[Plugin: LinkedIn SC] Error Warnings

Hi,

This is because your server does not allow URL file access. You need to allow url fopen on your server. See:

https://www.php.net/manual/en/filesystem.configuration.php#ini.allow-url-fopen

Hi,

thanks, now it works particulary.
Some shortcodes won’t work in the German version of LinkedIn, esp. status, interest, whole education.

Hi,

I think the plugin can’t parse your status, education and interests because they are not in your profile. I looked at https://www.linkedin.com/in/kramerchristian, and haven’t seen any Education block, Status or Interests.

Look at my profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/guillaumev
You will see the Education, Experience, Status and Interests block I’m talking about…

Keep me updated.

Hi,

now it works. The reason for the hidden informations was the unchecked detail in education.

Are there any other shortcodes? esp. conclusion?

Found an error: [linkedinsc_org_link] shows always the page url, not the saved website url.

Hi,

There are no other shortcodes than the ones documented in the readme, but I could add one. Which part of the linkedIn profile are you referring to when you say ‘conclusion’ ?

[linkedinsc_org_link] tries to parse the organization link that is in the linkedIn profile, and outputs it if it exists. However, if the link does not exist, it outputs nothing, which a browser interprets as a link to the current page. For example, if you take my profile (https://www.linkedin.com/in/guillaumev/en) you will see that, for the Multimap organization, there is a link, and this link is correctly output on my wordpress page (https://www.viguierjust.com/curriculum). However, when it comes to an organization that doesn’t have a link (such as Bibliobrousse in my profile), the link results to a link to the current page. I’ll see if I can fix that by providing a new shortcode in a future release and will let you know when it’s fixed.

Cheers.

Hi,

I want referring to part with the css-id “summary”.

Maybe there is a bug in the linkedin website, because I cannot save external urls in the companies detail. Some of my companies have got no profile at LinedIn. This could be the reason for the self-referring link.

Hi,

Ok, I will add a shortcode for the summary and will see how I can fix the self-referring links. I will let you know when it’s done.

Thanks for your help in improving the plugin

Hi,

I updated the plugin to version 1.0.1: you can now use the shortcode linkedinsc_summary to display your LinkedIn summary. As for the organization links, you can use the linkedinsc_org_full_link shortcode, which will display a link to the organization if the link exists in your LinkedIn profile, and the organization’s name only if the link doesn’t exist, therefore solving the problem of the self-referring link…

Let me know if that works for you…

Hi,

thanks a lot. The summary works fine.
Only the link is the problem, because LinkedIn deleted the link function at the company section. But it doesn’t matter.

I will send you an email with the url, if the site is online.

Cheers,
CK

Hi,

the plugin works fine. I have got only a problem with certifications. They are not listet.
I think everything is prepared well:
1. The LinkedIn API is connected (over API-Key, secret key and profile connection)
2. The certifications are public in LinedIn Profile
3. The code is correctly embedded.

But, why it doesn’t work. Every other past of cv is correctly imported.

Look at this: https://www.ckmarketing.de/leistungen/vita/
Headline “Zertifizierungen” (scroll down)

Thanks a lot.
CK

Hi Chris,

Certifications are the only part of your page that requires the use of LinkedIn API. So what I believe is that for some reason the plugin is not using the LinkedIn API to parse your profile, but the public profile.

I would advise you to:
1. Make sure your administration interface is using HTTPS
2. Make sure the author (author in the wordpress sense) of the page https://www.ckmarketing.de/leistungen/vita/ is the same as the one you used to sign in with LinkedIn
3. Make sure you have all the API and secret key correctly entered…

Let me know if that helped…

Hi Guilaumev,

every point is working fine – with the exception of point 1.
Would it be helpful to install a https-plugin? What would you recommend?

Greets,
CK

Hi Chris,

As explained on the plugin’s page and on my blog, you NEED to have your administration interface accessible in HTTPS to get the plugin working with the LinkedIn API. So you need to set up HTTPS on your server, otherwise it will not work…
