So I made this google apps script to use the google picker on my google sites webpage. The apps script is inserted into the webpage via the google apps script gadget. This all functions as I intended, however, it does not behave the way I'd like it to or expected. Everything is rendered inside the requisite IFRAME. And from what I can find and tried, this has to be the case (please correct me if I'm wrong). This requires me to provide the screen real estate to show the picker even when it's not visible - which is pretty poor design. Does anyone know a way around this? That is, to make the picker modal to or pop out of the IFRAME instead stuck inside it?

I want to display an editable Google Sheet on a web page.
No problem for that.
The problem: I want to display this sheet without the menus, columns and lines. Is it possible ?
Or display the sheet in full screen mode, but I do not know the javascript function to execute when opening the sheet.
Ex.: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xwheykkZMb806JKNoPGcVl17TpIm4Z9LTLJb8HAhVVk/edit?usp=sharing
How to do ?
Thank you
Go to File > Publish to the Web.
And then, you will see this kind of pop up. You can publish it and also get the link. Google Slide and Docs also have this feature. As you can see it, you can also get embed tag for inserting it in HTML. You can stop publishing with the Stop publishing button whenever you want.
And as far as I know, there is no such thing that you can edit the file with that mode.
I am creating a google apps script for a private reason but this is nothing about the code. If you are confused by the title, I will explain what I mean:
I'm pretty sure most google drive users have used add-ons before. When you launch an addon, it runs a script. Perfectly normal, but the thing is, you don't know when it is running a script because there isn't anything indicating it. What I want is to hide that big blue bar that appears when you run a script.
I tried looking at Google Apps Script's website but if you tried searching something like this on the web, your browser won't understand you which is why I decided to use stack overflow.
Here is a picture of what I want to get rid of:
as you can see here the I want to hide the "Finished Script" thing using Google Apps Script or some other way.
Based from this blog, as soon as you click the Apps Script button, you’ll see a yellow bar "Running function <function-name>". This will indicate that the script is running. When done, the bar will read “Finished Script”. This is a built-in Google Apps Script feature. I think you will not be able to remove this feature.
I have a custom script that runs when i click an image i insert in a google spreadsheet ... everything is working on non-touch devices ... but on mobile, inside the sheets app, it does no trigger the function ... it just selects the image
am i doing anything wrong here?
are google script supposed to work inside the sheets app? if not i really do no see the point of using them
link is not the solution, custom menus also do not appear on the sheets app ... i am literally left without any idea to try out
thanks
As far as I know Google Apps Script runs only on Desktop computer and that too only when Script is allowed to run on your browser. For most part Google Apps Script is same as JavaScript. I have tried to run them on Android phones but without any success.
I have a Google Doc add-on that utilizes the sidebar: no problem there. When one uses the Google research add-on, there is an secondary slide out from the sidebar that shows a preview of a search result (see picture below) when clicked. I am hoping to replicate this behaviour, but I see nothing about it in the api regarding size and limits. I tried having a tooltip pop up on my links in the sidebar, but they appear cut off or under the main Google Doc palette. I have tried a bunch of other Google Doc add-ons to see if any of them replicate this functionality, but they don't. Before I spend hours on this, I want to first ask is anyone know if this is specific permission for Google's sidebar only, or can developers replicate this functionality?
The Research Tool is a direct integration with Docs and Presentations, it's not a Google Apps Script add-on. The freedom to "slide out" within the document is not available to add-ons today.
As one alternative, you could use an accordion affect to collapse your "first page" and overlay the result page, still within the bounds of the sidebar.
A second alternative would be to use a non-modal window, where you'd have more freedom. (resizing there requires client-server exchanges, but is doable)
I am having trouble getting Google Maps to work on my mobile website Here is my google maps direction page that i have been using for a while now. Here is the code in a txt file
The problem is that google maps doesn't show the route anymore but just the fronpage of google maps mobile.
Have there been some changes that i don't know about, this used to always work?
Thanks
Dave
make sure your form has a saddr and an eaddr fields (i have mine set to hidden) and change the form action just simply to "http://maps.google.com", no need for "m" or "directions", it'll just figure it all out now, which action it should take, based on the user agent I guess.
This will however, on mobile platforms, prompt an activity picker on android or launch google maps automatically on iPhone.
From what Im seeing at this point in the game, the onyl way around forcing anything is to write your own parser for the Google Directions API, using a combination of cURL and the json_decode function of PHP
:\ sadly
