As requested and voted on admin can now choose not to include course categories within the navbar and global navigation block.
At the same time I also introduced a second setting, showallcourses, which ensures all of the courses a user is registered in are shown on the navigation at all times.
Please forgive me if I have missed converting any output statements. If you do find an output statement that is not formatting correctly please refere to the table I added to this bug in regards to how it should be formatted.
At the same time I have converted the calendar block to use YUI instead of overlib, this introduces one regression in that the panel is shown immediatly but should really have a minimal delay for usability.
This will be fixed once the theme changes for 2.0 have been commited
We use SimpleXML throughout Moodle now and its a dependency for Moodle 2.0.
It peforms better and allow us to remove another embeded library!
Also set the curl timeout on the youtube http requests so not to slow down
interactive page loads.
This patch introduces two new blocks global_navigation_tree and settings_navigation_tree
both of which have been designed to make full use of the new navigation objects available through
the $PAGE object.
Bulk of this code is within lib/navigationlib.php
Simplepie will try quite aggresively to autodiscover rss feeds by
default. Make this configurable when adding a feed and also store
the autodiscovered location rather than the input location.
I also removed the feed validator as this doesn't make much sense with
feed autodiscovery, and I think we can improve simplepie integration to
do this instead
* Allow multiple roles to be allocated by identity provider
* Allow existing enrolment plugins to manage mnet enrolments

In order to stop 'slow loading feeds' causing performance problems
with standard moodle pages, i've set the timeout for simplepie quite
low. When cron runs i've set this timeout high and cache duration low.
The intention is that cron does all the hard work of connecting to remote
sites and users get this fast fast fast from cache.
However, in the case of adding a feed its probably better to try and get the
feed more agressively..
- Specify default low connect timeout in order that 'interactive' pages are
not slowed down by slow feeds
- Set default cache feed duration of 1 hour
In RSS feed block:
- Try really hard in cron to retreive the feed
- Set the cache duration low in order to help cron refresh the cache
In particular for editing sticky blocks. If the admin addes one at site level,
then the teacher should not be able to change its configuration from
the course page, but should be able to set the position on this page.
- Remove obsolete magpie configuration
- Remove block_rss_client_submitters which has not been used for some
time
- Remove some block_rss_client setup from rsslib.php
