The GoogleDocs4MW extension embeds Google Docs' spreadsheets into the wiki.

Installation

• Download and place the file(s) in a directory called GoogleDocs4MW in your extensions/ folder.
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php :

  wfLoadExtension( 'GoogleDocs4MW' );
  

•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Usage

Supported parameters are:

Name	Default
width	500
height	300
style	width:100%

As an example using all of the parameters:

<googlespreadsheet width="600" height="200" style="width:50%">Google Docs' key goes here</googlespreadsheet>

The Google Docs' key is the ID, encoded in the URL. For example, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/4cmYOu9kuIfCzbu-Dsu9XaGHUnUHG32PK9wHe5yMv3VZ/edit#gid=0 has ID 4cmYOu9kuIfCzbu-Dsu9XaGHUnUHG32PK9wHe5yMv3VZ.

To actually embed a spreadsheet, the spreadsheet needs to be published with Google's File > Publish to Web... option. It is not sufficient to just have a shareable link.

Note

This extension was inspired by the Fandom extension with the same name, but this extension was written back when Fandom wasn't open source.
