thanks Boone. When is the next release?

The semester ends on 12/13 and the professor is hoping to have students embed their maps as part of the final.

Apologies for such short notice. A plugin we had for this was working fine but then stopped functioning earlier this semester - I think when we updated to the new version of wordpress? https://wordpress.org/plugins/embed-webmap/

Regular maintenance releases are on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month. See https://dev.commons.gc.cuny.edu/release-schedule-and-procedures/ for more details.

I've built the shortcode and embed code in https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/f2f904ddf9d4ecc064bb6a73ec340284b9e8cba3. To use, put the Storymaps URL its own line in the editor. For greater control over 'height' and 'width', you can also use a shortcode:

[storymaps url="https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/7a7a533b184f495c8a83a6a63cad810c" height="800px" width="600px"]

I've deployed this to production for immediate use.
