LinkedIn Recommend Button for Joomla

The LinkedIn Recommend button enables users to recommend products and services to other LinkedIn users.

How to Add a LinkedIn Recommend button to Joomla

JLinked gives you 2 easy methods to add LinkedIn recommend button to your Joomla site: either through the JLinkedRecommend module or the JLinkedRecommend easy-tag, as described below.

JLinkedRecommend Module

The JLinkedRecommend module, included with JLinked, is an easy way to use the Joomla administrator interface to add the LinkedIn recommend button to your whole site, or any section or page within your site. Since it's a standard Joomla module, all the available parameters for the LinkedIn recommend are easily accessible, such as the layout (horizontal, vertical, or without a recommend count), and company/product information.

As with any Joomla module, you can set the JLinkedRecommend module to show in any template position, on any specific (or all) menu items of your site, and whether guest, registered, or special users can view it.

JLinkedRecommend Easy-Tag

With the JLinked easy-tags, it's very easy to add LinkedIn recommend buttons to any Joomla article, custom HTML module, template or other area of your site. This is great for when a module just won't work, or you want even more customization for the recommendations widget. To use the easy-tag, simply include any of the following snippets into your site's content, and JLinked will take care of the rest:

{JLinkedRecommend}

{JLinkedRecommend companyid=365848 productid=201714 counter=right}

The last tag above is what's used, in this Joomla article, to insert the LinkedIn Recommend button directly on this page!
