Title:
  Group_update doesn't create groups

Status in Mahara:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Mahara version 1.9.1:

  According to the doc:

  /**
   * Update details of an existing group.
   *
   * @param array $new New values for the group table.
   * @param bool  $create Create the group if it doesn't exist yet
   */
  function group_update($new, $create=false)

  the $create boolean determines if Mahra should create the group if the
  id provided doesn't match any other but everytime it doesnt find one,
  it directly throws the "group_update: group not found"

  I think it's because the following code:

  if (!empty($new->id)) {
          $old = get_record_select('group', 'id = ? AND deleted = 0', array($new->id));
      }
      else if (!empty($new->institution) && isset($new->shortname) && strlen($new->shortname)) {
          $old = get_record_select(
              'group',
              'shortname = ? AND institution = ? AND deleted = 0',
              array($new->shortname, $new->institution)
          );

          if (!$old && $create) {
              return group_create((array)$new);
          }
      }

      if (!$old) {
          throw new NotFoundException("group_update: group not found");
      }

  
  should look like this: 

  if (!empty($new->id)) {
          $old = get_record_select('group', 'id = ? AND deleted = 0', array($new->id));
      }
      else if (!empty($new->institution) && isset($new->shortname) && strlen($new->shortname)) {
          $old = get_record_select(
              'group',
              'shortname = ? AND institution = ? AND deleted = 0',
              array($new->shortname, $new->institution)
          );

      }

  if (!$old && $create) {
              return group_create((array)$new);
          }
      if (!$old) {
          throw new NotFoundException("group_update: group not found");
      }

  
  with the "if (!$old && $create)" conditional OUT of the previous one. I tried it and it works fine now.

  Also, I don't know if this is another bug or intentional but, when an
  id is provided, and create is "true", shouldn't it create it with the
  ID PROVIDED, instead of an arbitrary one? Because right now it gives
  you an arbitrary one (since that's what group_create() does).
