Is there a simple method to test if user0 can access the current menu item?

The access checking for menu_get_item() is done in _menu_check_access(). This figures out and calls the access callback for the particular menu item. For the most general case of a menu item with a custom access callback, it would probably not be possible to modify the function to check a specific $account instead of the current global $user, without some sort of hack.<br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"> --Jennifer<br></blockquote></blockquote><br>-- <br>Jennifer Hodgdon * Poplar ProductivityWare<br><a href="http://www.poplarware.com">www.poplarware.com</a><br>Drupal, WordPress, and custom Web programming<br><br></div></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
