i need to make a block and insert it in the main page content.
the main page will have more content other than the block.
the reason why i want to have that content as a block is that only that part should be editable by a particular user.

if you can see my site you will get an idea.

www.nellore.co.nr

it is in another CMS now. i am transferring to drupal.

in the main page there is this part called theatre-movies table.

only that part should be editable by one user.

in CMSmadeSimple, which i am using now, there are these GLObalContent Blocks. I can create one such block and insert the block in the content by using a tag. and make the block editable by specified users.

how can i implement this in Drupal.

You can see my under-construction site at http://tanay.co.in/nellore

It sounds like what you need is panels module. With panels module, you can take any node (a page, a story, your custom content type, whatever) and place it in a page with other content.

firstly thanq for the reply.

and are u sure its the panels module?

coz .. i quote from the module description


"The panels module is the ideological son, successor to and almost complete replacement for the dashboard module. This module allows you to create pages that are divided into areas of the page. Where the dashboard module only gave four areas--top, bottom, left and right--this one is a completely flexible system that includes a couple of 2 column and 3 column layouts by default, but is also highly extensible and other layouts can be plugged in with a little HTML and CSS knowledge, with just enough PHP knowledge to be able to edit an include file without breaking it."

it doesnt look like that..

and about the user permissions for a particular page, do i need any modules for that?

HedgeMage is right on panels it would be a great way for construction the over all page contents. You may also want to use the Content Construction Kit (CCK) module for creating content types and the Views module for making lists of a given content type.
