Downgrading the severity on this one from "High" to "Medium", because
the artefact owner still has to make their page public and allow
comments.

Bug description:
  Anonymous comments function is enabled on artefact page of public share page  that disallow anonymous comments. 
   
  Here's how to replicate the specific bug: 
   
  0. Clean install of Mahara
  1. Log in as admin
  2. Got to Administration -> Configure site -> Ste options -> User Settings
  3. Set [Anonymous comments] OFF
  4. Go to Portfolio -> Create a new Page -> Store a picture on this page.
  5. Edit this new page access -> Enable [Share with public] and [Allow comments].
  6. Log out.
  7. Open this page as guest role. 
  8. Click one picture of this page.
  9.  [Anonymous comments] function is enabled on artefact page. 
   
  I  found the cause of this bug. 
   
  In /artefact/artefact.php, Line 149
  ==================================================
  if ($artefact->get('allowcomments'))
      $addfeedbackform = pieform(ArtefactTypeComment::add_comment_form(false, $artefact->get('approvecomments')));
      $extrastylesheets[] = 'style/jquery.rating.css';
      $javascript[] = 'jquery.rating';
  }
  ==================================================================
   

  I suggest          
    
  if ($artefact->get('allowcomments'))
   
  change to:

  if ($artefact->get('allowcomments') && ( $USER->is_logged_in() ||
  (!$USER->is_logged_in() && get_config('anonymouscomments')))) {
