I have a Google Apps Script gadget that is embedded in a Google Sites page. I would like to pass the gadget a page parameter, such that when the page is opened with URL like:
https://sites.google.com/a/mydomain/mysite/mypage?myparameter=1
I can access the value of the page parameter in the Apps Script gadget code like so:
function doGet(e) {
var app = UiApp.createApplication();
app.add(app.loadComponent("MyComponent"));
var myparam = e.parameter.myparameter;
return app;
}
Currently, the value of e.parameter.myparameter is coming back as null. Is there a way to setup my Apps Script to support this? Any approaches are welcome.
Maybe the link bellow will help you - I have not tried it myself yet...but I will try it out in the next days. http://code.google.com/p/google-apps-script-issues/issues/detail?id=535
I posted this on the code.google.com page linked in the accepted answer, but the way to have parameters passed through to Apps Script is by adding "https://sites.google.com/feeds" to the Apps Script scope. (See this site for information about how to add explicit scopes.) Once this scope is added, the following works:
in Code.gs:
function doGet(e) {
var htmlTemplate = HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile("page");
htmlTemplate.urlParams = e.parameters;
return htmlTemplate.evaluate();
}
in page.html:
...
<head>
...
<script>urlParams = <?!= JSON.stringify(urlParams) ?>;</script>
</head>
...
urlParams
is now available as a variable in your JS code in the following form:
urlParams = { key1: [value1, value2, ...], key2: [value1, value2] }
