I'm trying to set up an action link to post to facebook but I'm a bit confused with respect to how do I set up the action on facebook and how do I get koala to post an action link.

Basically I want to post an action link which says:

<name of user> is looking for a travelbuddy

<custom message>

<photo of car> <link to car profile with car title as title>
 

I'm not sure what should I set up as the action and object here on facebook action links - although I have set up looking as an action and travelbuddy as the object however I am posting details of a vehicle and a link to a profile. Just that its not working right.

Here is my Koala code:

def post_to_facebook

client = Koala::Facebook::API.new(current_user.access_token)
car = Car.find(params[:id])
logger.debug "put_connections(#{url_for car_url(home)}), start"
options = {
  :title => home.title,#params[:facebook_post][:title],
  :description => params[:facebook_post][:details] ,
  :link => car_url(home)#,#params[:facebook_post][:url],
}

if params[:facebook_post][:no_picture] == 'true' then
  options[:image] = params[:facebook_post][:image]
end

respond_to do |format|
  if client.put_connections(current_user.uid, 'carhq:looking_for', :travelbuddy => car_url(car))
    format.json { render json: @home, status: :created }
    logger.debug "put_connections(), end"
  else
    logger.debug "put_connections(), end"
    format.json { render json: @home.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
  end
end
end
 

I could post a wallpost with this quite easily but can't do the action link. carhq is my application and looking_for is the action I made. Am I going on this right? PLease do help.
