Navigation has now been re-ordered in accordance with http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Navigation_2.0_structure.
This has led to several changes in the way in which navigation is generated included API changes, most notably using the
navigation_nodes add method now returns the newly added node rather than the key.
At the same time the global_navigation_tree block has been renamed to navigation and settings_navigation_tree to settings.
When logged in there is a my moodle dashboard branch, when viewing a site profile there is a users branch, and when viewing a course profile there the user is shown under the participants branch
I have not copied and pasted the same code into lots of different places. That sucks. We really need to refactor this into a function that builds the navigation up to, and including the user's name. However, I don't have time now. A list of the places touched by this bug (MDL-12373) will at least give a complete list of places that such a refactoring would have to touch.
