Embedding website in Google Calendar - google-calendar-api

I have a question regarding google calendar. i am new to it so not sure if i am asking correct question.
I want to integrate google calendar appointments with one of my application. what i want to do is
I should be able to integrate a web application with in google
calendar. Basically there should be some sort of button on appointment window which will take user to a webpage
Whenever user creates an appointment user should be able to set some
custom props on appointment
Webapp should be able to set location with in google calendar
As soon as user saves appointment all of the relevant information
should be saved in database.
i want to know if its possible at all. actually i want to achieve something similar like outlook addins.

First of all try reading the Get Started with the Calendar API:
The Calendar API lets you display, create and modify calendar events as well as work with many other calendar-related objects, such as calendars or access controls. This document describes how to use RESTful calls and client libraries for various programming languages (Java, PHP, .NET, JavaScript, NodeJs, Ruby, Python, Go, Android, iOS).
All your question is possible and will all depend on your implementation. You might want to check this tutorial - Google Calendar API with JavaScript, this will help you develop a web application to create or display Calendar data.
Hope this helps.

Migrate data from one Google Analytics Property to Other

We by mistake created a Google Analytics Property of type Apps + Web(as in image). But it restricts us from using many Web specific features (like adding custom dimensions and connection with Google Tag Manager).
So we create a new property of type Web (as we anyway won't need App related things anytime sooner), but now how can we migrate all analytics data(of 4-5 months) to the new property.
We tried to go through the docs and didn't find any related help.
Any input would be helpful.
There is no way to migrate the data from one Account, web property or view in google analytics to another. Once the data has been sent the data is there forever unless you delete the account.

Create calendar Event in Google App maker

I'm really a beginner with Appmaker. How can I create events from a specific calendar instead of the default calendar? I've try several thing but I need little help.
Google posted some example code for the Advanced Calendar Service in Apps Script here. It looks like it lists out the user's calendars, and then you can select a Calendar ID to create the event on.
Remember that you'll need to turn on the Advanced Calendar service in your App's settings.

How to build a simple HTML Form that sends email on Firebase?

I'm new to Firebase. I just want to build a simple HTML form on Firebase that sends email to me as well as to the user who fills up the form upon submit button click. I do not need any user authentication or database. After that I want this HTML form to be able to embed on my Blogger website, probably using iFrame. So how can I go about doing this?
Based on my understanding, for a HTML form to send email requires server-side coding like ASP.NET and PHP, may I know which language should I use on Firebase? Does Firebase provide such SDK that I can simply write in JavaScript and create a .js file for my form handler?
I already know how to deploy HTML files to my Firebase project using Node.js and get the URL of every file that I deployed, e.g. images, css files etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
With Third Parties (by now)...
After many hours researching about this, the solution seems not to be inside Google at the moment, but using a third party: SendGrid.
Tyson Bailey created a small example and explains this methodology in this blog post.

How would you go about writing a custom script that grabs the Adobe or Google Analytics image request?

If I wanted to build a scraper that pings each URL on a site and stores the adobe (or Google) image request, how would I go about this? I.e. I just want something that grabs all the parameters in the URL posted to Adobe in a csv or something similar. I'm familiar with how to build simple web scrapers, but how do I grab the URL I see in for example Fiddler that contains all the variables being sent to the Analytics solution?
If I could do this I could run a script that lists all URLs with the corresponding tracking events that are being fired and it would make QAing much more manageable.
You should be able to query the DOM for the image object created by the tag request. I am more familiar with the IBM Digital Analytics (Coremetrics) platform and you can find the tag requests using accessing the following array document.cmTagCtl.cTI in the Web Console on a Coremetrics tagged page. I used this method when building a Selenium WebDriver test case and wanted to test for the analytics tags.
I don't have the equivalent for Adobe or GA at the moment since it depends in the library implementation am trying the do the same as you for GA.
Cheers,

Facebook API and Drupal

I'm trying to use the drupal module called FB (http://drupal.org/project/fb). I just want to know if I'm on the right track. I've installed the module, setup the keys and so forth. All I want is the following:
To make a call into facebook
Retrieve all MY notes
Retrieve all the COMMENTS on my notes
So my questions are:
Is it necessary to write an app if I just want to make simple call like this?
Is there an easier way than the module i'm using?
You may find that the Activity Stream facebook extention does what you need.
Making some assumptions here: 1) you're familiar with programming drupal modules, 2) not so much with the facebook api, 3) you want to export your notes to display on a personal site.
The short answer is Yes, you need to create an application. You need the facebook client API files, and an API key/secret, which you only get by creating an app. Sounds like you've already gotten this far anyway.
However, from first glance, it looks like you only need to enable the DFF facebook API module, and then you can write your own module, using the global $fb to access facebook. The client API methods are mostly self-explanatory, if a little tweaky.
Possible problem: if your facebook details are restricted to friends only, visitors to your personal site won't have access to your notes via facebook API calls. The API only exposes what's publically accessible, or it exposes the (user-specific) details & friends when a visitor logs in (prompted by calling the require_login method). So, I imagine you'd need to store the notes locally, updating them by logging in yourself.
You could feasibly bypass the DFF modules altogether & just include the FB client API from your own module, but DFF looks like it handles all the weird & badly-documented fb behaviour - particularly that related to require_login - that'd otherwise have you smacking your head against a wall for three days. Good luck.
Caveat: I've never used the DFF modules. I used FBConnect, which was sufficient, but I spent a lot of time smacking my head against a wall.
