Body
As the title denotes, looking for insight on reasons why an Interactive Post doesn't show up on any stream (user sharing the post, and to whomever the user is sharing it with). <h2>Brief</h2> <ul> <li>Implement client side api of G+ interactive posts</li> <li>This seems successful <ul> <li>application auth is requested and if granted is displayed in user's "<a href="https://plus.google.com/apps" rel="nofollow noreferrer">applications list</a>"</li> <li>intended content, prefill text, etc. are all displayed when the trigger to initiate the share is invoked</li> <li>no error indicators (that I know of) are displayed when the "Share" button is clicked by the user (the act of actually posting the share).</li> <li>it is visible in some way only to Google - explained below</li> </ul></li> </ul> <h2>Findings</h2> <ul> <li>It seems Google is blocking the post because even though the share isn't posted on any stream (origin nor target), I received a warning about violating Google policies as displayed below, indicating that the (http) post was sent/submitted... <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/CX81S.gif" alt="screen shot of warning display"></li> <li>further inspection of network activity also displays what looks like (a guess on my part) a spam score (of 8), somehow already pre-determined (another guess on my part): <code>https://apis.google.com/u/0/_/sharebox/post/?spam=8&hl=en&ozv=...</code></li> </ul> <h2>Questions</h2> <ul> <li>Primary question is why would interactive posts not appear on stream? Any debugging tool out there?</li> <li>IF my guess on spam blocking is accurate, then why would such be the case? For interactive posts (which somehow inherently is a case of some user "promoting" something in the first place) - eg: with a "BUY" <code>calltoactionlabel</code>?</li> <li>IF my other guess on the content being "pre-tagged" as spam, how/why would that occur. I didn't include it above, but it is a "product page" - the idea of it, which isn't new nor revolutionary, is to give the opportunity for a user to "share" an item he/she just purchased, say in a normal checkout flow?</li> <li>It's my assumption that implementation was done correctly, no errors reported, etc. - or perhaps it wasn't? Though it seems unlikely, it's "grasping at straws" time..</li> </ul> Further testing/debugging seems unwise given the warning of policy violation - and yes, I've stopped further dev on this to prevent harming my accounts (one personal, one work, both used above for testing this API). Thanks for any assistance/input. Note: I've posted this on <a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/113527920160449995981" rel="nofollow noreferrer">G+ community</a> (no luck so far) so once this is resolved I'll share the answer there too (or vice versa).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
