i love this module. when i built my first real drupal site a long while back, i went off the deep end with this putting custom content into half of the nodes on my site - it's awesome...

any plans for d6?

Seconded. I'm currently building a Drupal 5 site and I'd like to know whether a D6 version of SideContent will be created before using its functionality!

I join. It would be great to have this module available fro Drupal 6.

Yes, I plan to port this to Drupal 6.

However, none of the projects I use this on will be upgraded to 6 until Views has been updated and gone through a month or two of testing, so it may take a while.

An early port version.

Were you able to validate the above patch for yourself? Here's a newer version of the 5.x -> 6.x patch that fixes the issue of displaying the same cached content for different nodes when the user is not authenticated, thus violating the "The content will only be seen when viewing the page (node) that it's been added to." feature.

The latest change involves adding $blocks[0]['cache'] = BLOCK_CACHE_PER_PAGE attribute. May also need to run "update blocks set cache=4 where module='sidecontent';" for sidecontent blocks that had already been defined.

Adding to patch queue.

Robert,

perhaps you could offer adzio to co-maintain this to get his port (which works nicely) tested and released? Assuming adzio would like to put more work into this. Plenty of people use sidecontent on D6, so you could find someone else otherwise.

Jason,

nice cleanup! On a quick glance two questions come to mind:

- Are the new D6 schemas not working for postgresql? Is it okay to just revert to plain CREATE/DROP?
- Did you intentionally remove BLOCK_CACHE_PER_PAGE? Caching is quite the problem with sidecontent.

Can you please contact Robert regarding co-maintaining this?
