Title:
Image not shown in group description if not a member of a group
Status in Mahara:
Fix Released
Status in Mahara 17.04 series:
Fix Released
Status in Mahara 17.10 series:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Seen in Mahara 16.10 and 17.04 but most likely the case also in
earlier versions.
When you include an image in the group description and someone who is
not yet a member of the group looks at the group homepage, that
someone cannot see the image as only members of the group have access
to the files that are saved in a group. In contrast to images added to
a text block on a page and the page then being shared and others can
see the images, that doesn't work for group homepages. If you add an
image to an image block though, you can view the image just fine.
To replicate:
1. Create a group and save it.
2. Add an image to the group description (you can only do that after you
saved the group because before then you don't have group files available) and
save.
3. Log in as someone else and view the group homepage. Expected result: You
see the image. Actual result: You can't and only see the alt text.
There are two possibilities going forward:
1. Correct the permissions so you can view images added to the group
description.
2. Remove the possibility to add images in a group description. The
images don't show up in the overview page of the available groups. And
images can be added easily to the group homepage by using the image
block.
It could be worthwhile to discuss not offering the possibility to have
all the formatting options for description fields such as group
description and page description. In the past, we wanted more
formatting options in page descriptions in order to circumvent the
column layout which was not flexible enough to have a banner across
the entire page. This has been possible for a number of versions now
and the need for page description formatting is not so great anymore.
Therefore, I wonder if we could dispense with either all formatting
options or at minimum remove the possibility to add images.
No matter the decision, since it's easy to get around the issue with
images in the group description, I'm marking this as a low bug.
