The existing feature that's closest to this is the "Shared page notifications" feature for groups. That's a tickbox on the group settings page, which determines whether or not (all) group members get a notification when a page is shared with the group.
I think it would make the most sense if the config for shared page notifications, and the config for feedback notifications, were the same. So that either means: 1. We simply add a checkbox for feedback notifications, and if it's ticked, all group members get a notification. 2. OR, we make it into a multi-select that lets you choose which roles in the group get feedback notifications, and we change the shared page notifications config to be the same sort of multi-select. As noted in the instructions for the shared page notifications, the notifications should be turned off by default, because if you have a group with a lot of users in it then this will produce a lot of notifications. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

The problem exists in ActivityTypeArtefactCommentFeedback (artefact/comment/lib.php) on approx line 1205 where if there is no owner id it doesn't follow thru to the sending of notifications. This needs to be changed so that groups/institutions also get notifications. Currently the notification is only designed to be sent to the first user in an array of users (containing only one user, the owner of page/artefact). This will need to change so that it can actually loop through users if there is more than one to be notified for groups/institutions. The question is who are the users that need to receive the feedback notification? Is it the group/institution admins? all members? Institution staff (for institutions)? Only those users in group/institution watching the page? I'm not sure to whom we should restrict the comment notification message - please feel free to add suggestions to this bug report.
