I have two different functions than run as expected, but I cannot figure out how to combine them. What I want to acchieve:




  1. The user click on a menu-item.

  2. The user selects images from her Google Drive.

  3. These images gets inserted on the slide on top of each other.


I have the following files:




  • code.gs

  • dialog.html


I have made them based on among others these tutorials:




  • https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/dialogs

  • https://developers.google.com/apps-script/articles/image-slides


In the latter mr. Chung asks us to: "Code challenges



If you want to expand your understanding or dive deeper into Apps Script coding, try to augment the sample above with the following upgrades:
Instead of online files, choose files in Google Drive
Use the Google Drive file picker interface (files first then folders)"



I want to do this, but I can not understand how.



My code.gs file:



    /**
* Creates a custom menu in Google Sheets when the Slides opens.
*/
function onOpen() {
SlidesApp.getUi().createMenu('Tester kode')
.addItem('Show sandbox', 'showPicker')
.addItem('Insert images', 'imagesUrlArr')
.addToUi();
}

/**
* Setting the size of each image and then placing it on the same slide
*/

function addImageSlide2(imageUrl, index) {
var presentation = SlidesApp.getActivePresentation();
var currentPage = SlidesApp.getActivePresentation().getSelection().getCurrentPage();
var slide = currentPage;
var image = slide.insertImage(imageUrl);
var newWidth = 690;
var imgWidth = image.getWidth();
var ui = SlidesApp.getUi();
var imgHeight = image.getHeight();
var forhold = imgHeight/imgWidth;
var newHeight = forhold*newWidth;
image.setLeft(14).setTop(14).setWidth(newWidth).setHeight(newHeight).setRotation(0);
}

/**
* The driver application features an array of image URLs.
*/
function imagesUrlArr() {
var images = [
'http://www.google.com/images/branding/googlelogo/2x/googlelogo_color_272x92dp.png',
'http://www.google.com/services/images/phone-animation-results_2x.png',
'http://www.google.com/services/images/section-work-card-img_2x.jpg',
'http://gsuite.google.com/img/icons/product-lockup.png',
'http://gsuite.google.com/img/home-hero_2x.jpg'
];
images.forEach(addImageSlide2);
}

/**
* Displays an HTML-service dialog in Google Sheets that contains client-side
* JavaScript code for the Google Picker API.
*/
function showPicker() {
var html = HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile('dialog.html')
.setWidth(1100)
.setHeight(950)
.setSandboxMode(HtmlService.SandboxMode.IFRAME);
SlidesApp.getUi().showModalDialog(html, 'Velg bilder');
}

/**

* This technique keeps Picker from needing to show its own authorization

* to a DriveApp method to ensure that Apps Script requests access to all files
* in the user's Drive.
*
* @return {string} The user's OAuth 2.0 access token.
*/
function getOAuthToken() {
DriveApp.getRootFolder();
return ScriptApp.getOAuthToken();
}


The imagesUrlArr work as it is supposed to. My goal is to make the result of the Picker the array instead of these test images.



I have gotten the Sandbox/Picker to work: When hitting the button Pick your images I get the result: a list of the file names, and another of the file's url. When the code is finished I will thens show a new button to insert these images in the slide. But for testing now, I have the buttons in the first view of the Sandbox.
The yellow buttons I need to make work. The yellow URLs from the blue area should be the new array used by the yellow button. But for testing I just use the sample URLs. But nothing happens when I hit the yellow buttons.



When I hit the Insert-images-button, I get the alerts, but no images are inserted. What am I doing wrong?

      I have two different functions than run as expected, but I cannot figure out how to combine them. What I want to acchieve:




      1. The user click on a menu-item.

      2. The user selects images from her Google Drive.

      3. These images gets inserted on the slide on top of each other.


      I have the following files:




      • code.gs

      • dialog.html


      I have made them based on among others these tutorials:




      • https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/dialogs

      • https://developers.google.com/apps-script/articles/image-slides


      In the latter mr. Chung asks us to: "Code challenges



      If you want to expand your understanding or dive deeper into Apps Script coding, try to augment the sample above with the following upgrades:
      Instead of online files, choose files in Google Drive
      Use the Google Drive file picker interface (files first then folders)"



      I want to do this, but I can not understand how.



      My code.gs file:



          /**
      * Creates a custom menu in Google Sheets when the Slides opens.
      */
      function onOpen() {
      SlidesApp.getUi().createMenu('Tester kode')
      .addItem('Show sandbox', 'showPicker')
      .addItem('Insert images', 'imagesUrlArr')
      .addToUi();
      }

      /**
      * Setting the size of each image and then placing it on the same slide
      */

      function addImageSlide2(imageUrl, index) {
      var presentation = SlidesApp.getActivePresentation();
      var currentPage = SlidesApp.getActivePresentation().getSelection().getCurrentPage();
      var slide = currentPage;
      var image = slide.insertImage(imageUrl);
      var newWidth = 690;
      var imgWidth = image.getWidth();
      var ui = SlidesApp.getUi();
      var imgHeight = image.getHeight();
      var forhold = imgHeight/imgWidth;
      var newHeight = forhold*newWidth;
      image.setLeft(14).setTop(14).setWidth(newWidth).setHeight(newHeight).setRotation(0);
      }

      /**
      * The driver application features an array of image URLs.
      */
      function imagesUrlArr() {
      var images = [
      'http://www.google.com/images/branding/googlelogo/2x/googlelogo_color_272x92dp.png',
      'http://www.google.com/services/images/phone-animation-results_2x.png',
      'http://www.google.com/services/images/section-work-card-img_2x.jpg',
      'http://gsuite.google.com/img/icons/product-lockup.png',
      'http://gsuite.google.com/img/home-hero_2x.jpg'
      ];
      images.forEach(addImageSlide2);
      }

      /**
      * Displays an HTML-service dialog in Google Sheets that contains client-side
      * JavaScript code for the Google Picker API.
      */
      function showPicker() {
      var html = HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile('dialog.html')
      .setWidth(1100)
      .setHeight(950)
      .setSandboxMode(HtmlService.SandboxMode.IFRAME);
      SlidesApp.getUi().showModalDialog(html, 'Velg bilder');
      }

      /**
      * Gets the user's OAuth 2.0 access token so that it can be passed to Picker.
      * This technique keeps Picker from needing to show its own authorization
      * dialog, but is only possible if the OAuth scope that Picker needs is
      * available in Apps Script. In this case, the function includes an unused call
      * to a DriveApp method to ensure that Apps Script requests access to all files
      * in the user's Drive.
      *
      * @return {string} The user's OAuth 2.0 access token.
      */
      function getOAuthToken() {
      DriveApp.getRootFolder();
      return ScriptApp.getOAuthToken();
      }


      The imagesUrlArr work as it is supposed to. My goal is to make the result of the Picker the array instead of these test images.



      I have gotten the Sandbox/Picker to work: When hitting the button Pick your images I get the result: a list of the file names, and another of the file's url. When the code is finished I will thens show a new button to insert these images in the slide. But for testing now, I have the buttons in the first view of the Sandbox.
      The yellow buttons I need to make work. The yellow URLs from the blue area should be the new array used by the yellow button. But for testing I just use the sample URLs. But nothing happens when I hit the yellow buttons.



      When I hit the Insert-images-button, I get the alerts, but no images are inserted. What am I doing wrong?
