Associate Blocks with Forum nodes
If you want show a node in all node forums, thanks to new feautre of Drupal 4.7 (Show block on specific pages) It's very simple:
First from "Show block on specific pages" section of block setting choose "Show if the following PHP code returns" and then put following snippet in Pages Box:
<?php
if (arg(0) == 'node') {
$node = node_load(array('nid' => arg(1)));
return $node->type == 'forum';
}
?>It's useful for showing showing Active forum topics' and 'New forum topics' blocks in all forum posts.
To reverse this
change this line
return $node->type == 'forum';to this:
return $node->type != 'forum';I believe this does what you asked for, rt.
Sidebar: I became confused while I tested this, because my test block did not show on admin pages. Of course! Admin pages aren't nodes!
I used this snippet in <?php
I used this snippet in <?php block visibility:
<?phpreturn (arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1)) && node_load(arg(1))->type=='blog');
?>
Simply replace "blog" with name of your content type. For multiple content types, use this syntax:
<?phpreturn (arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1)) && (node_load(arg(1))->type=='blog' || node_load(arg(1))->type=='page' || node_load(arg(1))->type=='etc')));
?>
I don't think it's the cleanest and most optimized solution, but it's quick, dirty and works.

Another solution
Based in that article, I've done this to show a block in blog frontpages and nodes:
<?phpif (arg(0) == 'node') {
$node = node_load(array('nid' => arg(1)));
return $node->type == 'blog';
} else {
return arg(0) == 'blog';
}
?>
This shows on all pages that are not images
I couldn't get the shorter versions in the preceding comments to work in Drupal 5, but this slightly longer version did:
<?phpif (arg(0) == 'node' ) {
$node = node_load(array('nid' => arg(1)));
return $node->type <> 'image';
} else {
return TRUE;
}
?>
