Name or email not showing, in UI. about meteor-accounts-linkedin

[MatasJonys]

Could you collaborate how you setup your permissions?
Do you request for 'r_basicprofile' permissions on login?

#15 might help you.

I have similar issue. I am requesting r_basicprofile and the information is received by Meteor. When I check Meteor.user(), the name and email properties are filled. But nothing appears in the UI, it seems the accounts-ui is not getting the name or email from linkedin. It works well using Google.

Any thoughts?

I had the same problem, the thing is in the user object there are _firstName _and _lastName _fields but NOT a name field and this is the one used with the login buttons. I tried assigning that field upon registration but I'm still a newbie at Meteor so couldn't do it and switched to this package:

If someone figures a way to do it though please share how.

@nvtdev same issue am just tried a hack! but works :

Meteor.startup(function () {
    Accounts.onCreateUser(function ( options, user ){
        if ( options.profile ) {
            user.profile = options.profile;
            if ( options.profile.numConnections ) {
                user.profile.name = options.profile.firstName + " " + options.profile.lastName
            }
        }
        return user
    })
});
