You are on the right track. You just have to add some more php to do another
test. A slight change in the structure is that you need to make a variable for
the display status and then return it only at the end of the whole snippet.
When there is only one test, you can just set the status "True" or
"False" directly with a return statement that is in the chunk of code
as the test itself (that was how your original snippet did it).<br>
<br>
Note that I did NOT test the code, so there definitely could be a type in there.<br>
<br>
I posted it to a pastebin: <a href="http://pastebin.ca/1663597">http://pastebin.ca/1663597</a><br>

this works great, except for that I’d like the block to show for nodes of
type “blog” <b><u>AND</u></b> also on specific pages – in my
case <a href="http://www.mysite.com/blog" target="_blank">www.mysite.com/blog</a>
which is a view showing a list of blogs. How can I do both? <o:p></o:p></p>
