    <p>I have working code for pulling my connections info from Linkedin. However, whenever I try to pull location I get strange results.</p> <p>This code works but you will see 'object OBJECT' where location is supposed to be.</p> <pre><code>&lt;html lang="en"&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;title&gt;LinkedIn Industries&lt;/title&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.linkedin.com/in.js"&gt; api_key: xxxxxxx onLoad: onLinkedInLoad scope: r_network,r_emailaddress,r_fullprofile,r_basicprofile,r_contactinfo &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;p&gt;This example demonstrates how to retrieve a user's connections. It also uses the LinkedIn auth events (load, login, logout) to control behavior.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;!-- NOTE: be sure to set onLoad: onLinkedInLoad --&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; function onLinkedInLoad() { IN.Event.on(IN, "auth", function() {onLinkedInLogin();}); IN.Event.on(IN, "logout", function() {onLinkedInLogout();}); } function onLinkedInLogout() { setConnections({}, {total:0}); } function onLinkedInLogin() { // here, we pass the fields as individual string parameters IN.API.Connections("me") .fields("id", "firstName", "lastName", "pictureUrl", "publicProfileUrl","location:(name)") .result(function(result, metadata) { setConnections(result.values, metadata); }); } function setConnections(connections) { var connHTML = "&lt;ul&gt;"; for (id in connections) { connHTML = connHTML + "&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=\"" + connections[id].publicProfileURL + "\"&gt;"; /* picture url not always there, must be defensive */ if (connections[id].hasOwnProperty('pictureUrl')) { connHTML = connHTML + "&lt;img align=\"baseline\" src=\"" + connections[id].pictureUrl + "\"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;"; } else { connHTML = connHTML + "&lt;img align=\"baseline\" src=\"http://static02.linkedin.com/scds/common/u/img/icon/icon_no_photo_80x80.png\"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;"; } connHTML = connHTML + "&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=\"" + connections[id].publicProfileUrl + "\"&gt;"; connHTML = connHTML + connections[id].firstName + " " + connections[id].lastName + "&lt;/a&gt;"; connHTML = connHTML + " (Location: " + connections[id].location + ")&lt;/li&gt;"; } connHTML = connHTML + "&lt;/ul&gt;"; document.getElementById("connectionsdata").innerHTML = connHTML; } &lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="IN/Login"&gt; &lt;div id="connectionstest"&gt; &lt;p&gt;Current User's Connections:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div id="connectionsdata"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>The main issue really exists in location, in the documentaion this should be replaced with location.name, however, whenever I do this I get nothing back, although I can see that there is a XHR response with a json, which has:</p> <p>location:{"name":"Dublin etc"}</p> <p>Please help solve the mystery of the hidden location</p> <p>EDIT: 5/23/2013- In Chrome's Developer tools I can see a message saying (Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read propertry 'name' of undefined - hopes this help someone help me</p> <p>When I look in the console of the chrome developer, there is more detail on the above uncaught type error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'name' of undefined linkedconnect.html:55</p> <p>setConnections linkedconnect.html:55</p> <p>(anonymous function) linkedconnect.html:36 Sslac.Class.Constructor.Method.Method.Method.Method.Method.Method.Method.Method.Method.Method.Method.Method.Method.Method.Method.Method.Method.b framework:3242</p> <p>(anonymous function) framework:173</p> <p>Sslac.Class.Constructor.Method.Method.Method.Method.Method.Method.Method.Method.Method.Method.Method.Method.Method.Method.Method.Method.Method.Method.Method.storedFailureResults framework:3247</p> <p>(anonymous function) framework:173</p> <p>g framework:3135</p> <p>pub.incoming framework:801</p> <p>_window_onMessage framework:566</p>

    3. COWhat exactly doesn't work? Does it give you an error, does print an unexpected value? Does it not make you coffee? What does the console say? You can open the console in FireFox and Chrome by pressing F12. You can console.log every connections[id] and click on them in the console to inspect it's properties.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
