Google Docs goes COTH?

[Ural]

This is perhaps stemming off of guild subforum discussion. Anyway, there are a couple guilds that use Google Docs to keep track of guild information such as player availability, schedules, storylines, perks or other such customizations. Is there a way to imbed the documents into the forums?

Maybe something like this?

I like google docs. I approve.

Google Docs is amazing. I've tested a plugin that embedded Docs before, but it didn't really work ideally. I'll see if I may be able to make a custom BBCode or something.

Let's see, here.

First test is embedding a spreadsheet directly.

And another test is embedding the published spreadsheet (in HTML format).

Alright, the [gdoc] MyCode can be used by pasting everything after the initial 'https://docs.google.com/' of the sharing URL.

For example:

Code:

[gdoc]a/conquestofthehorde.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0As0CO0waeof0dExMZVlLZDRIaDE0RXRoX2lyOEJBcmc&usp=sharing[/gdoc]

If you accidentally include the / before that portion, it's fine, it will still work.

Today, I have witnessed creation magic.
All hail Kretol.
