When you use editable fields in a table view, the field title appears in each cell thoughout the entire table. I think this is rather redundant and takes up a lot of valuable space in a large table.

Can it be set as an option (in the view config?) to not label each cell with a title? or can I remove it from the .module somewhere?

I dont think its the name of the column, I think its the text which is associated with the field. If you had no field name, you wouldn't have the text. Trouble is, if you had not field name, I'm not sure you would have a field. BUT you could theme this, or maybe you can now remove the field name (in the content type display options)... Let us know how you get on ;-)

I did call it "field title" above - I wasn't confusing it with the column title.

I wouldn't have the foggiest how to theme out the field title....and I don't think you can (or want to) not have a field title or else in your node/add pages, users wouldn't know what a field was? it's just that in a View with a named column, it's rather redundant (wasting valuable space)

sorry, my stupidity ;-)

I have a feeling that in some of the newer CCK releases there is an option in the CCK content type menus to not display the field title, or only on full nodes, or only in teasers, or something.....
Would that work?

Other than that... sorry not to be any help. The thing is, the field title is printed out by the field rendering code I think, not by this module, so I dont really have control over it.....

np!

There already is the ability to hide the field name in teasers or full nodes - see the Display Fields in the content type setup...that makes me think a similar "Views" option should be put there as well! :)

I have no idea how to do that of course...

Did you try those options? I dont think there is a specific 'view' way of viewing something, I think it just takes the 'full' or 'teaser' depending on the options given to the view field.... In this case, it should take 'full'
