Today, I’m starting a work experience placement with the British Civil Service. This page is a temporary demo scratchpad to show off some ideas.
While I’m working on service embedding for static websites (in the project Darth’s Hugo Shortcodes; see here for the release thread on the GoHugo forums), here’s some features I believe may be helpful to the department:
Google Docs/Sheets/Slides/Drive/Forms embedding
Allows for easy document editing and public/semi-public sharing. Downside: initial setup requires a little technical expertise.
Google Docs
To embed a document, I use the following code:
{{< google doctype="docs" publishcode="2PACX-1vRtcK1TuBM3W_iI_z3mKvNS5Jza1d5eFjVOjZCwsYKl_FbCSdxTI5gjw4E3oWJEF4rCGbEZBtRT8eKS" size="large" url="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Wl3fQdF85Br01t7gvVsQ4F_clw6LoOCF9kG4fJTpRW8/edit?usp=sharing" >}}
The below document is publicly editable; click on the little blue Google Docs icon to open the editing page. I will eventually disable/delete this, to avoid vandalisation.
Google Forms
Similar code is used to embed a feedback form:
{{< google doctype="docs" publishcode="2PACX-1vRtcK1TuBM3W_iI_z3mKvNS5Jza1d5eFjVOjZCwsYKl_FbCSdxTI5gjw4E3oWJEF4rCGbEZBtRT8eKS" size="large" url="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Wl3fQdF85Br01t7gvVsQ4F_clw6LoOCF9kG4fJTpRW8/edit?usp=sharing" >}}
Please do not enter any confidential information or real contact details (you can reach me from the About page, above); the below form is a public demo!!!
Google Sheets
The below spreadsheet again uses similar code to embed the results of the above feedback form:
{{< google doctype="sheets" publishcode="2PACX-1vTKL3b5_-6fOuwKHmi0Czf7YVsb_x7BpDUAWNW4SZV35zYMKYlJq-wdZwmOvrXK89Xeq5iz0nEYDW5t" size="medium" url="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1scrk38OQjXUE42EqmTTFdNmp8PopXxsQ2A7xnVkmmzA/edit?usp=sharing" >}}
Further work
As this is a working document, more examples to come later; slideshows and spreadsheets (e.g. the results of a feedback form) can also be displayed. I am also actively working on bringing over the same features from Microsoft OneDrive and SharePoint.
