    Description

      This patch adds the ability for local plugins to add nodes to the 'Course administration' navigation in the Settings block in much the same way that MDL-22209 did for the global navigation tree.

      Local plugins can then implement a

      {pluginname}_extends_course_settings_navigation(navigation_node $nav, $coursecontext) function in their /local/{pluginname}

      /lib.php file. And if they want the current course id, they can look at $coursecontext->instanceid.
