Using google apps script to manage a google site

Question

I have been playing around with the Sites Services in GAS lately. I was hoping that there would be a way to add or edit embedded spreadsheets and charts. However, I have found the Sites services to be very limited. I have looked and am still wrapping my head around the Google charts API but I do not think this is geared towards integrating with a Google site.

My question is first, is it possible with the current services and if so what is a good starting point?

Thanks for any and all advice!

Answer 1

Regarding embedding charts - see this blog post - particularly the code snippet around addHostedAttachment

Couple of other resources in the developer docs that might be useful around sites examples -

• This tutorial contains examples on how you can push list items from a spreadsheet to a Google Site.
• Another tutorial shows how you can embed UI into a Google Site. You can use the same technique to embed chart.
