How to keep block displayed just during its book browsing?

It ain't that easy. That snippet would require me to create a block for every book on my system. That is possible since I only have 8 books today in my multilingual site, but the core drupal book block handles all 8 and gives me a good header for each block automatically. Why would I want users responsible to create and configure blocks and put in PHP code when they add new books?!!!

Please add a checkbox to the configuration which would allow a block to imitate the normal Book Navigation block and appear anytime the user is on a page that has a parent.

I agree -- this seems like a core feature of using books in the first place. If I'm going to have to hand-create a block for every book when I use this module, then there's no reason to use books in the first place, and this is keeping me (and I imagine other people) from using this module.

So the request is an option that can be enabled for it to check whether a given page is a book or a child of a book before it displays the block.

Agree with #2

I think this module should have 2 default blocks, one of them list all the books , and the other one list book based on argument , and it can take from panel or url argument which will be the id of the book or child id

in this way the same block will show the book pages and show the book own menu only

Topic starter had his problem solved. For the other searchers http://drupal.org/node/518074 seems to do the trick.

Let's mark it as a dupe of that issue #518074: It is possible to display the current book???
