Anyway to embed a google doc?

mrwakka

Not an expert on custom stuff on here, is there anyway to embed a google doc?

Wanted to try and embed a google sheet that is used to calculate building costs (based off the magical medieval society books from 3.5). I can always link it but thought it might be nice to have it embedded in the same wiki entry for players as any other details for managing their recently granted land.

Using the embed code from google docs itself seems to do nothing (neither will embed media of course), wasn't sure if there was a trick or easy way I was missing.

It was part of the undelivered stretch goals of the Kickstarter.

However, if the item is a PDF you should be able to drop in a link with the Media Embed option on the edit page and it will display inline via Google Docs. I have not tested this with other extensions, and if I remember correctly the links provided by Google Docs itself won't actually work so you have to have the items hosted elsewhere for it to actually work. I have done this on my own page, you can see it in action under the Codex in the Mechanics (I have the Quick Start rules PDF displayed inline on the page).

I would definitely agree that this would be a TREMENDOUS boon for campaigns where number crunching can be important. Being able to embed a spreadsheet for group access right from the wiki page would be really great.

Being a stretch goal, does that mean that it is back on the list of future updates?

I would settle for the stuff currently broken, like youtube videos....

Seems the inline PDFs stopped working, at least for me and the ones I had setup.

I blame it on Google and API changes that have not yet been integrated here.
