Hello,

I'm having an issue with the Linkedin Autoposting I hope you can help me with. My problem is that the auto posting works fine (the Linkedin API is active and the EasyBlog settings are correct), but Linkedin is sending update emails with all the posts being attributed to my account when I am not the author of the blog (rather than anonymously or from the actual blog post author). I realize this might be an issue with the Linkedin API and not EasyBlog, but any help understanding or resolving my issue would be much appreciated.

I'm using a centralized account for all autoupdates in my settings, with allow users to set up their own Linkedin autoposting set to No. I want all the authors to post to the company page, not to their personal profiles. However, I don't want the posts to be associated with an individual profile (in this case mine), or if that's not possible, I want to choose the profile it is associated with (eg., the company owner). I initially created the API in Linkedin. In the Linkedin API settings, I have added all the bloggers as administrators, but there are no settings for who to associate the API activity (auto posting) from.

Would I have to allow each blogger to set up their own auto posting in the EasyBlog settings, then have them set it up with the same API key? Or would they need to create their own API keys and associate them with the company page? Or is there a setting I can change in EasyBlog to change the auto posting author association, either to none, or to default to another Joomla user or Linkedin account?
Hello Quinn,

Sorry for the late reply.

They don't have to set their own API key. You just have to turn on this option (http://screen.stackideas.com/2014-12-18_2319.png) in ACL for their usergroup and they will be able to sign in with their Linkedin account via Edit Profile in Frontend: http://screen.stackideas.com/2014-12-18_2321.png

Ok. Thanks Nick. Everyone who posts blogs is set as a super user, so all their options are set to yes is ACL. I will have them sign in with Linkedin before posting next time and see how that works.

Cheers!
