Quick update: I figured part of this out - This HTML lets you imbed Google Docs into your own webpage - to let users edit/view stuff inplace: (found by doing lots of 'view source' and poking around)
(some html from your webpage here) <br> <iframe width=100% height=300 src="https://www.google.com/accounts/ ServiceLoginAuth? service=wise&continue=DOCURLHERE&Email=LOGINHERE&Passwd=PASSWORDHERE" > </iframe><br> (more of your html here) DOCURLHERE = url to the spreadsheet, you can get one to test with by looking in the URL bar of your browser after opening a Google spreadsheet LOGINHERE = user's google login PASSWORDHERE = user's google password This opens the document in a frame - and gives all the save/etc options. (I have some other javascript to allow resizing/etc.) Things I have left to figure out: - Better way to single-sign in the user from GAE, to avoid having his password written to the HTML - I would prefer 'fullscreen' mode, since it hides the header with extraneous info (ie: google navbar, etc) which is accessible via shift-f inside the spreadsheet editor, but I need a way to invoke it by default... would make it look 'truely' seemless in my GAE webpage - A way to calculate the doc URL programatically (I'm hoping the Docs APIs have some info - haven't researched there yet) If anyone has tips / has done this before... info is much appreciated, Thanks, On Nov 1, 5:18 pm, sal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm sure there's probably a simple answer out there for this one... > but minor brainflub is preventing me from connecting the dots yet - I > thought someone on the list might have a tiny bit of insight: > > What I'm trying to figure out: > > I'd like the user to click a link/button within my GAE app. The event > queries datastore, and shows the data inside of a Google Docs > Spreadsheet.
