I've managed to track down exactly why this was triggering on this site, but not on other Mahara sites (and to clear up confusion, the 'client' who's site I was investigating was Gordon's site - I was assigned the issue to investigate but only had the site name, not the contact name).
Usually the 'delay' field for the 'watchlist' activity is set to '1', so that the code which was throwing an exception on this site is only called via cron. With cron running, there is already a workaround in place to not throw an error if the 'owner' field is 'null', on the assumption that the owner must have been deleted before cron was called. This means that cron was silently coping with 'group' pages, none of which have an 'owner' value set. On this site, the 'delay' field was set to '0', so the watchlist was being updated immediately and throwing an exception when the 'owner' field was null. I would recommend fixing this by updating the ActivityTypeWatchlist '__construct()' function to simply return if the 'owner' is not found, rather than throwing an exception. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1099811 Title: group files error after upgrade Status in Mahara ePortfolio: New Bug description: Hi, I upgraded to Mahara 1.6.2 on two sites. When upgrading both sites I had to alter the database to remove a latin1 collation somewhere in the tables, as outlined here - https://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=1770 The upgrade then ran and appeared to work, but I discovered a couple of closely related issues. In the first site I'm getting an error whenever any user tries to add a file to a page within a group (see screenshot). In the second test site the Files tab in groups is missing completely. My best guess is that a table or index has either been corrupted or was missed from the upgrade - but I'm stumped about how to proceed in fixing this. Any suggestions would be welcome. The page not found issue is the priority. Thanks, Gordon.
