 * Hello,
    I thought I might sahe this little hack. I was looking to put a Logout
   link on the dashboard. The problem was that your code was forcing : `/wp-admin/`
 * So I ended up taking it out:
    `$admin_url = site_url(); //$admin_url = site_url()."/
   wp-admin/";` …and adding it back into the Dashboard Widget Links : /wp-admin/
   profile.php
 * This then means I can also use : /wp-login.php?action=logout
 * I hope you don’t mind… maybe a little **tick box** or a **test** could be integrated
   in a future release.
 * By the way I love this plugin.

 * Haha,
    replying to my own post here… I didn’t read your code far enough. I see
   you already have a switch:
 *     ```
       if(strpos($item['link'] , 'http') ===false){ //not full link
       					$link = ($item['link'] != 'site_url')? $admin_url.$item['link'] : home_url();
       				}else{
       					$link = $item['link'];
       				}
       ```
   
 * So sorry for my previous hack. I guess if I just put in a full URL your code 
   will handle my need without the need for a **tick box** or a **test**!
 * Sorry for any confusion. All the best.
