ADT Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 So I followed the tutorial on here... but we don't have a link which says "View link - no sign-in required" so I went for the next best option "View link- (BLANK!!!!) Schools account required"!! So after that went through the rest of the steps and it all seams to work for me!! PPT is on a page!!! Yahoo!!! So share this with others but when they open the page where the PowerPoint should it asks them to log into SharePoint.... ok.... but then says they cant see the file they need to seek permission????? Thought this was an issue with us.... but strangly the external link buttons ive added to link to worksheets etc seam to work???? Any ideas??? Thanks!!

Graham Quince Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 You need it set to "View Link - no sign in required" - it's a setting in Office365 which can be turned on. I don't have access to the management / admin area of Office365, @clangstaff, didn't you have a similar issue which you were able to deal with?

ADT Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 Yeah that's not going to happen!!! But that wouldn't explain how the links work but embedding doesn't??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clangstaff Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 @ADT Sounds like you need to make some amendments within the Admin panel to get this setting made available. I couldn't tell you exactly which setting it is but it appears there for us. However, regardless of this setting to get a PowerPoint to display publicly on a site (for people who are not logged in to office 365 within the same browser) we had to paste the link in to some code then use that embed code in a HTML widget. Follow guidance below. Public embed for 365 documents 1. Go to document and get view only link as pasted below https://holmfirthhighco-my.sharepoint.com/personal/c_langstaff_holmfirthhigh_co_uk/_layouts/15/guestaccess.aspx?guestaccesstoken=TK30DsRUK7iaforLU3LQuN2ruEWNMYjDFvIYM5dvFVE%3d&docid=0eeff524964254ccc80f5599db64a7ca5&rev=1 2.

But as long as staff/students are logged into O365 first and the I've used the view only- if logged in... then it should work the same??????? You'd think????

clangstaff Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 @ADT Sorry for the reply. Have you tried getting a user to log in to Office 365 then in the same browser attempt to open the site containing the document rather than logging in to the small Sharepoint window on the page. Not sure if this will work but worth a try. I'd also suggest talking to someone who can make changes within the Office 365 platform and allowing the sharing of documents externally.

The issues is our managed service are massively over protective and will not makes changes to the settings.... so I have to work with what I have!!

clangstaff Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 @ADT Presuming the managed service don't want individuals sharing documents publicly it may be more reasonable to ask them to create a public Sharepoint site including a documents area which you have managing rights to. That way settings don't need to be changed school wide but you should be able to achieve the same. I would keep arguing the case with the managed service providers - Office 365 is incredibly flexible for a reason and permissions can be manipulated on all levels to make it work to each schools requirements.

Graham Quince Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 What I'm discovering about FrogCode is that it is easy to do some things like adapting a link, but it's harder to add polish such as responsive changes, rich text and dealing with page layouts that Frog widgets usually have. So it's going to be easy to hack stuff together to get a job done, but depending on what is wanted it might not feel as "clean" as a traditional widget. The only one affected by that is me* really. As a Frog employee any widgets I build will have to be checked and approved. I suppose I could set up a phantom school and create widgets under a pseudonym? Or maybe we have a great big "Frog Amateur" sticker on any widgets Frog employees who aren't full time developers share. *Actually @Alistair Gill, @Jenny Vosper and head of sales Anthony Doyle have all built widgets too. Edd keeps finding excuses not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
