The patch previously was sending duplicate notifications when collections were shared due to a doubling up of rows in the activity_queue table. The problem of duplicate emails has been addressed, however, it is possible to receive multiple emails after the one change to access- when a collection is first created a row is entered into the activity_queue. This is to ensure that existing pages that already have access rules do not have their rules overwritten when added to a branch new collection. It is possible to create a new collection and then share that with pages that are not in a collection. You may see an email giving access to the collection and other pages, followed by an email about gaining access to the collection. This is because sharing a collection in combination with anything else means the data in the activity_queue table doesn't match up to the row inserted when the collection was first created so a notification will be sent out for both the collection and other things shared and the collection on its own- these aren't duplicate emails but also can't really be avoided.

Status in Mahara: In Progress Bug description: Email notifications should be more descriptive. When a collection is shared, the notification email should say "a collection has been shared with you" (rather than just listing the first Page in the collection). Our students often share pages with their faculty mentors. We are trying to get students to use collections more, because they are often sharing 3-4 related pages with their mentor at a time. The faculty mentors are confused about whether or not each student is sharing individual pages with them, or a collection, because the notification emails do not differentiate between the two. When a students shares a collection, the faculty's notification email only lists the first page in the collection.
