[drupal-devel] [feature] Add configuration option to show blocks only on pages of certain node type

[andremolnar]

 Project:      Drupal
 Version:      cvs
 Component:    block.module
 Category:     feature requests
 Priority:     normal
 Assigned to:  andremolnar

 Updated by:   andremolnar
 Status:       patch
 Attachment:   http://drupal.org/files/issues/block_module_1.patch (8.14 KB)

This patch would allow adminstrators to configure blocks to show up only
pages of a specified node type.

This patch is being submitted in response to feedback on the proposed
changes to the book module http://drupal.org/node/14120.  Feedback
indicated that if the block generation associated with books is
changed, administrators will still require the ability to specify that
newly created book blocks behave as the existing book blocks do (i.e.
only show up on book pages).

This patch goes one step further and would allow an admin to show a
book block (or any block) on any type of page.

While independent of 14120 - this patch in conjuntion with 14120 would
allow the removal of a large piece of block generation code from the
book module.

Comments and feedback, as always, are welcome.
