anthony,

Your post says you’re using the current version of WordPress, and conceivably the most recent version of GDE as well. If the “icon to import” you mean is the “Google” button on the visual editor toolbar, this should load a dialog like on the screenshots in the documentation (see the last screenshot here).

If you’re seeing something different, it’s not explainable, so I would suggest uninstalling GDE and trying again. If you continue to run into problems, please use the Support tab in GDE Settings so we can work on solving the problem directly in your environment.

Thanks Tigran,

This is indeed an error I’ve overlooked since WP 3.5. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, and I’ll be sure to include the fix in a future patch.

gde_valid_link() won’t run if error checking is disabled. You could try replacing the whole body of the gde_valid_url() function with return true;

function gde_valid_url( $url, $method = “head”, $stop = 0 ) {
return true;
}

I don’t know if this will be sufficient or not. GDE clearly isn’t designed to handle links like the ones you’re using, so it may need more reverse engineering.

Ian,

You can, but you’ll have to do some rigging as GDE doesn’t have the UI to help you with this. I would suggest steps something like this:

1) Embed the document on a test page using the max-doc-security profile (profile 2) assuming you haven’t modified it in a way that makes it not secure.

2) View that page in your browser (preview in draft mode if you like)

3) View the source of the resulting page in your browser, and search for “gde” to find the iframe tag containing your embedded document.

4) Copy the value of the iframe’s src= attribute (by default this will point to a “tinyurl” that links to the secure version of your document)

5) Link your selected text elsewhere to this URL as normal.

Essentially you have to embed the document normally first so GDE generates the secure link, view the page source to retrieve that secure link, then use that link on your new page. Because it’s a direct link to the doc and not an iframe anymore, it will load full screen. If you want it to open in a new window, use basic html (set target="_blank" on your link).

Unfortunately I can’t reproduce that problem using the same shortcode. It’s possible there is some hidden HTML in the code, which you can check for using the Text tab in the editor. Otherwise you can turn off error checking on the Advanced tab, though I can’t think of any other things that might be causing this error in your environment.

You should not have to reinstall the browser but only to clear cache and Google logins (cookies) when this occurs. Of course, reinstalling the browser effectively does this too, but it’s a lot more nuclear… 😉
