[Plugin: LinkedIn SC] Positions not retrieved

I have the same problem and no solution.
Copied and pasted the code from the wordpress-plugin page, but it doesn’t work.

Every other code works fine, only positions is broken.

Hi RobotJoosen,

thanks a lot for debugging. It works… partially.
Date, title and company are displayed. But company industry and summary are hidden. Look at my page: http://www.startupnavigator.de/christian-kramer/vita/

Thanks for your work.

Hello again,

For this one you need to open the following file:

Path : linkedin-sc/inc/linkedin-sc-experiences.php

and replace the code from line 201 to 229 with the following code

private function fill_position($experience) {
		$exp = new stdClass();
		$exp->title = trim($experience->div->h3->span);
		$exp->company = new stdClass();
		if($experience->div->h4->strong->a) {
			$exp->company->name = trim($experience->div->h4->strong->a->span);
			$exp->company->link = $experience->div->h4->strong->a['href'];
		} else {
			$exp->company->name = trim($experience->div->h4->strong->span);
		}
		foreach($experience->xpath('.//p[contains(@class, "orgstats organization-details")]') as $sector) {
			$s = explode(';', $sector[0]);
			$c = count($s) - 1;
			$exp->company->industry = $s[$c];
		}
		foreach($experience->xpath('.//abbr[@class="dtstart"]') as $start) {
			$exp->start_date = $start['title'];
		}
		foreach($experience->xpath('.//abbr[@class="dtend"]') as $end) {
			$exp->end_date = $end['title'];
		}
		foreach($experience->xpath('.//span[@class="duration"]') as $end) {
			$exp->duration = $end->span['title'];
		}
		foreach($experience->xpath('.//p[contains(@class, " description")]') as $description) {
			$exp->summary = $this->subXML($description->asXML());
		}
		return $exp;
	}

I honestly think there are a lot more things broken but this will fix it for now…

Hi RobotJoosen,

with your new codes I got an error message:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘&’ in /home/www/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/linkedin-sc/lib/linkedin_profile/linkedin_public_profile.php on line 203

Maybe it depends on $exp->title = trim($experience->div->h3->span);

Any idea?

The rows that are empty because there is no data to retreive.

When you look at “Inhaber” at macs & moritz, you can see that there is no industry.

I hope you like code, though it is not a solution just the cause of your problem.

The $exp->company->industry is filled with certain content from an element that has the partial class “orgstats organization-details”. If you look at the following code, extracted from your linkedin page you see the following difference in code

<div>
    <div class="position   experience vevent vcard summary-past" style="display:block">
        <a class="include" href="#name"></a>
        <div class="postitle">
            <h3 class="false">
                <strong class="title">
                    <a href="/search?search=&title=Inhaber&sortCriteria=R&keepFacets=true&currentTitle=C"
                    title="Find users with this title" name="title">Inhaber</a>
                </strong>
            </h3>
            <h4>
                <strong>
                    <a href="/search?search=&currentCompany=C&company=macs+%26+moritz&sortCriteria=R&keepFacets=true"
                    title="Find users who have worked at this company" name="company">macs & moritz</a>
                </strong>
            </h4>
        </div>
        <p class="orgstats organization-details past-position"></p>
        <p class="period">

            <span class="duration">

            <span class="location">Freising</span>
        </p>
        <p class=" description past-position">Handel mit Apple-Produkten (Hardware, Software)</p>
    </div>
</div>

And

<div>
    <div class="position   experience vevent vcard summary-current" style="display:block">
        <a class="include" href="#name"></a>
        <div class="postitle">

                    title="Find users with this title" name="title">Vorstand</a>
                </strong>
            </h3>
            <h4>
                <strong>

                    </span>
                </strong>
            </h4>
        </div>
        <p class="orgstats organization-details current-position">Branche: Management von Nonprofit-Organisationen</p>
        <p class="period">
            <abbr class="dtstart" title="2007-11-01">November 2007</abbr>–
            <abbr class="dtstamp" title="2012-02-20">Aktuell</abbr>
            <span class="duration">
                <span class="value-title" title="P4Y4M"></span>(4 Jahre 4 Monate)</span>
        </p>
        <p class=" description current-position">Ressort Organisation & Öffentlichkeitsarbeit</p>
    </div>
</div>

The first code block show that following element is empty. (this contains the partial class “orgstats organization-details”.
<p class="orgstats organization-details past-position"></p>

in the second block you can see that the same element has content.
<p class="orgstats organization-details current-position">Branche: Management von Nonprofit-Organisationen</p>

So even if you have stored the industry, for me and the plugin it is not visible. I don’t have a solution for this problem. But i think the solution is in your LinkedIn profile.

Greets,

Roald Joosen

p.s. maybe the language choice (german over english) might be the problem, as you can see it has branche at the front instead of industry at the end. I’m not sure about this but maybe you could try the first code and see if there is any difference. Also the explode might screw up some things because of the langauge. Not sure but it might be something, no time to check, got to get be to work.

Hi RobotJoosen,
I need some help. Basically I’ve 2 problems.

First one: I can see the photo. I’ve a WordPress website with SSL certificate. When I post a CV with the “secure post” property on, I can’t see the photo. But if I change this property to “off”, the photo is show. Looking at the source code of the page, I see that when I’ve the “secure post” property to on, the url for the photo is a “HTTPS//…” and this is the reason why the link is broken.
Can I force the url for the photo to “HTTP//”?

Second one: I’ve the LinkedIn API installed (I’ve my API and secrect keys), but I can’t see my Computer and Languages Skills. I can see only the shortcodes. There is something more that I must do or some setting to change to see the computer and languages skills?

Thank for your help,

Marcelino

Hi Roald,
Thank you for your response. It doesn’t work. I tried the same solution yesterday, but the system always change from http to https.
I’ve another problem: I can’t display the headline ([linkedinsc_headline]) and also I can’t display the location name ([linkedinsc_location_name]).
Any idea?
Thanks!!!
Marcelino
