Description

The location of the student activity reports in the nav block is weird. It is Navigation -> My courses -> Course name -> Participants -> (student name) -> Activity reports.

If we're within My courses why do I need to select myself to get my activity reports? A more logical structure would be Navigation -> My courses -> Course name -> Activity reports

Hi Andrew,

I've just been looking at/thinking about this issue and presently whilst a little long winded I do think the users activity reports are in the correct place.

The reports are based upon the users personal context and in the case of a specific course they relate to the course context as well. The participants branch within a course is where this combination of user/course contexts is fused.
Unfortunately yes when viewing your own profile it is a little long winded.
Moving it to directly under the course node is possible but I'd rather avoid in order to keep the course node as clean and true to the course context.

In looking at this I did however find a bug, the user's activity reports were being marked as active in two places, the users course profile and the users full profile. This was because the users full profile was still referencing the current course.

Petr, I've attached a patch for this issue that sets the course to the site course and changes the navigations generation context to the front page course context for the users profile.
Could you please review it and let me know if it is OK to be commit.

Cheers
Sam

hello, I have integrated this change only into master branch, I think we should device after we get some feedback from the testers. It would be easy to revert this or later backport to stable.

Thanks!
