There is a problem. If we make it that the Institution's "drop down nav"
checkbox always overrides the site's "drop down nav" checkbox, then
there is no need to have the site-level checkbox. The site setting will
have no effect except on users who are in "No institution", and possibly
users who have selected a custom theme.

I think, it makes sense the way it currently is. That is to say, the
"drop down nav" checkbox can seen as part of the institution's theme
customization, so it only applies if they choose a custom theme.

We could make it less confusing by adding some JS so that the "drop down
nav" checkbox is disabled or enabled, depending on whether or not the
"site default" theme is selected.

Alternately, if we really want the institution setting to be able to
override the setting even for the "site default" theme, then we need to
change the checkbox to a menu so that an institution can indicate that
they don't want to override the site setting. In other words, it would
be a menu with the options "Site default (Yes/No)", "Yes", and "No".

Title:
  Institution option for dropdown menus should take precedence over site
  option

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  When the theme of an institution is "site default", the institution
  option to use dropdown menus has no effect - it's overridden by the
  site option. It would make more sense to me to have the institution
  option take priority.
