In [this post](https://community.metabrainz.org/t/allowing-users-to-run-jobs-on-their-local-machines-and-then-uploading-the-results-on-the-server/91/8), there is a link to a Google Docs document (on a line by itself, so oneboxed). However, the onebox isn’t visible for me (Firefox 45) – there is only a piece of white space. I had to look at the source for the post to see what the intention was. Can other users see the box? If so, in which browser(s)? ---

Can’t see it either in Chromium 48.0.2564.116 ---

Ah, I already wondered what’s wrong with this post. Looks like the request URL does not want to be framed, it’s sending an `X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN` header, leading to: ```nohighlight Load denied by X-Frame-Options: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Qi-5hDrjvhSBikI8Qku8tors6Z8sP43icDp-pUvDEjQ/pub?embedded=true does not permit cross-origin framing. ``` ---

That’s a shame. I don’t really have a clue as to whether there’s anything we can do to fix this. ☹ ---

Ok, I found something about it here: > **[Google docs onebox gem requires a "published" document](https://meta.discourse.org/t/google-docs-onebox-gem-requires-a-published-document/33649)** > > Embedding a Google document via the onebox gem seems to be broken. All that displays is a blank placeholder. When trying new posts, I get the following error in the console: Load denied by X-Frame-Options: (Google Doc URL) does not permit... So the trick is that the document needs to be published (inside Google Docs File -\> Publish to the web) and not just shared. I did not even know about that feature before. Unfortunately the onebox also triggers for just shared links ☹ Also it does not provide any link to the published document 😕 Example: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kq3ci5beAUwlmWZUKuuVYCPIxcFEuPwKJk8M9XMvGT8/pub](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kq3ci5beAUwlmWZUKuuVYCPIxcFEuPwKJk8M9XMvGT8/pub) ---

Any chance you want to pursue this on meta.discourse? 😇 ---
