Drupal 7.x

I am in need of a login bar for Droupal 7 with the latest version of the Zen StarterKit theme...
I could settle just for buttons that just redirected to the logon page and once logged gave a message and a prompt to log out.

But I want to know how to do the horizontal form...

I have a top area (region) set for it...
and I have set a my user and login menus there...
Coding them to have them completely horizontal is the problem.

I'm new to drupal, but I've worked with it *very briefly* before in the past. I'm still learning the details, but I am an experienced developer so I've already got a pretty good grasp of how the system works.

I'm working with a series of different modules on Drupal 7. I've installed OG as well as rules, ubercart, views, etc. I've setup a Product that when purchased, assigns the purchaser a role (Team Creator) that allows them to create a node of content type Team. Team has been set as a group type. I also setup a rule that when a Team is created, the role of Team Creator is removed from the user and then that user is assigned the role of Team Maintainer.

Essentially, the idea here is to assign a price that must be paid in order to create a new Team but once that Team has been created, the creator can continue to edit the Team settings without also having the ability to create another Team.

Codified Logic

Pay $1 -> User can create 1 and only 1 team and then continue to maintain that team.

Hello everyone,
I am currently trying to learn drupal 7 module development with the help of the book "Pro drupal 7 development". I am on chapter 7 and trying to create a custom content type, I am at a point where I should be able to see new fields when I create a new node. The only problem is that only the title field shows up. I spent time recopying the example code in the book, and checked it over many times.
I am really starting to pull my hair out...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Members,

Need help in troubleshooting below issue:

I set up a RULE to create a group with the name of Account owners first name and last name (using TOKENS) automatically when they create account. It works fine for some time, i can see this rule works, but after some time the groups show the the name as the used token. For example:

when account is created its like: John Smith Group
after a while it changes to [account:field-firstname] [account:field-lastname] art gallery

I am having trouble to get my Drupal installed, primarily because of the support from the ITS and would like to get some suggessions/advices from you:
1. development site: Is that possible for Drupal to have a development server and a live server? Our techical support dept says there is no such a thing in Drupal. Is this true?

I want to insert a form element inside the header of a table. I use render array's throughout my code.
When I place the select box outside of the table, everything works as expected, when I place it inside the table, it doesn't. Is there any reason for this inconsistent behavior or how can I solve this?

thanks in advance
