 * 'General Developer Forum', with no link.
 * To do that, you need to pass
 * array(array('name' => $linktext, 'link' => '', 'type' => 'title'))
 * However, becuase this is a very common case, you can use a shortcut syntax, and just
 * pass the string 'Editing forum', instead of an array as $extranavlinks.
 *

 * recognised in order to implement the $CFG->hideactivitytypenavlink feature. Types
 * that are known to appear are 'home', 'course', 'activity', 'activityinstance' and 'title'.
 * This really needs to be documented better. In the mean time, try to be consistent, it will
 * enable people to customise the navigation more in future.
 *
 * When passing a $cm object, the fields used are $cm->modname, $cm->name and $cm->course.
 * If you get the $cm object using the function get_coursemodule_from_instance or
 * get_coursemodule_from_id (as recommended) then this will be done for you automatically.
 * If you don't have $cm->modname or $cm->name, this fuction will attempt to find them using
