Inserting document from Google Drive.
Inserting a Google document as an Iframe not only saves file manager space, but also allows for a preview of the document. This is particularly useful for Meeting Minutes.
Step 1: locate your document in Google Drive
Step 2: Right click on the document to load the context menu, and click on share.
Step 3: Ensure the privacy level is set to 'Anyone with the link'- so that visitors to the main website don't need to be logged in.
Step 4: Click done. Now right click on the document again, but click preview.
Step 5: From the three dots in the right hand corner, click 'Open in a new window'
Step 6: Then click 'Embed item...'
Step 7: Copy the HTML code to your clipboard.
For use on any part of the website.
Step 8: You may now paste this into any HTML control on the website. I recommend changing the width parameter to 100%, so it makes best use of screen space.
For example,
<iframe src="https://drive.goog1e.com/fi1e/d/1UYbSIK3W-C—RvMd AILORxf CdK-QXv/preview" width="640" height="480"></iframe>
Becomes:
<iframe src="https://drive.goog1e.com/fi1e/d/1UYbSIK3W-C—RvMd AILORxf CdK-QXv/preview" width="100%" height="480"></iframe>
For use on the meeting minutes page
Click the source button on the meeting minutes box
Extract the unique document id from the url- this starts after "d/" and ends before "/preview":
<iframe src="https://drive.goog1e.com/fi1e/d/1UYbSIK3W-C—RvMd AILORxf CdK-QXv/preview" width="640" height="480"></iframe>
Override only the corresponding unique document id for the given title.
This ensures all the amazing styles will remain on the page.
