I am creating a tutorial for EasyBlog Autoposting integration with Linkedin and I would like to get some clarification when you have some spare time.

This is NOT a HIGH PRIORITY so you DO NOT have to reply to this unless you have some spare time.

I am creating video class tutorials for EasySocial, EasyBlog, and EasyDiscuss and I have a few questions about setting setting up an App for:

1. EasyBlog Autoposting with Linkedin.

Question 1:

In the Linkedin develop page area, Do I need to set any of the OAuth 1.o redirect information or URL redirect information for the App?

screencast: http://screencast.com/t/gW43dtWRL

Question 2:

Centralized Account Yes No <----- Question. If I set this to YES does that mean all blog posts from all users will be posted to my Linked account page?

LinkedIn - Step 2

You will need to login with your LinkedIn account now and grant authorization for the application.
Completed
Do you want to enable centralized account for all auto updates? <----- Question. If I set this to [b]YES does that mean all blog posts from all users will be posted to my Linked account page?[/b]
No Yes
Do you want to automatically post a new update into LinkedIn when a new blog post is created and published?
No Yes
Would you also like to automatically post updates into LinkedIn when an existing blog post is updated?
No Yes

Also, there was a question asked the other day by user Paul Murray asking: #130042: LinkedIn - Comment Length Is Too Long - Max Length Is 700 Characters.

See: http://stackideas.com/forums/linkedin-comment-length-is-too-long-max-length-is-700-characters

Hello Support

I have a problem when auto posting to linkedin when I post a Blog post or update it, I get the following error message.

LinkedIn->share(): comment length is too long - max length is 700 characters.

Please advise.


If this error occurs, how do I inform the viewers of the video tutorial how to fix this error message? The thread is locked so I can't ask the question in the post #130042.

Any clarification on what errors you commonly see come up and how to resolve the errors would be appreciated to learn more. This way I can document them and create tutorials to reduce the common questions asked about INtegration with Linkedin for the EasyBlog App.

Thank you.

Randall
Thanks Randall!

Question 1: Nope, you don't have to

Question 2: Yes, that is correct.

The max length of 700 characters in LinkedIn is already fixed in the latest version of EasyBlog

Thanks Mark,

I appreciate your assistance to answer and clarify so I give the correct information in my video tutorials.

To keep things easier to find, I decided to put all video tutorials on EasySocial into one Post. that way you and your team can refer people to these videos in this post:

So far I have created 4 videos and have 5 more in the works. The Linkedin Video is next. II want to post one a day, so I am getting about 7 ready in a few days so I always have one for the next day.

O hope they will answer the most common questions that people seem to always be asking so you and your team can focus on other tasks.
