我需要在主页上创建一个区域,公司总裁可以在该区域显示经常更改的消息。我不确定是否应该使用块或某种内容类型。秘书将被分配更新消息的任务,所以我不确定我是否希望她弄乱一个块。创建新内容类型需要内容的单个实例,该实例需要嵌入主页中。主页使用模板文件,因此我甚至可能需要添加一些PHP代码来控制内容的显示位置。
或者我应该创建自定义视图来完成此操作?

我最近遇到过类似的挑战。客户端需要一种方法来设置主页上显示的警报。与您的示例类似:
1)我不想让编辑有权编辑块
2)仅针对警报创建内容类型似乎有点矫枉过正
解决方案是创建一个执行以下操作的简单模块:
1)创建一个表单以输入警报内容并将该内容存储在Drupal的“变量”表中 (hook_admin())
2)创建一个管理页面来保存表单 (hook_menu())
3)定义分配给可编辑警报的角色的新权限 (hook_perm())
4)将存储在变量表中的值发送到page.tpl (hook_preprocess_page())
完整的模块文件:

*
* @toggle - whether or not an alert is active
* @severity - Severity of the alert (low or high)
* @title - The title of the Alert (usualy "Alert")
* @content - Content to display on the homepage
* @node - The associated Alert Node. The Read More link on the homepage will link to this node
