dirname() is a slow function compared with __DIR__ and using
'/../'. Moodle has a large number of legacy files that are included
each time a page loads and is not able to use an autoloader as it is
functional code. This allows those required includes to perform as
best as possible in this situation.
The forum posts and discussion headers have been updated
to use the course full name instead of the short name to
match other pages.

Thanks very much to Remote Learner Canada, especially Hubert Chathi and Olav Jordan, for their work on the bulk of this code, and also Mike Churchward for supporting them. I worked on it after that (actually simplified it by removing a feature temporarily: multiple pages) to bring it more to what I was imagining, and to provide a base to build on and get all the navigation perfect.
There's still work to do. Some blocks don't quite work as expected, and some of the code still needs upgrading to bring it fully into line with 2.0. We also could use a much better course overview block and better CSS styling of the profile pages. But it's definitely more usable this it was, I think.
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
