      • Ensure that the old assignment activity displays in the activity chooser as it currently does.
      • Turn activity chooser off and check that old Assignment appears correctly in add activity dropdown.
      • You can test the new return value from modname_get_types by adding the following to mod/forum/lib.php and then ensuring that Forum still displays in the activity chooser: 

        function forum_get_types() {
        		 
            return MOD_SUBTYPE_NO_CHILDREN;
        		 
        }

      In general we are trying to remove the need for activity module subtypes (which explains why they look so bad on activity chooser in 2.3+). However sometimes they are useful, especially for the case of LTI subtypes - "External tools".

      After some discussion, the plan is this:

      1) If an activity module just has one subtype, then promote the link for that subtype to look like a full activity. This simplifies the interface for users.

      2) If an activity module has two or more subtypes, then promote the module in the UI to a group equal to "Activities" or "Resources". For LTI this would be "External tools" and will show all the subtype icons/links under it.
