Everett, I think if the currently logged in user does not have access to this URL, then the page load will not reach as far as your hook_block() code. Although, it is 10:31 pm and I am at the airport after 7 continuous days of Drupaling, so brain is fried (in the microwave). So better test it with some test code and see if what I said is right or not. On Fri, Apr 23, 2010 at 5:30 PM, E.J. Zufelt <lists@zufelt.ca> wrote:
Good afternoon,
Thanks, this was quite helpful.
I notice that menu_get_item() will tell me if the current user can access the current menu item. Is there a simple method to test if user0 can access the current menu item? That is, regardless who the current user is, I would like to see if there is a function to let me know if user0 can access the current page, essentially a test to see if the current page is available to anonymous users or not.
Thanks again,

$_GET['q'] holds the current, internal system path.
menu_get_item() provides you the currently active menu router item.
menu_get_object() provides you a dynamic argument context from the menu router item, if any. http://api.drupal.org/api/function/menu_get_object/6

Good morning,
I am building a module and invoking hook_block. I am wondering if there is a way for my block to gain some context about the page on which it will be rendered. Primarily I would like to know if my block can be aware of the URL of the page being displayed (not the http-requested URL in case they differ), and the access permissions of the page being displayed (not those of the block itself, or of the user accessing the block.
Thanks,
Everett Zufelt
