How to remove Read more on front page (Drupal 7)

To make something else the the home page in Drupal 7 go to Configuration > SYSTEM > Site Information. There you will find the "Default front page" setting.

This will remove the read more from your page but you will be limited to only having one node/page as your homepage.

Copy file modules\node\node.tpl.php in your theme folder and remove line
<?php print render($content['links']); ?>
but this method will remove "read more" link from all nodes on the site...
Or you can wrap this line with "if" statement and check if the node is promoted for front page, like this
<?php if (!$promote){ print render($content['links']); } ?>
Hope this will help

Select the node for the front page in
Configuration -> Site Information --> standard website : node/xy
and Read more goes away.

Sometimes the simplest solution is best. If you are setting a class on your front page or if you have added a specific css to the front page, you can just do a display:none on the elements you don't want showing.

I changed my default front page and number of post on front page, thats it.

Configuration--> site information --> Here you will find text box for "default front page"

Under the default front page add the full path of the front page and save configuration. It worked for my drupal 7 website

I got into lots of problem when I attempted to remove the read more link from the front page (Drupal 7). I managed eventually by hacking the core files but when it clicked in my mind that do not hack "core", I immediately changed my mind.

I thought, can't I use view to do that. That is the time I discovered that I had wasted almost a whole day trying to achieve a simple thing through the hard way.

This how it is done. Install views module (drupal 7) and then the ctools. Enable both. Go to structure and choose view. Create view say, home. Set title to none, unformatted. Set the filter creteria to content promoted to front page and published. After this set the path. Save. Go to configurations and change the URL of the index. Done. Go to your front page and there you are. I have posted a detailed article on my website - www.webmakers.co.ke/blog.

By default, the "Default front page" is set to "node," which simply displays articles that have been "Promoted to front page." So, out of the box, yourdomain.com displays content from yourdomain.com/node. Note that when changing the "Default front page" to something other than "node", nodes that are "Promoted to front page" will no longer appear on the front page unless you take specific actions to make them appear. They can however, still be viewed by visiting the relative URL path "node".

The simplest way to change the default front page is to go to 'admin/config/system/site-information', under the 'Front Page' settings section, you can change the default front page there. So, if you want your front page to display the contents of node 24, for example, you would enter 'node/24' as the front page path. If you are using aliases, then you can use the alias as the path. Depending on your display settings at (admin/structure/types/manage/[content_type]/display) for the node type, your node 24 (or its alias) will display on your front page without the read more link. In other words, if your default display settings for the node type is not set to teaser, than, the read more link will not display.

A better way is to use Views. If you are using Views (of course you are using Views), Views comes out-of-the-box with a front page View that you can customize to fit your needs. The Views front page view has a relative path of '/frontpage', therefore, for this View to have effect, you must change your sites Default front page path to 'frontpage' at 'admin/config/system/site-information'. Using Views to display your site's front page gives you much more flexibility in what and how your front page is displayed.

For more information on overriding the default front page behaviors see:

• Creating a new front page with Views and Panels 3 (http://drupal.org/node/206792)
• http://gotdrupal.com/videos/drupal-views-tutorial

No need to dig into the core modules or node templates.

Firstly download a module called " Read More Links" from "http://drupal.org/project/read_more" then on dash board click on "Configuration" -> "Content authoring" -> "Read More Link" -> "Disable links"

I guess this should solve the issue. With out any additional code needed.

Cheers

Hello,

I've removed the read more by placing the following in my theme css:

.front .node-readmore {
display: none;
}

Hope this helps!

This also works. Demonstrating how to hide read more, add a new comment link, and links:

     hide($content['node-readmore']);
     hide($content['comments']);
     hide($content['links']);
     print render($content);

For Drupal 7

Add following code in template.php file of your active theme.

function themename_preprocess_node(&$variables) {
  unset($variables['content']['links']['node']);
}

this will remove only 'read more' link but will not show full content,

To show full content,
1 - Go to: structure > content types
2 - under Basic page (assuming that the promoted page is a basic page) choose manage display.
3 - on the bottom click on "Custom display settings"
4 - uncheck all the other and enable full content.

It worked for me.

Here is what I did to solve the problem in Drupal 7:

1. Install the Read More Control module: https://drupal.org/project/readmorecontrol
2. Go to the Global settings under Configuration > Content Authoring > Read More Settings
3. Set the default behaviour to "Show link when required by any supported fields"
4. Go to the configuration page for my content type.
5. Remove "Teaser" in the Custom Display Settings section.

This is a great reason to use display suite in D7, and a lot of this functionality has gone into core in 8.

Enable Read More Link module.
Go to Configuration>> Content authoring >> Read More Link
Check Remove Read More link from links section.
It worked for me.
