gd, gs, gp (Google Docs) BB Codes

Embed Various Google Docs

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 [NOBB][/NOBB] tags but I will give an example here anyway.

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:
[NOBB]https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1bhtK-AhiXqfWK5bGJcULvEO3zMahcFgnJEsT1YvYsuc[/NOBB]

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:
[B]1bhtK-AhiXqfWK5bGJcULvEO3zMahcFgnJEsT1YvYsuc[/B]

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

[B]Google Drawing[/B]
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...
[NOBB][IMG]https://docs.google.com/drawings/pub?id=1C1arwoUzUyzxnzk9yD7ysx6vyMfcDuDXXzQTqnngh2c&w=640&h=480[/NOBB] =

BBCode - Embed Google Documents Collection (BB Code) does this work for the Vbulletin 4.0 series ? Also does this plugin auto update the excel table in the forum thread after its updated on google documents end ?

BirdofPray, Thanks for everything.

It works on vBulletin 4.0.

On my testing it did auto update the spreadsheet with changes, but it was not immediate.

New option added for Google Forums.
