This is two separate issues.

The first issue, regarding the view update date, is quite complex.
Currently it displays the last time the view's title, description,
layout, etc was changed, but not the last time that the most recent
block was changed. Essentially what you're asking for is to see the last
modified time of the most recently modified block on the view if this
was more recent than the last time the view itself was modified.

This has a major caveat which we cannot cover, and that is that views
that include external embedded content, such as RSS feeds, External
media, and google apps items will update and these updates cannot be
reflected in the date. So chances are that this could be much more
misleading if it is a collaborative project and relying on services like
google docs or glogster.com where the content editing happens somewhere
completely out of mahara's control.

Unfortunately, this is not a suitable change for a point-release (as per
our point release policy
https://wiki.mahara.org/index.php/Developer_Area/Release_Policy#Point_Release
) so if we do change it, it will be in 1.5.0 at the earliest.

I've opened bug #906646 for the separate feedback update date issue.

Title:
  Modification dates on shared pages not updating

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When a shared page is modified the date and time listed by the shared
  page is not being updated. The comments date and time when created,
  updates but does not update when the comment is edited.

  The shared page states
  'This page lists the most recently modified or commented on pages that have been shared with you.'
  This is misleading. I was thinking the lecturers would be able to see all of the recent activity on their students pages, so they have a better way of providing feedback to the students.

  The date and time of last modification is correct when the page is
  first shared with another user, but it does not update when any
  modifications or edits to a comment are made.

  Mahara version 1.4.1
  PHP version 5.3.8
  psql (PostgreSQL) 8.4.1

  I have attached a screenshot of an example in a word document along
  with the time and date it was meant to update to assist.
