I used customized infowindows with my Google fusion table. To have information display conditionally, I used dynamic templating, as described here:
https://support.google.com/fusiontables/answer/3081246?hl=en
Recently, the infowindows stopped working, they display as blank. I think the issue is related to the dynamic templating, because if I switch to the normal window it displays okay.
Has something changed with Google's dynamic templating?:
{template .contents}
{/template})
Even Google's demo isn't working: https://www.google.com/fusiontables/data?docid=1ZJE87ylGzbXZ0STzc2RuQ5uprjhUZPTntsxBguY
I'm seeing it too. I've filed it with the team to take a look.

I am currently working with Google Script which accepts the user input and store in the other spreadsheet. This logic works ok but to facilitate this, I have created a form like provision on my worksheet and placed some images which look like buttons. When I (and other collaborators) open this spreadsheet, we often observe that images are not on their place as shown below,
Note: See above, buttons (images) 'Get Case Details' & 'Deletegate Tasks' are not on their original positions. Ideally, they should appear as below,
As a workaround, I just go to some other tab/worksheet and come back to mine which shows the image location correctly.
I checked this discussion on Google Doc forum but looks like a known issue, no answer yet.
Does anyone have any idea? Has anyone come across this problem?
Besides the discussion that you linked, there a lot of other similar reports over the years on the Google Docs Help Forum and other places on the web.
One alternative is to increase the whitespace around the buttons. Another alternative is to use another UI element like custom menus, a side panel or dialogs.
So I've got a couple of different fusiontable visualizations in a google site:
https://sites.google.com/site/hlsbeta123123123123/
I am wondering if there is a way to link them so that when a pin in the map is selected the corresponding card is shown in the other iframe?
What I'd really like to be able to do is offer people a search over the fusion table via the google site, so that when somebody searched in the site search, they'd get back a list of hits in the map and cards, and have them all linked up together ... Any simple way to do this over paired visualizations or would this have to be custom site built on the fusiontables API?
I know fusion tables wizard:
http://fusion-tables-api-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/FusionTablesLayerWizard/src/index.html
can provide something like this for a single visualization, but am unclear about linking multiple visualizations - maybe that's just completely impractical ...
Many thanks in advance

p.s. Here's a current screenshot in case it the site changes :-)
It's possible, but instead of the iframe-map you must create the map on your own to be able to modify the default behaviour(opening of the infoWindow on click and load the filtered card instead).
It's not much difficult, the most of the src you will get with map->publish->get HTML and javascript
All you have to do is:
supress the infoWindows(set the suppressInfoWindows-option of the layer to true)
observe the click-event of the layer and load the card based on a unique col(Charity Number appears to be unique)
google.maps.event.addListener(layerl0, 'click',function(e){
document.getElementById('cards')//iframe-element
.src='https://www.google.com/fusiontables/embedviz?viz=CARD&q=select+*+from+1ZnLJPfdXgiD49s3JO9Vyhf0VPGgBnzs-985jT3s+where+col1+%3D+'+e.row['Charity Number'].value+'&tmplt=4&cpr=1';
});

But actually showing the cards in an iframe forces a redundant request, instead you may fetch the contents of the infoWindow and insert them directly into the page.
How can I stop search engines indexing part of my page? Is there an HTML5 element for this?
Its just a line of text that I want to hide (a co-worker doesnt want their name on google for some reason). Im thinking that I could inject the text with javascript, but I have heard google does sometimes look inside javascript files.
I also thought of using images instead of text, but im concerned how this will look cross device and platform. Ive noted text rendering can differ on mac and pc and thats before ive had to think about mobile devices, retina displays, etc.
Thanks
You can't hide content unless you use the methods you've already outlined above. Your best bet is to use JavaScript in an external file and then block that file using robots.txt.
I need to implement a dialog for a web application (ASP.NET/C#) where users can search and select one or more clients from the company's database.
Actually an existing version is already used (see attached image) and I have to replace it with a new version (it comes from an external legacy software and will be dismissed).
The goal is to provide an intuitive and easy to use GUI, still providing the basic functionalities like: search for a client and add it or remove previously inserted.
My idea would be to develop the dialog with jQuery Dialog plugin and using web methods and Ajax/JSON to interact with them for interacting with the server and the DB. I cannot find a good solution yet for the contacts list, since I would avoid using GridViews or tables, if possible, for listing them.
Does anyone knows if further plugins or best patters exist for develop this UI and its functionalities?
I wanted to have the same in my application. After talking to the users i found that such dialog could easily be replaced by an Autocomplete with Multiple select.
See the jqueryUI demopage here.
If this does not fit your needs i would go with two lists <ol> or <ul>, a pagination plugin and perhaps a search plugin. But haven't done this so far.
Thanks for the hint, indeed for the search I also thought to a autocomplete for make the search easier.
My bigger concerns were about the Add and Remove selected Clients in a "modern" fashion.
I found this MultiSelect plugin that works perfectly for my needs (and maybe it could be useful for yours as well).
Not only it let use Multiselect to add/remove entries, but also have some auto-filtering capabilities when searching the entries. I will try to add this to my solution.
I am doing a Delphi transport application interacting with GoogleMaps APi and i would like to propose all "near by" names coming from the autocomplete Google Maps API when i enter the starting adress of the direction.
All of this will be displayed in a TCombobox when would be changed on the OnChange propertie.
Is that possible ??? ever heard of it ???
Thanks a lot

There is a part of the Google Maps API called The Google Places Autocomplete API. You can send requests (in the examples part of the reference page there is also the example with bounds for your purpose) as you will type in your combo box (ideally after some short delay for typos corrections). As the result you can receive either JSON or XML format file. After you parse it, you will get the list of appropriate suggestions.
I'm not sure with the Google Maps API Key; if it's possible to use it in standalone application (and about the limitations) because I haven't implemented static part of the Google Maps yet.
My first thought (assuming an approach which is based on remote controlling the web interface) was: this can be solved using TWebBrowser and friends (IWebBrowser2, IHTMLElement etc.). See my answer on this question to get a feeling for this. You could use Embedded Web Browser from bsalsa for easy access to all the Internet Explorer functionality.
My second thought was: there might be a part in the official API for this. But this I don't know. If there is none then the above approach could be a (work-intensive) workaround.
Yes, it's possible.
I have written a free and open source component that implements the Google Place Autocomplete and Google Place Details API's:
