Hi Aaron,

We're upgrading a Mahara site from 1.10 to 15.10.

In 1.10, we are getting this:

Nov 10 12:25:28 TQIDEB001 mahara-site-acttqi: [Tue Nov 10 12:25:28 2015] [error] [client 203.29.131.142] [DBG] 43 (blocktype/lib.php:692) Artefact not found when rendering a block instance. There might be a bug with deleting artefacts of this type? Original error follows:, referer: https://uatmahara.tqi.act.edu.au/view/index.php
Nov 10 12:25:28 TQIDEB001 mahara-site-acttqi: [Tue Nov 10 12:25:28 2015] [error] [client 203.29.131.142] [DBG] 43 (blocktype/lib.php:693) Collection with id 1211 not found, referer: https://uatmahara.tqi.act.edu.au/view/index.php


The page was originally copied from institution pages/collection.

The institution pages and collection were then deleted.

I think that's probably when it started to happen but I'm not 100% sure.

I hope this helps.

Thanks,
Ghada

Title:
  Blocktype rendering error when artefact is not found

Bug description:
  Mahara 15.10:

  version = 2015092910 
  release = 15.10.0

  
  If an artefact is not found while rending a block instance, the try/catch catches the error - which is good.

  But, further down the page when it sets pieformcss => $css (on line
  916):

          return array('html' =>
  $smarty->fetch('view/blocktypecontainerediting.tpl'), 'javascript' =>
  $js, 'pieformcss' => $css);

  the variable $css has not been declared - giving this error:

  So, before calling the static methods (on lines 822+), we should instantiate the $css variable first.

  So when it does fail, $css has already been defined.
