Hi MIke,

You may be =
right, it's just I know that I can achieve my aim using this method. If =
there's a better way please share :-)

All the check is for in my template =
is to decide whether to display a couple of extra links in my menu block, =
which already changes based on whether a user is logged in. Checking for =
admin panels lets me do this simply. Is there another/better way to =
achieve this?

Best regards

Chris
