Hi Jay,
It doesn’t look like you’re using my plugin on this page at all – it looks like you’re just inserting an image. What does the shortcode you’re using look like? It should look something like this:
[gview file="URL"]where
URLis the web site address to the PDF file you’re trying to embed.Let me know if you need more help.
I’m not sure I understand your difficulty. You do not need a plugin to view anything loaded by Google Doc Embedder (other than GDE itself), and there are no known issues pertaining to Google Chrome browser specifically.
Please use the support link next to Google Doc Embedder in your plugin list to send me the shortcode you’re using and/or a URL to the page where you’re seeing the problem. Not enough info here to help you much. Thanks.
Can you give me an example of a document and browser that does not work?
Have you tried both the Standard and Enhanced Viewer option?
Happy to help if I can; there used to be IE7/8 issues but these have basically disappeared in more recent updates to Google’s viewer. I’m not aware of any browser-specific issues at this time.
EDIT: Use the “support” link in the plugin list to email the developer (me) directly with specific information about problem documents or browsers that you may not care to post here.
I can’t even hit the readme.txt for my plugin on your site. It acts like it’s performing a search, which obviously finds no results.
Do you have other plugins that use shortcodes? My guess is they are all broken. You may have to momentarily disable all of the plugins and re-enable them one by one to find the culprit.
If that doesn’t work (99% sure it will) you may have a problem in your web site config, such as .htaccess file, that is breaking the paths that WordPress expects. In any case, this isn’t a normal problem and it’s not the fault of GDE.
If you mean now you’re seeing the actual shortcode text in your page or post, here are some possible causes:
1) Google Doc Embedder plugin is not activated.
2) Another plugin is conflicting or breaking shortcodes.
3) There’s code behind (visible only from the HTML tab in the editor) that’s making the shortcode not literally what it appears to be – special characters being replaced, etc.
Let me know if any of these seem to resolve it.
Hi there,
I’m not catching in your message exactly what the problem you’re having is. I’m able to embed that URL fine on my test page. However on some servers you may have trouble with files with spaces in the name. You could try renaming it to use hyphens or underscores instead to bypass that potential issue.
Otherwise perhaps you could explain exactly what’s going wrong? Use the Support link in your plugin list next to Google Doc Embedder to send me the shortcode you’re using and so forth.
Thanks
Kevin

In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] [Plugin: Google Doc Embedder] PDF previewYou don’t need a plugin to do that, just insert a link.
This is not a problem with the plugin. It is currently broken in the viewer itself (Google).
I have a ticket open with them but cannot promise a response time. I’m at their mercy just as you are. Sorry….
In the meantime it should be trivial to convert the affected document(s) into Word 2003 format (.DOC) which continues to work normally.
Your file is very large, and even downloading it your server is sending it rather slow.
Even when I download it manually, I get a message (from PowerPoint 2010) that the file needs to be repaired.
Make sure the file is in good shape, and be sure to compress images to reduce file size:

In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] [Plugin: Google Doc Embedder] Spanish translationThanks Eduardo, I’ve updated the distribution to contain the latest Spanish translation.
I’m sorry the viewer doesn’t seem to be working on your Droid Maxx. I have no idea what browser that phone uses, or if you’re using an alternative browser… all I can tell you is that it is working fine on my (awful, terrible) Droid 2 Global stock browser. If you load the GDE home page from your phone, can you see the sample documents? Is it not working with all documents you try or only some?
I do however see an issue where, if the Enhanced Viewer is selected, the mobile theme is not being loaded (unless specifically selected in the plugin options). I’ll address that in a future release.
This fix was rolled into 2.4.3. Thanks all for your help in tracking down the issue.

In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] [Plugin: Google Doc Embedder] Color of backgroundIn order to do this you’ll have to do a little trickery:
1) Switch to Enhanced Viewer in GDE Settings, if you’re not already using it
2) Go to the plugin editor and edit the proxy.php file, inserting the lines below:
// proxy the javascript file $search[] = "gview/resources_gview/client/js"; $replace[] = "?jsfile=gview/resources_gview/client/js"; $search[] = "#content-pane { background-color: #ebebeb;"; $replace[] = "#content-pane { background-color: blue;";The first 3 lines are just to give you context; insert the last 2 lines in the appropriate place. Of course you’ll have to substitute “blue” for the exact color you want.
I may add an option to more easily override the included style sheet sometime in the future, but for now this is the best option.

Thanks Kristof,
I am testing another fix and will release both together as soon as the other is finalized. Please keep the fix above in place until then.
I appreciate your help in locating the issue.
