LinkedIn not connecting like other medias

[jonathanwmo]

When I try to open LinkedIn on my local:8000 server an error occurs, however on the other social medias they all work?
Is this a known issue?

Looks like linkedin tries to fetch URLs, and it can't fetch local. You can use ngrok to temporarily open a tunnel and expose your server to the public internet.

Basically, you will launch ngrok http 8000, then visit your project at the url that ngrok assigned to you (http://<something>.ngrok.io).

I also have same issue. Tried with ngrok. But same issue

@sharon-samson did you set the domain of your Site instance to the hostname ngrok provided you?

http://cde554b2ced6.ngrok.io/
this is the link they provided when i run ./ngrok http 7000
i used this one

Looks like Linkedin changed the way they share URLs. I'll update the template tag and release a new version.

@sharon-samson I've relase v2.0.0 with a new template for LinkedIn. It looks like LinkedIn now only supports a button via JS, with no possibility to customize the appearance.

@Mgeethabhargava Could you expand on how it's not working? What error are you getting?

If you have time to work on a Pull Request, I'll be happy to review it :)

Hi, I'm having a problem related to linkedin sharing only and it's about arguments. I'm just copy pasting the examples from the docs and when using the linkedin example with my object I'm getting the following:

Request Method: | GET
url: http://392a6a461628.ngrok.io/es/
Django Version: 2.2.12
Exception Type: ValueError
Exception Value: not enough values to unpack (expected 2, got 1)
Exception Location: /Volumes/Archivos/work/i4b/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django_social_share/templatetags/social_share.py in linkedin_locale, line 149

The error is during template rendering:

In template /Volumes/Archivos/work/i4b/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django_social_share/templates/django_social_share/templatetags/post_to_linkedin.html, error at line 2

And is remarking with red the following part of the code:

{{ LANGUAGE_CODE|linkedin_locale }}

I'm using this code on my template:

{% post_to_linkedin project %}

Does anyone had the same problem and know the answer or it?

Thank you.

@goromachine what's the value of {{ LANGUAGE_CODE }} in your case?

[goromachine]

I'm using internationalization and I'm using the following languages. None of them seems to be working.

LANGUAGES | (('en', 'English'), ('es', 'Spanish'))

[fcurella]

@goromachine I've released a new that should fix your issue. Could you give it a try?

[goromachine]

Thank you! that seems to fix the problem I had.
When using ngrook the share works fine. I'll try it on AWS and if anything is wrong I will open a new issue. Now everything works fine.
