Hi Robert,

You are right about this workaround but still we have the problem every
time a new group is created which is not good. I dug the code a bit and
found out that the problem is related to the groupviews block from the
default group home page view not having the showsharedcollections config
in the configdata (I compared with a fresh install from master branch).

I searched in the tracker and found that you fixed a bug
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1491639) related indirectly to
this problem but it wasn't backported in 15.04 which which I'm wondering
why because there's a patch for it in the last comment.

My first plan was to backport this fix in 15.04 but reading the code, I
think it will have an unexpected side effect because it will change the
config of the groupviews from the default home page and all the others
to 2 (showbyanybody) when it should be 1 (showbygroupmembers) -> See the
default configs when installing from scratch in
install_system_grouphomepage_view function (lib/group.php).

What are your thoughts about this? I think there should be at least a
fix upgrade correcting the groupviews from default group because all the
Mahara installations pre 15.10 will have the wrong default config after
upgrade.

Thanks a lot for you help!

Title:
  Submitted collections in a group don't display for the admins

Status in Mahara:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi guys!

  I don't know if this is a regression from 1.10, but we found a major
  bug in our 15.04.5 Mahara. In short, when members in a group submit
  their collections, the admins of that group cannot see them. I
  attached a screenshot for you to see. I also tested in a vanilla
  15.04.5 installation in order to be sure and I was still able to
  reproduce the bug.

  So, here are the steps to make it happen:

  *This test requires you to have an evaluation group with at least one
  member, at least 1 collection.

  1. Go into the group as admin
  2. Submit a collection
  3. Check if the collection appears under the "Collections shared with this group" title
  4. Now, with a member of that same group, follow the same steps.

  Result: The collections are never listed under the "Collections shared
  with this group".

  
  As always, thanks for your help!

  Melvin
