Hi,

I want to tag my content with terms from a vocabulary I created, but I don't want those terms to show up (I'm only including them to put together a view later). The problem is I can't figure out a way to make them not display.

When I go to edit the relevant content type, there's no option to hide display of the category (as there is with other administrator-created fields). Shouldn't that be an option? I know there's the contemplate module but I haven't quite wrapped my head around how to use it. I suspect there is an easier way!

thanks,
Paul

I find this very useful as it allows you to not only set Taxonomy Defaults, but also to hide Taxonomy from the content creators. This is useful when you want a certain Taxonomy term to always be associated with a certain content type without giving the user an option to change that.

Thanks for the tip, Peter. Taxonomy Defaults looks like it will be helpful to me. Unfortunately, it does the opposite of what I wanted:

Taxonomy Defaults: don't show terms in admin create content form; show terms on external site
Me: show terms in admin create content form; don't show term on external site

I did, however, figure out another way to skin this cat.

div.terms {display: none;}

Voila.

Thanks,
Paul

You can also edit the template file (node.tpl.php) and remove the $terms variable - if you'd rather not use css to hide it.
