New WordPress plugin: LinkedIn SC
After looking at various wordpress plugins (LinkedIn Resume and LinkedIn hResume) to allow me to display my resume, coming from LinkedIn, on my website, I decided to create my own plugin, LinkedIn SC.
Why ?
Both LinkedIn Resume and LinkedIn hResume do not actually allow you to customize the HTML of your LinkedIn profile. They basically take the HTML of LinkedIn “as is” and it’s your job to customize it using CSS only. I needed something more flexible…
How ?
The SC in the name LinkedIn SC means ShortCode. LinkedIn SC basically parses your linkedIn profile and creates a lot of shortcodes (which you will find in the documentation of the plugin) which allows you to display the elements of your linkedIn CV however you wish, using the HTML you want to use. In order to parse your linkedIn profile, it uses the LinkedIn profile library.
LinkedIn profile parser library
This library allows you, through the LinkedInProfile class, to parse a LinkedIn profile and display the result in whatever format you want. See the file linkedin_profile_test.php for an example of how to use it. Please note that this library is distributed under the GPL3 licence.
