With regret, I am no longer able to support the LinkedIn Company Updates Joomla module. Originally published in March 2016, the version 1.0 of the LinkedIn API that it was built upon has been deprecated. In order to use version 2.0, and specifically to use the r_organization_social permission, I had to submit an application to access LinkedIn’s Marketing Developer Program. Today, I learned that my application was declined. LinkedIn does not provide additional information other than:
“We are unable to grant your app access to the Marketing Developer Platform at this time.”
I am saddened by this news. The LinkedIn Company Updates module had a good, 3-year run, with 12 version releases and over 200 downloads during that time.
