Comment Social Reactions Error

[austins]

When clicking on a Twitter social reaction link under comments, a page saying "Whoops! I don't know what a is" is displayed.

After looking into this issue, here's what I found:

• The Twitter/Facebook sharing icon that shows up below an article comment comes from the Twitter plugin and Facebook plugin that comes with Vanilla. These plugins can be enabled from the "Social" dashboard settings page below the "Forum" section, as these plugins require the Vanilla app to be enabled.
• I only looked into the Twitter plugin, but I guess the Facebook plugin works similarly. The Twitter plugin has a method in class.twitter.plugin.php declared with PostController_Twitter_Create($Sender, $RecordType, $ID) that makes a call to a function with GetRecord($RecordType, $ID).
• The GetRecord() function is defined in functions.general.php and only supports the discussion and comment types, which are from the Vanilla app. There isn't a way to add support for the article and articlecomment types without overriding the function.
• The Twitter and Facebook plugins should be modified to only target Vanilla controllers instead because they only support Vanilla discussions and comments.

Finally, I can't provide support for the official Twitter and Facebook plugins that come with Vanilla since they are designed for Vanilla discussions and comments.

I'll rename the event where the social reaction icons show up under the comment to something else.
