Title:
  Local hook for adding custom sideblocks

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  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()
        );
      }
    }
  }
