Using deleteRow when passing a parameter using Google Sheets with Client-side & Server-side

I am using Google's Web Apps for this code and I am a true novice when it comes to javascript. The way it works is that the user enters an id and once they click the delete button the value is passed to the server-side. Before it deletes I want it to copy the row over to another tab (that works) and then proceed to delete the row which is not working. Thanks in advance for the help. Below is the server side code.
function removeRecord(dataInfo) {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById(sheetID);
var source = ss.getSheetByName("Table");
var target = ss.getSheetByName("Deleted");
var data = source.getRange(2, 1, source.getLastRow()-1, source.getLastColumn()).getValues();
var id = data.map(function (r) { return r[0]; });
var pos = id.indexOf(dataInfo);
if (pos > -1) {
target.appendRow(data[pos]);
source.deleteRow(data[pos]);
}
}

I think that the argument of deleteRow(rowPosition) is the integer number. But, in your script, an array is used. I think that this might be the reason for your current issue. In the case of your script, how about the following modification?
From:
source.deleteRow(data[pos]);
To:
source.deleteRow(pos + 2);
Note:
From I am using Google's Web Apps, when you modified the Google Apps Script of Web Apps, please modify the deployment as a new version. By this, the modified script is reflected in Web Apps. Please be careful about this.
You can see the detail of this in my report "Redeploying Web Apps without Changing URL of Web Apps for new IDE (Author: me)".
As another approach, in your script, the following modification might be able to be used. In this case, TextFinder is used. By this, the process cost might be able to be reduced a little. By the way, in this script and the above modification, it supposes that dataInfo is the valid value. Please be careful about this.
function removeRecord(dataInfo) {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById(sheetID);
var source = ss.getSheetByName("Table");
var search = source.getRange("A2:A" + source.getLastRow()).createTextFinder(dataInfo).matchEntireCell(true).findNext();
if (!search) return;
var target = ss.getSheetByName("Deleted");
search.offset(0, 0, 1, source.getLastColumn()).copyTo(target.getRange(target.getLastRow() + 1, 1), { contentsOnly: true });
source.deleteRow(search.getRow());
}

deleteRow(rowPosition)

Outlook AddIn GetAsync successful but returns nothing

I've got an Outlook Add In that was developed using the Office Javascript API.
It looks at the new email being composed & does things based on who it's going to: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/reference/objectmodel/requirement-set-1.3/office.context.mailbox.item
The code correctly returns the TO email when you 'select' the email from the suggested email list... screenshots shown # bottom of this thread
To debug the Javascript, I use C:\Windows\SysWOW64\F12\IEChooser.exe
It was working fine until last week. Is it possible a Windows update broke functionality?
I'm the only person with access to the code. It hadn't been modified for months.
When debugger is running, getAsync correctly returns the 'TO' value. I needed to write the response to a global variable to prove the values were 'undefined' while not in debug.
var resultObjects;
var resultObjects2;
var strMessages = '';
var strTo = '';
var mailbox;
var mailitem;
(function () {
"use strict";
// The Office initialize function must be run each time a new page is loaded.
Office.initialize = function (reason) {
$(document).ready(function () {
mailbox = Office.context.mailbox;
mailitem = mailbox.item;
mailitem.to.getAsync(function (result) {
if (result.status === 'failed') {
strMessages = 'FAILED';
} else {
strMessages = 'SUCCESS';
strTo = result.value[0];
resultObjects = result;
resultObjects2 = result.value;
}
});
loadApp();
});
};
})();
Here are the values of the variables, when the app is loaded & debugger is not running
EDIT
If you 'select' the TO email so that it is bolded... the code works correctly. If you leave the typed-in-text field without selecting the suggested email, it does not work. The same behavior is true for both the Outlook Web Application (# https://outlook.office.com) and the desktop outlook application.
Does not work
Does Work

The Office.context.mailbox.item.to.getAsync API will only return resolved recipients. If the TO email address is not resolved (as in the first screenshot titled "Does not Work"), then API will not return the email address until it is resolved (in both desktop and OWA).
You can use the RecipientsChanged Event, to get newly resolved recipients after you have queried for to.getAsync. This event would fire when a recipient is newly resolved.

