◆ set_force_into_more_menu()

navigation_node::set_force_into_more_menu ( bool $forceintomoremenu = false )

inherited

Sets whether the node and its children should be added into a "more" menu whenever possible.

Parameters

bool $forceintomoremenu

◆ set_parent()

navigation_node::set_parent ( navigation_node $parent )

inherited

Sets the parent for this node and if this node is active ensures that the tree is properly adjusted as well.

Parameters

navigation_node $parent

◆ set_show_in_secondary_navigation()

navigation_node::set_show_in_secondary_navigation ( bool $show = true )

inherited

Sets whether the node and its children should be displayed in the "secondary" navigation when applicable.

Parameters

bool $show

◆ title()

navigation_node::title ( ?string $title = null )

inherited

Sets the title for this node and forces Moodle to utilise it.

Note that this method is named identically to the public "title" property of the class, which unfortunately confuses our Mustache renderer, because it will see the method and try and call it without any arguments (hence must be nullable) before trying to access the public property

Parameters

string | null $title

Return values

string
