Drupal 7 Context module - Daily Dose of Drupal episode 72

The Drupal 7 Context module allows you to easily organize your site into manageable sections (a.k.a "contexts"). These contexts can be used to change the layout of the page depending on where you are on the site. For instance, you may need certain blocks to show up in the sidebar on the homepage, and then change that to show up differently on blog pages.

Note: You will need to install the Drupal 7 Chaos tools (ctools) module in order to use the Drupal 7 context module.

In this episode you will learn:

- The basics of the Drupal 7 context module and how it can be used to better architect the sections of your Drupal website
- How to add contexts to your Drupal websites
- How to display the same block in multiple regions depending on your current context

I prefer panels but it's nice to see this module in action, thanks.

I'm trying to find out how to disable the sidebar in a certain view, but Context for Drupal 6 won't allow this :(

What happens to your existing block configuration? Does Context override it or is the blocks you placed through Structure -> Blocks still there?
