Kristina: The "Objectionable content in forum" type is a new
notification type; Robert, Aaron and Kristina discussed that we leave
that at the core default value instead of changing it to the default
notification value that came across through the upgrade for the moment
because it is more difficult to implement and many site admins may leave
the default value on. The settings also only affects administrators and
it can be changed afterwards / in the database. If needed, a patch could
be made for a future release of Mahara.

Title:
  Default notification setting not kept from Mahara 1.9 to 1.10

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  1.10RC1

  When you upgrade a pre 1.10 site to 1.10, the default notification
  types are all set to "Email" even though you might have set them to
  something else in the previously one line setting "Default
  notification method" in Site options -> Email settings.

  I think this needs to be fixed because site admins expect that the
  default notification method stays to what they have set it. They can
  be more granular in Mahara 1.10, but their previous default should
  make it over.

  To test:

  1. On Mahara 1.9 change the "Default notification method" to "Email digest" in Admin -> Config site -> Site options -> Email settings.
  2. Create a user and check that the notification settings for all notification types are set to "Email digest".
  3. Change one of the notification types to "Inbox" and one to "Email".
  4. Upgrade the site and check that Admin -> Config site -> Site options -> Notification settings are all set to "Email digest".
  5. Create a new user and log in as that user to check that all notification types are set to "Email digest".
  6. Log in as the user created in step 2 and check that all notification types are still set to what that user had before the upgrade.
