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.

Use

Supported parameters are:

1. width (500 by default),
2. height (300 by default) and
3. style (width:100% by default).

As an example using all of the parameters:

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

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 Wikia extension with the same name, but this extension was written back when Wikia wasn't open source.
