Can’t render from shortcode [li_profile]

    Hi,

    I just installed this plugin for wordpress and I’m getting an error :

    I properly install the plugin, register my app for the Linkedin API, get my token key which has been validated.

    I wrote this shortcode in a random page : [li_profile] and when I reload this page, I get this error :

    “An exception has been thrown during the rendering of a template (“Undefined variable: atts”)”

    For this project, I’m using the Themosis Framework, but it’s not the problem, when I switch with a basic wordpress theme, I get the same issue.

    Any ideas ?

    Thanks in advance,

    W.

    Hi,

    If you Google that error you will see that is a Symphony error. It’s not related to the plugin.

    Thanks Claude,

    I’m not familiar with php and twig development, I’ve been asked to add this plugin but I can’t understand where this error come from, I’ve installed some plugins and never had this problem before.

    All I understand is that the variable $atts is not defined in plugins/wp-linkedin/wp-linkedin.php :285

    function wp_linkedin_profile($atts='') {
    $atts = wp_linkedin_shortcode_atts(array(
                'fields' => LINKEDIN_FIELDS,
                'lang' => LINKEDIN_PROFILELANGUAGE
            // HERE
            ), $atts, 'li_profile');
    extract($atts);
 
    $fields = preg_replace('/\s+/', '', LINKEDIN_FIELDS_BASIC . ',' . $fields);
    $profile = wp_linkedin_get_profile($fields, $lang);
 
    if (is_wp_error($profile)) {
        return wp_linkedin_error($profile);
    } elseif ($profile && is_object($profile)) {
        return wp_linkedin_load_template('profile',
                array_merge($atts, array('profile' => $profile)));
    }
}

    but I’m following the instructions on the extension homepage.

    that error doesn’t make sense, that variable is defined just above, in the signature of the method

    Yep, it doesn’t make sense, but I’ve change something and now the error actually concerned the function at line 252+ :

    function wp_linkedin_shortcode_atts($pairs, $args, $shortcode) {
  $out = wp_parse_args($args, $pairs);
  if ($shortcode) {
    $out = apply_filters("shortcode_atts_{$shortcode}", $out, $pairs, $atts, $shortcode);
  }

  return $out;
}

    in $out = apply_filters("shortcode_atts_{$shortcode}", $out, $pairs, $atts, $shortcode); the variable $atts wasn’t defined. So I defined it as an empty array and now the code works.

    function wp_linkedin_shortcode_atts($pairs, $args, $shortcode) {
	$out = wp_parse_args($args, $pairs);
        // edit
	$atts = array();
	if ($shortcode) {
		$out = apply_filters("shortcode_atts_{$shortcode}", $out, $pairs, $atts, $shortcode);
	}

	return $out;
}

    Themosis framework, and twig, prevented me from going further.

    I think you found a nice bug, but it’s not what you think 🙂
    I will release a fix shortly
