On October 14, 2015, LinkedIn converted all groups to private,
\n which has made the groups display functionality of this plug-in
\n impossible. However, the Sign in with Linked functionality still
\n works perfectly fine. The associated sign-in and registration hooks
\n offer great flexibility for utilizing user data in custom coding.

This plugin is deprecated. Please use RDP Linkedin Login.

RDP inGroups+ provides:

Login button shortcode – shows a Sign in with LinkedIn button when logged out
Member Count shortcode, with the ability to designate a link URL
Ability to register a visitor with the WordPress installaton
Logged-in session security using nonces and client IP address
OOP with hooks and filters for easy integration and customization
Ability to add a list of company IDs that a registered user will automatically follow

Warning About Caching

This plug-in will not work if caching is enabled on a web site.

Sponsor

This plug-in brought to you through the generous funding of Laboratory Informatics Institute, Inc.

Usage

LinkedIn Group Discussions

RDP inGroups+ is implemented using the shortcode [rdp-ingroups-group]. It accepts the following arguments:

id: (required) a group ID

Examples:

[rdp-ingroups-group id=2069898]

This will display discussions of the designated group to site visitors. The shortcode will display a Sign in with LinkedIn button if the user is not logged in.

LinkedIn Group Member Count

For a display of a group’s member count, use the [rdp-ingroups-member-count] shortcode. It accepts the following arguments:

id: (required) a group ID
link: a url to make the member count a hyperlink
new: make the link open in a new tab
prepend: text to add to the front of the member count
append: text to add to the end of the member count

Examples:

[rdp-ingroups-member-count id=209217]

[rdp-ingroups-member-count id=209217 link=http://example.com]

[rdp-ingroups-member-count id=209217 link=http://example.com new]

[rdp-ingroups-member-count id=209217 link=http://example.com new prepend=’Join our’ append=’TODAY!’]

LinkedIn Sign In Button

To display a Sign in with LinkedIn button, use the [rdp-ingroups-login] shortcode.

When the popup login window executes its close script, the cookie is read, and the parent window is redirected to the appropriate URL.

Code in custom sign-in JavaScript file

var $j=jQuery.noConflict();\n// Use jQuery via $j(...)\n\n$j(document).ready(rdp_sign_in_onLoad);\n\nfunction rdp_sign_in_onLoad(){\n    $j('#rdp-jb-main').on( \"click\", '.title.rdp_jb_must_sign_in' , function(event){\n        event.preventDefault();  \n        var redirectURL = $j(this).attr('href');\n        jQuery.cookie('rdp_lig_login_redirect', redirectURL, { path: '/' })\n    });\n}//rdp_sign_in_onLoad\n

So what does your plugin offer?

It’ll pull content from publicly viewable groups by scrapping LinkedIn, with the content in both HTML format for display on a page and RSS format for displaying a feed.

How do I access the RSS feed designed for Mailchimp newsletters?

Click on the RSS icon in the group header to open the standard RSS feed in a browser window. Now, modify the URL in the newly opened window by changing rss.php to rss_1.php.
