Customizing add your certificate to your LinkedIn profile

Enable LinkedIn share button

To enable the share with LinkedIn button in the certificate:

In Django Admin > Student > linked in add to profile configurations, add a linked in add to profile configuration.

To find out the LinkedIn 8-digit company ID, make a full search of employees or jobs, or use the sales navigator and find it in the URL.

Then add a LinkedInAddToProfileConfiguration in Django admin > Student with the ID and enable it.

Optional - customize the display name

By default, the display name will have the following format:

'{platform_name} <mode> Certificate for {course_name}'

If the mode is not one of honor, verified, professional or no-id-professional the format for the display name will be '{platform_name} Certificate for {course_name}'

To override this value, set SOCIAL_SHARING_SETTINGS in the site configuration, or in the global settings with a dict like this:

"SOCIAL_SHARING_SETTINGS": {
  "CERTIFICATE_LINKEDIN_MODE_TO_CERT_NAME": {
    "<mode>": "<format string>"
  }
}

The format string can include {platform_name} and/or {course_name} variables.

E.g.:

    "SOCIAL_SHARING_SETTINGS": {
        "CERTIFICATE_LINKEDIN_MODE_TO_CERT_NAME": {
            "honor": "{course_name}"
        }
    }
