Can anyone tell me how I can create a node without a summary? For instance, I am using a flash based eBook reader on this node and I don't want to have a summary at all, just one HTML block. (Like if you just wanted to embed a Google Map and that's it.... the summary only confuses users)

Can anyone help me? Maybe I'm missing something really obvious, but I can't figure this out.

Thanks,
Ted

initially i was thinking just go to content type and in submission just leave "body" blank and that won't appear - but since you want to embed something you may have to work around that...but it shouldn't be hard.

perhaps you could hack it - use CCK to add a field for your ebook (content type, whichever one you're using), and then follow that item above (leave body blank so there is *only* a title and that cck field, no 'body' and hence no summary)...you could also make this same content type available to others...

keep in mind that storing the teaser in the db and displaying it on the site are two separate issues. if you just don't want to display it, this can be handled at the theme level... so where are you seeing the teaser that you don't want to be?
