color=#0000ff size=2>Yep this works. I've done similar things to make
blocks appear on specific pages. You don't technically need path_auto to
accomplish this. If you use the path module, you can manually set up each
page with a path (e.g. news/todaysnews). What pathauto does for you is to
automatically set the "path" alias names based on content type and/or taxonomy
term plus the page title. You can always override a particular page by
specifically setting its path, provided you have the path module enabled.

If so how....? <BR>><BR>> You can use a custom block with php if-then
conditions or switches. Not<BR>> sure if there is an easier
way.<BR>><BR>> If you don't know how to code, it is perhaps better to
make separate<BR>> blocks with the menu links in them and only set their
visibility in <BR>> block admin pages, otherwise you can make one block
with different PHP<BR>> conditions to display the links as they should be
per page.<BR>><BR><BR>If you use pathauto to create your paths for you then
you could set up <BR>a system that splits your "different sections" into
different URLs on<BR>the site such
as:<BR><BR>forum/<BR>blog/<BR>news/<BR><BR>And then create blocks appropriate
for those sections and in the block<BR>visibility settings set the blocks to
only show on forum/* pages or <BR>blog/* pages as appropriate.<BR><BR>With
pathauto it's possible to separate by either node type (as shown<BR>above) or
by the lowest weighted taxonomy term in the lowest
weighted<BR>taxonomy.<BR><BR>Regards,<BR>Greg<BR><BR><BR>--<BR>Greg Knaddison
