Suggestion Google Doc Viewer

[Ellie Mors]

The old site software, however outdated, had one really great feature: The ability to mirror a google doc on the site via some simple BBCode.

The suggestion is, then, of course, to add in some easy to use i frame support to display google docs/sheets/etc on the site in posts, blogs, etc.

From our embeddable media's mod author:

I looked into it and as it turns out, the add-on only supports Google Drive and Google Sheets. There are some technical issues that prevent me from supporting the whole Google Docs suite at the moment but I'll think about it.

That's sad to hear, but I wasn't aware of that limitation. Thanks for the reply!

After a little experimenting, I think I got it to work with Drive links.

Docs: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZilchjH0Le3ops1PovmciO-Q12FBxxP6bSnOYe3L3aY/edit?usp=sharing
Drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZilchjH0Le3ops1PovmciO-Q12FBxxP6bSnOYe3L3aY/edit?usp=sharing

Both point to the same file, and you'll see there's only two things to change in the URL: docs -> drive and document -> file

Enter the second one in a post, and you should get a compatible embed:
