=== WP LinkedIn === Author: Claude Vedovini Contributors: cvedovini Donate link: http://vedovini.net/plugins/?utm_source=wordpress&utm_medium=plugin&utm_campaign=wp-linkedin Tags: linkedin,resume,recommendations,profile,network updates Requires at least: 2.7 Tested up to: 3.8.1 Stable tag: 1.13 License: GPLv3 License URI: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html == Description == This plugin provides you with shortcodes to insert your full LinkedIn profile and a rotating scroller of your LinkedIn recommendations in any Wordpress page or post. Please check vedovini.net for examples. The following shortcodes are available: * `[li_recommendations width="480" length="200" interval="1000"]` displays a rotating scroller with the recommendations you received * `[li_profile]` displays your LinkedIn profile. Optional attributes are `fields` and `lang` to overide the general settings. * `[li_card]` displays a simple LinkedIn card. Optional attributes are `picture_width` and `summary_length`, and `fields` and `lang` to overide the general settings. * `[li_updates]` displays your network updates. Optional attributes are `count` and `only_self`. To customize the rendering of the shortcodes you must create a `linkedin` folder in your theme and then copy the template file you want to modify. The default template files are located in the plugin's `templates` folder. See this post for more details on customization: [Showing more of your LinkedIn profile with WP-LinkedIn](http://vedovini.net/more-wp-linkedin) There are also several widgets. One widget displays the recommendations scroller, one displays your network updates, and two widgets show a "profile card" - one of which is the standard LinkedIn JavaScript profile widget, the other uses a customizable template. **ATTENTION:** Since v1.6 the call to add the javascript for the recommendations slider to the page as been moved to the `recommendations.php` template. If you customized that template you must add the following line to the top of your custom template: `wp_enqueue_script('responsive-scrollable');` We welcome volunteers to translate that plugin into more languages.

Upload the `wp-linkedin` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress 1.

The `Profile fields` field is the list of fields that will be available to the profile template for rendering - see this post for more details on customization: [Showing more of your LinkedIn profile with WP-LinkedIn](http://vedovini.net/more-wp-linkedin) == Frequently Asked Questions == = Does the plugin support multiple user profiles? = No, it doesn't. But there is a premiun extension, [WP-LinkedIn Multi-Users](http://vedovini.net/downloads/wp-linkedin-multi-users/?utm_source=wordpress&utm_medium=plugin&utm_campaign=wp-linkedin) that changes the behavior of this plugin so that shortcodes and widgets show the data of the author of the post or page. = Does the plugin support company profiles? = No, it doesn't. But there is a premiun extension, [WP-LinkedIn for Companies](http://vedovini.net/downloads/wp-linkedin-co/?utm_source=wordpress&utm_medium=plugin&utm_campaign=wp-linkedin) that provides shortcodes and widgets for company profiles and company updates. = How to add the volunteer experiences section from my profile? = The volunteer experiences section is already in the template but is not activated by default. To activate it you must add the relevant profile fields to to the list of fields, the minimum is `volunteer`. To get the full data use `volunteer:(volunteer-experiences:(organization,cause,role,start-date, end-date,description))`. = How to add the projects section to my profile? = The projects section is already in the template but is not activated by default. To activate it you must add the relevant profile fields to the list of fields: `projects:(name,url,start-date,end-date,members:(person:(public-profile-url, first-name,last-name,picture-url,headline)),description)`. = How to add other sections to my profile? = For other sections see [Showing more of your LinkedIn profile with WP-LinkedIn](http://vedovini.net/more-wp-linkedin). = I have a slider somewhere and it doesn't work anymore when I add the recommendations' scroller = It's usually due to an incompatibility between the different javascript components used. To solve the incompatibility it's better to choose one of the component and use only this one. To change the component that is used by the recommendations' scroller you will need to customize the `recommendations.php` template. = I am constantly asked to get a new access token = There can be several reasons to that problem, check the following: - Make sure your server's time is correct. - If you are using an external cache system make sure it's properly configured. - Try to uncheck the `Verify SSL peer` option on the plugin's settings page. = Since I updated to v1.6 the recommendation slider does not work anymore = Since v1.6 the call to add the javascript for the recommendations slider to the page as been moved to the `recommendations.php` template. If you customized that template you must add the following line to the top of your custom template: `wp_enqueue_script('responsive-scrollable');` = The updates shortcode (or the updates widget) doesn't show anything = Try regenerating the access token from the settings page, the plugin needs new authorization to access your network updates. == Screenshots == 1. The recommendation shortcode in action (note that the CSS is customized in that example). 2. Full page using the profile shortcode and displaying the LinkedIn full profile. 3. LinkedIn profile card added after a post content. == Changelog == = Version 1.13 = - Added support for projects section in the profile template.
