Scribd Doc Embedder

Description

Adds 2 shortcodes so Scribd documents or documents supported by Scribd (e.g. PDF, MS Office, ePub, and many others) can
be embedded into a web page using the Scribd Docs Reader. These shortcodes provide functionality beyond the standard scribd
embed shortcode provided in Jetpack by WordPress.com.

Version 2 Now includes shortcode button and configurator in the editor so you easily enter the information you need to embed you documents. Take a look at the screenshots to see them.

[scribd-doc] Shortcode:

• Allows you to embed a document that has been uploaded to Scribd.
• The Scribd document can be public or private.
• Requires both the document ID and the document key:
• [scribd-doc doc=”DOCID” key=”KEY”]

[scribd-url] Shortcode:

• Allows you to create a Scribd Reader from a publicly accessible URL.
• Naturally requires that the document type be supported by Scribd.
• Requires both the document URL and your Scribd Publisher API key:
• [scribd-url url=”FULL-URL” pubid=”YOUR-SCRIBD-PUBLISHER-ID”]

Both shortcodes support many optional parameters provided by the Scribd API:

• width: Define the width of the Reader in pixels.
• height: Define the height of the Reader in pixels.
• page: Set a page number for the Reader to load on.
• mode: Define the player mode (either “list” or “slideshow”)
• share: Defines whether the share button in the toolbar is shown, overriding the default (either “true” or “false”)
• seamless: If set to “true”, puts the player into seamless mode
  (seamless is only supported by scribd-doc)

If height or width are not set, the Scribd Reader will attempt to size itself correctly.

Works on v5.3.2

raybez February 26, 2020

I have just successfully installed and configured it to work on my website which currently runs v5.3.2. Works perfectly.

Stay away from plugins not updated recently

Embed code doesn’t work with current version of WP. Probably worked when it was launched but 2 years without an update creates an unworkable plugin. Best to use the Scribd embed code.
