Hi, old thread, but interesting extension-unfortunately neccessary to avoid a MS Sharpoint ;-)

Thanks for development.

What I did so far:

OS Ubuntu 16.04

PHP7

Install Mediawiki1.28.0

Downloaded and installed PHPExcel-Library. Example works fine.

Uploaded 01sample.xlsx to wiki.

Downloaded PHPExcel and spreadsheet extensions and spreadsheet-js library.

Created a sample page:

<spreadsheet sheet="0" file="01simple.xlsx" />

No image. After activating debug infos, I replaced deprecated function in parser (getRandomString) with wfRandomString( 16 ) in Spreadsheets.hooks.php.

Still no image. Debugging said missing libraries.

Downloaded missing library files

efp  highcharts  slickgrid

from github.

Now excel files are visible and editable. But changes are not saved.

More deprecated files (jquery...)

Are there any experiences in that direction or are there any alternatives ?

May I ask where to download and how to install efp highcharts and slickgrid

209.159.235.12 (talkcontribs)

git submodule update --recursive --init

That is listed on the page, I looked and that installede highcharts slickgrid and excel-formula-parser (assuming that is efp)
