Or you can find the code in the page.tpl.php template in your theme and delete or preferably comment out the code - or try looking in template.php and node.tpl.php
(always remember to back up the original files in case it doesn't work the way you planned!)
I think using css is preferable
I am working on a site with ALL the Drupal features hidden on the front end - for now we're using the back end - I think we will eventually want the community plumbing, so then it'll be easy to roll it out.
About half of the hiding is done with css, some had to be done in the php templates
The pages are made up of individual nodes assembled sort of like php includes
Oh you know I meant how to hide it only on the home page. As you probably know already display: none hides the title tag on every page, as would deleting the statement.
For Drupal 5 see: http://drupal.org/phptemplate. Each of the links to a tpl.php file (ex: node.tpl.php) will list the variables available in that template.
Yeah PHP is the way to go in my opinion. But I inserted that statement and created a $title = 'home' but it didn't remove it... Can you show me an actual live excerpt?
What do you mean by "created a $title = 'home' ", you mean you created content with the title 'home'. Unless you make the content the default front page the title will show when viewing it.
I would guess you are using the default front page (node) and promoting a single node to the front page. Try changing the front page to be just that node (ex: node/123, the 123 will be different for you). You can do this by visiting "Administer" > "Site configuration" > "Site information" and setting "Default front page".
This is a good solution in that it allows you to specify the title of the page in order to single it out by the actual text of the title. However, that's also it's drawback, because what if you change that title? You now have to make sure every page you promote to uses the name you specified in the tpl. But it's still a clever kluge.

I have discovered that hiding the node title has the side-effect of disabling RSS. Has anybody ran into this? Any ideas how to still hide the node title from my home page while keeping RSS enabled?
Hello...this technique worked well for me..but i have another doubt. How to remove ' Posted Sun, 06/06/2010 - 17:32 by Anonymous ' just below the title?
I've tried your approach on page.tpl.php and page-front.tpl.php but I can't seem to get this to work. Do you know if there's anything different I need to do if working on a zen sub-theme?
I found another method useful on my site: create a specific node.tpl.php file for just the node(s) appearing on the front page. Details here: http://drupal.org/node/136647.
I read some of the comments over there. Seriously? How could anyone not think this is a good idea, a most basic feature that should be there. Jeez.
Ok, yes, I come from Joomla too, but I've gotten pretty deep into Drupal too and it's earned quite a bit of respect. This is just such a basic feature to me I find myself really surprised there is no such built-in functionality in it.
Not very good SEO to leave the title tag out of head. Note this does not change the printing of $title on the page which is what the original question is about.
I like the style you use with testing that the $title isn't empty before trying to print it. However in the unusual circumstances that you have a page with no title, do you really still want to print an empty <h1> tag-set into the page?
It might be an improvement to put the IF statement around the whole thing and/or combine the nested IF-statements, e.g.:
An Omega Sub-theme has settings in "Toggle advanced elements" to hide the Page Title, Site Name, Site Slogan with CSS while leaving them accessible to screen readers.

two ways, css and php
You can set its css to display: none;

how about javascript?
Use some js to test the location and hide/display accordingly...
<script language="javascript">If (location=="your_home_page_url") getElementById("titleid").style.display="none";
</script>
replace titleid with id of title in your theme that you want to hide-
should work....
haven't tested it, but give it a try

Another approach, at the top
Another approach, at the top of page.tpl.php add
<?phpif ( $is_front ) {
unset($title);
}
?>
this will unset the title when view the front page (so it should not print).
use the php code
Yeah, I think the php solution looks better
Is there a list of Drupal variables and tokens somewhere on this sprawling site, and tips on manipulating them?

It's not a page title :)
I would guess you are using the default front page (node) and promoting a single node to the front page.

easy in Zen
You are in luck because Zen makes it super easy. There is a class called "front."
So something like:
.front .title{display:none
}
is the quick solution to your problem.

I opened a feature request
I opened a feature request for this at #639966: Let us hide title on default front page.
Thanks--Good Idea
I read some of the comments over there. Seriously? How could anyone not think this is a good idea, a most basic feature that should be there. Jeez.
Ok, yes, I come from Joomla too, but I've gotten pretty deep into Drupal too and it's earned quite a bit of respect. This is just such a basic feature to me I find myself really surprised there is no such built-in functionality in it.
page-front.tpl.php
Instead of unset($title) which erases variables, why not copy your page.tpl.php to page-front.tpl.php.
At the top of the page-front.tpl.php, don't print the $title, eg at the top of page-front.tpl.php:
<head><!-- <title><?php // print $head_title; ?></title> -->
<?php print $head; ?>
<?php print $styles; ?>
<?php print $scripts; ?>
</head>

http://www.hydeinteractive.com/
why comment it out?
@jghyde
<head><?php print $head; ?>
<?php print $styles; ?>
<?php print $scripts; ?>
</head>
is a cleaner way...
~are you netsperienced?
Not very good SEO to leave
Not very good SEO to leave the title tag out of head. Note this does not change the printing of $title on the page which is what the original question is about.
good point
@nevets
you're right, this affects the DOM title but not the page title...
I have also found that when CSS alone cannot be specific enough, a bit of jQuery can work miracles eg #807014: exclude specific users and roles (eg admin) from public User List
~are you netsperienced?
Using php in page.tpl.php
Here is how I solved this issue, using page.tpl.php:
<?php if (!$is_front): ?><h1 class="title" id="page-title"><?php if (!empty($title)): print $title; endif; ?></h1>
<?php endif; ?>

It's good form that you check that title is set...
I like the style you use with testing that the
$titleisn't empty before trying to print it. However in the unusual circumstances that you have a page with no title, do you really still want to print an empty<h1>tag-set into the page?It might be an improvement to put the IF statement around the whole thing and/or combine the nested IF-statements, e.g.:
<?php if (!$is_front && !empty($title)): ?><h1 class="title" id="page-title"><?php print $title; ?></h1>
<?php endif; ?>
