- Patch by Ax: "The $block->path setting, which <cite>lets you define regular expressions to specify on which pages you want the specific blocks to be shown</cite> [1], has been disfunctional for some time (did it ever work at all?). one reason was the magic_quotes_gpc / stripslashes issue [2] - luckily, this got solved today. the other reason is a buggy implementation that a) compares the path to $PHP_SELF (which is the script name only, without any url params like "?op=view&id=13"; in the case of clean urls, worse, it is index.php always ...) instead of request_uri() (which does have these params and the proper value), and b) doesn't properly escape the regexp delimiter character in the expression ("/back\/slash/")."
