Hi Mahara team, 
The commit has been created in Gerrit on its own branch for review:
https://reviews.mahara.org/#/c/9033/

Note:
If the Mac version of "xargs" is being run, this error will appear:
xargs: illegal option -- -

If "sed" on a mac is being run, this error will appear:
sed: illegal option -- r

Linux Sed and xargs are not the same as Mac ones... (silent moan into the void)
Commands for "sed" and "xargs" require that homebrew be installed and these commands be run:

brew install gnu-sed --with-default-names  (on a mac - sed is called
gsed, the --with-default-names option will make it run as "sed" as per
the makefile call)

brew install findutils --with-default-names (or brew reinstall findutils
--with-default-names) as the default xargs on a mac runs differently to
linux, and hombrew will install the "linux" version as gxargs - the
option --with-default-names will make it behave.

These little tips could be be added to the https://wiki.mahara.org/wiki/Developer_Area/Contributing_Code 
for those that code on mac.

Title:
  When pages are shared - users can delete blocks by accident

Status in Mahara:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Mahara 18.04.02
  DB: Mysql
  OS: Ubuntu
  Browser: Chrome

  A lot of users in Mahara create (Template) pages to share out to
  users. This reduces the setup a new user will have to do to. There is
  an issue that on their personal copy, the blocks that were so
  carefully setup can be deleted.

  This patch creates a new column in the database called "lockblocks"
  that can be enabled/disabled on the share page.

  When the user copies the page, this setting is copied over and the
  "delete" icon is hidden from view should the lockblocks setting be
  enabled.

  To unset - the user can open the advanced options in the shared area
  and disable the lock blocks feature to enable the deletion of the
  blocks as per normal.
