I just installed the image module and I want to have it so that when I look at pictures or galleries nothing shows up in my right sidebar block. Currently in that sidebar I have the "recent posts" and "recent comments" and I want to hide those any time I am looking at anything of the node type "image." Is this possible? I have tried changing the exceptions in the specific blocks but had no luck.

Hi
You can use php code acording to argument at the block visibility

I had the same requirement. The first thing that came into my head was to use PHP as a display rule. Here we go:

// URL to hide from: www.example.com/?q=node/20
$nid = arg(1);
if($nid && is_numeric($nid)){
  $node = node_load($nid);
  if($node->type == 'image'){
    return false;
  }
}
return true;

Note: I have not used the image module, so I don't know what is the node type (machine readable name of the node). I just used 'image' here. See in admin panel -> content types for it and change the string in the code accordingly.

Good luck with you project.

I think the best way to do this is using PATHAUTO module.
http://drupal.org/project/pathauto

1- Install the module.
2- Go to configuration page and set up a unique path for node type IMAGE (like photo/[nid])
3- Go to block administration.
4- Set the visibility option of the block to SHOW ON EVERY PAGE EXCEPT PAGES BELOW
5- Write this path in the textarea: photo/*

I am using this for different content types on many sites.

Thank you for the fast reply. I set-up PATHAUTO just like you said and it works perfect.

God... I always forget about pathauto.

Thanks nimazuk for refreshing my memory. Pathauto goes to my arsenal right away.
