Everett,<br><br>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.<br><br>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).<br>
<br>So better test it with some test code and see if what I said is right or not.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Apr 23, 2010 at 5:30 PM, E.J. Zufelt <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:lists@zufelt.ca">lists@zufelt.ca</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

there is a way for my block to gain some context about the page on which it<br>will be rendered.  Primarily I would like to know if my block can be aware<br>of the URL of the page being displayed (not the http-requested URL in case<br>
they differ), and the access permissions of the page being displayed (not<br>those of the block itself, or of the user accessing the block.<br><br><span style="white-space: pre;">	</span>Thanks,<br><span style="white-space: pre;">	</span><br>
