Title:
  artefact_in_view() only supports one level of parentage

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I don't really think this is the right answer, but this patch supports
  TWO levels of parentage, so kids can have artefacts in folders in
  folders, and folks who have access to the view can view and download
  the artefacts. Without this patch, if a kid puts an artefact inside a
  folder that's inside a folder, users with permission to access the
  view get an 'access denied' message because artefact_in_view() in
  lib/mahara.php doesn't check to see if maybe the parent of the parent
  of the artefact is in the view...

  Again, hard-coding levels of inheritance like this isn't really
  desirable, but checking arbitrary levels of parentage is expensive
  unless it's done very carefully.

  In any case, I've attached the patch I've applied to our system (we're
  running 1.4.1, but 1.6.* appears to have the same issue) to get us
  around this problem for now.

  Cheers,
  Matt
