Is there an error in a code example of how to append sharing content?

Courses Plus Student 4,375 PointsI see this is an old question, but this small error still exists in the project files.
Please see 6:59 in the video.
$social_content is the variable with the content to add, but $new_content is used, which isn't defined.

Treehouse Guest TeacherHi, I don't think so, are you noticing an error?

8,061 PointsThere's no error, but once you add a plugin header and activate the code on WP 4.2.2, the plugin has no effect until you match up the variable names:
$social_content = 'Insert in the social sharing code here';
$content .= $social_content;

22,911 PointsJust seen this, totally agree - this is an error surely? Concatenating $content with an empty $new_content would do nothing, and $social_content is left alone.
I'm assuming this is a couple of years old now, but this should be fixed, even just in the project download files with a quick note commented out in the PHP.
