Can anyone help

I am not skilled enough to follow all the examples

I have this code working in Drupal 5.3 - taken from a support node

It is in a block, limited to anonymous only, only on the home page.

It is my way to present a simple log-in link for a user to log in from.

After log in, the user is taken to the home page

I've got another post concerning whether or not Drupal is really suited to my application. As I delve further into what all Drupal is capable of I'm beginning to feel more confident that I could make it work (even if it has to be forced and/or hacked).

However, considering that I already have a lot of my business logic implemented and would like to get people to start using/testing soon, would it be possible/wise to go ahead and install drupal and use it as the basis for my site. Meaning it would control users, navigation/layout and basic privileges. But instead of my applications "data" and presentation being controlled by drupal in the "normal drupal" way it would kind of do its own thing and just make use of drupals user information and keep my applications data/logic parallel to Drupal. Then as I am able to integrate the different pieces of functionality back into drupal I can do it piece by piece.

I realize that is a very awkward and ambiguous question. But I'm still not sure how to make my data "fit" inside of how drupal operates. I'm sure part of it is just lack of understanding how to make drupal fit my needs. So, my question is really can I start working with drupal and as I learn new tricks/techniques move more pieces inside of drupal without having to know it all from the beginning?

Hi

One thing that has prevented me being able to use Drupal 5 was the huge amout of queries generated per page causing a big mysql bottleneck. This issue was happening on a pretty simple install with only a handful of common modules installed like image, path-auto, notify, no heavyweight modules like views.

Anyhow, as Drupal 6 is nearing completion, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the number of queries generated per page has dropped, and does the built in block caching reduce the query count by any significant amount ?

Cheers, Nick.
