Embedding groups
Tip:One of the ways you can share a public group is to embed its web maps and web applications in a gallery on a web page such as a blog or your organization's website. The group provides the code you need and gives you options for the layout and display of the items. All you have to do is select the options you want, then copy and paste the text into your web page.
Note:You can only embed public groups, and only web maps and web applications display in the embedded gallery. Your organization may restrict members from sharing items outside the organization. If this is the case, users and publishers won't be able to embed groups. Administrators, however, can choose to share any group in the organization publicly then embed the group.
To embed a group in a website, follow the steps below.
- Open the public group you want to embed.
- Click the Share button to open the Share window.
- Click the Embed in a Website button. If this option is not available, it means the group is not public and you cannot embed it. If you are the owner of the group, and your organization allows sharing outside the organization, you can change its status to public. For more information on changing the status of groups you own, see Owning groups.
The Embed in a Website window is displayed.
- Choose a layout for the group items.
- Choose how to display the web maps and web applications: over the embedded gallery, in a new window with a predefined application, or in a new window with a configured application.
- Select a predefined application if you chose to display the items in a new window. For more information on predefined applications, see Creating applications with groups.
- Enter a URL to your application if you chose to display the items in a new window with a configured application.
- Select and copy the HTML code that's provided.
- Paste the code into your web page where you want the group to appear.
