Hello All,
I'm very new to Drupal and volunteer for a non-profit org. We're trying to build a site that is a digital library of a collection of audios and videos. I've tried to create a new content type which will enable me to have some text on the front page to welcome folks. Other than this text, I would like is to have a login or sign-up link that will enable people to login or sign up for this library. This front page should not have any navigation links.

After their first login they would be taken to a home page which has navigation links. If they don't have a login they need to be taken to another (perhaps basic?) page where they will enter some information and seek a password for their first login.

I've found some modules such as first_login and login_destination that would be helpful but I've been unable to create a front page which has no navigation links (menu) and only has a login or sign-up option.

Can anyone please help me get started?

Thanks,
abhi

There are already pages for login (user/login) and registration (user/register). The login page has a link to the registration page, there is a module that combines both on a page and since there is also a login block, you can place it on the registration page. You can use a module like front page or context to control what page anonymous users see as the front page. If you display the navigation links as a block you can use the blocks visibility settings to hide it from anonymous users, otherwise you will either need to do something like in http://drupal.org/node/1275288 or you could implement hook_page_alter() to hide the menu from anonymous users.

Thank-you nevets for your useful suggestions. I used the visibility settings to hide the menu options on the login/sign up page.-

I intend to use login_destination or first_login module to do the test of what I stated in my original message.

Thanks again for your help!
