LinkedInImpl does not seem to return email address of the user

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Is there a way to get the email address of the user on linkedin? The 
LinkedInImpl does not seem to return back the email address of the user.

I have configured socialauth for facebook and linkedin. Facebook is returning 
me the email address while linkedin is returning me the first name and other 
things also(I suppose) but not the email address of the user.

If there is no option to get the email address using current implementation. 
What all things need to be done to configure a custom linkedInImpl in place of 
socialauth's LinkedInImpl?

Linked in is now providing email address but you have to pass the email scope 
for this while fetching request token.
We have implemented this feature and going to release a latest version in next 
week.

Thats nice to hear that :) I spent lot of my time configuring my own 
linkedinImpl implementation with the socialauth library. Just curious to know 
if we can integrate our custom authProvider Impl with the socialauth library to 
work on any provider ID?

Thanks for pushing this out in the next release. will wait for it eagerly!

Hi

Yes you can add your custom provider with socialauth.

you have to make entry in oauth_consumer.properties file of your custom 
provider.

e.g 'myprovider' is your provider id and 
'org.brickred.socialauth.provider.GoogleImpl' is your provider implementation. 
provider id should be prefixed here with 'socialauth.'

So you have to make the following entry in oauth_consumer.properties file.

socialauth.myprovider = org.brickred.socialauth.provider.GoogleImpl
myprovider.consumer_key = XXXX
myprovider.consumer_secret = XXXXX

New jar is released which has feature to get user email from Linkedin. You have 
to register new keys on linkedin for getting email.
