linking fusion tables visualizations, offering search over fusiontables - google-fusion-tables

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.

importxml function in Googlesheet

First of all, I'm completely incompetent and my hours-long attempts at trying to make this work have been fruitless. So, please, there's someone that can help me.
I have
table id="..........." tablesorter class="........"
They are in the same line of code ad I'm able to scrape until the first element. For me it's important to scrape by the second one. I'm tryng different way but nothing
investing
In the image, in the part highlighted on the left where there is the drop-down menu, it's possible to select the different American markets (Nasdaq, DowJones,
S&P500 etc.). When I select a market other than DowJones, the URL of the page always remains the same, while the part that I highlighted on the right changes (tablesorter class = "............").
In my sheet, I've done this but it can't allow me to scrape different market (only the default table thay you see when open the webpage)
spreadsheet
Your main problem is that IMPORTXML can only retrieve information from static content in websites. Therefore, any content inserted dynamically can't be retrieved by this function.
In your case, you can check what content is not static by heading over to the website https://it.investing.com/equities/americas and then disabling JavaScript on it. To do so if you are using Chrome please follow this guide.
As Javascript will add dynamic content to the site, when you disable it you will observe that the information subject to change with the dropdown doesn't actually change which means that it was dynamically inserted and therefore can't be accessed by IMPORTXML. I have attached an image below showing this.
As a workaround to this you will need to use other web scraping techniques.

Creating a sidebar that references Google Fusion Table

I am trying to create a sidebar to go along with the google map visualization I've created with fusion tables. I found this page fusion table with sidebar with an updated SQL query statement. I've tried implementing a similar statement and I am unable to view the map. What am I doing wrong? Here is my code with the SQL statement:
https://gist.github.com/anonymous/0a9214027de977e40ed04b9db17cc7f7
I don't have the expertise or time to correct all the JavaScript at moment, but I can see a few issues I noticed that could be causing you issues.
You don't have an API call included in the query, which
can be found/created at
https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library.
You're not querying the correct column for your location (col4, not col2). It starts at 0; so col0, col1, ...
You need to create a map and then load the Fusion Table layer over it.
There's possibly a few more issues I didn't immediately see. An alternative to trying to fix this custom code is to use the "Searchable Map Template" by Derek Elder. It uses Bootstrap for CSS, you plug in your API key, Google Fusion Tables ID, and the location column. It allows for filters to be input, like your Genre drop-down menu. It's free, fairly well documented, and has a support group to help with any questions or issues.
Maybe that's what you need if you just want a quicker fix. I realize I didn't exactly answer your question, but if you could upvote the answer if it was a least somewhat useful, I'd appreciate it.

Need Google App Script to Generate Fusion Table Views

Is it possible to use Google App Script to create fusion table views (from an existing FT) and, optionally with filter settings? I need to enumerate the columns of the FT (which I know how to do) and create different views and ideally, I need to get their URLs too. I have not seen any documentation or examples that discuss this.
OK, I found the docs that show how to do this. See: https://developers.google.com/fusiontables/docs/v2/sql-reference#createView

Query data from Google Spreadsheet generated by Form

Currently we're having a request to integrate the Google Form functionality into our system. I'd done some searching on the web, and found that there's no way we can change the post processing of a Google Form unless we do some heavy customization using 3rd party tools.
Thus i have an idea that, when someone fill in the Google Form, he/she will need to fill in a 'user id' in the form. This will be collected as a field in the Google Spreadsheet generated by the form.
In my back end application, i would query the spreadsheet and look for the user id field input by the user. Then i would be able to know whether he/she completed the form or not.
I'm trying to look at the Google Docs API for the spreadsheet and found that there are list-based feed and cell-based feed but i'm not sure which one can achieve what i want to do. Anyone has experience in this can shed a light?
Thank you
Think of a list based feed as being like SQL. You can read rows, insert rows(at the bottom), delete rows and update rows. - you can only store data, not formulas. In contrast, A CELL based feed lets you read and write to cells, any cell, using the cell reference (R1C1 style). CELL FEED give you more control, and includes batch updates.
some sample CELL FEED code is here:
http://code.google.com/p/gdata-java-client/source/browse/trunk/java/sample/spreadsheet/cell/CellDemo.java?r=51
Another option is too use google apps script, this is maybe less work if you just want to extract data. The html service is probably the tool for the job https://developers.google.com/apps-script/html_service - as you can dont need OAuth to do the read.

Issues with Filemaker IWP working with hyperlinks on images

I have a filemaker database that I need to be able to link records and all associated data (including container field data) to various points placed on a large PDF image, and then make that data appear via instant web publishing when someone clicks on the marker for that area on the PDF. For example the PDF may be an image of a car, and then I would have various close up images of issues with the car and descriptions of those images as records in the database. I would then want to drop points on the base PDF image and when you clicked on those points be able to see the close up images and other data related to those images.
I'm being told this is too much for IWP because:
I need to place the markers outside filemaker via PDF annotation
Filemaker IWP can't handle the number of markers that may be necessary (it could be up to 1,000 on an E sized image.
Does anyone have a work around or explanation why this is a problem?
If I understand correctly, you would like to setup a PDF with links that will open a browser and show data related to what was clicked. Assuming that is the case, the reason this wont work is because IWP does not provide a unique URL for a unique page. For example, here on StackOverflow you can directly link to any question based on its URL:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3207775/ -- this question
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4973921/ -- some other question
IWP uses Javascript and session variables to manipulate the output to the screen, so there is no way to link to a specific section of your IWP site, since the URL is always something like:
http://yoursite.com/fmi/iwp/cgi?-db=YOUR_DB-loadframes -- Product A
http://yoursite.com/fmi/iwp/cgi?-db=YOUR_DB-loadframes -- Product B
http://yoursite.com/fmi/iwp/cgi?-db=YOUR_DB-loadframes -- Product C
Because of the limited nature of IWP, you will not be able to workaround this issue. You'll need to build your own web-interface using the Custom Web Publishing Engine, either using the built-in PHP extensions or some other technology where you invoke the XML publishing API.
I agree with Nate
IWP is the wrong solution to this problem. You'd be better off simply hosting those images on a webserver.
Now here comes the plug, you can use SuperContainer to really simplify the management of the images from FileMaker.
