Take the tour ×  I am trying to implement something similar to
the share feature on Dropbox that allows you to send an invite
to Facebook friends.   You will need to log in/ create an
account and have a shared folder to see it.  The feature only
ever shows one Facebook dialogue which is to give it's app
permissions - I don't know how it even manages to send a private
message - from the research I've done this isn't even possible,
and secondally, I don't know how it manages to achieve it
without using a Facebook dialogue - it uses it's own modal box.
So far I have managed to pull a list of Facebook friends into a
jquery ui autocomplete but don't know how to now send the
private message to the selected friend now that I have their id.
The only way I could think of how to do this was to send the
user an email at id@facebook.com but don't know how you attach
the image, description, link etc like you do to a normal
wall/timeline post.  I was hoping some of the Facebook experts
here could offer their thoughts and
