I’m sorry about that. 2.5.x has had some growing pains in spite of having 600 beta testers… I believe it’s stable now. Thanks everyone for your patience.
Sorry all, I did not see the messages posted in this thread.
azizhaf, if you’re still listening in, your question is answered in the FAQ. The short answer is YES the plugin works in localhost, BUT the documents you’re actually embedding have to be on the public internet somewhere (not localhost).
thehrisworld, several versions of the plugin have been released since you posted, so let me know if you’re still experiencing a problem in the release version.
I can’t account for all those errors individually, but there is a fix for 1 & 3 specifically in GDE 2.5.3. If you find #2 isn’t also relieved by the update, please let me know.

In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] 2 ERRORS after updating the pluginHi Scott,
Thanks a lot for helping me fix this issue – and my apologies to those who were affected. The change is included in the released version 2.5.3.
Thanks for the thoughtful donation also. 🙂 Merry Christmas to you!

In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] 2 ERRORS after updating the pluginClarification, Cheryl – did you try the newest zip I posted, perhaps while you were writing that response? The version number won’t change as this is a test build.
You won’t be able to install it completely over the top of your existing plugin except by manually replacing those two files. This download is a complete plugin package, so file replacement or FTP overwrite may be required. I don’t know if cpanel will handle that task appropriately.

In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] 2 ERRORS after updating the pluginThe zip file was updated with an additional fix (same two files). Please retry. Thanks Scott for your help.
If someone would provide steps to reproduce the problem, that might be helpful. I haven’t seen these errors yet anywhere, so I’m stabbing in the dark a bit.

Alternately, you can just remove the
gviewer.phpandfunctions.phpfiles from this zip and overwrite your present versions. No deactivation or reinstall should be necessary.Please let me know the outcome. Sorry for this inconvenience.

In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] Unsupported File Type (pdf) – WP 3.5 and GDE 2.5.1It’s inside the plugin, on the GDE settings page. It is on the last tab called “Support”.
Otherwise you can email me – my email address is in the GPL license statement near the top of the file gviewer.php in your plugins/google-document-embedder folder.

In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] Unsupported File Type (pdf) – WP 3.5 and GDE 2.5.1Hi BiKoa,
Please contact me via the support form (on the support tab in GDE Settings). I believe I have a patch for the issue you’re having, but I’d like you to test it.
Thanks

In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] Error when reactivatingYes, it’s possible.
If you’re comfortable doing so, please change the first line of code in gviewer.php under the GPL statement, which reads:
require_once('functions.php');to
require_once( plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . '/functions.php' );The way some plugins and themes are coded breaks relative paths in other plugins. This makes the path absolute in GDE and this patch will be included for good measure in the next release.
Let me know how you fare with it…

In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] Error when reactivatingHi Joshua,
Neither of those errors are specific to GDE, but it looks like the issue is with your theme (or possibly a conflict between your theme and something else). Perhaps the theme is loading its own copy of jquery instead of using the version provided with WordPress? And perhaps the version in use is also not the same between the two?
I’m only guessing on this, but it’s been known to happen (especially if you just updated to WordPress 3.5, which has an upgraded jQuery library). I would reach out to the theme developer, or momentarily switch themes just to confirm if it’s the source of the problem. Possibly you’ll be able to activate your plugins with that other theme installed and then switch back to the theme you want, and not suffer incompatibilities. But again, that’s just a theory on my part.
Hope this helps,
Kevin

In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] Google Doc embedder for budypressPlease elaborate. I don’t know what that would entail.

In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] google docs embedde does not work with wordpress 3.5I get the same view in both IE and Firefox, and both documents load properly. You’re very likely having browser cache issues.
I would have to see your settings and shortcode to know what is going on with the download link. Feel free to submit a support request where you can fill in this information from the Support tab, and describe your problem.

In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] Can you control the zoom in the viewer?Hi Russell,
Glad you find the plugin useful. I’ve experimented with what you’re asking for, if I understand correctly – to load the viewer zoomed in more than it is by default. (If I’m missing your point, please try again with my apologies…)
Google’s viewer has some rather sophisticated JavaScript (at least, it looks that way to me) that resizes the document according to the size of its frame – so that the document is clear whether it’s viewed large or small. This resizing happens on the fly, and I haven’t figured out how to interrupt it. I’ll keep working on it, but at the moment it’s not possible to control the zoom level of the document when it loads with GDE – short of actually clicking the zoom button, of course.
