Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.I would like a block 'by book' option. I don't use taxonomy much and use books to structure my site. I'd like to create a block that was limited to the pages within a particular book.
Is this possible, or would it take some extra coding?

kristen polWould you like it to be so that you choose the parent node/page and the block shows all child pages? Or does it need to be more configurable than that?

divrom commentedI think that would work. Here's what I envision:
You choose the parent (in the same way you do when adding to a book) and it then displays the most popular children.
Or, perhaps what is needed is similar to the current path options. However, rather than saying:
# List of content that starts with the same path as the node being shown
it could simply be
# List of content that starts with the path below
Then I could use pathalis to tell it to choose from certain pages/books and show the most popular. This would be a more manageable and accurate version of the manual entry for me.

kristen polI just re-read your last solution and that makes a lot of sense in general so I have added patterns to be allowed in the manually-selected content blocks. Here's what you can do:
content/book/*
mybook/chapter1/*
Please test if possible. It will be in the *dev* version coming out (both D6 & D7). I'll included in the next official release for both versions.
