Post installation

Hello,

I need to customize the login block, and I don't know where to start. I am having a lot of troubles understanding theming, so please, give me a hand here.

I need the login block to be displayed only when the user clicks on a link called "log in", which I created in a menu on the main page. By this I mean that whenever the user goes to my front page at my Drupal site, he is supposed to get a welcome message along with a few links (available on a menu I created). When the user clicks on the login link at that menu, only then will he get the login box.

ok
im having a problem

when you 1st install drupal it has the main menu bar thing up top where u can add links to the menu bar
but i have deleted it by accident how do i het it back?

i tried creating it again but now it just shows up with the menu bar name on there also
i want it like it was originally

Well, I actually need to know where I put the .install, .mysql, and .module files because I actually get confused on where to put them and I end up screwing up.

That's all.

Anyone know the url to view the favorite_nodes module info? I have it installed, even created a custom snippet to view the favorite nodes in the custom profile page.

I cannot, however, figure out out how to manage my favorites, ie delete them, view them all, etc.

Is this not built into the module or am I missing something?

Trying to get map module working. When I click on maps editor, I get the following error message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: gmap_macro_page() in /home/virtual/site150/fst/var/www/html/drupal/modules/map/map.module on line 148

I'm using a php snippet to show the guestbook.module in my user_profile.tpl.php file:

<?php
 print module_invoke('guestbook', 'page', $user->uid) 
?>

While this displays all the content I want in the page, I cannot rearrange the varaibles and insert any html to design the output. Any pointers as how to theme this output would be very helpful.
