I have a piece of code to log user out from linkedin and its not working :(

any help will be greatly appreciated.

Logout code 

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.linkedin.com/in.js">
  api_key: mykey
  authorize: true
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">

try {
    IN.User.logout();
} catch (err) {
    console.log(err);
}
setTimeout("goToHome()", 10000);

function goToHome() {
    location.href="index.php";
}
</script>
</head>
</html>

console log 

TypeError
arguments: Array[2]
get message: function () { [native code] }
get stack: function () { [native code] }
set message: function () { [native code] }
set stack: function () { [native code] }
type: "non_object_property_call"
__proto__: Error

Best regards, Pawan

It looks like you are trying to call IN.User.logout() before the LinkedIn JavaScript platform has completely loaded. You should run the code only once you are sure the library is loaded, via either the onLoad value in the platform bootstrap section:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.linkedin.com/in.js">
  api_key: mykey
  authorize: true
  onLoad: onLoad
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
function onLoad() {
  try {
    IN.User.logout();
  } catch (err) {
    console.log(err);
  }
  setTimeout("goToHome()", 10000);
}

function goToHome() {
  location.href="index.php";
}
</script>

Alternatively, use one of the event callbacks:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.linkedin.com/in.js">
  api_key: mykey
  authorize: true
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
IN.Event.onOnce(IN, 'systemReady', function() {
  try {
    IN.User.logout();
  } catch (err) {
    console.log(err);
  }
  setTimeout("goToHome()", 10000);
});

function goToHome() {
  location.href="index.php";
}
</script>

  • I've tried the code and it seems to work - the error you are seeing is common to the LinkedIn JavaScript platform. – Unpossible Sep 20 '12 at 14:32