Get data from API in Google Apps Script, how to?

im trying to access the calendar resources data in the Google Apps domain.
I have this:
function myFunction() {
var url = 'https://apps-apis.google.com/a/feeds/calendar/resource/2.0/example.com/';
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url);
Logger.log(response);
}
But i need to authorize.
"Request failed for https://apps-apis.google.com/a/feeds/calendar/resource/2.0/example.com/ returned code 401. Authorization required "
Does someone know how i Authorize? I tried to add the advances services and Calendar API, but didn't work.

Why don't you use Calendar Service in Google Apps Script. It allows you to interact with Calendar Objects and Events without worrying for oAuth.
e.g to Fetch Events in Calendar
function fetchEVents() {
var d1 = new Date("4/26/2013");
var d2 = new Date("4/26/2014");
var events = CalendarApp.openByName("myCalendarName").getEvents(d1, d2);
if (events.length > 0) { // Log the time of first event
Logger.log(events[0].getStartTime() + " : " + events[0].getEndTime());
}
}

Google Analytics: How to track hits to mobile site as hits to main site

We are developing a completely new mobile version of our site, it is a HTML5 site written using Sencha Touch 2 (Ext JS, JavaScript).
We are using Google Analytics on our main site, and we would like to use GA on the mobile site as well. However our desired use case is a little special:
We would like hits to articles on the mobile site to be tracked as hits to the corresponding article on the main site.
The reasoning behind this is the desire to aggregate the statistics, and not have the data tracked separately.
The domains and URL structure is different for the two sites, although the site hierarchy is somewhat similar (they both get content from a Sharepoint backend), and herein lies the challenge. We cannot only change the domain using something like 'setDomainName'.
On every page in the mobile version, we have available the full URL to the original page/article on the main site. What we would like to do is tell Google to track the view as a hit to that URL instead of the one we are actually on.
I've seen some threads (f ex here) regarding 'trackPageView' and it may be sufficient for our needs, however I am not entirely sure. It sounds a little too simple, but it may also be that I am not seeing the obvious solution here.
Could we provide this method with the desired hit URL and that's it? Would it work then to have a script in the header that checks for a set variable with this URL, and if it exists call 'trackPageView' with it as a parameter, if not just track a regular hit?
Any help with syntax for this approach is welcome.
All help & suggestions appreciated here!
I've scoured GA docs without much helping information on this special case.

Yes it is that simple use the track page view event and pass the corresponding URL parameters. In sencha all your views are going to exist in the same HTML page so you need to call this programmatically.
Include the same tracking code as you use in your live site with the same ID... This should work as you expect...
Very good question...Hope it helps...

Here's GA Tracking spelled out and made simple for ST2+. I've included how to initialise, set up basic navigation tracking, and several alternatives including custom variable & event tracking.
/*
Standard method to init GA tracking.
These can be fired from launch.

window._gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();
},
/*
This method can be set to a globally accessable reference.
For instance:

Alternatively, add as function to Application for
this.getApplication().gaTrackEvent(data);
*/
gaTrackEvent : function(data) {
//Push data to Google Analytics
// optional prefix for mobile devices - unnecessary for your interest
var prefix = 'mobile/';
// don't track homepage/default hits
if (data == 'home') {
//Ignore Home
return;
}
// basic tracking
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', prefix + data]);
// OPTIONAL ALTERNATIVES FOR DETAILED TRACKING
// detailed tracking - condensed
_gaq.push(['_setCustomVar',
1, // custom variable slot
'customEventName', // custom variable name
'value1|value2|value3', // multiple values using 1 slot
2 // sets scope to session-level
]);
_gaq.push(['_trackEvent',
'ParentEventName',
'SomeValue'

}
/*

Google custom search for images only

Since Google image search API is deprecated, one should use Google custom search API for this.
I've made a small example using it. My problem is I want to return google image search results only. Whereby this shows web results, and the user may switch to the image result. How can I show only the image results by default?
<div id="cse" style="width: 100%;">Loading</div>
<script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
google.load('search', '1', {language : 'hu'});
google.setOnLoadCallback(function() {
var customSearchOptions = {
enableImageSearch: true,
imageSearchOptions: {
layout: google.search.ImageSearch.LAYOUT_CLASSIC
}
};
var options = new google.search.DrawOptions();
options.setAutoComplete(true);
var customSearchControl = new google.search.CustomSearchControl('XXX', customSearchOptions);
customSearchControl.setResultSetSize(google.search.Search.LARGE_RESULTSET);
customSearchControl.setAutoCompletionId('XXX');
customSearchControl.draw('cse', options);
}, true);
</script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.google.com/cse/style/look/default.css" type="text/css" />
The API documentation is quite poor, it only describes how to add additional results.

