Allow main navigation to have an external link

Patch for "master" branch: https://reviews.mahara.org/4712

To test:

Add this code to htdocs/local/lib.php

function local_main_nav_update(&$menu) {
    $menu['support'] = array(
        'path' => 'support',
        'wwwroot' => 'http://docs.myportfolio.school.nz/',
        'url' => 'index.html',
        'title' => 'External link',
        'weight' => 50,
    );
}

You should see a new link in the menu called 'External link' - before patch the link should fail - afterwards it should work correctly

Hi Rob,

There's no lib.php in my local, so I created on and added this and it just showed this script under the all the headings on the the dashboard page.

Maybe the code I'm supposed to be editing is in a different directory?

Cheers,
Jinelle

Ah, if you don't already have a local/lib.php file then make one with the opening php tag, like thus:

<?php

function local_main_nav_update(&$menu) {
    $menu['support'] = array(
        'path' => 'support',
        'wwwroot' => 'http://docs.myportfolio.school.nz/',
        'url' => 'index.html',
        'title' => 'External link',
        'weight' => 50,
    );
}
