Hi guys,
We need to add custom block to the topic hub page (to each it's own) and for some reason it's not easy at all:
- block visibility restriction is not working when block is added sitewide under context - it shows up on every page;
- when added under topic hub panel content it will not show up.
Any help, please. What would be the right way of doing it?
Thanks a lot

Use context
Using context is the way to go.
Sitewide context did exactly what it is supposed to: Show up on every page.
A context that deals with the topic hubs path does not exist in OP (at least not in mine), so simply clone one of the 'listing page' context or create a new one (eg openpublish-listing_pages-blogs).
- Add a 'path' condition and set path to 'topic-hubs' or to the specific hub page (this may get cumbersome if your hubs are many).
- You could also instead pick the 'views' condition and select the 'Topic Hubs' view.
- Add a 'Reaction'. In this case block, then select your desired custom block to display.
This i believe is the simplest solution. Hope it helps.

Thank you Andrew, This is
Thank you Andrew,
This is exactly what I did - added new context with the topic hub path and added block there. Was just about to post reply about it, but yours came first :). Thank you!
