Lets you embed graphs, tables, spreadsheets, forms and quotation engines from the Vixo online spreadsheet.

## Description ##

Drop graphs, tables, spreadsheet accounts, forms and custom quotation engines built in the Vixo spreadsheets into your WordPress pages.

You users can maintain the underlying spreadsheets securely and your website updates automatically.

Vixo next-generation spreadsheets have some features that make them easy to work with when embedded in WordPress sites:

* you can also lock down the spreadsheets to a 'form' version so the users can't break anything
* all changes to all cells in the spreadsheet are logged so you can work out who did what
* you can control user permissions on spreadsheets simply so users can only change their data
* you can build menus and other navigational tools in the spreadsheet to make it easier to deploy to the users

## Installation ##

1. Upload `vixo-plugin-1.0.zip` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
1. Unzip it
1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
1. Use the shortcode `[vixo url="http://example.com/some/page/"]`

[Vixo](http://vixo.com) is a next generation spreadsheet - designed to be used on the internet - everything, [graphs](http://wordpress.vixo.com/index.php/publish-graphs-on-wordpress/), [forms](http://wordpress.vixo.com/index.php/embeddable-vixo-forms/), [pages of figures](http://wordpress.vixo.com/index.php/publishing-figures-on-wordpress-with-a-vixo-spreadsheet/), [tables of data](http://wordpress.vixo.com/index.php/inserting-spreadsheet-tables-into-wordpress/), has its [own URL](http://wordpress.vixo.com/index.php/vixo-embeddable-urls/) which you can pop into the Vixo shortcode. You can build [sophisticated calculation and quotation](http://wordpress.vixo.com/index.php/building-a-calculator-or-quote-engine/) engines and embed them as well.

## Using The Shortcode ##

Because [everything](http://wordpress.vixo.com/index.php/embeddable-vixo-forms/) in Vixo has a URL, The shortcode is very simple and has only  two forms:

`[vixo url="http://example.com/some/page"]`

`[vixo url="http://example.com/some/page", width="198px" height="100px"]`

If it can the Vixo plugin will work out the size of the thing to be embedded automatically and resize to fit.

For a small number of cases (principally [inserting tables](http://wordpress.vixo.com/index.php/inserting-spreadsheet-tables-into-wordpress/)) Vixo needs to be told how wide and high you want the embedded object to be. In this case use the long form and specify the width and height in pixels as per the example.
