Adding a Google Document to a Basecamp (ProjectPath) Writeboard

by in Blog3 Comments on Adding a Google Document to a Basecamp (ProjectPath) Writeboard

We’ve been using this little known feature of Basecamp for some time, so I thought I would post it for the benefit of the casual visitor.  The good makers of Basecamp have neglected to include a useable collaborative document authoring tool.  Since Google has included such a tool as part of the free Google Apps suite, including documents from there into Basecamp seems the natural way to augment what 37-signals have left out.  To add a Google Doc to a Basecamp writeboard:

  1. Create a Google Doc (or spreasheet, presentation, whatever).
  2. Copy and past the URL of the document (minus the “https:”) into TextPad or Notepad.
  3. Make a Writeboard in Basecamp, give it any name.
  4. Paste the following text into the writeboard contents and replace the bold text as required:
    <iframe src=”http://www.fluxinc.ca//docs.google.com/a/www.fluxinc.ca/Doc?docid=asdfkj92399332&hl=en” frameborder=”0″ height=”600″ scrolling=”no” width=”950″></iframe><style type=”text/css”> .Sidebar, .writeboardtitle { display: none; } .col {width: 1024px;}</style>
  5. Save your writeboard, and you’re done!  A nice, wide, writeboard with the toolbox hidden to make more space.

Remember to share your Google Doc with whoever you want to view/edit it — Basecamp permissions do not translate into Google Apps.
