Prerequisite :
- Read Documentation at developer.linkedin.com
- Create an application follow developer @ linkedin
- Once application is created successfully, save your Client ID & Client Secret at secure location
- Post comments if you have any question on Prerequisite. Let jump on to topic
Create a Custom Login Button :
HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html><head>
<meta charset=’utf-8′ />
</head><body>
<button type=”button” class=”btn btn-lg btn-info linkedinShareButton”>
<i class=”icon icon-linkedin”></i>
</button></body>
</html>
Looks like below:
Jquery:
// Setup an event listener to make an API call once auth is complete
function onLinkedInLoad() {
shareContent();
}// Handle the successful return from the API call
function onSuccess(data) {
console.log(“onSuccess”);
console.log(data);
}// Handle an error response from the API call
function onError(error) {
console.log(“error”);
console.log(error);
}// Use the API call wrapper to share content on LinkedIn
function shareContent() {
// Build the JSON payload containing the content to be shared
var payload = {
“comment”: “Check out developer.linkedin.com! http://linkd.in/1FC2PyG“,
“visibility”: {
“code”: “anyone”
}
};IN.API.Raw(“/people/~/shares?format=json”)
.method(“POST”)
.body(JSON.stringify(payload))
.result(onSuccess)
.error(onError);
}$(document).on(“click”, “.linkedinShareButton”, function() {
IN.UI.Authorize().place();
IN.Event.on(IN, “auth”, onLinkedInLoad);
});
That it, Now go and check your post on LinkedIn.com, wait for couple of min to see your post on wall.
