 * To do that, you need to pass
 * array(array('name' => $linktext, 'link' => '', 'type' => 'title'))
 * However, becuase this is a very common case, you can use a shortcut syntax, and just

 * If you get the $cm object using the function get_coursemodule_from_instance or
 * get_coursemodule_from_id (as recommended) then this will be done for you automatically.
