  Adding new course side menu

  In Atutor 1.5 I would like to add a new side bar menu on a courses page say a site map. I can go and create a new file called side_menu.inc.php in /include/html/dropdowns/
  
  However I can not get it to show up on the side of the courses pages. I cannot find any documentation on the side_menu variable in footer.tmpl.php
  
  How can I add a side whatever I want?
  
  Does it get put in the database? Do I need to edit some array somewhere?
  
  Oh yeah, this is a global change.
  
  Let me know.

  menu stack

  Add it to the $_stacks array in include/lib/constants.inc.php then locate your new module in include/html/dropdowns/

  menu stack additon

  Well that's great but you run an intersect on that array in include/footer.tmpl.php which kick out the new one. How is the side_menu data stored. Is it in the database? Is it a configurable setting? Is it just in a file?

  repurposing the home-links

  I am moving the home links to the right and filling the content area with something different. However, I can only get the home-links to show up on the main course page. For some reason $this->home_links goes out of scoop on say the forums page.
  
  What variable to I need to include in the menu.inc.php file that I have greated to make it work on every page?
  
  This is how I am calling it:
  foreach ($this->home_links as $link)
  blah;
