I have three questions (quite unrelated to each other...sorry), any help is really appreciated.

1) How to display a 'User Login' box in the content, say somewhere on a 'page', without having to display it in a block? I would like that a person signs in, or registers on my site for being able to view some information. Displaying the default user login in a block is very awkward and it takes a lot of space...

2) Is it possible AT ALL, to include PHP snippets through the User interface of drupal?? I use the 6.10 version of drupal and I have the OpenWYSIWYG rich text editor. Being able to use PHP snippets will solve a lot of my problems.

and yes...I have already tried enabling the PHP filter module, selecting the input format but still it's just the code that shows up or none it...The PHP never executes. I also tried switching to the 'Source' mode of my text editor before pasting the code and saving it...

3) Is there anywhere we can learn CCK, Panels and Views with examples, through documentation? I don't want videos coz i don't have good bandwidth... I tried searching on google but it just shows up a lot of videos and not good detailed tutorials.

I know basics of drupal. I can customize it's CSS to make it look like the design I have in mind. I understand how (page and story) content is basically created and called, how links are created and lot of other such stuff.

However, I am not quiet confidant about CCK, Panels and Views
That's it for now i guess....Thanks in advance for looking into my difficulties!

1) have you tried placing the login block in the content region (above or below) the node page? There is nothing inheritantly and space consuming about a block-- it's just html. You can also target the individual block and use css to style it more compactly if the current theme has a lot of whitespace in block styles.

2) First-- you should update to d6.12. second, enable the core 'php code' module and use the 'php code' input formats. Third, wysiwyg editors do not generally play well with php pages so you'll want to disable it for those pages.

3) Sorry, but the best sources of training at this point are the videos. There's some written documentation (click the 'documentation' link on the individual module project pages or the "advanced help" links right in drupa), but by far the best instructions are in screencasts.

Hi WorldFallz, thanks for the reply. I guess i'll have to learn it through videos then. I'll also try to update to D 6.12. Looks like i need to research a bit more.
