Widget talk:Google Spreadsheet

Edit link
The parser extension provides a convenient edit link (if you have permission) as in this example, http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User_talk:FGrose/sandbox, (it provides this URI, http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=, in a new browser tab).

Is this something that might be made available in this widget? --FGrose 01:22, November 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, added "page" parameter to enable full version with edit link. --Sergey Chernyshev 02:07, December 8, 2009 (UTC)

Security question
You might want to mention that:


 * A) You need to "publish" your spreadsheet in order to use a spreadsheet with this widget.

and


 * B) That publishing the spreadsheet opens it up for viewing by *anyone* in the world.

We were thinking of using the Google Forms combined with the Google Spreadsheets to create a questionnaire and allow people to browse the results. However, the questions are around sensitive business issues, so having the spreadsheet open to viewing by anyone would be a big security risk.


 * Added this to description. BTW, Forms can be shared without opening spreadsheets - just forms. --Sergey Chernyshev 04:38, July 2, 2008 (UTC)

Problem with a Chart
I'm trying to add this spreadsheet chart: http://spreadsheets.google.com/oimg?key=0AkLG2jiQkH64dE1peHVDbU5EZEdaU09KaXpaWkxSdmc&oid=1&v=1263406864019

If I remove everything after the first &, it shows the source spreadsheet for the chart. Using the whole URL, I get a "we're sorry" error page from Google Docs. Note: This chart is going into wiki on a private network, but the info on the spreadsheet is not private.
