LG Social Bookmarks and LinkedIn {weblog_title} tag

Development and Programming

Hello,

When I share a link through the LG Social Bookmarks extension on LinkedIn, the tag {weblog_title} is getting passed through to LinkedIn instead of the name of the website. Is there something I am missing here? How would I go about assigning this?

Thanks.

I ran across this problem as well and did a little digging in lib.lg_social_bookmark_sites.php for the LinkedIn item and found this:

'LinkedIn' => array(
        'favicon' => 'linkedin.png',
        'url' => 'http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url={permalink}&title={title}&source={weblog_title}&summary=EXCERPT',
    ),

If I remove “source={weblog_title}&summary=EXCERPT’,” would this cause any problems with the functionality of the social link? Would it be possible to hard code the weblog title into the file until a proper fix can be tested and released.

update: It appears to be a problem with the .php file. There is no {weblog_title} tag but replacing this with {blog_title} fixes the problem.

Excellent, thanks, worked for me!
