• How to embed multiple excel (or any) docs to website, viewable for few client(s) and other doc viewable for other few client(s)

    we are school and i would like to post grades (which will be excel or word, but i prefer excel) . Since we have a lot of students, i would like to make keep private.. so student will view only his grades or assignment. i assume it will be multiple embed documents one for per student.. My question is how i can embed doc (excel or word) on website each student sees only his grades. Or any other options? i want student got to website and see only his own grades. Thank you.

  • Hello Thi Audio,

    There are probably many better ways to do this, but I’ll just list one way and if I find a better way, I’ll re-post.

    First, we have to assume that you have an Excel Spreadsheet setup for EACH student. I have yet to find a way to be able to tie in the login from WordPress to isolate data on an Excel spreadsheet. At least, you need to be able to change the table view for the Excel spreadsheet so that you’re isolating the data for that student. This is something you can do in Excel.

    There are several plugins that allow you to import Excel worksheets and view them. Check out this one: Tablepress

    You can then publish a page for a specific student, and embed the spreadsheet using TablePress (or other plugin) into the table (or post) that you would assign only to that student.

    If you have a lot of students – this method is probably not the most efficient way, as you would need to create a page/post per student and then also publish the spreadsheet per student and embed it.

    Still, I hope that helps to give you workable solution.

    With the extreme likelihood that someone is not going to like it when a cobbled together system fails and the resulting damages, you need professional software. IMHO
