Display block depending on taxonomy term? Viable?

Hi

I think you can user php code for block visibility settings. Let me know if you have still some problems.

Devender

Manual and tiresome way would be to assign blocks (of different groups) to different set of pages in the block configuration. If you have a ad group called "Web 2.0 expo" and it should appear on certain pages then u should list those pages in block configuration in the section where it says show this block on following pages. Otherwise you can take help of views argument and expose your views as block. I'll get back if I think of something slick.

Here are a couple of snippets of PHP code that should help. Paste one of these into block visibility settings as devenderdagar said, and see what happens. See here for PHP snippet usage instructions if you need them: http://drupal.org/node/337959

These are slightly modified versions of code I found on Drupal.org somewhere. If you search you should be able to find the original pages that I got these from - there will be more there.

$make_block_visible = FALSE;
$term_id_to_trigger_show_block = 19; // show this block on nodes with this term id PUT-THE-TERMS-NUMERIC-ID-HERE .

// Show block on Taxonomy term listing page
if ((arg(0) == 'taxonomy') && (arg(1) == 'term') && (arg(2) == $term_id_to_trigger_show_block)) {
    $make_block_visible = TRUE;
  }

// Show this block on nodes with the right term id 
if (arg(0) == 'node' && arg(1) && is_numeric(arg(1))) {
$node = node_load(arg(1));  
foreach ($node->taxonomy as $term) {
        if ($term->tid == $term_id_to_trigger_show_block) $make_block_visible = TRUE;
}
}

    return $make_block_visible;

if (arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1))) {
  $nid = arg(1);
  $node = node_load($nid);
  foreach ($node->taxonomy as $term) {
    if ($term->name == 'PUT-YOUR-TAXONOMY-TERM-HERE') {
      return TRUE;
    }
  }
}
return FALSE;

Same issue here. The Context Module solved most of the issues without PHP. Excellent module.
