If you really wanna do this then I guess you need to add the ..

rel="canonical"

before the href="siteURL" ..

Not sure you need to use data-href or href .. maybe try href first ..

Another thing .. if you wanna use it with Facebook then you need to use ..   og:url   ?

canonical is something for search engines and og:url is something Facebook uses ..

He's trying to use it for a custom Facebook button of some sort.

Assuming you are working from within the record view template, you would use:

$record->url()

to get the url object of the currently viewed database record(without any comment pagination or fragments present, so the canonical URL that is), used or cast as a string will return the URL itself.

Yes, this works

data-href="{$record->url()}"

 

How about forums?

that method is standardized. $topic->url(), $forum->url(), etc, any node that has a public url will have that method, as will any content item.

data-href="{$forum->url()}"
