Public bug reported:

Local hook would be needed (in lib/web.php) to allow for custom plugins
to add custom sideblocks to certain parts/pages within Mahara without
the need for changing core code.

Below is an example (in local/lib.php) of using such a hook to add
custom sideblock to all pages relatd to groups (i.e. Gropus menu and all
it's submenu items):

function local_sideblocks_update(&$SIDEBLOCKS) {
  if (defined('MENUITEM') && MENUITEM != '') {
    list($mainmenu, $submenu) = explode('/', MENUITEM);
    if($mainmenu == 'groups') {
      safe_require('artefact', 'myplugin');
      $SIDEBLOCKS[] = array(
        'name'   => 'mysideblock',
        'id'     => 'sb-mysideblock',
        'weight' => -10,
        'data'   => PluginArtefactMyplugin::mysideblock_sideblock()
      );
    }
  }
}
