CUNY Academic Commons

It appears that the Google Drive embed feature of the Embed Any Document plugin is a Pro feature.

For a free alternative, use the Google Docs Shortcode plugin. Some documentation is available here: https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/google-docs-shortcode/wiki. Ensure that the Google Doc is shareable before attempting to embed. Here's a guide to get the shareable link: https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/google-docs-shortcode/wiki/Sharing-a-Google-Drive-file-and-getting-the-link

Apologies, Laurie. I should have read the ticket more thoroughly! I thought the user was embedding via Google Drive.

Is the user attempting to embed a powerpoint file uploaded to the site's Media Library from a private site? If so, this will not work. The site (or URL) has to be public in order for the powerpoint file to be displayed properly.

Thanks Ray - I tested and it works when site is public.

Hi All,

Thanks for looking into this! Very helpful to know this only works if the site is public.

I identified a work around - if you save ppt as pdf you can display using the pdf embedder plugin on a private site.
