protectedinherited

This function recursively scans nodes until it finds the active node or there are no more nodes.

Some nodes are containers only with no action.

If this container has an action then nothing is done. If it does not have an action then a search is done through the children looking for the first node that has an action. This action is then given to the parent node that is initially provided as a parameter.

Parameters

navigation_node $node The navigation node that we want to ensure has an action tied to it.

Return values

navigation_node The node intact with an action to use.

Important: If you are here because you need to mark a node active to get the navigation to do what you want have you looked at navigation_node::override_active_url()? You can use it to specify a different URL to match the active navigation node on rather than having to locate and manually mark a node active.

◆ node_matches_key_string()

◆ set_overflow_selected_node()

core\navigation\views\secondary::set_overflow_selected_node ( string $nodekey )

Force a specific node in the 'coursereuse' course overflow to be selected, based on the provided node key.

Normally, the selected node is determined by matching the page URL to the node URL. E.g. The page 'backup/restorefile.php' will match the "Restore" node which has a registered URL of 'backup/restorefile.php' because the URLs match.

This method allows a page to choose a specific node to match, which is useful in cases where the page knows its URL won't match the node it needs to reside under. I.e. this permits several pages to 'share' the same overflow node. When the page knows the PAGE->url won't match the node URL, the page can simply say "I want to match the 'XXX' node".

E.g.

The $PAGE->url is 'backup/restore.php' (this page is used during restores but isn't the main landing page for a restore)
The 'Restore' node in the overflow has a key of 'restore' and will only match 'backup/restorefile.php' by default (the main restore landing page).
The backup/restore.php page calls: $PAGE->secondarynav->set_overflow_selected_node(new moodle_url('restore'); and when the page is loaded, the 'Restore' node be presented as the selected node.

Parameters

string $nodekey The string key of the overflow node to match.

◆ 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
