How do I remove things from teasers?

In your theme folder, in the "template" file node.tpl.php, you can use logic with the variable $teaser, a boolean, to display what you want in the teaser view. $teaser is TRUE when the teaser has to be displayed, and FALSE when the node has to be shown in full view. You don't set that variable : you use it. And you use it for "logic".

For example :

<?php phptemplate_comment_wrapper(NULL, $node->type); ?>

<div id="node-<?php print $node->nid; ?>" class="node<?php if ($sticky) { print ' sticky'; } ?><?php if (!$status) { print ' node-unpublished'; } ?>">

<?php print $picture ?>

<?php if ($page == 0): ?>
  <h2><a href="<?php print $node_url ?>" title="<?php print $title ?>"><?php print $title ?></a></h2>
<?php endif; ?>

  <?php if ($submitted && !$teaser): ?>
    <span class="submitted"><?php print t('!date — !username', array('!username' => theme('username', $node), '!date' => format_date($node->created))); ?></span>
  <?php endif; ?>

  <div class="content">
    <?php print $content ?>
  </div>

  <div class="clear-block clear">
    <div class="meta">
    <?php if ($taxonomy && !$teaser): ?>
      <div class="terms"><?php print $terms ?></div>
    <?php endif;?>
    </div>    

  </div>

</div>

Look in the above code for the two places where I use (added) && !teaser in the if condition.

The variable $content in node.tpl.php is the entire content (body) of the node or the teaser, i.e. $node->teaser. You are left with one less thing to worry about with that variable.

Now, as far as hiding the "Add a Comment" link, you could very well hide ALL links, hence add && !teaser in your node.tpl.php file :

<?php if ($links && !$teaser): ?>
<div class="links"><?php print $links; ?></div>
<?php endif; ?>

OR, alternatively, you can use a CSS rule with a hook to that link to hide that PARTICULAR link in your theme style.css file:

.comment_add {
display:none;
}

If you want to apply all this tweeking only to nodes of a particular content type, copy and paste the content of
node.tpl.php in a new file inside the same folder with name : node-content_type_name.tpl.php
with the changes you need (and I gave you the code above, so it should be easy).

For example, if you have created a content type with name "news" then
1- create a file with name node-news.tpl.php
2- copy what's in node.tpl.php in node-news.tpl.php
3- make the changes...

You don't need to tell Drupal about the existence of a content-type-specific node template file.
It will look for one. If it does not find one, it uses node.tpl.php.

Submitted by user and date go away when you change the settings in Admin >> Themes. And I don't get the terms in teaser view with Garland.

Yep, right..!!! user node, submit date, taxonomies, comment donot need to show in teaser but in full preview is good to show, just like http://www.usmagazine.com , right ?!
I just posted the same issue but no one couldn't give a favor they're just referring me to another link.
Finally, i'll do to work with the code that gave on this post but i'm not sure it's gonna work...I hope all friends in this issue could give me a hand while i got a problem

On a related note, I'm trying to remove the terms display altogether for nodes. I remove the obvious lines from node.tpl.php, and when logged in the terms don't appear, but they do to anonymous users, or at least one term does.

Here's my node.tpl.php:

<div class="node<?php if ($sticky) { print " sticky"; } ?><?php if (!$status) { print " node-unpublished"; } ?>">
  <?php if ($picture) {
      print $picture;
    }?>
  <?php if ($page == 0) { ?>
  <h2 class="title"><a href="<?php print $node_url?>"><?php print $title?></a></h2>
  <?php }; ?>
  <span class="submitted"><?php print $submitted?></span>
  <div class="content"><?php print $content?></div>
  <div class="clear-block clear">
    <?php if ($links): ?>
      <div class="links"><?php print $links; ?></div>
    <?php endif; ?>
  </div>
</div>

As you can see there's no "print $terms" in there at all, but it's still printing some terms for anonymous users.

I've cleared my broswer cache, tried different browsers, but the behavior is the same...

