Added event monitor rules link to the frontpage navigation tree, when
editing the frontpage rules. Added hack so that when viewing the site
context subscriptions, the link in navigation is correct, allowing the
breadcrumbs to appear
We now user $CFG->navcourselimit to limit the number of
courses shown in the navigation when browsing another users
full profile. Previously it showed all courses which caused
some slowdown.
This patch does the following:-
Start using proper key for course report node
Allow admin tools to hook into course navigation
Original issue - MDL-46131
