google-docs

I am building a self-publishing web site. I want to integrate Google Docs into my website and allow every publisher/writer to write her/his book from my website and later update the content from either my website or directly from google docs, and to keep the two versions of content in sync. Is this possible? Thanks! Yes, this is possible. You can fetch Google Docs file content, and upload new content with the Google Documents List API . You will currently have to perform the sync manually yourself if you edit it outside Google Docs, in which case you would reupload the file content. New

I'm looking for a programmatic way to automate the generation of pre-filled URLs for google forms. In a recent update, Google introduced a new Forms product to Google Docs. If you open the tools menu in a spreadsheet, you'll see some new options. In the new Form Responses menu, one option is "Get pre-filled URL". This opens up a dialog containing a version of your form that you can fill out, and when you submit it, you receive a URL that can be used to open a Live Form with the data you pre-filled ready and waiting for you. The URL looks something like this... https://docs.google.com/forms/d/-

I feel like a total noob posting here. I know CSS, HTML, and XML pretty well but have always avoided JS. I know very little javascript and recently started a Lynda.com course to catch up. Sorry for my ignorance. As such, I am really struggling learning Google Apps Script. Obviously, I need to learn JS before I can make sense of any of it. The school I work for (5000 students) has set up an online curriculum. I created the curriculum in the form of thousands of google document worksheets. These worksheets are linked on various websites. The problem we are facing is that when students open the

I've got a pre-existing spreadsheet hosted on google docs. Each month I update this document. I've got a template workseet in the spreadseet that I'd like to clone and then update. I'd prefer to clone the worksheet rather than create it from scratch as it has some pretty complex formulas. I'm using the Python api for the google docs here: http://code.google.com/apis/spreadsheets/data/1.0/developers_guide_python.html Does anyone know how to clone and copy a worksheet in a pre-existing document? Edit I seemed to have confused one reader. I don't have an excel spreadsheet. I only have a Google

I'd like to know if it is possible to query a past exchange rate on Google Spreadsheet. For example; using formula =GoogleFinance("CURRENCY:USDEUR") will return the USD/EUR rate at this present moment. How can you retrieve a historic rate? In order to retrieve the historical rate, you have to use the following formula: =GoogleFinance("eurusd","price",today()-1,today()) Where today()-1, today() is the desired time interval, which can be explicitly defined as the static pair of dates, or implicitly, as the dynamically calculated values, like in the example above. This expression will return a

Or if not, are there any good IDE's or programs that are designed for real-time collaborative programming? lukasziegler Unfortunately I also haven't found a good way to use Google Docs for collaborative coding yet. It seems as if Google Docs (as of now) is not intended for collaborative coding. However there are a few good free alternatives, which might help you along the way. The first two are based upon the code of EtherPad , which has been aquired by Google in December 2009. My current favorite however is CollabEdit , which also supports syntax highlighting for different programming

I am curious to know how the Google Docs PDF viewer works? It's not a flash like scribd.com; it looks like pure HTML. Any idea how do they did it? Sample link to view the PDF Ben Everard Google is simply serving up an an image (right click -> save as), with an overlay to highlight text. You should check out this SO question where others go into more detail. You should also look through the source of your PDF link, it would appear Google are passing the PDF link through to be converted into an image. Example: <script type="text/javascript"> var gviewElement = document.getElementById('gview');
