Some updates on this. Robert's supplied patch changes the collation type
of some columns to binary. We'd need to do this in on installation as
well (which wouldn't be too hard, just toss it in the post-install
function).

We were discussing at a meeting recently whether it might be a good idea
to just set the default collation for the whole database, to binary.
Apparently there is at least one of our clients who has done this with a
production Mahara instance, and it has worked out fine for them as far
as we know.

If we did decide to do that, we could make it be part of the
installation sanity check. That way, people setting up new databases
would be prompted to set the collation correctly, while people in
existing Mahara databases would not find their site suddenly complaining
about it.

Title:
  Duplicate tags in page creation gives error message

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Has anyone noticed, when creating a page, that if you put a tag in
  twice, the page will be created but you get an error message?  I've
  tested this on two accounts and it's consistent - I've been able to
  test it on our own site and on a free host.

  The error message is:  Site unavailable

  A nonrecoverable error occured. This probably means you have
  encountered a bug in the system

  For example, if you create a page, and put the tags university and
  University, the error is given.

  Our version of Mahara is 1.7.0 but I'm not sure what the free host has
  (it has all the same functions as our own).

  Firefox 23 and IE 9
