Maybe when I originally published it years ago Google had a bug in it's
publishing link maker code.

Shanen,

Can you confirm that
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BWGRmw6V8y7vkPPzOaJPh9EaCFztn7PhHEHpKfrCM0o/edit?hl=en_US
is published, not just shared?

Additionally, Google URLs with /a/ in them are documents belonging to a
non-gmail google apps hosted domain. It is expected behaviour. I have a
google apps hosted domain, so I've tested with it.

If I publish a document and restrict access to it to people logged into
google accounts within my google apps domain account, I get a URL
looking like:

https://docs.google.com/a/meldraweb.com/document/pub?id=1ewGfdw21Xd7-pQS299C4wFJptEj_I4pgXLSlI2qKJsc

The URL you have offered looks similar:

https://docs.google.com/a//document/pub?id=1BWGRmw6V8y7vkPPzOaJPh9EaCFztn7PhHEHpKfrCM0o

Did you remove something from the URL after the "/a/" bit, or is this
exactly how google gave it to you?

Thanks,
Melissa.

Title:
  googledocs block doesnt like link from google docs

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I was wondering if the GoogleApps block type supports the google viewer for embedding views of PDFs?
  e.g. this one: 
  https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B9K03PfvoQBFYzI4NDk4OGUtMTkwNC00YmQwLTkzZjMtNWU4YTQzZTk5YTgy&hl=en

  I would like the PDF to show up in Mahara, but when I put this URL in
  it simply doesn’t show.

  Also the normal GoogleDocs block is broken because the URL google
  provides is BROKEN!

  e.g. this: https://docs.google.com/a//document/pub?id=1BWGRmw6V8y7vkPPzOaJPh9EaCFztn7PhHEHpKfrCM0o
  should be https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1BWGRmw6V8y7vkPPzOaJPh9EaCFztn7PhHEHpKfrCM0o
  (no “a/” )

  mahara 1.4.0
  Windows XP SP 2
  firefox 6.0.2

  Cheers,
  Shane.
