Everything I do comes up blank in the StoryMap preview.

Looked up "base URL" and followed a few different sets of wonky instructions to find the "base URL" and plugged them into StoryMap, nothing. The next step is to put the "base URL" into StoryMap's gigapixel setup. I set the folder to public, so it's accessible. Finally, to set the view to be centered on the Knight Lab, (or Fisk Hall) we will give the function the longitude and latitude 42.0507, -87.6742, as well as how close we want to be, 13. As per the previously mentioned instructions, I uploaded all of the image tiles into a folder on Google Drive, because I need the image tiles on a web server in order to plug them into StoryMap. I now have a folder of image tiles after zoomifying. Timeline With Timeline, users can build visually rich, interactive timelines from a spreadsheet, creating a detailed timeline of events or highlighting someone’s life experiences. to then turn into an interactive map.Īfter I pieced together the image, I used Adobe Photoshop to zoomify it.

I did it this way because that was the best advice I could find online for how to covert an interactive map into an image. It was time-consuming, but I like jigsaws so it wasn't so bad. I did this by essentially take screen shots of a zoomed in map and piecing them together. First I pieced together a large png file (in MS Paint, because Windows) to use as the hi-res image base for the gigapixel map. I followed these instructions after some research. Like TimelineJS, StoryMapJS is primarily developed by. Today were excited to announce an early-access release of its sibling, StoryMapJS. TimelineJS is the Knight Labs most popular project, and is one of the most widely used interactive storytelling tools on the web.

So, I'm trying to build a gigapixel base map on StoryMap. Announcing StoryMapJS developer release a new tool for storytellers.
