Rules actions to more or disable a Drupal block. Plus some helper functions.

Code

function rb_block_action_place_block($block, $region, $weight) {

  // Compare the region against the currently active theme – we only want to
  // insert blocks if the region matches this theme.
  global $theme;
  $region_info = explode('-', $region);
  if ($region_info[0] != $theme) {
    return;
  }
  else {

    // Ok, the theme is right. Change the $region variable to only contain the
    // actual region  name – not the theme name.
    $region = $region_info[1];
  }

  // Get block data.
  $block_info = explode('||', $block);
  $new_block = block_load($block_info[0], $block_info[1]);

  // Set the modified values for the block. Also assure that the block is set as
  // active.
  $new_block->region = $region;
  $new_block->weight = $weight;
  $new_block->theme = $theme;
  $new_block->status = 1;

  // Set the block as a Drupal static, to allow it to be called from outside
  // this action (namely from hook_block_list_alter).
  $blocks =& drupal_static('rb_block_blocks');
  $blocks[$new_block->bid] = $new_block;
