Block visible for Specific Content Type AND Specific URL
I wanted to have a block displayed for a specific content type but also displayed on a number of pages.
The solution is to create a single Block and choose PHP for visibility settings.
The PHP code goes as follows:
<?php
$match = FALSE;
$types = array('content-petites_annonces' => 1);
if (arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1))) {
$nid = arg(1);
$node = node_load(array('nid' => $nid));
$type = $node->type;
if (isset($types[$type])) {
$match = TRUE;
}
}
if (substr($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"], 0, 10) == '/petitesan')
{ $match = TRUE;}
if (substr($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"], 0) == "/node/add/content-petites_annonces
")
{ $match = TRUE;}
return $match;
?>Basically the first part put $match to TRUE if the page is of the content type I want.
The other 2 if statements are selection based on the URL of the page. Allowing me to activate the Block for the URL I want.
Block visibility for node type and URL selection
Here's a more concise example which shows the block only on pages of specific node type and on the taxonomy pages. Tested on Drupal 5.x. Note the use of node_load argument and the arg() function for URL selection.
<?php
$match = FALSE;
$types = array('product' => 1);
if ((arg(0) == 'node') && is_numeric(arg(1))) {
$node = node_load(arg(1));
$match = isset($types[$node->type]);
}
$match |= ((arg(0) == 'taxonomy') && (arg(1) == 'term'));
return $match;
?>
Nice example. I adapted it
Nice example. I adapted it to show a block where either the URI is "/foo" or "/bar" or the node is of type "project". In the interest of platform independence, I used the request_uri() function.
If you needed to match a wildcard, this could be adapted by adding one of the regular expression functions.
<?php
$match = FALSE;
$types = array('project' => 1);
$uris = array('/foo' => 1, '/bar' => 1);
if ((arg(0) == 'node') && is_numeric(arg(1))) {
$node = node_load(arg(1));
$match = isset($types[$node->type]);
}
$match |= isset($uris[request_uri()]);
return $match;
?>
Hide block on node edit page
Here is an example for hiding a block on a node's edit page.
<?php
$match = TRUE;
$url = request_uri();
if (strpos($url, "edit")) {
$match = FALSE;
}
return $match;
?>
Block visibility on other pages can be controlled by adding additional if statements. This example hides block on "/admin/*", "/filter/tips", "/node/add", and "node/10" pages.
<?php
$match = TRUE;
$url = request_uri();
if (strpos($url, "admin")) {
$match = FALSE;
}
if (strpos($url, "filter/tips")) {
$match = FALSE;
}
if (strpos($url, "node/add")) {
$match = FALSE;
}
if (strpos($url, "edit")) {
$match = FALSE;
}
if (strpos($url, "node/10")) {
$match = FALSE;
}
return $match;
?>
I'm sure the code could be more efficient but would take away from showing the concept.
HTH,
