Topic-icon Invite a your friends (Requests to a dynamic page)

I've created a request button, in the settings it asked me for destination url, now in this field i want the destination url to be populated automatically, as the the user will invite his friends to see his submitted article, how is this possible? (Fixed destination would not work because each user will have a different url for his own submissions)

Further to the above, as per documentation, "Facebook will not pass some user-identifying information about who is accepting the request without an SSL certificate on your site. You can use the Requests feature without SSL, but requests may not be marked as "Read" properly when a user accepts them."

I dont have SSL on my site, and i dont want to track the requests. When a request is sent, the notification reaches the users friend, but on clicking a Site warning page appears "Connection is untrusted" Screen shot attached for reference.

can you please guide me on how to implement without SSL.

This is likely because you have a "Secure Canvas URL" and "Canvas URL" set in your Facebook application. When those are set, Facebook will try to send request accepts to your Facebook Canvas page and not to your actual site.

Dynamic Requests
Right now, we don't have a way to create dynamic requests. It's something we have on our to-do list to investigate further and implement in a future release, but I don't have a timeline on when that would be implemented. To do it would require additional columns in the database table, extra Javascript to fetch and store where the request should go and other additional logic along the way. It's not impossible, but more than just a line of code we can quickly provide to you here. Sorry to give you news that I know you're not looking to hear.

I hope that helps explain, but if you need anything else, just let us know.

Thanks,
Alex

Thanks Alex, for your update,
will eagerly look forward for dynamic requests, as user blogs (Easyblog) can have their individual invites.

Will delete the "Secure Canvas URL" and "Canvas URL" in FB developer and check for the other issue.
