You are going to want to google cck and views video tutorials for beginners.  I suggest that you watch videos since they are hands on and you can pause them as you follow along.

Here's a link I found to a couple of free videos by Lullabot:

Hi ,

I'm quite new to Drupal any chance you can walk me thorugh the method suggested below.
Another query... Is it possible to block users viewing nodes via the direct url or the menu. But allow them to see the content via a search only.

Kind regards,
Ayath

And you can't use CCK & Views w/ exposed filter?

Hi,

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can let users query a two column table.

Basically what I'd like to do is:
Allow users to search fusing or a specific string stored in Column A and the search should show up all the matches from column B.

For example: Lets say I have a table with colun names 'school_ID' and 'phone_number'.
I'd like users to be able to find the phone_number using the school_ID.
The text they enter should match the data in the table EXACTLY or an error message is shown.

Are there any modules to help me to this?
Or can I customise something already out there?


Kind regards,
Ayath
