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)
[gd]1bhtK-AhiXqfWK5bGJcULvEO3zMahcFgnJEsT1YvYsuc[/gd]

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]

BirdOPrey, I got this..?

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

•<iframe src="https://spreadsheets.google.com/embeddedform?formkey={param}" width="760" height="1021" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0">Loading...</iframe>

{param} is in bold

I hit continue, & it seems fine except it works for Google spreadsheets, but not Google docs.

*edit*
nevermind, i just realized this mod was originally for docs, so i need to try it first.



*edit2*
Whats the difference between a Doc, a Presentation, & a Form.?

Here is what im trying to make work.

[BirdOPrey5]

Google has various types of "documents."

Docs - which are like word documents, usually text mostly
Spreadsheets
Presentations
Drawings
and now Forms

It looks like yours is a "docs" document, you should try the instructions for the very first bbcode in this thread "Google Document."

Man this sucks, Im trying out the spread sheet and is showing just a blank iframe

Any ideas Bird?

[BirdOPrey5]

Does the example spreadsheet show on your forum?

You can see how the example should look here.

yes the sample works mate. Im trying this one in bold https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...cXBRTXZNZ0E&hl but all I get is a white iframe on the post.

[BirdOPrey5]

I get the message: We're sorry. This document is not published.

Here is how to Publish your document: https://docs.google.com/support/bin/...&topic=1360911

Note: It is NOT the same as setting your document's visibility.

[FReeSTER]

Thank you Joe, I fix the link sorry. I have try so many ways to add the link or the
{param} 0AuZfwFwa96-AdEpiTzFCX1Z6YWRpOEFZcXBRTXZNZ0E and it doesnt
work at all I was wondering if this is cause because that document have a - on the param?

[BirdOPrey5]

If the sample works on your forum th BBCode is entered correctly.

Your problem is you need to "Publish" your document in Google Docs- instructions were in the link in my previous post.

The dash (-) in the param doesn't matter.
