I want to show a block from "anonymous users" and hide it for "known" users.
Seems a normal thing to do with this module.

I set the block to show for anonymous and not for known, but it still shows when I've logged in and logged out, and I confirmed I have the cookie.

(the block is user registration via the form_block.)

I'm guessing this means known user roles like my "known" as true in addition to anonymous users not rather than it.

Yes, it does add the role rather than switching. We don't want users to be 'authenticated' - they're not and that would be dangerous. This would need carefully testing, and I don't think it's a 'bug'. Patches welcome.

Darn, I was hoping I was misunderstanding something.

Only mechanism I can image would be to alter the block setting form to include a checkbox for "[X] Hide block from known user role."

Not sure about much wide usage... but I know that's been a need on two of my projects (hiding introductory content from known users.)

Looks like I'll have to do PHP visibility.

Thought I found the answer with http://drupal.org/project/block_cpr but it seems that's just for text type content in blocks within the block admin page.

Combining these three would have been perfect for showing the registration form in a block and hiding from folks who don't need it: http://drupal.org/project/formblock http://drupal.org/project/known_user_role http://drupal.org/project/block_cpr ...plus https://drupal.org/project/email_registration Great low barrier registration and return visit experience.

Still looking.
