Bug is detected with social sharing buttons

I've seen articles plugin is using personal table on data base for comments.
When you have facebook and twitter for sharing on article generated bad url to share.
Then fails with lack of arguments

/post/facebook/?id=

and expected (get from discussions)
/post/facebook/comment?id=42

I don't think that is the core failure.
And I don't understand why articles comments are not stored in the same core vanilla table.

    Those social sharing buttons are meant for Vanilla discussions. There was a bug where those icons would show up on article comments because it used the same event name for the output. This has been fixed in the development version of Articles, but there currently is no Facebook or Twitter sharing buttons for article comments.

    Check out the link to the GitHub repo that @hgtonight posted above. You can just make the change to stop the Vanilla social sharing buttons from showing up.

    You can also give the development version a try and see how it goes. The current development changes won't crash your website, so you can put back the stable release at any time. I've been testing the current development changes and, so far, found a couple bugs with the body text box formatting after disabling the Button Bar plugin and switching to the new Advanced Editor plugin in Vanilla 2.2 beta 1 in the compose form.

    Please pardon me for the delay of the next release. I've been busy with a lot of other work lately. I'll try to work on some bug fixes and get an updated release when I can.

    I understand, thank you for everything.

    It would be nice for next articles release have option to select similar articles on the article bottom (on case that does not found on this category random 3-5 articles like links). What do you thinking about ?

    Greetings.

    Nice idea, @steam. I'm thinking of a section under an article that says something like "Similar Articles," which would show 3-5 links of articles from the same category. If not enough articles exist in the category, then it would load up articles from other categories and would say something like "Other Articles." Would the list of articles be totally random, or the latest articles (excluding the current article) in random order?

    I would say for both cases same message - "You may be interested in" and show random articles with this category preference (excluding the current article) without complications.
    And if we don't have any articles do not show the section.

    Without random select mysql performance:
    ORDER BY RAND() with LIMIT

    Or do thinking on performance:

    the first one count the number of rows in articles table
    then generate a random number between 0 and this count
    then the second query get this rows only
    

    You know there are many ways performance random select ...

    The simpler process will be less maintenance and fewer errors.

    @steam, thank you for the idea. :) I added the similar/random articles list feature on the to-do list in the issue tracker on the GitHub repo and will see about adding it in later.
