Drupal - how to remove static node names

[ray_gillespie]

Hi guys,

Is anyone here any good with Drupal? I just installed the new 6.2 version (I've not used it since 5.x a while ago) to create a website for my soon-to-be inlaws and I can't work out how to remove the node titles from each page, in particular the front page.

Here's the site at the moment:

See the word "Welcome"? How do I remove that?

Thanks in advance!

Can you edit the index file?

If so, simply remove the marked part in the header div;

<div id="center"><div id="squeeze"><div class="right-corner"><div class="left-corner">
[B]<h2>Welcome</h2>[/B]
<div class="clear-block"> <div id="node-1" class="node">

Oh if only it were that simple! I don't think there's any way of editing pages like that as they are essentially generated on-the-fly.

Thanks for the help anyway! I'll have to keep looking into it. Perhaps the PHP/CSS of the theme could be tampered with...

I doubt it can be solved by editing the stylesheet. There's no way of actually editing the source codes?

Not really as it's a CMS - I can edit the themes themselves or perhaps there is a module I can install that will give me some flexibility, but either way I don't know what to do! I'll have to keep messing around until I break it hehe.

If so, then I'm guessing it's PHP based? How about editing the index.php file?

Not likely - have a look for yourself lol:

require_once './includes/bootstrap.inc';
drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL);
$return = menu_execute_active_handler();
// Menu status constants are integers; page content is a string.
if (is_int($return)) {
  switch ($return) {
    case MENU_NOT_FOUND:
      drupal_not_found();
      break;
    case MENU_ACCESS_DENIED:
      drupal_access_denied();
      break;
    case MENU_SITE_OFFLINE:
      drupal_site_offline();
      break;
  }
}
elseif (isset($return)) {
  // Print any value (including an empty string) except NULL or undefined:
  print theme('page', $return);
}
drupal_page_footer();
