Widget talk:Google Spreadsheet

From finiki, the Canadian financial wiki

I don't know when this template widget stopped working, but Google is no longer translating the older URL format. Fortunately, finiki only has 1 page which uses this template widget.

A check of the source code shows the widget is no longer supported. The "Sample result" shows what we were seeing until I revised the template widget.

I further revised the URL to add HTML view (/htmlview) which will provide a "read-only" view and is much faster to download.

Additional discussion is on the Bogleheads' wiki here. --LadyGeek 20:05, 21 April 2017 (CDT)

I changed, via strikethrough, some nomenclature errors above. I looked at the widget source page and I don't see where it indicates "is no longer supported", it shows Status: active . What am I missing? --Peculiar Investor 08:52, 22 April 2017 (CDT)

I am no longer active in MediaWiki developer community due to personal priority changes and the fact that MediaWiki couldn't defeat the spam problem effectively.

See this link: [RESOLVED] Widget:Google Spreadsheet fails on Project:Support desk. The user confirms the broken code and provides a similar solution with the new URL format. --LadyGeek 10:30, 23 April 2017 (CDT)
