I am working on a job site wordpress, I want to pull user linkedin profile details with image and appear that on site, when anonymous user submit linkedin public url in the wordpress registration form, their profile header content should fetch on the site.

This should work for anonymous user, every time new user put his linked-in profile URL, so this should not use that only for single user.

hope you get what I need. please help if somebody have such function in php for wordpress site.

waiting……….

thanks

Zend Framework (Zend_Http & Zend_Cache) ^^!

And… a few small suggestions:

* is_file instead file_exists: No warnings and not @ supress errors operator.
* strtotime(‘text’) instead calculate hours: More intuitive.
* register_shutdown_function for caching new content, after
the first petition and the file creation if not exists: No delay, no http errors for dump the file content.

I used this at betools.culturadigital.org ;)

Nice function.
I’ll be looking to build something similar, but with images created dynamically… Check if image exist and check if image is “recent”… else regenerate the image.

I allready did something similar with an XML generator, so users cannot spam the website to generate a new XML every time.

Caching is something useful when controlled… but can be a pain when you don’t know stuff is cached (ka-Map comes to mind…)!

I must say that i like this blog very much. I’m pretty interested in mootools because i’m in the process of creating javascript UIs. This tutorial is also very nice. It’s a good habit to cache whatever is possible.

Basic caching like this is really useful when dealing with APIs, but I wish WordPress would add some centralized caching functions. It would make things neater than dumping data into assorted wp_options fields…

@herve + michael: Simply put, this approach allows the developer to cache without having to set the environment up to use memcache or pear cache lite….

Hi,
ever thought about memcached? Its a nice daemon, which can store such things in memcache, its very easy to usw and very efficient. Many big sites use it, facebook has about 800 Memcached-Servers.

Why don’t you simply use something simple like pear cache lite ?
