Simple Hook Menu not doing what it is supposed to do

Question

If a user is logged in as admin, it works fine but if user is logged in, it is sending them their profile page. Why?. What files can I check?

$items['go/to/school'] = array(
  'title' => 'Some page Title',
  'page callback' => 'my_function',
  'access callback' => 'my_access',
  'type' => MENU_CALLBACK
);

function my_function() {
  echo "WHATS UP"; //NEVER SHOWS UP
}

Answer 1

Your callback function myaccess() must return TRUE for that user, else that user has no access. This callback function can get arguments trough access arguments. When you do not provide the access callback it defaults to function user_access($access_string), in which case you still need to provide access arguments, e.g. "access content".

Also note, that after each change in the hook_menu-code you must refresh the menu-cache, since this is cached quit heavily.

Answer 2

If you would like this page to be visible to all users (logged-in or anonymous), the simplest way is to just return TRUE in your access callback. For example:

'access callback' => TRUE,

Otherwise, like berkes said, your access callback must return TRUE for that user to see the page. For example:

function my_access() {
  global $user;
  return in_array('authenticated user', $user->roles);
}

This will return TRUE if the user has a role of "authenticated user" and FALSE if they do not.
