Question

I am developing a module to display video. I have created a view so-called navigation for the user to select a video from a list.

Now I want o add this navigation to every node with type = ‘video’. I don’t know whether I should create a template for it ( then I have to put the template file in theme folder which is not so good ) or use some kind of hooks ( I haven’t figured out which one to use ) ?

I tried to install http://drupal.org/project/views_attach, however the view only appeared in the content (after Title) which is not what I really want. I want it to be on top of the title.

Please help. I’m using drupal 6
Thanks in advance.

I finally found how to implement a view as block (simply select block as a content view) and I use this code below to display a block in a certain node type

<?php
  $match = FALSE;
  $types = array('video'=>1);

  if ((arg(0) == 'node') && is_numeric(arg(1))) {
    $node = node_load(arg(1));
    $match = isset($types[$node->type]);
  }
  return $match
}
?>
