[support] block visibility based on User Account AND Path (formerly: block visibility based on user role AND path)

[Steve Kessler]

Is your user list static for this site? It would appear to be a bigger
challenge to edit the PHP code based on new users. 

Have you looked at Organic Groups (http://drupal.org/project/og)

Hope this helps.

Subject: [support] block visibility based on User Account AND Path
(formerly: block visibility based on user role AND path)

sorry -- this was my mistake in my explanation, and now that i realize 
it, the subject line of the email too.

I meant to say in my previous email that i need to display/hide blocks 
based on user account (not role) & path.

I knew the core abilities were there to do role-based + path settings. I 
need it to be based on individual users, not roles.

This is essentially to save administration time that would be required 
to create new roles, just to see very specific blocks.
