Greetings! Thanks for this wonderful component!

I am attempting to get EasyBlog to autopost into my clients LinkedIn business page. The business page is being run by an executive in my client company thru his LinkedIn account. I am listed as an Admin for the Company page. There is no free-standing company account for which there is a login.

My question is when I request to develop an API for the Key and Secret do I sign into MY LinkedIn account to do this and ascribe the client Company in the API namespace? Or do I need to get the log in credentials from the executive in the company and sign into his account. And then will the Blogs be posted in the Company or in HIS LinkedIn page. I tried implementing the feature this way and nothing seems to be happening.

I am new at LinkedIn and EasyBlog so I know very little about the process.

Thanks for your help.
Randy
Hi team, does Easyblog support posting to LinkedIn Company page already? If not, does version 5 support it?

Hi Ezrul, I managed to configured today but must have done something wrong as Easyblog ended up sharing the post to my personal profile and no to the business page. The tutorial url is dead so hard to know... http://stackideas.com/docs/easyblog/how-tos/setting-up-linkedin-integration#linkedin

Any clues?

thanks,
Andre

Hello team,

I guess I'll need help...Current status:

Facebook - configured, tested & sharing ok
Twitter - cannot configured as I get an error while trying to login to Twitter to grant access to app: An error has occurred. 500 Layout twitter_step0 not found
Linkedin - Autopost page shows it as configured but it's not sharing anywhere now... 1) when I try to type company's name as per screenshot, nothing comes up 2) I cannot revoke acces

Thanks,
Andre

Hello Andre,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply. I am unable to access your site as I hitting the following error, http://screen.stackideas.com/2015-04-10_1716.png

By the way regarding on your issue:
1) Twitter 500 Layout twitter_step0 not found is because of the incorrect callback url from your twitter apps setting. Try to check your twitter apps and go to the "Settings" tab and look for the callback url. http://screen.stackideas.com/2015-04-10_1720.png

2) There is some issue when the user want to revoke the linkedin access, it cannot be done via the click from the backend. You need to revoke it manually through database. If you can provide with the valid Joomla backend and FTP access we can help you with the process.

Extra note : Kindly provide us with your twitter account access and Linkedin access so we can help you to configure the apps correctly for your site.
