Hello all!

I am super new to Drupal, and while I am finding it quite easy to get up to speed on it, I can't quite figure out a couple of design issues, and doing a search on the forum has not provided me any answers.

I am using the treedesert theme on Drupal 5.1, and I would like to remove the log in text and boxes from the left box on the site. Is this possible? If it is - First, what is the name of the file I need to modify to remove the info, and second, if I remove the log in from my site I lose the ability to log in to my admin. Is there another way for me to get into the admin area?

Also, in the left nav box, at the top is the word "Navigation". I would love to remove/change the wording on this, can anyone tell me what file I need to modify to do this?

Any info on both/either of these issues would be greatly appreciated. Wordy explanations not needed, I just need some quick help pointing me to the right files.

Thank you!

To remove the login block: In the admin interface navigate to blocks (admin/build/block) and disable the User Login block.
To continue to login to your site: In your browser address bar, just go to http://yourdomain.com/user
To change title "Navigation": In the block admin (as above) find Navigation, click "configure" and set a title.

You can remove the login block in 5.x by going to Administer --> Site Building --> Blocks and set the User login block Region to <none>. In the same location (Blocks), click on Configure next Navigation and change the Block title to what you want to display instead of Navigation.

To login without the login block just navigate to http://yoursite.com/?q=user or http://yoursite.com/user (if you have Clean URLs installed).

Most of this information is available on http://drupal.org if you just search for it. Also, just poke around on your site and you can usually figure something out within a couple of clicks. Always have a test site around to play with ... you don't want to "test" on a production site.

Enjoy.

Hi,

When I disable the login block (move to none), I get access denied when I do the mysite.com/user - fortunately I was logged in in IE and tested it with Firefox!

Are you sure this is right?

yes it's right unless of course you aren't using clean urls, then you need http://yoursite.com/?q=user.

If you've rewritten the path to /user with pathauto.module or path.module you may have to refer to the url alias you created.

The search tool on Drupal.org really does work. This message has been brought to you by the letter X. Thanks for watching! : )
