Description

This module is very cool and helpful, except it totally negates the ability to use url-based visibility (i.e. "Show on only the listed pages.") This is documented in the readme, but the module isn't very useful to me unless I can combine the 2 pieces of functionality.

Are there any plans to improve the module such that it doesn't brute-force insert PHP for the block visibility and allows more refined control over visibility?

I can't envision a way to do this, no... Core would need a more powerful block visibility mechanism.

But I believe I fixed a bug awhile back so that you can now add to the PHP code that the module generates for you, in order to check for arg(0) and such.

Yeah, I've been trying to puzzle out a way to solve the issue, but it keeps coming back to what you describe. Thanks for the feedback, and I'll let you know if I come up with any ideas for a solution.
