hook_block visibility
yo2lux - June 27, 2008 - 21:56
I have the following implementation of hook_block:
function goodreads_block($op='list', $delta=0, $edit=array()) {
switch($op) {
case 'list':
$blocks[0]['info'] = t('Goodreads Bookshelf');
$blocks[0]['visibility'] = 'forum';
return $blocks;
case 'view':
$blocks['subject'] = t('On the Bookshelf');
$blocks['content'] = t('Temporary content');
return $blocks;
}
}Please tell me why $blocks[0]['visibility'] = 'forum'; don't set the visibility for hook_block? I don't see the visibility information in "Administer -> Site building -> Blocks -> Goodreads Bookshelf preference".
Thanks!
Block visibility
Try with this
function goodreads_block($op='list', $delta=0, $edit=array()) {
switch($op) {
case 'list':
$blocks[0]['info'] = t('Goodreads Bookshelf');
$blocks[1]['info'] = 'forum';
return $blocks;
case 'view':
$blocks['subject'] = t('On the Bookshelf');
$blocks['content'] = t('Temporary content');
return $blocks;
}
}
What you do is the same
What you do is the same thing. I want to set the VISIBILITY not info!

Any help please?

Hope you have gotten your answer
I stumbled upon this as I was looking for what the visibility key does, but I think figured out the answer...
Add your condition as a string to $blocks[0]['pages'], this is basically the content of the textarea in the block configuration.
As for $blocks[0]['visibility'], this is the option under the "Show block on specific pages" heading:
0 = Show on every page except the listed pages.
1 = Show on only the listed pages.
2 = Show if the following PHP code returns TRUE (PHP-mode, experts only).
I found that putting php
I found that putting php code inside $blocks[0]['pages'] and setting $blocks[0]['visibility'] to 3 did not really work so I implemented the logic in the module php code...
there could be a syntax
there could be a syntax error with ur code..
there is no option 3 for $blocks[0]['visibility']
I think it should be 2 and I had it working for my module..
caching issues SOLVED
giorgio79, I had the same issue you did and I fixed it by clearing the cache (via admin_menu or devel modules) and removing the block configuration from the blocks table. It has worked every time for me when I do that.
also note the previous comment that there is no visibility type 3.
