[Bug 1307247] Re: No notifications on pages/artefacts for groups/institutions
The existing feature that's closest to this is the "Shared page
notifications" feature for groups. That's a tickbox on the group
settings page, which determines whether or not (all) group members get a
notification when a page is shared with the group.
I think it would make the most sense if the config for shared page
notifications, and the config for feedback notifications, were the same.
So that either means:
1. We simply add a checkbox for feedback notifications, and if it's
ticked, all group members get a notification.
2. OR, we make it into a multi-select that lets you choose which roles
in the group get feedback notifications, and we change the shared page
notifications config to be the same sort of multi-select.
As noted in the instructions for the shared page notifications, the
notifications should be turned off by default, because if you have a
group with a lot of users in it then this will produce a lot of
notifications.

Title:
No notifications on pages/artefacts for groups/institutions
Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Currently if a user leaves feedback on a group or institution page /
artefact there is no notifications sent out to interested parties.
The problem exists in ActivityTypeArtefactCommentFeedback
(artefact/comment/lib.php) on approx line 1205 where if there is no
owner id it doesn't follow thru to the sending of notifications. This
needs to be changed so that groups/institutions also get
notifications.
Currently the notification is only designed to be sent to the first
user in an array of users (containing only one user, the owner of
page/artefact). This will need to change so that it can actually loop
through users if there is more than one to be notified for
groups/institutions.
The question is who are the users that need to receive the feedback
notification? Is it the group/institution admins? all members?
Institution staff (for institutions)? Only those users in
group/institution watching the page?
I'm not sure to whom we should restrict the comment notification
message - please feel free to add suggestions to this bug report.
