Request (invite facebook) on each page with its respective url was created by govpra

Hi,

www.itechdude.com/

On this page we implemented Invite Friend request from JFB Connect
but as it has single page option, we need to customize it for everypage automcatically with its current URL

So suppose if user goes to another page, and click on invite friend user get another url for invite and clicking it will send invite for that page, so when user click on the notification lead him to that page

Do let me know how we can do that

I guess I solved the problem by myself

com_jfbconnect/libraries/provider/facebook/widget/request.php
line number 45

$doc = JFactory::getDocument();
                $page_title = substr($doc->getTitle(), 0, 50); 
                $meta_description = $doc->getMetaData("description"); 
                $cur_url=JFactory::getURI()->toString();
                $tagString .=
                    <<<EOT
                        <script type="text/javascript">
    var jfbcRequests = Object.prototype.toString.call(jfbcRequests) == "[object Array]" ? jfbcRequests : [];
    var jfbcRequest = new Object;
    jfbcRequest.title = "{$page_title}";
    jfbcRequest.message = "{$meta_description}";
    jfbcRequest.destinationUrl = "{$cur_url}";
    jfbcRequest.thanksUrl = "{$cur_url}";
    jfbcRequests[{$requestID}] = jfbcRequest;
</script>
EOT;

Just had a doubt which
jfbcRequests[{$requestID}] = jfbcRequest;
what to do with this, bcoz request id shall be unique right?

I have done this

$requestmd5= hexdec (md5($cur_url));

and replaced request id with that,
but destination remains homepage only,

Thanks

Sorry for the delayed response. JFBConnect doesn't support custom destinations for the same request. If you wanted to have a new Request button on many pages, you'd need to create each of those Requests in the JFBConnect admin area and use the correct request ID in the module.

We investigated adding custom destinations as they are sent so you can do what you're looking for. It would take a database change to store the custom destination each time a request is sent as right now, we only store the destination in the Request's configuration in the admin area and use that for each time the request is sent.

We didn't pursue doing that much further as Facebook degraded the Request experience quite a bit overtime. First, they removed it from showing up in the jewel notification area in the top header bar of Facebook. Instead, now they show up in the App Center area, which not as many people view. Additionally, they only allow Requests from Facebook Applications categorized as 'Games'.

In general, we still support the Requests feature we have, but don't plan to develop it much further as it's not widely used due to the limitations above.
