   I have a mutli site running wp3.1.1 im placing this in the header.

   <?php
    $LIURL = the_author_meta('linkedinurl');
    echo do_shortcode('[linkedinsc profile=".$LIURL." lang="en"]');
    echo do_shortcode('[linkedinsc_summary]');
   ?>

   the user_meta field is 'linkedinurl'
   the point is to be able to have each person who signs up for a blog to be able to display their linkedin summery

   any idea why this wont work?

   Hi,

   A few questions/ideas:

   I'm not sure the header is the right place to put something lik this. Maybe try in another place.

   Are you using the LinkedIn API to parse user profiles. Because parsing user profiles based on URLs only works if you are NOT using LinkedIn API (and therefore if you have your LinkedIn SC settings empty) ?

   Finally, how does your URLs look like ?

   i figured it out,

   $user_info=get_userdatabylogin($user_login_name);
