Is it possible to embed a google community into a website page?
This way our clients can benefit from content and all other features in our website, yet be able to collaborate using Google Communities.
Ideally I would like to grab a Javascript code just like +1 button and paste it into my website page, add an iframe or something of this nature!
UPDATE:
Sounds like if I try to be convincing, I may be able to influence some decisions!
More details: Our website services offers login with Google using Google OAuth, This way the user is either logged in or is forced to login with Google to get access to private areas of our customer portal, where you can review the status of Support Tickets, submit new support tickets, have access to knowledge base, documents, blogs, etc.
We have incorporated all sort of social plugins into the blogs, product catalogs and so forth.
It would be fantastic is the users can have access to a community (Forum or Discussion Board) within the same place. Google Community seem to be the tool but in the wrong place.
No such widget exists at this time, but it's an interesting idea. If you want to share more details on precisely what you're looking for, you can file the issue here: https://code.google.com/p/google-plus-platform/. The more details you can provide, the more likely that, if we decide to implement this feature, we'll end up with something that you want.

I have a private business Twitter account and I would like to know when someone clicks any link inside one of my posts. This solution cannot assume that we know the form of the link being posted.
For example a twitter post like this:
Have you guys heard of this amazing site called google?
I would like to see how many people clicked on this google.com link. I don't need to know any specific information about who they are, just if it was clicked or not.
Ideally I would want this from the API but crawlers and plugins are also possible. I would like to avoid using a paid tool but those would be acceptable.
I think you have multiple choices:
Use google firebase or google analytics
Create your own short link services by python or any other programming languages.
Just search in the google and look for short link generators which gives appropriate service.
Hi using the twitter api you should be able to understand how many clicks a link has.
https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/metrics
But to have all this info automated you might need to use a third-party tool.
This should be the most straight forward solution.
I am currently running a website where I promote different coffees from pubs in my city. On my website I have links to the different coffees.
I have recently seen some of this links being shared on Facebook and other social networks.
So I was wondering if it is somehow possible to track how often one of this links are being clicked?
I have tried using redirects to my site but Facebook uses my pictures in the previews, whereas I don't want this because it is misleading.
I have seen that this works with Bitly so it must somehow be possible?
And there are of course different services providing this, but it would be nice if it would run without any foreign services.
So basically I am looking for a solution which will let me know how often a link, origination from my site was clicked in Facebook, Google+ or any other forum.
There definitely is. Try looking into Google Analytics, it will show you show much data from your personal websites and links that it can blow your mind! Here is the link
Google Analytics helps you analyze visitor traffic and paint a
complete picture of your audience and their needs. Track the routes
people take to reach you and the devices they use to get there with
reporting tools like Traffic Sources. Learn what people are looking
for and what they like with In-Page Analytics. Then tailor your
marketing and site content for maximum impact.
You can even get a free package to use!
Hope this helps!
Yes you have plenty of analytical options.
Something as straight forward as Google Analytics for example.
If you are using cpanel on your hosts server, you even have options such as AWSTATS, which will also provide information.
If all else fails you can even use post data stored in your apache / nginx logs.
Since you have amended your question you might want to check out this tool. It is not google. :)
It is called Click Meter and performs Link Tracking and provides click reports, etc
I want to post a message on google plus business page. Is there any way to do this.
I am confused between interactive post, app activities and moment.
Should I use Moment to post on business page?
I go through google api site documents, but not getting any solutions.
Please let me know if there is any other way to post in google plus page.
It depends on exactly what you mean by "post" and by a "business page".
I'm assuming that the "business page" is one that is not associated with a Google App account. If you're meaning something that will show up on your stream, and that people who have you in a circle will see your post - there is no public API from Google that will do what you want. You need to work with one of their partners, such as HootSuite, to automatically share messages to your stream.
Interactive posts are ways that a visitor to your website can be prompted to share something from your site to their stream on Google+. These interactive posts include both a link to your site as well as an additional "call to action" button to an individual item from your site. It does not automate posts, although it can make some parts of it easier.
App activities and moments are the same thing. They are meant to record actions that take place on your website on Google+, but they do not directly share anything into your stream. Instead, they create an event in your Google+ profile that can be seen only by those you permit it to - you can then, if you wish, share that event to your stream. So while the moment can be generated automatically, it still requires manual action to share it.
Finally, if you have a page that is associated with a Google App account, you can create posts automatically, but those posts are limited in scope. They are only visible to, at most, other people in the same App Domain as the account. This is useful for using Google+ as a communication tool inside an organization, but not useful for communicating with customers, for example.
I might have overlooked this, but I'd like to implement Google Talk and Google Hangout on my site and I'm looking for some kind of (official, preferably PHP) API call that retrieves the online/offline contacts of a Google+ user. (similar to the list of online contacts next to Gmail)
Is this API functionality available and is it possible to provide the user with the option to select contact(s) to start a Google Hangout with?
To start, you're likely going to need to leverage a few different APIs. Since I cannot add a comment to ask questions, here's a recommended reading list based on my recent work with the Plus & Hangouts APIs:
Google Plus - https://developers.google.com/+/api/latest/people/list - Collect a list of people in your circles. This will not tell you who's online or offline. May be optional (see #2). Unfortunately, this call is not available yet in the PHP Client Library, so I created one for my personal project and am waiting on some vetting to submit it back to the Google project. If you're interested, I'd be happy to share.
Google Talk - https://developers.google.com/talk/ - Use that query the Talk service to see who's online and/or offline.
Starting a Hangout - Seems this discussion # the developer group is similar to your question and can best point you in a good starting direction. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/google-plus-developers/r_f7iweZ7c8
Hope that helps & curious to hear how it goes!
I've been wondering for a while if I can have google sites pages display things specific to the currently logged in user. I keep googling for a solution, but never come up with anything conclusive.
Basically I use Google sites for my university class websites. I'd love it if I could display things specific to an individual student, such as, you have completed homeworks 1,2 and 3 - now it's time to work on homework number 4
Many thanks in advance
I've search in Google and found this:
You can use Page-level permissions to display certain pages to certain
users. You can use Google Apps Script to detect the signed in user
too, but what you could display in Google Apps Script is limited. I'd
go for Page-level permissions.
(Link to that post on Google community support site.)
I think this is a good start for you.
