LinkedIn Profile Plugin

Question

I am trying to use the LinkedIn membership profile plugin:

http://developer.linkedin.com/plugins/member-profile-plugin-generator 

However, every time I paste the code generated in my HTML document, nothing appears. Forgive my ignorance, if I missed something, I'm pretty new to HTML and CSS. After several searches, I talked about their API many times. Do I need an API key to work? Or am I just missing something in my code?

Here is an example of the code I'm trying to use:

 <script src="//platform.linkedin.com/in.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="IN/MemberProfile" data-id="(Profile URL)" data-format="inline"></script> 

Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

This is definitely due to the fact that you are accessing it through file://C:\ ... \mypage.html instead of hosting it on a server, for example http://myserver.com/mypage.html .

You may see a bug in Chrome if you press F12 for developer tools under the console. It is difficult to find the root cause because they all run in these scenarios.

But the scripts work, and you can see that it works if you just paste it somewhere in the form of the W3Schools TryIt Page

Try using your "linked short url". For example: " https://www.linkedin.com/in/xy ":

You can customize your public profile when you change the public profile. Custom profile custom URLs are available the first time, the first time.

 1.Move your cursor over Profile at the top of your homepage and select Edit Profile. 2.Click the URL link under your profile photo. It will be an address like www.linkedin.com/in/yourname 3.Under the Your public profile URL section on the right, click the Edit icon next to your URL. 4.Type the last part of your new custom URL in the text box. 5.Click Save.
