Block visibility in multiblog sites D6
Here is a php snippet to use in D6 if you have more than one blogs in your drupal site and you wish to handle block visibility.
I checked all php snippets and this was missing.
the following example is for blog/1 and user= userName
<?php
$match = FALSE;
$type = 'blog';
if (arg(0)=='blog' && arg(1) == 1)
return true;
if (arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1))) {
$nid = arg(1);
$node = node_load(array('nid' => $nid));
$nodetype = $node->type;
$name = $node->name;
if ($type == $nodetype && $name == 'userName') {
$match = TRUE;
}
}
return $match;
?>the following example is for blog/2 and user = John
<?php
$match = FALSE;
$type = 'blog';
if (arg(0)=='blog' && arg(1) == 2)
return true;
if (arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1))) {
$nid = arg(1);
$node = node_load(array('nid' => $nid));
$nodetype = $node->type;
$name = $node->name;
if ($type == $nodetype && $name == 'John') {
$match = TRUE;
}
}
return $match;
?>So basicaly, suppose one has 2 blogs in one drupal site (with 2 different users) and wishes to make 1 block for each blog that will display recent comments for that blog. This block should be visible when visiting the appropriate blog. When visiting blog/1 and all nodes included in it we wish to see "Recent comments for blog/1" block and when we visit blog/2 and all nodes included in it, we wish to see "Recent comments for blog/2".
So we are giving the php 3 elements : type, url and userName.That is if the type is blog, the url == 1 (blog/1) and the user that uploads content = Username, make this block visible on blog/1.
simple as that, enjoy :)
