Change default sharing copy for answered Q's

[maryamgunja]

When a question is answered change the sharing copy on FB/Twitter to reflect answer rather than to encourage signatures...

Current:

[davidmooreppf]

So in /questions/show, I see <%= twitter_question_share( in line 140, and the copy for email sharing subject in 152, but I don't know if I see the place to change it where Q status is answered. Little help @walter?

This functionality requires some additional logic added to it.

I'm planning on doing this today. Will close this when it is done and let you know when it is deployed.

We should probably go through each sharing piece of text.

Here's what we have now for mail:

https://github.com/opengovernment/askthem/blob/master/app/helpers/questions_helper.rb#L44-L56

Here's what we have for Twitter:

https://github.com/opengovernment/askthem/blob/master/app/helpers/questions_helper.rb#L44-L56

(hopefully you can get the gist of the programming)

For Facebook and Google+, we can't do much unfortunately for long convoluted reasons.

@davidmooreppf & @maryamgunja this is now in place on the live site.

Note that FB & Google+ text is a bit different, but does indicate there is an answer rather than call for signatures.
