We are planning to use GSuite's Groups for our business to which we later plan to build front ends using Gsuite API to build helpdesks, public forums, etc but are having problems with broken links to inline images in posts to our groups.
It seems that only the person who inserted the images into a private google group post can view the images on the via the group's web interface, even using the same browser / machine for different accounts which are members of the same domain / different domain.
Please advise any permissions to check in the Gsuite groups settings page or if there is any GSuite API I could use to try and troubleshoot why the images are not downloading.

After reading assorted posts on Google Product Forums, I figured out that the "drag-drop" or select from computer method does not work. What you have to do instead is:
Be sure to remove/delete your previous attempted image from your new post. Even though you saw it upload and it appeared to work, once you posted the topic or message, you see the broken image icon.
Now go to Google Photos for that same Google Account.
Drag/drop or upload your image to Google Photos.
Now go back to Google Groups, click the image icon in the compose window, then this time when you get the popup window to choose a photo, select "Your Photos" from the left column menu. You should see the image that you uploaded using Google Photos.

Select that image, then click SELECT action button. This time the image that gets inserted into the new post will display after you click POST.

the website im working on, is a buying and selling website, a user can post in a certain channel (electronics for example), and buyers can view it and express their interest. a user can view posts, and share a certain post through facebook or twitter. now i have done the share with facebook part and its working fine, but to share i have 2 options (or thats what i could find through out the search) it's either i share normally, a link, OR share via my app on facebook, and i want to do the via thingy. when i press share, the share tab opens and everything is fine except that the link to be share is not there, i dont want the user to type it in or copy it, i just want it to be automatically there!
that's the code i used, it takes my app id, and the app domain.
share through facebook
Looks like you are missing the "link" parameter in your share link - which is why the link isn't showing up for you.

I am going to develop an extention to share a selected part of page just by clicking on a share image that shown in page..How can I share a text or image in google plus without opening share dialog?
Is there any way?
The only way to share on Google+ is through the share dialog.
Google has stated that they want shares to be deliberate actions - they don't want to allow web pages or other systems to be able to post anything "on your behalf" without the user taking a specific affirmative action.
In short, they don't want Facebook's "frictionless sharing".
They are beginning to roll out the ability for websites to automatically post "moments" into a history vault, but users will still need to take a specific action for these moments to be posted to their stream. See https://developers.google.com/+/history/ for more information and the developer preview.
I created a Facebook application which occasionally publishes information to the timeline. As I was developing it, I noticed that at some point a box with the title of my application appeared in the timeline (a box similar to the "Friends" or "Activity" boxes). It contained an overview of the last posts published by my application.
Today, I noticed that this box is now gone from the timeline.
Does anybody know how are these boxes created? Is it something that Facebook do automatically? Is it possible to manually (or programmatically) put it back?
Any information on this would be great.
Application box will appear in user's timeline as long as you used Add To Timeline social plugin or requested publish_actions permission from user and published an OpenGraph action.
As long as you have defined aggregations, the box will some and go depends on Facebook's algorithms. Usually, activity us grouped in the Activity (Recent) box on the user's timeline. But sometimes one of the aggregation boxes appear in the timeline too - unfortunately, there is no way to force it to appear all the time.
I would like to show a graph of visitors (eg. 7 days back) on a specific subpage on my website - not the entire site!
I've been looking at:
http://www.jensbits.com/2010/06/23/google-analytics-data-export-api-with-google-chart-visualizations-2/
.. but i cant figure out how to show a graph for a specific url/subpage.
Any ideas?
Follow these steps
1.Go to your Google Analytics Account.
2.Click on the 'gear' icon. It will show you 3 tabs-> Profile, Tracking Code and Property Settings. Click on Tracking Code.
Under What are you tracking? select A Single Domain radio button. It will show you its corresponding options on the right. Select I want to track PHP pages. It will show you the tracking code underneath. Copy paste the code in the php file/page you are willing to track.
Dont worry about the query parameters. They will be identified automatically with respect to the tracking code. So if your page identifies 100 different layouts with respect to the parameters, they will show up in your analytics account.
Use the following Api to export data from your account
Google Analytics PHP API
Then, after you have received the data, you can set up an ajax request that fetches the data from your PHP script and embeds it in your site using a javascript API chart builder. This is also available with Google
Google Charts API
Hope that helps. All the best!
Ok- new to this today. Two major issues:
First- I am setting up a FB comments box for each of the pages on my website. I have followed step by step and have created an app so I can mederate all of the comments at once rather than page by page. Problem is when I get to my app I am supposed to click on "settings", however I cannot find it. There is an "edit settings' but it does not take me to the box where I can choose either to make every post visible or to let me approve each comment, etc... it just takes me to a summary of my app where I can choose app display name, app namespace, etc.
Here are the directions I have been given:
Changing Moderation Settings
Click on your app in the left column. Then click on Settings (it has two small gears beside it) in the top right corner of the tool to give you access to a few options...
Second issue is that after creating my app and saving changes, I was supposed to click on "need to grant permissions" to create an access token and then see a pink box with the App ID/API Key and App Secret.
After I saved the changes for my app. there was no "need to grant permissions" nor was there a pink box. The App Id and API key and App Secret show, but they are just at the top of the app- no pink box. Do I need to do something with permissions and create an access token? If so how? (I am not even sure what this is)
Assuming the comments plugin is linked to the app correctly (which can be checked by running your URL through the URL Debugger, you can moderate the settings in two places:
The Comment moderation tool
The Settings links, with the gears, displayed in the top right of an instance of the comments plugin itself
You can see your current access token for an app you admin in many ways, but the easiest two places I can think of are:
The Access token tool on the Facebook Developer site
By authorising your app in the Graph API Explorer
