Publicize: LinkedIn: Support for Company Pages

[kraftbj]

Publicize currently only connects to your personal account; we should allow connections to Company Pages (http://marketing.linkedin.com/company-pages/) as well.

Ported from https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1727

Noting that is also tracked internally for our team as well. Not a current priority however.

Any progress on this? It's a shame that you can only post to personal accounts.

I don't think LinkedIn has developed any API allowing automatic posting to company pages yet, but when they do we'll be sure to consider adding the option to Publicize.

Hey @jeherve this has been available for a year or more now.

[jeherve]

Thanks for that, I didn't know about it. I'll let our team in charge of Publicize know.

The landscape for LinkedIn's API has changed a lot in the past 2 years, but sharing to a Company page is possible (and appears it will remain so for the foreseeable future). Here are direct links to some relevant sections in the (REST) API docs:

• List Companies
• Company Share

@jeherve any update on this?

[jeherve]

@oojacoboo I don't have any news yet, but we'll post here as soon as we start making progress on this.

Please add this feature asap. I am also a PHP developer but I never contributed to any project online. I am ready to help if anyone can guide me.

[aensley]

@divyadeepsawhney, you could do a pull request on the publicize module. Be sure to check out Jetpack's project-specific instructions too. I'd do it myself (as I badly need this feature as well), but I simply have no time right now.

@aensley It seems like a lot of the logic for sharing posts is within a web service call (https://public-api.wordpress.com/connect/?jetpack=publicize). I don't think adding the LinkedIn Company page logic to https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/tree/master/modules/publicize makes sense, unless I'm misunderstanding something?

[jkudish]

Correct, an addition like this would require an update on the WP.com side not only in Jetpack.

I would greatly appreciate this feature as well.

[JacobJWalker]

This feature would help our school tremendously! I hope it is added as soon as possible.
