Hi there!

I'm in the process of moving my website to drupal (6). Currently I'm using a homebrewn CMS but I think drupal is the way to go. There are some things I can't get to work though and searching and irc'ing has brought me no further. So here's whats bugging me:

1. OpenID is nice. Very nice. So nice I want to make it the default and only login mechanism on my site. Right now when a user goes to user/login he has to follow yet another link for OpenID login. I don't like this. Is there no way to disable the default login mechanism alltogether? I think this should be a theme thing but I can't find any documentation here. Any hints?

2. I don't like the default way comments are handled in drupal. I'd like the current fields and everything stay just the way it is. But additionally there should be an OpenID field for those, who are not yet logged in. The data from OpenID should then be populated on my website. To sum it up:
required input: OpenID, comment text
optional input: comment title
output: comment, number, openID (linked)
-> optional output (if supplied by openID resource): website, email

Do I have to implement all that on my own? Or are there modules I haven't found out there which can help me with that?

If I'm on my own, where can I find more documentation? I assume I'll have to adapt the comment module. Where can I find infos about openID inside drupal?

Thanks

There is little documentation & contrib modules for Drupal 6 as of yet. Mainly because it hasn't been released beyond RC code. It takes some time before modules catch up to the next version of Drupal.

And what I wrote above would be possible in drupal 5?

I just dont want to put much effort into drupal 5 just to upgrade to 6 very soon after.
