Public bug reported:
Tested on Mahara 16.10dev
When you are a member of 2 or more institutions, you can switch the
themes in your account settings page to the institution theme that you
want to browse the site in.
When you create a page though, one of the institution themes is chosen
and in my case it wasn't the one of the institution I had selected.
To replicate:
1. Set up institutions "School" and "University" and give each a different
theme, i.e. not the site theme.
2. Set up a user who is a member in both institutions.
3. Log in and in the account settings, choose the school theme.
4. Create a page -> it takes on the school theme, which is correct.
5. Switch the theme in the account settings to "University".
6. The site displays in the university institution theme -> correct.
7. Create a page -> The school theme is selected -> This is not correct. It
should display the university theme.
8. When you go to the page that you created under 4, it also still displays the
school theme when it should show the university theme as that is your browsing
theme.
The theme displayed to the user when browsing the site or creating a
page should always be the one selected in account settings as that is
the only way to know what the user's preference is.
This is unrelated to being able to choose a page theme. When that
functionality is enabled, users should be able to "pin" a specific theme
to a page, but only then. At all other times, the institution theme /
theme chosen in their account settings page should be the one used for
browsing their own portfolio.
There is no way to switch the theme to a "new" / other institution when
page themes aren't turned on (which they aren't always).