I have little different problem. I would like to display node teasers with only titles and texts in right or left blocks. Can't figure out how to get rid of the links in "submitted" class (post date, posted by, etc), but only for the teaser displayed in blocks.

you can also create node specific template if you only want to change the look for particular nodes. For example, you can create a file called "node-yournodetype.tpl.php" as I described here for customizing the look of taxonomy terms.

One question. I want that comments show authors name, but that this is not shown as a link. Just the name without link. How can this be done? I suppose it has to do with playing with $links but I don't want to suppress the authors name, only disable it as a link. Any hint?

Alternatively, to hide the terms you could use the term_display module.

The good thing about this solutions is - you don't need to do any coding or template/CSS modifications.

The bad - this module will just plain always hide the specified terms/vocabularies, i.e. you won't have control over whether you want to show them in page view and hide them in teasers. Works quite well for some vocabularies, though.

I would like to remove the submitted by and terms fields from the teaser but when I add the code from this post to the teaser file, it removes the submitted by from both the teaser and the full post and does nothing with the terms in either.

The code for the node file in this theme looks significantly different than shown in this post. Here it is:

<?php if ($type!='storymin'): ?>
  <?php if ($submitted): ?>
    <span class="submitted"><?php print format_date($node->created, 'custom', "F jS, Y") . theme('username', $node); ?></span>
  <?php endif; ?>

  <?php if (count($taxonomy)): ?>
    <div class="taxonomy"><?php print t(' in ') . $terms ?></div>
  <?php endif; ?>
  <?php endif; ?>

  <div class="content">
    <?php print $content; ?>
  </div>

<?php if ($type!='storymin'): ?>
  <?php if ($links): ?>
    <div class="links">
      <?php print $links; ?>
    </div>
  <?php endif; ?>
  <?php endif; ?>

There doesn't appear to be any reference to the teaser in the CSS so I don't know that I can do anything with that.

Is it possible to control the display of different node types with multiple CSS files, each for a specific node?!!

I am trying to get the "add comment" and taxonomy terms to hide from my teaster view. I want to keep the "...read more" link on the teaser view.

I have tried the following and it leaves the "...read more" link in the teaser, but it also appears on the node view now. Also, the "add comment" link is gone from the teaser (which is good) but gone from the full node as well. Can anyone help me out? I am absolute php novice.

Thanks,

Dave

Thanks..

Without much sweating i have used Mojah's code and it worked great on my drupal 6x site.
But this issue do not happen for all themes. some themes are doing this (removing/disabling) add comments link from the teasers automatically. However few themes are not.

I would rather expect Drupal to provide this option as core feature some where in post settings in administration and that would help every one.

you can look at it at http://www.balikampung.com/articles

thanks again

Greetings,

There lots of good advice here about how to hide default variables, but how do we go about hiding a div layer from a teaser?

Thanks

How to remove the login/ register message from the comment module?

Edit: http://drupal.org/node/232310#comment-5003814

This is totally ridiculous that the easiest way to remove the "Add comment" is through the theme. Why is there not an option within Drupal core?

In Drupal 7, the codes in node.tpl.php of themes\templates are different from those showed in earlier comments. I had to do it different but I used Caroline's instructions to arrive at the solution. Open file sites\all\theme\yourtheme\templates\node.tpl.php

Look at around line 38 to line 43. Look for:

  <?php if ($display_submitted): ?>
    <footer class="submitted<?php $user_picture ? print ' with-user-picture' : ''; ?>">
      <?php print $user_picture; ?>
      <p class="author-datetime"><?php print $submitted; ?></p>
    </footer>
  <?php endif; ?>

add && !$teaser after $display_submitted

It should then be like this:

  <?php if ($display_submitted && !$teaser): ?>
    <footer class="submitted<?php $user_picture ? print ' with-user-picture' : ''; ?>">
      <?php print $user_picture; ?>
      <p class="author-datetime"><?php print $submitted; ?></p>
    </footer>
  <?php endif; ?>

Save your file and go have a look.
