tried to find some useful answer in existing threads but nothing is really matching my issue. I guess there is a quick fix to it, i just cannot see it.
I have a HTML form and want to upload the file to my google drive (works great) and save the text fields to my spreadsheet (does not work at all).
I just cannot find any major difference between the two functions, its frustrating!
Below my code, and here is also the [link to my public script][1].
Form:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<form id="myForm">
<input type="text" name="myName" placeholder="Your name..">
<input type="file" name="myFile">
<input type="submit" value="Upload File"
onclick="this.value='Uploading..';
google.script.run.withSuccessHandler(fileUploaded)
.uploadFiles(this.parentNode);
return false;
google.script.run.withSuccessHandler(fileUploaded)
.doPost(this.parentNode);">
</form>
<div id="output"></div>
<script>
function fileUploaded(status) {
document.getElementById('myForm').style.display = 'none';
document.getElementById('output').innerHTML = status;
}
</script>
<style>
input { display:block; margin: 20px; }
</style>

server.gs:
function doGet(e) {
var html = HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile("form");
html = html.evaluate();
html.setSandboxMode(HtmlService.SandboxMode.IFRAME);
return html;
}
function uploadFiles(form) {
try {
var dropbox = "Customer Shapes";
var folder, folders = DriveApp.getFoldersByName(dropbox);
if (folders.hasNext()) {
folder = folders.next();
} else {
folder = DriveApp.createFolder(dropbox);
}
var blob = form.myFile;
var file = folder.createFile(blob);
file.setDescription("Uploaded by " + form.myName);
return "File uploaded successfully " + file.getUrl();
} catch (error) {
return error.toString();
}
}
function doPost(form) { // change to doPost(e) if you are recieving POST data
html.setSandboxMode(HtmlService.SandboxMode.EMULATED);
var name = form.myName;
var url="url...";
var message = 'Ram';
var submitSSKey = '...kHI';
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById(submitSSKey).getActiveSheet();
var lastRow = sheet.getLastRow();
var targetRange = sheet.getRange(lastRow+1, 1, 2, 2).setValues([[name,url]]);
}
Thank You for Your kind help!

If you are going to use
google.script.run
, then it's pointless to have a function nameddoPost()
. And it's also pointless to have a submit type input tag:type="submit"
If you want to run a
withSuccessHandler(fileUploaded)
to change the display, you can't have a button inside of the form. It will cause the display to go blank.And you don't need two
google.script.run
calls. You need multiple changes and improvements:form.html
server.gs
The html file is not a template, it does not have a scriptlet in it. Just use
createHtmlOutputFromFile()
:
