Linkedin title / description doesnt work?

[luisfuertes]

I try to add title, description, summary, etc, but linkedint not show on share window. Only url. Any idea?

Example:

<LinkedinShareButton url={shareLink} title={'title demo'} description={'description demo'} summary={'summary demo'}>
          <LinkedinIcon size={32} round={true} />
        </LinkedinShareButton>

Version:
"react-share": "^2.3.0"

Image result:

Thanks!

Any update on this?

I have explored the code, LinkedinShareButton.js:8 This file expects url and description as object(hash) but how can someone send props as object(hash)?

Code preview from file:
function linkedinLink(url, { title, description }) {}

Isn't this should be:
function linkedinLink(url, title, description) {}

Bump. Is there a workaround to this?

@vsc-github Sadly, No, because LinkedIn has updated its Share API and this feature is removed. you can also see their Plugin generator page, it only has url field.

If you somehow force title into params(via query params), LinkedIn redirect on itself only with URL param.

@malikshahzad228 Yep, checked that. Looks like there's no way to do it.

@vsc-github One way is to use LinkedIn developer rest API. But for that you have to signup as LinkedIn partner program. Then you can generate LinkedIn developer app, and start using rest APIs.

When will @aautio's changes be merged and a new version published? Really would like this to work :)
