Title:
  'Submitted host' info not displayed for pages submitted via LTI

Status in Mahara:

Status in Mahara 21.10 series:

Bug description:
  When a page is submitted to the LMS, e.g. Brightspace, via LTI
  Advantage, the 'submitted host' info is not displayed in the
  notification. It looks like this:

  ---
  From: System

  To: NAME

  This is to confirm that you submitted the page "Page title"
  successfully to the external host "" at 01 December 2021, 11:02pm.

  If you have any questions about this submission, please contact the group administrator.
  ---

  Whereas for a collection the URL is displayed:

  ---
  From: System

  To: NAME

  This is to confirm that you submitted the collection "Collection
  title" successfully to the external host "https://LMS-DOMAIN"; at 01
  December 2021, 10:54pm.

  If you have any questions about this submission, please contact the group administrator.
  ---

  The collection has the 'submittedhost' line in the code:
  https://git.mahara.org/mahara/mahara/-/blob/main/htdocs/lib/collection.php#L1808
  whereas the view does not:
  https://git.mahara.org/mahara/mahara/-/blob/main/htdocs/lib/view.php#L1759

  It will need to be added.

  While making this change, it would be good to update the language
  string 'messageexternal' and replace 'If you have any questions about
  this submission, please contact the group administrator.' with 'If you
  have any questions about this submission, please contact your
  instructor.'

  To replicate:

  1. Set up LTI Advantage in an institution.
  2. Set up an activity in Brightspace.
  3. As student, submit a page in one submission and a collection in another.
  4. Check the notifications. In both cases, the external host URL should be mentioned in the notification and the 'If' sentence should point to the course administrator.

  
  -----------------------------------

  When you submit a page or collection via LTI 1.1, the normal 'External
  tool' via Moodle, for example, the message is:

  ---
  This is to confirm that you submitted the {page|collection} "Title of Portfolio" successfully to the group ""Title of the course" - "Title of the activity"" at 12 January 2022,  4:47pm.

  If you have any questions about this submission, please contact the group administrator.
  ---

  Since this takes the general group submission string and doesn't seem
  to be able to differentiate between external host and group, we could
  make the string generic:

  ---
  This is to confirm that you submitted the collection "SubmissionsTesting8" successfully to the group '"Patch12338" - "SubmissionTesting8"' at 12 January 2022,  4:47pm.

  If you have any questions about this submission, please contact your instructor.
  ---

  Note the single quotation mark around the part that comes from the
  LMS, which needs to be escaped. You can't have two double quotation
  marks next to each other.

  1. Set up LTI 1.1 in an institution.
  2. Set up two regular 'External tool' activities in Moodle.
  3. As student, submit a page to one activity and a collection to another.
  4. Check the notifications. In both cases, the external host URL should be mentioned in the notification.


  Please also change the following string while in the file:

  $string["subject"] = 'Your submission of your %s was successful';

  to

  $string["subject"] = 'Submission of your %s was successful';

  String ID change is not needed as it is a small change only and
  translators might have already used better wording.
