There is an bug in Google Embed Plugin

[davidjsap]

Hello,

There is a bug in the Google Embed plugin by Zeroqode.
When used for spreadsheets, it works fine. However, when used for “Presentation”, the full URL that the Zeroqode plugin generates is:

“https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/[id entered]/embed?start=false&delayms=10000&loop=false”

Notice, there is an erroneous “/e/” in the generated URL. This causes the Iframe to always say “Can’t find this document”, because the URL isn’t correct. Simple fix, simply need to remove the /e/.

Can this please be fixed and updated as soon as possible?

Thanks,
David

As a follow on - the error is when an Embed element is set to “Display”.
If you set it to “Edit”, it’s not a problem. However, I need the iframe to be in Display mode, and this is when the error pops up.

Hello @davidjsap

Let us check this out and be back with an update on the matter, asap.
Any additional info details like, proprieties of the element, settings, workflow, steps to reproduce the issue?
Thanks for understanding.

Thanks @Dumitru.

The only steps to reproduce are as follows:

• Place a “Google Embed” element from the plugin
• Set it to “Display” and “Presentation”
• Enter a “fileID” of whatever spreadsheet you want to test

When you preview the page, the embed iframe won’t be able to find the sheet (even with the ID entered correctly). When I inspect the iframe, it appears that the URL the Google Embed plugin generates for the iframe is “https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/fileID/…”. If I remove the /e/ from the URL, the Iframe works correctly.

Hello @davidjsap

We’ve checked the plugin and it is working correctly.
The /e/ URL is created by Google itself. In order to preview the Presentation online be sure to Publish the content to the web.

Once it is published, the id generated by Google will add /e/ in the URI address
