I would like to have different “checklists” if you will posted of things ordered and being delivered to dms that I can change/people can check as “received”. Plus other things for various needs around the space. I’ve been posting google docs but not everyone likes that (and it’s a link) and just screenshots of my own files - neither are ideal.
Anyone know?
Am I being clear or fuzzy on what I’m wanting?
A Link to a Google Sheet (via Google Docs) would probably serve your needs. You can either make it available to anyone with the link, or invite individual Google Accounts to edit.
Note that access is tied to a Google Account, which might be different from a given user’s DMS email account.
I doubt embedded, group-editable spreadsheets will be coming to Talk anytime soon.
Google Sheets or a page on the Wiki are a click away. The former is more novice-friendly and more options re: edit access, while the latter includes an audit trail of changes made and better rollback capabilities.
Wiki post here in TALK kinda sorta might do something like what you need…
Also, there is a plugin for that, of our admins want try it… https://meta.discourse.org/t/embed-google-spreadsheet-plugin/21673/11
If I read that right, PUBLISHING a Google sheet will allow it to be embedded via the built in “onebox gem”, effectively. Of course, that info is now out of date, so who knows…
Yeah… That “onebox” thing works like poop, as far as I can tell.
The plugin looks much cooler, and much more like what is desired, but probably has drawbacks I’m unable to discern presently (other than the whole “anyone with the link may edit” thing, which seems easily surmountable by posting into the carefully constructed “members only” sections of TALK…)
Oh, this is a WIKI post, so feel free to add to all the ways this sucks:
To edit or dispaly from onebox, one must open a new window, or otherwise follow some link.
publishing does NOT make the thing editable, whether you have link or not
I know that’s not editable, but is that any closer to what’s desired? In terms of “inline display”?
I seem to recall there’s reasons NOT to do that, but they slip my mind presently…
It is an embedded Google Doc (Sheet). And it is actually editable if you set the permissions. I had added each person as read/write so they could update their order as we went along until the final deadline.
So do I lack the skill/knowledge (highly likely!) or has that now been disabled in Discourse?
Including the iframe tagged “publish embedded” doesn’t appear to work in a new post…
