On our site, members login, and once logged in, they are browsing around on their own replicated version of our website. I am trying to gather info from a google doc spreadsheet and stream it into each back office of each member. Thing is, the area I need to do this in is a GLOBAL area, meaning whatever goes in that area everybody can see.

I would like to be able to pull rows from the google doc spreadsheet based on Member ID # (example 102365) and have all lines from the spreadsheet that belong to that member appear in their back office. So each member can only see their own info. member 102365 only views submissions from member 102365, and so on.

Can anybody help with this? We do have tokens that we place on our end to capture logged in member’s ID #’s and complete URLs. The ID # is also it’s own column in the spreadsheet.

Thanks,

Thanks for the examples. when i tried them a couple of weeks ago, everything worked great. Now, for the past day or so they say:

“Google Docs has encountered a server error. If reloading the page doesn’t help, please contact us. We’re sorry, a server error occurred. Please wait a bit and try reloading your spreadsheet….”

anybody know why?
