## Beschrijving

So, you’ve got your own WordPress site, and you’re freelancing. You’re maintaining
a LinkedIn® profile because you have to, and you need to display your resume on 
your own site too. Wouldn’t it be cool if you just maintain your resume at LinkedIn
® and place a copy of that data on your own site and updating it would require just
about pressing a button?
 The resume page markup must, of course, match the layout
of your site. Look no further, this plugin is all you need. And more.

LiPS creates a local copy of your LinkedIn® Profile, using the LinkedIn® REST API
to get the data. There’s no page-parsing or screen-scraping, it’s just your data,
structured in a way it allows for automatic processing using a template.
 The REST
API uses OAuth, so it does not need to know your LinkedIn® username and password.
It uses a token which is granted access to your data. Revoking access is easy too,
in fact, it’s done automatically. There’s a drawback, and that’s the user needing
a LinkedIn Developer account.

The tool processes the profile data and creates a page, using the Smarty templating
engine. Smarty is included in the distribution, as are two minimal templates. You
can choose which page to use and which template to use. In fact, you can even create
your own template. Learn how through the Donate link.

There is one more important feature. LiPS can also create posts for each position
in your profile, allowing you to add more detail, such as (ex) coworkers adding 
their appreciation in working with you through the comments system build into WordPress
™. Posts maintained by this tool are filtered from your “normal” blog stream, but
you can link to them from any other page. You can use
 a different template for 
the post content too.

Really impress an employer or client? Add your StackExchange reputation from one
of their major sites to your resume. Just select the site you registered on and 
enter your login or account id. Your account details will be automatically included
when you update your profile page.

One more thing that needs to be clear. You’re using this tool at your own risk. 
I’m not responsible for any type of damages caused by this tool.

### Arbitrary section

= Things to do =
 * it’s probably a good idea to encrypt the OAuth authenticated
tokens with some form of a password, because anybody with access to the MySQL database
will have access to port of the authentication details. * verify whatever a template
generates -> the page template must start with a <h1> or <div>, same for a post.*
allow a user to remove languages, thus shortening the language list. * optimize 
the jQuery code. It’s a bit bloated and contains different styles at once. * …

## Installatie

This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.

 1. Upload `lips` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Open the WordPress Dashboard, click Tools and LinkedIn® Profile Sync.

## FAQ

  What’s with these pop-ups?

These are there due to my understanding of the LinkedIn® terms of service. LinkedIn
Corporation wants the user to have some way of verifying where the data is from.

  Why do I need to authorize the plugin every time I want to fetch my profile?

This makes sure nothing unexpected happens to your LinkedIn profile, even when the
the plugin just requests read only access.

  Why does this plugin require full member access?

LiPS needs access to experience, education, skills and recommendations. These sections
are not available when the r_basicprofile permission is used.
