Error Creating Custom Layout for Group Page

[Ghada El-Zoghbi]

Mahara: 1.8.2testing (2013101407)
OS: Linux
DB: PostGres 9.1
Browser: Firefox

In a brand new vanilla Mahara in install:
- Create 3 users (teacher1, teacher2, student1).
- Create a group (teachers) with users: teacher1 and teacher2.
- Log in as teacher1
- Create a page (Standard 1) under the group teachers
- Customise the layout (2 rows): row 1= 2 columns; row 2 = 5 columns.
- Click 'Create New Layout' button.

The following error is generated:

[WAR] 68 (lib/errors.php:736) Failed to get a recordset: postgres7 error: [-1: ERROR: null value in column "usr" violates not-null constraint] in adodb_throw(INSERT INTO "usr_custom_layout" ("layout") VALUES (?), Array)

It appears that the owner is null.

There was a similar bug reported for Mahara 1.9 (bug #1266317). It may need to be applied to 1.8 also.

Thanks Ghada!

I was able to replicate the problem, and cherry-picking the patches from Bug 1266317 fixed the problem. So, I'll mark this one as a duplicate and reopen the other bug.
