      1. Install a local plugin (I recommend Marina's moodlecheck)
      2. Create a lib.php file within the local plugin if there isn't already one.
      3. Do one of the following:
        • If local_pluginname_extends_navigation exists rename it to pluginname_extends_navigation
        • Create a function in lib.php called pluginname_extends_navigation with no args that does nothing.
      4. Browse to your site (any page with navigation block)
      5. Check you get a debug notice.

    Description

      Presently we have the following two navigation callbacks:

      function local_nicehack_extends_navigation(global_navigation $nav);
      function local_nicehack_extends_settings_navigation(settings_navigation $nav, context $context);

      We also support mapping the following to the first callback above:

      function nicehack_extends_navigation(global_navigation $nav);

      After the release of 2.3 I think it is in our best interests to add a debugging call to the old alternative so that in 2.4 people get advised to upgrade and in 2.5 we can remove it.
