I am trying to insert the shortcode from “Inline Google Spreadsheet Viewer” plugin which creates and HTML table from a Google sheet. I want to display only one cell from the sheet inline within text. I believe the original shortcode is enclosed by which drops any text below.

The goal is to have a sentence such as …. “The top rated player is [shortcode] as of [date]”

I thought this may be possible with you code, but maybe not?

Hi Grayson,

Are you creating a shortcode using Shortcoder?

What is the content (i.e HTML) of the shortcode?
I would like to know how “inline google spreasheet” plugin comes into play.

When you meant [shortcode] I’m nto sure if it is shortcoder’s one or the other plugin you mentioned.

Can you please share more details? Screenshots would also help.

Thanks,
Aakash

Inside my shortcoder code is:

[gdoc key=”https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/MYGOOGLESHEETID/edit#gid=18337438″ query=”select AE limit 1 offset 2″ display=”inline” class=”no-datatables” use_cache=”no”] $$enclosed_content$$

named …. [sc name="maleleader"]is the Men’s rating leader![/sc]

which returns ….
White, Bob (4.08)
is the Men’s rating Leader

where I would like it to be: “White, Bob (4.08) is the Men’s rating Leader

However, I believe this has to do with the shortcode I used within [sc] [/sc]

Hi @grayson,

I guess the gdoc shortcode is adding a newline at the end.

Without using shortcoder can you directly insert the shortcode in a test post and see the results?

example:

[gdoc key=”https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/MYGOOGLESHEETID/edit#gid=18337438″ query=”select AE limit 1 offset 2″ display=”inline” class=”no-datatables” use_cache=”no”] is the Men’s rating Leader

Observe the output of the post. If the line breaks, then gdoc is adding a new line at the end of it’s output.

Thanks,

That is the reason I tried your plugin as I already tried that possibility. You are correct.
Thank you. You’re plugin is truly useful.

I was able to use the below code in your plugin to do the trick. I justslapped all in a HTML table.

<table><tr><td>[gdoc key=”https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/MYGOOGLESHEETID/edit#gid=1833743368&#8243; query=”select AE limit 1 offset 2″ display=”inline” class=”no-datatables” use_cache=”no”] </td><td>is leading Men’s and</td><td>[gdoc key=”https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/MYGOOGLESHEETID/edit#gid=1833743368&#8243; query=”select AF limit 1 offset 2″ display=”inline” class=”no-datatables” use_cache=”no”]</td><td>is leading Womens!</td></tr></table>

Your plugin did it! Thank you!

It now renders all in one line:
“Bob White (4.02) is leading Men’s and Jane Doe (3.15) is leading Women’s!

Hi @grayson,

Shortcoder helps to create “shortcodes” for frequently used HTML/CSS/JS snippets. It does not alter the content. So what you see without a shortcode is what you see with a shortcode.

Glad that you found a workaround.
