I think recent journal entries displays the recent journal entries from
a journal to which you have access. Therefore, you should have access to
the full journal as you can only see so many items in the list before
they fall off.

Title:
  "Recent journal entries" block grants access to the entire journal

Status in Mahara:
  Incomplete
Status in Mahara 16.04 series:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  In the follow-up to bug 1521818 ("Tagged journal entries" block grants
  access to the entire journal) I noticed that the "Recent journal
  entries" block has the same behavior. That is, if you select a journal
  to display its recent entries in this block, people who can view the
  page will be able to view and navigate to all the journal entries in
  the journal, not just the ones that are displayed.

  To replicate:

  1. Create a journal with 10 entries
  2. Create a page with a "Recent journal entries" block
  3. Set the block to display the most recent 5 journal entries

  You will notice that you can navigate to a list of all the journal
  entries in the journal, by clicking on the journal's title in the
  rendered block. Or by navigating into the artefact detail page for one
  of the journal entries, and clicking on the journal title there.

  Now, this is kind of a gray area, because I'm not sure whether this is
  the correct behavior or not. On the one hand, you are selecting the
  journal as a whole, so perhaps it makes sense you'd be able to
  navigate through all of it. On the other hand, there may be an
  expectation by users that once a journal entry has "aged" off of the
  list, that it will no longer be accessible. Although I have a hard
  time imagining the use-case for that.

  What do you guys think?

  If we do want to change this behavior, it's a pretty easy fix, almost
  exactly the same as what we did for Bug 1521818: 1) alter the
  "get_artefacts" method of PluginBlocktypeTaggedposts; 2) remove the
  part from "recentposts.tpl" where it displays the link to the parent
  blog.
