I've some blocks in my Drupal website with some text. I need to other some links in the text, to pdfs (and upload them from back-end). Can I add some upload fields to the block pages, and link them from the text ? thanks

I don't know of anything offhand to allow you to achieve this with blocks, but I'll update my answer if I think of anything.

It's somewhat tricky to get arguments into views blocks but it's certainly possible, using panels, or using other tricks. More info on that: here: http://drupal.org/node/150482 here: http://drupal.org/node/695124 http://drupal.org/node/161867#comment-1086587

For D6, the solution is more complex I guess. You could create a separate content type, attach the files there (by using Inline, FileField, . ). Then, either write a custom module that exposes a block for each node of that type and then renders the node in those blocks or use Views to create a view of a single node. Using views would be a bit overkill I guess but should be relatively fast if you can use caching..
