Embed a Google Folder in Populr.me
We’ve had a few people who became big fans of populr.me. They’re also using Google Docs/Drive and since I like things to blend . . . here’s how you embed a Google Drive folder into populr.me. The example is here if you want to check it out.
Getting That iFrame Stuff
I started to write directions on how to do this but just built a little tool instead.

Display Google Sheets JSON with JQUERY
I’ve been doing my Google JSON display using Angular but I wanted to see what I could do with jQuery. This is based on the post here by Amit (to whom I am grateful for all the great stuff he puts out) with minor updates due to changes in how Google does things. Do make sure you’ve published your sheet at HTML and note that the 1 in the URL structure is the first page if you have multiple sheets.
Setting Cell Values – Google Forms/Sheets Workflow
flickr photo shared by Internet Archive Book Images with no copyright restriction (Flickr Commons) Often, people really like the workflows enabled by Google Forms but they’d like it to go one step farther . . . like adding up two submitted items, or running a particular function/formula against the submitted data. You can certainly go in there and manually enter formulas or drag down to apply them to additional cells but that sucks and if you’re automatically displaying this data live somewhere it’s an impediment to a solid workflow. Most importantly, it sets a human to do something that a machine ought to be doing- that is the path to Skynet assuming control. We can and must resist! Subjugate the machines whenever possible! The script below is broken into three parts and shows two different ways to set the value for columns based on data entered in a form. Part 1 – This is pretty much default information that lets the script know which spreadsheet and which page it’s working with. The getLastRow() is really handy for applying this to data as it is entered. This example form writes data to columns A – K. In example one, we do the math internally and just spit the result into the cell. That’s handy for lots of stuff and can be […]
RVArts – Dealing with Dates in WordPress
We have an awesome general education course starting this semester called Cultural Passport (aka RVArts). The goal is to get students involved with the community’s cultural events – participating, promoting, reviewing them. The web side of this ends up being pretty interesting. See their video below for more details on the course. When we started this conversation last year, I thought I was going to go the Gravity Form submission routeI thought I wrote a full tutorial on this but can’t find it. I often have unrealized good intentions though . . . and use a js library to make it possible to add the events to various calendars. Like most projects, particulars shifted and we started changing things pretty radically right before winter break. We ended up shooting for full WordPress editor access for students to create events and the desire to write three different types of responses (interviews, reviews, and features) that would be associated with a specific event. Also, like most projects, this was all a bit beyond what I’d ever done before. I started off thinking I’d create a custom post type for events. I was trying to make up my mind between using Advanced Custom Fields and CMB to help do that when I realized I hadn’t really thought about repeat events. The complexities involved […]
