Node Information In Block
radical3 - October 23, 2008 - 18:23
Ive built a small image gallery using
taxonomy
views
cck
image cache
taxonomy image
so far so good, however, on the actual nodes themselves (the image pages) im trying to create a block with information on it, such as:
how many times the node has been viewed
who created the node
what is the role of the user who created the node
how many comments are there
etc etc,
ive managed to build this in views and get it onto the nodes, however im clueless as to how to make the block draw the information from the node, because right now the blocks information is not true.
i have no idea how to use arguments, but im pretty sure thats what i need to use
long story short how can i display a nodes information in a block on the actual node itself??

you're 98% percent of the
you're 98% percent of the way there!
And your instincts were right, you need arguments to tell the block what node you want info for. Unfortunately, blocks don't understand regular views arguments, you have to specify it with code. Add an argument for "Node: nid", select "provide default argument', then 'php code', and try the following code:
if (arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1))) {return arg(1);
}
else {
return FALSE;
}
