In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] index.php not foundHello,
I presume there’s a way to do this, however I’m not sure where you’re getting that error from. The plugin does not have or reference any index.php files. Can you give me a click-for-click path to show me where you’re seeing this?

In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] search result as a list for documentsDocuments embedded via GDE are not searchable via wordpress, though Google may index them for search engine purposes. I’m afraid my plugin probably won’t meet this particular need either.

In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] search result as a list for documentsHi there,
GDE doesn’t provide any search facility, so I’m not sure what you’re referencing. Can you give an example of what you mean?

In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] Public AvailabilityMore than likely yes; however you may have to experiment a bit to discover just what user agent string etc. to allow. I’d be interested in hearing about it if you get this to work and potentially documenting it for other users.

In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] Block all download requests for file – don't work !!If you would please contact me directly using the form on the support tab of GDE Settings and link to this thread, I hope to be able to help you further. Unfortunately I don’t have enough information here to continue to troubleshoot this issue.

In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] Block all download requests for file – don't work !!Does it work if you use Enhanced Viewer at all (even without blocking downloads)?
If so, your settings may just be messed up in some way; try deactivating and uninstalling GDE and installing again, then try using the delivered “max-doc-security” profile. If you get this working you can try to tweak the settings further.
If not, it seems your server does not support the Enhanced Viewer option. Which means the plugin wasn’t able to retrieve the viewer source from Google using your server via either the WP HTTP API or cURL fallback. This could indicate a problem with your web host, or at least, a very restrictive web host.

In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] Can't install google docs embedderIt sounds to me (though of course I haven’t looked at the server to say for sure) that the folder permissions are incorrect. This happens mostly on Windows/IIS hosts in my experience. If that happens to apply to you I might be able to recommend other steps, but really this is something the web host normally deals with… Good luck. 🙂

In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] Can't install google docs embedderHi Allyson,
Can you install any plugins at all? The upgrade folder that you’re getting an error for isn’t something GDE creates or references at all. It sounds like a broader WP problem rather than an issue installing this specific plugin.
If you’ve placed the whole “google-document-embedder” folder in wp-content/plugins and it doesn’t show up in the admin panel, that too is a WP level issue beyond where my plugin would reach.
Let me know if I can provide any further help.

In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] GView syntax shows on page; what's wrong?Hi timkil,
Your third example works on my site:
http://www.davistribe.org/gde/test3/The first does not work because shortened URLs are not supported at this time. (You may be able to allow this by unchecking “check for errors before loading viewer” option on the “Advanced” tab of GDE Settings.) The plugin can shorten the URL for you after the fact (a viewer profile option), though.
The second does not work because the link format just doesn’t comply with the way the plugin is supposed to work in general. A fair guess though 🙂
In all cases, though, if the shortcode is displaying instead of either the viewer or an error, there is a more fundamental problem, perhaps (in declining order of likelihood):
1) The shortcode is corrupt, such as contains hidden HTML (check the Text tab in the post editor)
2) Another plugin or a theme is conflicting
3) Your WordPress install is corrupt (breaking shortcode functionality everywhere)Let me know how it goes or if you need more clarification.

In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] Remove shortcode from homepageHello, that is a function of your theme and not GDE. I would suggest adding a little text above the viewer or changing your theme so that it uses excerpt text instead of post text in that short preview section. The theme author should be able to help with that.
That’s curious, since I’ve definitely used those plugins together in the past. I’ll have to keep my eye on that. Thanks for letting me know.

In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] GDE ERROR 401:UnauthorizedThe document must be public and reachable by Google even if the site where it’s embedded is not. That means no intranet hosted documents or password-protected directories, etc.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] Internal Server ErrorPlease reply or contact me directly with details.
What shortcode are you using?
Which viewer are you using?
Where is a URL where I can see this problem?My email address is in the GPL statement near the top of gviewer.php.
Thanks
Hi sassyfrog, GDE doesn’t deal directly with permalink settings. More than likely if you’re getting a server error then there is some other problem on your server. At worst (as far as GDE is concerned) you’ll have to update the URLs of your documents in the shortcode to reflect the new document locations.
Be sure to load the document you’re trying to embed directly. If it doesn’t work, or gives an error, then GDE will report that same error when it tries the same thing.
Feel free to send a URL as an example if you need more specific help.

In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in….You must have a fairly unique PHP configuration? Strange to see such problems once (or at most, twice) out of 250 downloads per day…
With the above code applied line 72 does not contain any code that would prompt any sort of error:
"link_pos" => 'below',If your line 72 differs, I wonder if the code above is correctly applied? Or perhaps you have something commented out and your line numbers are different?
You can email me at the address found in the GPL statement in gviewer.php if you want to work more directly on the issue with me. I’m sorry you’ve run into such problems, but as I said, very odd that you’re getting them and no other such reports.
Kevin
