BB Code Enhancements - BBCode - Embed Google Documents Collection (BB Code)

Embed Various Google Docs

Live Demo: Here

Google Docs is a free service by Google. Google Docs are a professional collection of "Office" applications like a Word Processor, Spreadsheet, Presentation Designer, and Drawing tool. Google Docs is a serious alternative to the very expensive Microsoft Office. Documents are stored online, can be shared among users, and in the case of this BB Code they can be embedded in other web pages.

There are several BB Codes in this collection, Google Doc (Document), Google Spreadsheet and Google Presentation. Google Drawings can be embedded using the standard [img] tags but I will give an example here anyway.

You may get a warning message saying the {param}s aren't enclosed in quotes. You can hit "continue" to ignore this error. As you can see in the code there are eventually double-quotes.

When working on any Google Document in the top right of the window will be a "Share" button with drop-down arrow. Click on this arrow and choose "Publish to Web" or "Publish / Embed" and you will be given code to link to and/or embed the document. You will be given a URL such as:
https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1bhtK-AhiXqfWK5bGJcULvEO3zMahcFgnJEsT1YvYsuc

What you need is the document ID which is the long string of characters after "id=" or "key=" and before the ampersand (&) if present, in this case your id is:
1bhtK-AhiXqfWK5bGJcULvEO3zMahcFgnJEsT1YvYsuc

In all cases you put the ID between the appropriate tag for the type of document.

Google Document (Word Processor Document)

Google Spreadsheet

Google Presentation

Google Drawing
No special BB Code is needed to embed a drawing because it's rendered as any other image. Just put the URL given between IMG tags...
[IMG]https://docs.google.com/drawings/pub?id=1C1arwoUzUyzxnzk9yD7ysx6vyMfcDuDXXzQTqnngh2 c&w=640&h=480[/IMG]

I am very new to all of this. Hence this may sound silly.

But where do I insert the new BB code?

[BirdOPrey5]

In the Admin Control Panel. On the menu on the side scroll down to Custom BB Codes -> Add A New BB Code.

[riskreward]

Thank you.

This stuff should be default.

If you're getting the warning:

The following BB Code replacement may not be properly formed. All HTML attributes should be enclosed within double quotes.

You can safely hit continue and it will work.

Otherwise maybe re-read the instructions, it is still working for me, just made a new spreadsheet and re-confirmed in 4.x.

The example I just made is:
[gs]0AmOHO6Cm8vvAdGRyZUNhWnZCSWVKdjM0WUpfM2FzeFE[/gs]

You should see a simple, small spreadsheet.

Got it to work, don't really know exactly what I changed to make it work... Thats ok

I have been wondering how i could get my spreadsheet on forums for a very long time, thank you very much for this.

Installed, rated.

This only works for Google correct.?

What if we host it seperately, & use Logicians Webtemplates..? (any possibility in iframe) also to be able to update.

How can I get it too work for google forms?

I don't know how you'd host it separately or anything about Logician's Webtemplates... But yeah, only google, only hosted in google. Anywhere you can use BBCode you can use this.

I never heard of Google Forms, do you have a link to them?