Google images search is now supported in the Custom Search Engine API. See the API parameters section of this page. I'm using the API with python and for my application I just specify the parameter in the API call.
searchType = "image"
See this post on the cse blog.
EDIT: As Marc points out in his comment below, you need to click "Enable image search" in your CSE console.

Per the Google Custom Search Element Control API - documentation web site, this is possible.
https://developers.google.com/custom-search/docs/element
This is the fragment used for searching by image by default:
'defaultToImageSearch'
So I believe the full syntax for using this would be:
<script>
.
// Google custom search code, ids go here...
.
</script>
<gcse:search></gcse:search>
**<gcse:searchresults enableImageSearch="true" defaultToImageSearch="true">**

For those going through the WebExtensions tutorial, here's the updated code I used in popup.js to make it work with the new CSE functionality:
/**
* #param {string} searchTerm - Search term for Google Image search.
* #param {function(string,number,number)} callback - Called when an image has
* been found. The callback gets the URL, width and height of the image.
* #param {function(string)} errorCallback - Called when the image is not found.
* The callback gets a string that describes the failure reason.
*/
function getImageUrl(searchTerm, callback, errorCallback) {
// Google image search - 100 searches per day.
// https://developers.google.com/image-search/
// var searchUrl = 'https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/images' +
// '?v=1.0&q=' + encodeURIComponent(searchTerm);
var searchUrl = 'https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1' +
'?key=' + key + '&cx=' + cx + '&searchType=image&q=' + encodeURIComponent(searchTerm);
var x = new XMLHttpRequest();
x.open('GET', searchUrl);
// The Google image search API responds with JSON, so let Chrome parse it.
x.responseType = 'json';
x.onload = function() {
// Parse and process the response from Google Image Search.
var response = x.response;
if (!response || !response.items || response.items.length === 0) {
errorCallback('No response from Google Image search!');
return;
}
var firstResult = response.items[0];
// Take the thumbnail instead of the full image to get an approximately
// consistent image size.
var imageUrl = firstResult.image.thumbnailLink;
var width = parseInt(firstResult.image.thumbnailWidth);
var height = parseInt(firstResult.image.thumbnailHeight);
console.assert(
typeof imageUrl == 'string' && !isNaN(width) && !isNaN(height),
'Unexpected respose from the Google Image Search API!');
callback(imageUrl, width, height);
};
x.onerror = function() {
errorCallback('Network error.');
};
x.send();
}
Mainly it's changing the search URL (which should have searchType=image as mentioned) and the response structural references in getImageUrl, and setting up the CSE engine. Make sure your CSE has Image search turned on, and under Sites to search make sure to select Search the entire web but emphasize included sites from the options list.

I'm not 100% certain on this, but I don't think the API supports what you're trying to do. This is not at all surprising, as Google's search API's are infamous for being lacking in even basic functionality (such as the standard search API's limit of 20 results, etc). I think the fact that I'm the first person to answer this in the 3 days it's been active is another indication that this is probably just not supported (or, if it is, Google never bothered to tell anyone).
I know you're not going to like this, but I think your best option is to scrape the images out of the returned result set yourself. That's typically what people have to resort to when dealing with Google results data. Fortunately, their frontend code is remarkably consistent, so a few well-tuned regex matches and/or splits should do the trick for ya.
And yes, it's total BS that Google has provided such lousy support for this API. =)

Try adding this line:
customSearchOptions['disableWebSearch'] = true;

I tried to get a more authoritative answer in the official Google AJAX APIs group,
and it seems the answer is NO(!). Google custom search API currently does not support image search only. You can use the deprecated Google image search API instead.
check this

Try this one
customSearchOptions['searchType'] = "image"
customSearchOptions['enableImageSearch'] = true
customSearchOptions['disableWebSearch'] = true;
