Sorry for the cumbersome title.

I have a Facebook canvas app that is call up a Wordpress site in an iFrame. This is fine and works as hoped but is there a way to link directly to a page within it?

For example the page I want to reach is actually: www.blog.com/monkeys/

But I want to be able to use a link like this: www.facebook.com/monkeyblogapp/app_243495067635997/monkeys/

So that I can give out that URL and get people to see the right bit of content but within the Facebook environment.

I have seen people mention callback urls (like this one which as far as I can tell just means having the app addresses match the website Direct links to pages in Facebook iFrame application?) but that doesn't work.

Any suggestions?

many thanks

James
