Facebook Javascript Share UI include get variables in link

Question

I am using the facebook SDK to share a page link:

FB.ui({
        method: 'feed',
        link:  'http://freebirdevents.co.uk/test_results/?individual_result=1162',
        caption:$(this).data('message'),
}, function(response){});

However it is ignoring get parameter, I've tried URL encoding to no avail.

Answer 1

However it is ignoring get parameter

That's because you are telling it to :

<link rel="canonical" href="http://freebirdevents.co.uk/test_results/" />

You specified here that the real URL for this piece of content is http://freebirdevents.co.uk/test_results/ . Facebook follows that, and goes on to request that URL to get the relevant meta data from.

If you don't want that – then don't specify this as the canonical URL of the document.
