We can set visibility conditions (variant selection criteria) at page and variant level, but it would be nice to apply visibility rules on individual blocks (panes). You used to be able to do this in D7.

There's a patch doing exactly this for Page Manager in ✨ Allow for block visibility rules Needs review . The patch currently being worked on in this issue leverages that. However it currently means introducing a new dependency on Page Manager. Possible solutions:

  • Factor the visibility/condition form functionality into core.
  • Factor the visibility/condition form functionality into ctools (which is already a dependency of both Page Manager and Panels).
  • Make Panels only show/use the visibility conditions if Page Manager is installed (ugly imho).
  • Any other ideas...?!

@vbouchet took a different approach in solving the problem by providing a new kind of access plugin for Panels 3.x and 4.x in #11.
