Dobbs Forum Shortcodes

Shortcodes for use in the DOBBS forum

========= Special Shortcodes =============

*Embed Google document view : [gview file="http://xxxxxxxxx"]
- where xxxxxxxxx = URL of the file e.g. a PDF or Doc file hosted somewhere - it could be a URL of the PDF you come across in another website for instance
- If you wish to upload the PDF to Dobbs, you have to use the Document upload feature of each Dobbs Group. Click on the Home section of any Dobbs group and then the Documents section. e.g. for Dobbs General it is
http://forum.mydobbs.net/groups/dobbs-general/documents/
Upload the document there and then right click on the uploaded Document to get the URL to use in the shortcode

*Forum polls : [fpoll question='Do you find the shortcodes useful?' options='Yes,No']
The Forum editor helps you create this shortcode. The Poll tab is in the upper right of the Forum editor editing buttons.

*Forum spoiler : This hides a "secret" answer which only on clicking is displayed . Examples:
Named Spoiler: [spoiler=two plus two]four[/spoiler]
Unnamed Spoiler: [spoiler]Boo![/spoiler]
