Right. The main problem is that it seems that linkedIn, for some fields, creates br tags when you put a blank line, and in some other fields, inserts br tags…

I will investigate more…

Hi Olivier,

I thought about this and I think people who really want to get their linkedIn profile displayed through the plugin simply will have to get a full username in linkedin…

If more people are interested in this functionality, I can do it, but I think for now I will leave it as it is.

Thanks for your suggestion though.

Ok it should be fixed in the development version. However, only br tags are allowed for security reasons (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting)

It seems like this one is going to be harder to fix. I will investigate more this week-end.

Ok, fixed this in the svn. I will do a release when the other bugs are fixed.

Hi Olivier,

The title can normally be found in the [linkedinsc_status] shortcode, however, I’ve noticed something weird: in some linkedIn profiles (including one), this title has the class “headline title summary”, while in others, this title has the class “headline title”… The plugin parses the class “headline title summary”, but does not parse the class “headline title”…

I will see what I can do. Thanks a lot for your comments.

Hi Olivier,

I don’t see exactly what you mean. Do you have an example of a page where this happens ?

Thanks.

Hi Olivier,

Sorry for the late answer.

Don’t hesitate to send me the zip, please ??

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,

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,

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 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,

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