=== Plugin Name === Contributors: meitar Donate link: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations&business=TJLPJYXHSRBEE&lc=US&item_name=Inline%20Google%20Spreadsheet%20Viewer&item_number=Inline%20Google%20Spreadsheet%20Viewer¤cy_code=USD&bn=PP%2dDonationsBF%3abtn_donate_SM%2egif%3aNonHosted Tags: Google Docs, Google, Spreadsheet, shortcode Requires at least: 2.6 Tested up to: 3.0.1 Stable tag: trunk Embeds a published, public Google Spreadsheet in a WordPress post or page as an HTML table. == Description == Fetches a published Google Spreadsheet using a `[gdoc key=""]` WordPress shortcode, then renders it as an HTML table, embedded in your blog post or page. The only required parameter is `key`, which specifies the document you'd like to retrieve. Optionally, you can also strip a certain number of rows (e.g., `strip="3"` omits the top 3 rows of the spreadsheet) and you can supply a table `summary`, `<caption>` and customized `class` value. For example, to display the spreadsheet at `https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=ABCDEFG`, use the following shortcode in your WordPress post or page: [gdoc key="ABCDEFG"] Currently, this plugin only supports Google Spreadsheets that are "Published as a web page" and therefore public. Private Google Docs are not supported (yet). To render the HTML table with additional metadata, you can also do the following: [gdoc key="ABCDEFG" class="my-sheet" summary="An example spreadsheet, with a summary."]This is the table's caption.[/gdoc] The above shortcode will produce HTML that looks something like the following: <table id="igsv-ABCDEFG" class="igsv-table my-sheet" summary="An example spreadsheet, with a summary."> <caption>This is the table's caption.</caption> <!-- ...rest of table code using spreadsheet data here... --> </table> Finally, you can use the `gid` attribute to embed a worksheet other than the first one (the one on the far left). For example, to display a worksheet published at `https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=ABCDEFG&gid=4`, use the following shortcode in your WordPress post or page: [gdoc key="ABCDEFG" gid="4"] == Installation == 1. Upload `inline-gdocs-viewer.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress. 1. Use the `[gdoc key="ABCDEFG"]` shortcode wherever you'd like to insert the Google Spreadsheet. == Frequently Asked Questions == = The default style is ugly. Can I change it? = Yes, if you're able to change your theme's style sheet. The plugin renders HTML with plenty of [CSS](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascading_Style_Sheets) hooks. Use the `igsv-table` class from your style sheets to target the plugin's `<table>` element. Additionally, each row (`<tr>`) and cell (`<td>`) is assigned a specific `class` attribute value. The first `<tr>` element is assigned the `row-1` class, the second is assigned `row-2`, and the last `row-N` where `N` is the number of rows in the rendered table. Similarly, each cell is assigned a class based on its columnar position; the first cell in a row is assigned the `col-1` class, the second `col-2`, and so on: .igsv-table .row-2 .col-5 { /* styles for the cell in the 2nd row, 5th column */ } Finally, both rows and cells (based on columns) are assigned an additional class of either `odd` or `even`, allowing for easy zebra-striping in [CSS3](http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/) non-conformant browsers. .igsv-table tr.odd { /* styles for odd-numbered rows (row 1, 3, 5...) */ } .igsv-table tr.even { /* styles for even-numbered rows (row 2, 4, 6...) */ } .igsv-table td.odd { /* styles for odd-numbered cells (column 1, 3, 5...) */ } .igsv-table td.even { /* styles for even-numbered cells (column 2, 4, 6...) */ } = A table appears, but it's not my spreadsheet's data! And it looks weird! = You should triple-check that you've published your spreadsheet. Google provides instructions for doing this. Be sure to follow steps 1 and 2 in [Google Spreadsheets Help: Publishing to the Web](http://docs.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=47134). == Change log == = Version 0.2 = * Implements `gid` attribute in shortcode to allow embedding of non-default worksheet. * Updates plugin internals; now requires WordPress 2.6 or higher. = Version 0.1 = * Initial release.
